Life

You know those times when you get the feeling “how on earth did I got here?” Those moments can be the best ones. When the adrenaline pumps through out your body and it feels a bit exciting in the stomach. I´ve felt that feeling so many times the last one and a half year and the happiness that has given me is not describable. This morning I went up far before the sunrise just to take a run in the dark streets of a small township in northern South Africa to see the sunrise, from a place that breathed optimistic poverty and it was so beautiful. At six o’clock I was in full suit ready to say farewell to a human who passed away far to early. The same woman to who I gave some of the most beautiful words that left my lips to, when someone told me to pray for her without warning. How on earth did I even get here?

The emotions boils within you and the choice between laugh and cry feel like the only one you have. But they are quite magical, the emotions within you, the feeling of “how on earth did I got here” and the fact that you just received new perspectives on life. It can be so awful and so amazing, the perspectives. And I think that we always have a choice wheatear we see them as awful or amazing. Even the most terrible perspectives can we see as sources of inspiration to change.

The old lady we lived at last week was a wonderful person. She gave me that inspiration of changing. She told us about all the robberies the pensioners experience in South Africa; her experience and especially her aunt’s newly experience. How two men had captured her on the street and put her in a car. How the corrupted women at the bank had changed the check from 3000 euro (translated currency) to 2800 because that was her asset. How they finally released her 700 km away from her home without any money or phone. And how she were trying to say to the police that they must help her to catch the thieves, responded every time with the same corrupted negative answer.

My first reaction is furious, frustration and hate over how evil some people can be. But I realise quite quickly that we don´t solve this terrible problems with furious, frustration and hate. In the long race it inspires me to bomb every person I meet whit love, understanding and humble that we create peace together. I don´t believe that it exist evil people. There are only bad actions that are a result by either lack of money, education or what I think is most common, love.

We are all quite social beings and we all love when someone gives us attention and love, we get happier, more confidants and more willing to help one another. Imagine how many unnecessary conflicts and problems we could avoid if you and I started to treat everyone we meet, as we want others to treat us. We don´t need to satisfy ourselves with treating our best friends with love, we will do that anyway. Can we treat the poor woman that always heard she is to fat or the drug-addicted guy who maybe lost his parents, with the same love, can we do that, it will not take long until we live in a world that is magic wherever you are, wherever you come from and no matter what gender you or your partner have. Let´s catch that world.

Due to the worlds worst internet connection I can´t give you some pictures..
Have an amazing day, catch life and make someone happy 🙂
