This morning, while traveling to a meeting, listening to the program Lalo Mir and Maju Lozano in FM100 (Lalo assumed), where the slogan of the day was that listeners call in to radio telling what you were jealous when they were kids.
usually quiet handling, managing and enjoying their time having fun with what I hear, so round trip, almost hear the entire program.
Following the slogan of the program, listeners were communicating by phone and e-mail, telling their stories of kids.
Many were the envy of each, from envy the rich blonde, to envy a pair of sneakers for the brand of the three strips.
All these comments made my mind travel to my childhood and look what I envied as a child.
I could not find envy in my childhood. It's not because I had it all. Our family was a working family, where Dad worked at Federal Soap from 6:00 to 18:00 Monday to Monday with an open time to time. And mom worked at home raising us and making us grow d ela best way I could or knew.
needs not passed, but we could not give everyone. We enjoyed what and we had fun with simple things.
I was lucky to be with teachers who were very helpful in those early years and I remember with great love: Isabel Iglesias, Haydee Magnani, Furlan and Maria Lanza Rene Leon. All School No. 13, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, of Villa Madero.
Perhaps those early years, the excellent co-grade, also good friends made the block did not feel envy. We shared
how much or little we had, toys, figurines, games. In the village played with toy cars racing plastic putty or figurines, or poisonous stain. Even we would assemble the cars with ball bearings, or we'd go biking.
Envy?
so jealous we could have if we had it all?
We had siblings, friends and peers. And we were all one.
most do not enjoy what we have instead of envying that is what we have.
Is this society that makes us think we need what we have?
I was always grateful for everything that life gave me, and I still am.
enjoy every second.
think that when that moment of last breath I'm sure not going to want to change anything about the experience. Even the bad times, that if any, hard.
As John Lennon once said: "Life is that which happens while we take care of something else."
