Far be it from me to believe that we are not in any way responsible for our actions and that everything that happens to us, or our state only depend on circumstances beyond our control (now I feel a little 'Tamarra and simplistic, and then say that we can talk of "destiny").
I mean by this that you can not deny the existence of any of our personal initiative or willpower that allows us to act on their own momentum and not because a greater force us into a. Or if you can not, surely this kind of thinking diminishes the great ability that man has, for better or for worse, and I'm for a more merit-based way of seeing things.
But -I know you expected an adversative conjunction, reader-there are things that we can not control with our means, but it is not my intention to dwell on what determines these things, whether it is karma or clinamen, it is not That's what I want to talk.
I'm sure stopping to think, for example, of how they met some people, as an event that would consider "totally accidental" has resulted in a significant change in their lives and so on, many people talk about fate. And I do not exclude myself, so much so that just yesterday I think some circumstances lead to quite unexpected effects.
Around four o'clock yesterday I was on my way home after a During the afternoon of English and I decided (or at least I think I've decided, haha) to go through the park on the bus route, where I met, within walking distance of each other, two elderly men.
The first was sitting on a bench facing the pond artficiale, putrid, a paradise for mosquitoes in the summer, so foul that now all forms of life, except mosquitoes, in fact, had barber for a couple of years. Despite this premise, the old man had stopped to me ask if it seemed to me that the yellow spot on the water was a duck. To my great regret, I had to disappoint the man telling him that no, actually it was the light of a lamp that was reflected on the surface. Him without his intention, I feel embarrassed to a complete stranger, which is justified by saying that he is not that we see so much = (.
But we move on to the second meeting, a little further, as I said, I stopped another grandfather for me to read aloud a paper, addressed to him and sent by the Court of Salerno, on which was written a list of names and some details of the recipient and where it was said that the old man in question was "free from all criminal penalties and effects "(or almost ...).
- Signuri , but then ... I'm free! - says with a smile and thanks me with lots of windows.
There is no way I would show that old people or willing and able to provide our brief interactions, the embarrassment and disappointment for the former and little joy in the second. However, I regret not having done the local mind, yesterday, while talking with the pilot, and congratulate him on his seventy-fifth birthday, which is today.
