"Ignore the awful times and concentrate on the good ones"

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."- Ashley smith

Since I was a toddler, I've always enjoyed reading, however, I wasn't the type of child who read every book I could reach. I wasn't like Matilda from Roald Dahl's book, yet, last year I realized I really liked non-fiction books, especially those who talk about the future, such as utopian and dystopian novels. Through his life, Billy Pilgrim has encountered a rather interesting source of life, the so-called Trafalmadorians, who inhabit the Trafalmadore planet. As every different civilization they differ from us in various ways, such as their perspectives on life’s aspects and their anatomy.

Life is Life. It can be lived in many different ways, in different manners, but it will always be life. You can enjoy its every aspect and receive nourishment from the first day of life, or throw it aside and let life die. I believe, we humans choose our destiny, our choices makes us who we are. Haven’t you ever wondered what would have happened if you hadn’t done something when you were smaller, or what if you had done this other thing? We all reach a destiny, however, we all take different paths to reach it. The Trafalmadorians think that we have a destiny with a predestined route we cannot vary, we have our choices already make and the only thing left for us to do, is to enjoy life. “On other days we have wars as horrible as any you’ve ever seen or heard about. There isn’t anything we can do about them, so we simply don't look at them. We ignore them. We spend eternity looking at the pleasant moments”
