A man was riding on his horse and his dog was following them. The weather was cloudy, and getting darker.

Suddenly, a loud thunder stroked and killed the man, his horse, and dog.

The man didn’t notice that he died and continued riding with his two animals. The dark sky had turned into a beautiful blue one and stunning hills were along their way.

They all were getting tired and thirsty. On the way, he saw a huge gold-gated entrance with a golden floor and a beautiful fountain in the middle.

He looked at the guard and asked: “What is this beautiful place?”

The guard replied: “It’s heaven.”

He said: “Oh thank God, we are thirsty and tired.”

The guard said: “You can get in and drink water but I am very sorry, your dog and horse aren’t allowed to enter.”

COVID-19, vaccination and the progress of the global healthcare system · Global Voices

Of greatest importance is the age distribution associated with high incomes—they have a small proportion of youngsters in their populations, ranging in Table 1 from 17-25 per cent, and a large number of older folk over 65 years of age, ranging here from 19 per cent to 29 per cent. In addition, these rich nations have a low level of people per individual households (ranging 2-2.4), a high proportion of people living in cities and very high levels of obesity. There is every reason to believe that these elements are causally associated and have led to the high levels of rich-nation Covidity.

Con esperanza, a quienes han olvidado vivir… Y sí, la muerte aparece cuando la vida pierde sentido

Y así, la vida se va, como el suspiro de una primavera que se añora tanto o la lluvia de un verano que despierta perfumes entre las cortezas, los helechos y las flores de un bosque encantado. Se marcha y no vuelve más, aunque se le extrañe y se le llore. Y así, llega un momento en que la mañana se vuelve tarde o noche, y el día entero se consume sin más posibilidades. No se repite, a pesar de que existan horas de apariencia idéntica, porque la vida es viajerra incansable que anda de una estación a otra. Y así, casi sin darnos cuenta, una mañana despertamos y, al descubrir nuestro semblante en el espejo, estrmecemos sin consuelo y pensamos que…

Pessoa, Literatura es Anagnórisis

Las cosas que irritaban son las son las que hoy me hacen sonreír. La mirada del hombre cotidiano. Quiero creer que, muchas veces, los más inteligentes de entre ellos entrevén nuestra superioridad; y entonces sonríen superiormente para ocultar que la entrevén.
