Moments worth living

Some moments are important, and, above all, amazing. Our life wouldn’t be so fantastic if we couldn’t have different experiences, like meet new friends and do something in the day to help other people without expect a benefit because of that.
For me, a worth living moment is a moment that you feel good and relax, or, in some cases, you feel excited and emotional. Just a sincere hug from someone you like is enough to make you much better.
I had a very good and unforgettable experience with my two best friends some time ago. We were swimming in the pool when started to rain. We run to get our things and put in a protect place. Then, just because we desired, we returned to the pool, to the rain, and started to sing a beautiful song of Rihana. This was, for sure, the most outstanding moment in my life and I will never forget. Because of that, moments worth living are spontaneous and so important.

Moments worth living

Juliana Silveira

Throughout our lives, we realize that some people are very important and become special and unforgettable, such as family and friends. Why these people are always at our side, we usually spend the best moments of our life with them. People like these bring us joy; good memories in the future and most importantly, share moments that are worth being lived.

These moments that are worth being lived are the ones we did not plan but we were surprised. Sometimes small gestures of our parents or our friends can bring us a great happiness, spending time next to people you like, makes us very well. At times, we even come to think of retreating from our objectives, but when we got going, we realized that it was good to have continued, it was worth risking!

When we worry about little things, we're wasting time, because we have to enjoy life, make every moment worthwhile, we have put the great moments and good things that happen in the first place. When we are passing through difficult times, our true friends who support us and show us that hard times also worthwhile to teach us not to repeat the same mistakes or to show that everything that happens has a good side and a justification.

"Being happy is to recognize that life is worth living, despite all the challenges, misunderstandings and periods of crisis." This phrase, Augusto Cury shows us that despite all the obstacles we encounter in our lives, we have to keep happy and enjoying the most of every moment because life is worth living!

Documentary "Voices from the List"

The documentary film "Voices from the list" talks about the people who Schindler saved during tha Holocaust (Second World War - 1939/1945). These people tell us how they survived and how was the concentration camps. We can understand very cleary about this war, about the germany's deshumanity and the jewish's suffering, because of the reporter's details.
Most of these people had their families murdered in the Holocaust, because of the concentration camps, gas chamber, diseases, violence and suicide. Some jews tried to hide of the Germany army in the furniture of their house, under the ground, in the drain, but most of them died trying to do that. They were supposed to be sended to the getto, to live in bad conditions, without privacy. During the day, the jews could go out side the getto to work for Germany companies. Schindler had one of this companies and made a lot of money. In the and of the war, he used most part of this money to bribe nazis and tried to save jews.
People in the documentary met Schindler because they were workers from his company. They tell us that Schindler was gentlemen, he liked women, to drink in paties, etc.
In our opinion, "Voices from the List" is very important to understand the real situation of the jewish people in the Second World War.

The science of love




Today, many people have stable loving relationships that last a lifetime. While others prefer to live without a stable loving commitment, and yes, with various partners, without achieve any relationship. But how to explain what keeps people together for so long time or why love ends in some cases ? We will try to explain.

According to Veja, to answer these and others questions, neuroscience (study of the nervous system, especially the anatomy and physiology of the brain) tries to understand the working mechanisms of loving. After a few scientists to study the behaviors of women who said they were in love and married women, reached the conclusion that the first group (in love), women felt happy and well-being in the presence of his beloved, and his critical judgments reduced with this presence. In the second group (married) women did not feel pleasure or well-being in the presence of their husbands, and their critical judgments became active with this presence. Other studies also showed that women in love are inadvertent to possible dangers when they are close to the beloved, to feel safe with them. This is because the mechanism of the tonsils (a kind of radar) is turned off in the presence of the beloved.
Some people think that love is universal and exists in everywhere, changing just the way when a long time passes, changing in accordance with the era. Most of specialists, according to Super Interessante, thinks that the love is a consequence of the discovery of the fire and the development of the whiting. Sincerely, we think that those facts could help for the communication and the approximation with people in the past and contributed for the relationships´s development.

In today´s world, in our opinion, men and women are in the same conditional in the society and are more free than in the past. This facts influence the way we love. But the love is older than we think.
