Pride Of Fernando

Being afraid of the passage of time is not just a matter of age, however much it may seem otherwise. Realizing the time that passes becomes the trigger to initiate a change. Sometimes, it is only the purpose of a new attitude to face things. But pride is a state of mind that is usually very powerful in human beings that can create great marvelous acts as well as one of the worst diseases ever seen on earth.

For a long time, we met different people and when we decided to travel the world, we found a clash of cultures proud of their roots, somewhat with kind people and other bitter people.

In the experience of traveling and knowing, it was part of the small great nature of the instinct of wanting to explore that Fernando had, taking hand in hand with adventures and risks that made him feel unique.

Once upon a time, Fernando, visited a mysterious village in Peru, located in the province of Arequipa, was a very cold place near high mountains and with glacial poles, the inhabitants said they were the four volcanoes that represented the goddesses of abundance in that region, as strange as it seemed, its food dishes were also diverse and I learn to learn culinary art in Peru, with an extensive gastronomy.

Among all his experiences he was known as the lumberjack, because of his manly, slender appearance and his great humanity when socializing with all people, he was also part of a group of missionaries who helped many immigrants in street situations, people with low economic resources and people who lacked the legal documentation to be able to live in that country.

Fernando was the example to follow of a good gentleman, of those who presented you at a party, that you could not forget his beauty, his charisma and sympathy.

Fernando himself was a proud person to always carry his family emblem, but for personal inconvenience he was always superb and stubborn when making wise decisions, this was imposing before any third party's judgment.

Because of his stupid pride, he lost the wife who loved him as well as lost contact with his children, with people who would be his faithful companions of a lifetime.

He walked away in a temporary time capsule, where his mind assumed the role of the punisher, leading him to madness.
