The Lie
Convinced that they belong to eternity, we spend every day of our existence in the greatest of lies, avoiding the most obvious lessons. Each of the stars of heaven, every wave of the sea, every breath of wind is turning off fund since its first appearance. Nothing in this world belongs to itself forever.
Why should we be an exception to this strict rule?
So we live our days shining in what we consider our eternity and instead is merely a passage, which considered in the perspective of years, it is also be quite short.
Looking at the sky on a clear night, we can see many stars shine. Well, the majority of what the eye can see is actually a big lie, because those same lights that shine come to our eyes with a delay of thousands of years, giving us the illusion of something that is shining in that 'moment, but with high probability that it was already off for many centuries.
Perhaps it is being human can not accept that "our all" end, blinded by a pride so great as senseless, but is in fact an 'inescapable reality. We are born with a single point of course. Our purpose.
This is the thread that has united all living beings of every age and every caste. This is perhaps the only point of real justice in which ordinary people and famous people, meet to establish as fact that everything in life, will remain only an episode, the beating of butterfly wings.

Horace, Roman poet, 65 BC in his Odes, addressing a girl who wants to know the future, replied:
- not weary in the search for answers about tomorrow, but accept your fate and live each day as if it were your last.
Man is at the mercy of events he can not control and crashed into painful situations are just like the waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea breaking on rocks in winter
no other choice then but to enjoy life in fullest possible way and not be weary for the future. Always
Horace, speaking of freedom, writes the phrase
"Who lives in fear will never be free."
In these words, synthetic and at the same time genial gathers the essence of all that man can come to consider about their own existence. Living with the fear of the end can make us slaves.
Death is a chapter inevitably linked to our existence, the same day we are born is written in the book of fate also the date of our order that we can reasonably estimate a period in most cases not even come close to 100 years.
is why, in order not to waste this short passage we have, this great and unique opportunity that was given to us, we must try to live free from fear, from every anxiety and from any bustle.
