The Frail Constitution of Life by Ivan C. Possamai - Oct 20th 2021

 Life...

In almost every case taken for granted. 

"An apple tree makes apples as the world people's"... Alan Watts said once. I couldn't agree less with this remarkable observation. WE ARE ALL A PRODUCT OF THIS WORLD. 

This world, a SPACESHIP and we are all riding on it. Unstoppably Traveling, spinning, floating in the infinite universe. Hanging by a thread between the sun and the moon enabling life as we know it. 

(Once we have made a base in Mars lived, gave birth, produced food, water and oxygen in Mars, we would probably be able to assert that WORLD PEOPLES.  (funny) and SPACESHIP is also the name of the vessels that will bring us to Mars through SPACEX/Elon Musk.

Now, I will take a bold step and further expand this concept to say THE WORLD = LIF'E'S! In other words, until proven contrary, the WORLD is the sole source for Life. 

Everything runs as sub-products of Atoms and substances that "are present", since the beginning of time, and transformed themselves through billions of years. (4 billions earth/15 billions the universe according to specialists).

Now Life in this world is funny and super interesting. It comes and goes... 

After weighing bodies after life and death a scientist found that our soul weights approximately only 21 grams...

21 Grams is what we leave in the ether.

On the subject about fragility of life, 3 events were marked it in 3 consecutive days. 

In a span of three days, 3 separate events exploded in my mind this concept of the fragility of existence. 

Today is Wednesday October the 20th. Three Days ago on the 17th we've discovered that our dear friend Maria Socci almost died from a blood infection. When she gave birth 4 months ago to Draco, her placenta was not completely expelled from  her uterus. It ended up causing an infection which eventually infected her blood stream.  A couple more days and it could have been fatal!

One Day Alive and Well the Other Bad and Dead. Isn't it frightening the realization of the reality of how frail life truly is. Life could change in a blink of an eye. 

We theoretically only live once and should make the best out of it. We are all living on borrowed time. Borrowed time protected by Spaceship Earth which also has its own dangers and can collect and rescind our lives at any time and moment it wishes.

We have to be careful and use our time wisely.  Carpem Diem. 

Not only humans but also all sentient beings and living things. 

Take the 18th then... one day after. We are in the beach, Santa Rosa Island, Florida, Close to Pensacola Beach and Louisiana. 

A total paradise. A stretch of untouched sand and native forest that extends along for miles, in a beautiful line of  white virgin sand. 

After spending the entire night and the morning sleeping, all alone, in the middle of the sand watching the moving of the stars in the sky going from one side of the infinite black to the other, together with a enormous bright full moon. The winds of the beginning of winter blowing at us, while we are cuddled bellow two sleeping bags, keeping each other warm with our dogs at our feet. 

After  this glamorous night we woke up to the most amazing sunrise ever imagined! Seeing the sky turn from black to white,  yellow, to orange,  red until finally a fire ball starts to peek up bursting in the sky and making light visible on whatever it touches. 

While all of this magnificent and unique spectacle of life was happening, in the morning our little cutest dog in the world, our Yorkshire Nina was feeling sick and vomiting water. 

She hadn't eaten the day before or that morning, the entire way 7 hours drive back home we had to stop on the side of the road to allow her to vomiting. She is small and delicate. We were worried for her to say the last and on edge. got us on our edge.

We thought we were going to lose her and only the thought of that made us shiver. 

For the record we nursed Nina back to health  and she was recovered. 

This  exemplifies once more the fragility of life! One second here... the other not anymore. 

To finalize... after one month in a marvelous car road trip that took us from Orlando -Florida, to Colorado Springs, Boulder, Denver, Aspen, Glaciers, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Portland, Silver Falls, Roswell New Mexico and Finally  Santa Rosa Pensacola Beach, we arrived back home. 

We arrived back home just to find that we have almost lost everything. Including Rafael our son and our whole house. 

It happens that, bestow to our knowledge, Rafael had a couple days before left the gas from the stove on all night. 

By a Miracle the neighbor noticed the gas leak and reported it to the land lord who in turn cam over to evacuate our son from the apartment.  Just a little spark and the whole apartment, in fact the whole building, would be thrown away in flames. Not to mention the possibility of him passing from natural gas poisoning.

Once again, one moment everything perfect... the other everything gone...

This shows once more, in just three events, in three days, how easily everyone's life can change in a split second, split wrong decision.

As luck and serendipity prevailed to us, , we found ourselves extremally happy and blessed that nothing happened in these cases and to ourselves or our loved ones.

However, these stories remind us of the fact that we are not here forever. That things can change at anytime and without notice. So we should never use any of our borrowed time in this earth and in this life time wasted on intrigues, fights, anger or any damaging or harmful behaviors. 

Its not worth it... and after all.. life is too fragile to be wasted with that!

Live your life to the fullest and remember some simple facts to do it:

Enjoy every single moment that you live and always be in the present, be here now. 

Always be kind and maintain a happy mind. 

Enjoy being in the present in joy.

That's all you need! 

Be safe and be blessed!

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi

25 Alan Watts Quotes to Teach You the Transformative Power of Insighs Pin A prolific author and speaker, Alan Wilson Watts is credited with the interpretation and introduction of Eastern philosophy to the Western audience. As his mother’s students were children of missionaries to Asia, Watts began to be fascinated by Asian art, literature, and philosophy; so in time, he learned Chinese and started to explore the fundamental beliefs and practices of religions and philosophies of India and East Asia. After a rigorous research in Zen Buddhism, Watts published one of the first books on the topic –  The Way of Zen  – introducing the burgeoning youth culture to it. Due to all the wisdom it embodies, Watts even suggested that Buddhism could be presented and taught as a form of psychotherapy, and not only as a religion. Alan Watts is the author of more than 25 books on various topics such as philosophy, Eastern and Western religion, natural history, semantics, cybernetics and the

Could Asia really go to war over these?

Could Asia really go to war over these? The bickering over islands is a serious threat to the region’s peace and prosperity Sep 22nd 2012 | from the print edition THE countries of Asia do not exactly see the world in a grain of sand, but they have identified grave threats to the national interest in the tiny outcrops and shoals scattered off their coasts. The summer has seen a succession of maritime disputes involving China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines. This week there were more anti-Japanese riots in cities across China because of a dispute over a group of uninhabited islands known to the Japanese as the Senkakus and to the Chinese as the Diaoyus. Toyota and Honda closed down their factories. Amid heated rhetoric on both sides, one Chinese newspaper has helpfully suggested skipping the pointless diplomacy and moving straight to the main course by serving up Japan with an atom bomb. That, thank goodness, is grotesque hyperbole: th

What is the best piece of advice you ever received to earn more money? Hector Quintanilla , Founder at DigitalAgeEducation.com Updated Jul 25, 2018 I just gave this lesson to my 10-year-old son. “Dad, to make money I will be walking our neighbors’ dogs. How much should I charge?” “How much do you want to make?”  I asked. “I think I could charge $3 dollars per hour.” “Is that all you want to make? Only $3 dollars per hour?” “No!”  he interrupted,  “I would love to make $20 dollars, but how could I do that? Do you think people will pay me $20?” I started to work on his mindset: “What are you selling, Son?” He stopped staring at me thinking,  “I’m not selling anything, Dad. What do you mean?” “Okay,”  I said,  “pretend I’m your customer. Sell to me.” He ran quickly to the computer and printed out a brochure he created that said: I WALK YOUR DOG $3 PER HOUR. CALL ME. “Here, Dad,”  giving me the brochure, “ will you hire

Google quantum computer leaves old-school supercomputers in the dust The era of practical quantum computers has begun -- at least on one speed test showing "quantum supremacy." BY  STEPHEN SHANKLAND OCTOBER 23, 2019   11:09 AM PDT 3 Google's Sycamore chip powers a quantum computer Google A Google quantum computer has far outpaced ordinary computing technology, an achievement called  quantum supremacy  that's an important milestone for a revolutionary way of processing data.  Google disclosed the results in the journal Nature  on Wednesday. The achievement came after more than a decade of work at Google, including the use of its own quantum computing chip, called Sycamore. "Our machine performed the target computation in 200 seconds, and from measurements in our experiment we determined that it would take the world's fastest supercomputer 10,000 years to produce a similar output,"  Google re

What is a sad truth about life?

By
Image
Imagine yourself in this scenario: She is your wife. This is your car. This is your house. This is your phone. You're a multi-billionaire. You graduated from Harvard. You have a Ph.D. People love you. People hang out with you. People notice you. People take care of you. People treat you with superiority. People invite you to the best parties. Now, take away the wedding; you are single. Substitute the Bugatti with a rusty, broken car, with over 200K miles. Your home is the street. You have a flip phone. You are barely making ends meet. Many days you go without food. You cannot afford to go to college. You have no degree. Your lifestyle is now like this. What do you have? What does society see in you? Nothing. Suddenly, you go from 500 friends to 0. The people you thought cared about you are nowhere to be found. You are alone. You are struggling. And no one cares. The saddest truth about life is that
