I don’t know of anyone that wants to die, although it is a fate that we all share. It’s something I never thought about when I was younger but something I can’t stop thinking about as I get older. It’s not as much the fear for me as the fear for my kids and my family.
I support a lot of people that would not be able to support themselves otherwise. I need to know that they would be taken care of if I died today. As I try to come up with different ways they’d be looked after one thought keeps entering my mind, do the people that would be looking after my kids believe the same as I believe? And most of all is what I believe correct.
I’ve always felt that hard work was part of life and over the years it has become a part of mine that I enjoy. However it is not a normal part of the culture here in Colombia and one that is almost impossible to find. I’ve been criticized by good friends for my passion for work but it’s those same friends that watch me buy new toys for my kids and new cars to drive while they are unable to afford the simple things, like cable TV.
I’ve found over the years that hard work is a good thing and while other might criticize you for it, they’d love to have what you have because of it. However I wonder if I’ve taken it beyond the normal, to a level it should have never been taken to. In the end, all the hard work in the world want matter. When we die the playing field changes and that’s what I want to prepare my kids for because it’s that understanding that can get us through the hard times.
This is my blog for my kids to express my thoughts and concerns about all the things life will throw at you and to remember that this is just a game, no one gets out alive.
