Can we live in truth?

What people really need is Truth in this world to make it better. Without worrying about throng’s life (referring to that people have greed illness and being with them is like to be ill as well). Truth is consciousness, rightfulness, intrinsic (me and I), satisfaction, goodness (with me, thus, with others), safety, certainty, courage and bravery, maybe a god’s way to live.

In this world people’s greed and ignorance is increasing everyday but their social climbing is not safe of what those people really want. Greed is next to uncertainty, but what is this greed and uncertainty about? What do people want? Is it money? Do they want money? Or what are they afraid of? Or it is something else. People’s ignorance makes them think that money shall safe them in this world but about what! Actually, today, people’s greed is worse, in terms of material things. This is destroying this world. We can see that.

Having the “power” of many people who has faith and beliefs on, religions, especially Catholic Church was bleed into the wealth of the world and it was a high social class which could change people’s life, mainly of poor people who do not know their truth, in those times and even today. Chaucer thought that it was not the way on being in truth and peace. Believe in god was good, but what really God wanted or wants is the goodness and no the wealth and convenience of the world. Thinking about the worse tragedies of the world, facts show that Catholic Church has committed most of them. Is it goodness?

In every moment I felt very good reading this poem. Even it corroborates my opinion about life. Belong a religious does not make you more generous or better. Your thoughts, feelings, and acts must be safe, healthy and fear with you and, thus with others. If you are in calm with your self and with the world (no talking only about people) god and the truth are going to deliver you from this hell.

Epic Poem... Epic life



An epic poem talks about heroes and their incredible adventures in the past, such as Beowulf, Odyssey and the Iliad, Don Quijote de la Mancha, and so on. This is a long narrative that tries to show us what really happened in the past, as telling us about history. However, Are they (the stories) real? It is not sure that they are facts of History neither if they are, but they can give us some details that can tell a lot about those times, about what could happen. If we read a epic poem such as Beowulf, firstly, it is going to be very complex, then you can comprehend a little bit more about what happens in this story. Perhaps, it could be so fictional and incredible, although it is giving you a lot of information about what people did in those times. This sort of story was made by a human. Humans have imagination. Humans can intrerpret things as anything else. Nevertheless, humans, as us, can write / create things - as epic poem- connected to our world.





Literature = Expression


One of the most amazing human beings’ creations has been, through times, the Literature. Humans are sociable; we need to share with other humans our thoughts, feelings, and believes. Therefore, having language to pass the culture over each other, humans can express themselves through generations. Literature is not only written language, as we can think. According with this “Literature is the expression of culture using language to express it, such as writing, speaking and listening”(Students’ definition) I stick the language of blinds, mutes, and deaf (body languages in general), because each of us express ourselves as we can, but we express anyway. On the other hand, what we really need is the way how we read the language or how we interpret something said. Reading literature is the most difficult part of language’s expression. Is completely clear what we are telling? Do people understand our messages as we send them? To be a good interpret of literature, first of all, we should read a lot and, at the same time, we do form an open-mind to understand more our people/culture/world.
