Heroes



 "Hero" is commum word betwen any kind of community. No matter the country, the city and the culture, always there is a hero. Our childrem watch, hear and read about heroes. in the cartoons they get special powers, like to fly, to manipulate fire, water. They have a poweful vision, and get unlimited strenght. there are another kind of Hero, the Super-Stars (singers, actors, atleths) these are who has impressive skills, they`re above the average.
 
Everybory when child dreamed to be a hero, to be special and save the world, yes, i did too. since  the first time we figured out the bad things that happen in the world, like murderers end death, we want to make the diference and save the World. But as soon as you reach the adault age we give up.

why? what does the life experience change in our point of view?

Actually, the life experience brings us a lot of changes. Changes in our mind, bory and behavior. when we are child we don`t know how to make diference betwen the real and the fiction. We just belive. And if the spiderman can save the day, i can do it too.

But the life teachs us that our heroes were pure fake, fiction. we see people killing, people dying, starving childrem begging for food. Then  we ask ourself: where is the heroes? and you can only hear the silence and a awkward feeling. Then you realize that heroes are fiction, just don`t exist. Wow, what shock! If they can not save the world, could i do something? definetly not, we say. the life shows us that our heroes die by overdose. "Our heroes are fakes or addicteds".

the Only person that serves as a model for us is Jesus. He`s the ideal model, the perfect exemple for imitation. He is what he is caz He does more than to manipulate the fire and water, He created both. His vision is more than powerful, He sees everything. He has much more than unlimited strenght, He is the strenght. He is not a fiction, He is real. He`s not a creation, He is the Creator. The Creator is not addicted, He heal the addctions. The Creator never disappont the creation.

If we get Jesus as a model, certantly we`ll make the diference. If we try to be like Him, to live like He lived, we`re going to be heroes as well. That`s the way we can save the world. 

Always that you behold something wrong, and ask: where is the hero? He will be there, sure, the real hero will be there, Jesus Christ.

Who is your hero? Who is your model?

The Promised land

Barack Obama`s election as America's first black president has infused fresh dreams in the world. People across the world stayed up all night or woke early to watch Obama to make history. His victory has inserted a overwhelming feeling of hope in the America. Nelson Mandela said "Your victory has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to change the world for a better place", in a letter of congratulations to Obama. Many people in the USA and in the world expressed satisfaction.

The world is excited about Obama, and the base of the excitation is the hope of a better world. Hope of change, peace, iquality and security. Thinking about it, I asked myself: should we expect it? Can Obama change the World or at least the USA for a better place?

I really like obama. He`s intelligent, young and wise. His eager vision of the future and his magic words "Yes We Can" inspire me. But when we ta
lk about the social condition of a country or of the world, we need to figure out the exist political systems that controls everything. I won`t waste time defining a political system, but i`m going to describe some: Democracy (the current political system in the most of the countries ), Socialism, Anarchism, Monarchy and Feudalism. If you make a research about the history of the political systems, you`ll realize the anyone of them brought peace, iquality and security. All of them failed. the humanity always suffered one of this problems, So, the question isn`t if Obama can change the world. The question is: Can the democracy bring peace and iquality?

My answer is "not really", because the guide of any kind of political systems is the human being. The man commit mistakes, is selfish and bad. No matter how many good people you know, all of them are sinners and faultys. Obama/democracy cant` make the promised land, because the only political system that works out is the "Theocracy". God as the Governor. when God is the Governor the promised land happens. When God is the hope the change happens. when the world to elect God as the Governor everything will be perfect, the promised land will be our home. And I belive "we are the ones" who will get there.
