Human life

If you think god enough, human life has all the odds to not occur. Nevertheless, we keep challenging the universe every time we breathe.  

Going deeper, the world as it is was not shaped to have us. But, we insist on thinking that we are the supremacist race in this gigantic collection of atoms made up of smaller particles like protons and neutrons.

Even with all this complexity we still think that the universe's purpose is to serve us. We should be humble as the water. Actually, water is far more important than us in this equivalence. At least it can live without us.

So, when you think that you are the center of the universe, re-think. You are not. Grab yourself to this weak line called life and respect how easy is to lose it.

Turning point

When you reach the end of the line. When you are on the edge of a cliff, there is no turning back. You got there. You are there. You feel the pain.

Its one fear that freezes your soul, you know that you made it and you have to decide. Be there for to rest of your life watching and re-watching all the mistakes that had taken you, or you jump the cliff.

Close your eyes and believe. Believe that there must be some kind of way outta there. All that confusion that was consuming your soul now is a relief.

Who is she?

It was in 2006 when a first met her. I was working for a company as a finance manager and my assistant resigned. The firm started a selective process for the position and one of the candidates was her.

My first thought about her was that she would be too young for the position. I needed someone well organized, disciplined and responsible. In the interview, I couldn't see any of these characteristics. She could be a headache for me.

However, the company's owner selected her. I told him that maybe this could be a mistake but he asked me the be a little patient and to coach her.

I had a pleasant surprise when she began to work. She was intelligent with a fast pace of learning new things and better, she was extremely responsible. All that I had to do was ask her for some work and a few minutes later it had been done. When she had some doubt about something, she was always open to learning and listening.

One of the things that I took from this experience was to never judge someone just by their age or lack of experience or something that could indicate some kind of prejudice.

I learned that our first thought must be always to believe in people, and bet that if we provide a little push, they can do whatever they wish.

I am not feeling comfortable here.

Charles Dickens - Great Expectations - Chapter fourteen

As the time passes, Pip becomes an adolescent. He hates having to work with Joe and is always worried about what Estella would think if he was caught working on Joe's forge.

"What I dreaded was, that in some unlucky hour I, being at my grimiest and commonest, should lift up my eyes and see Estella looking in at one of the wooden windows of the forge. I was haunted by the fear that she would, sooner or later, find me out, with a black face and hands, doing the coarsest part of my work, and would exult over me and despise me."

However, he never said anything about this feeling for Joe.

"I am glad to know that I never breathed a murmur to Joe while my indentures lasted. It is about the only thing I am glad to know of myself in that connection."

Chapter 14 confirms that all of his past beliefs are falling apart.

"Home had never been a very pleasant place to me, because of my sister’s temper. But, Joe had sanctified it, and I had believed in it. I had believed in the best parlor as a most elegant saloon; I had believed in the front door, as a mysterious portal of the Temple of State whose solemn opening was attended with a sacrifice of roast fowls; I had believed in the kitchen as a chaste though not magnificent apartment; I had believed in the forge as the glowing road to manhood and independence. Within a single year, all this was changed. Now, it was all coarse and common, and I would not have had Miss Havisham and Estella see it on any account"

See you on chapter fifteen.

Charles Dickens - Great Expectations - Chapter thirteen

As she had demanded in chapter 12, Joe goes with Pip meet Ms. Havisham. It's the first time, since the beginning of the book, that Pip starts mocking and diminishing Joe. So far, Joe was some kind of role model for him, his best friend, and someone that he could always consider. During all the chapter, Pip speaks about Joe's clothes, his manners, his life, and perspectives with disdain.

With Joe and Pip, Ms. Joe heads to the town. There, she stays at Mr. Pumblechook's house, awaiting they come back from the meeting.
Estella welcomes Joe and Pip at the gate and leads them to Ms. Havisham. All them, in the end, agree with the new function for Pip, apprenticeship.

Pip is worried about what Estella would be thinking about him and Joe. He seems ashamed of his family and his background. Joe and Pip leave Ms. Havisham's house and go back to Ms. Joe.
Arriving there, Pip shows your deeply bad feelings about Mr. Pumblechook and his actions. Also, Pip is surly and angry, keenly disappointed by this turn in his life.

"Finally, I remember that when I got into my little bedroom I was truly wretched, and had a strong conviction on me that I should never like Joe’s trade. I had liked it once, but once was not now"

See you on chapter fourteen.

It seems that everything is falling apart.
