Simpler.

Technology has, one way or another, been swallowing most of us (humans) step by step under a proposal of easing things out and somehow it has been taking us away from the path of thinking for ourselves, of striving, of socializing in person, of valuing certain important things beyond the technology itself.

Things used to be different in a not too distant past.


Weekend engagement week 284. Topics 2 and 3.


Looking a bit in hindsight towards the years of my childhood, I realize that everything was simpler then, for both children and adults. People used to have chats and enjoy the company of each other without staring at some phone in their hands, they sat in the parks, they admired and enjoyed nature, they went to beaches and rivers free of selfies that would update their state at the moment.

I loved rivers when I was a child and had a lot of fun there with my friends, there was a river very close to my house where we used to go very often.
Growing up in the countryside was a very good thing for me as a child, there was always something nice, pure, natural and fun to do, and that's what I miss the most from that time, all the fun, relationships, pureness, Interactions, big hero dreams, a family that sat at the table for dinner.

And all that memories are here inside me, even when there was no selfies to document them or social networks to hang them up, the enjoyment is there intact.



In home(The chat).

Some years ago, when he was still alive, my brother and I sat in a bar for a chat while having a couple of beers.
He was in love with a girl from Venezuela, where he was working, everyone knew that but him, he had doubts, he said he had put quite an effort to get where he was, that he had sacrificed moments to live when dedicated to study and his thoughts were he had to live a bit before getting into that kind of relationship. He said to me this...

Brother, I want to be like you, enjoy life, be with girls here and there, have some fun.

Being with girls here and there don't bring happiness or enjoyment my brother - I said-. Yes, I've had some fun out of it but at the end of the day it only brings emptiness and loneliness.

Love is hard sometimes, maybe most of the times, but it's also a privilege we all don't get to have.
Finding true love in a person in which you find a friend, a partner, a good company, someone you can laugh and cry with, someone who's supportive and providing, someone to be your home at your home,that, my brother you can't find in polygamy, that's probably found once in a lifetime if one's privileged enough to find it and smart and strong enough to take care of and preserve it for good.

So, after I tasted monogamy out of true love, even when made mistakes (not polygamy) and was a fool unable to preserve it, I have to say I prefer it over polygamy, cause that was the only time * felt complete, in peace...in home.

Yes, everything used to be simpler. Childhood is the best time of life, and I agree with you—I am in favor of monogamy.

It's a good choice. Thanks
