The Spice of Life

Carlos Mora Vanegas

We were given the opportunity to live, to experience this physical world, imbued in everything that he holds, but also to learn to enjoy it more when we know the time of our departure.

We take advantage of the minutes, hours, years and optimize all that power that God has given us, give way to our thoughts, creativity and initiative in all that we favor in our growth, proper use of our time that we generate balance, happiness, harmony and much-longs, as is love.

Someone wrote about how to enjoy life, that you can live in three ways ...

The form below ... where your passions and weaknesses strung you ... anger ... hatred ... jealousy ... here are a slave of the senses ... the pleasure ... of the emotions of others ... a slave of the day and night ... do not know where you are going ... this is the form of a slave ...

The second is the form of apprentice ... where you decide who you know where look who you are ... where do you order to know your reason for being ... to go beyond your limitations ... Here recognize the need to go beyond the ego ... Here you need to be brave and leave behind the old, you've cultivated for thousands of years ... and dare to be a real human being ... brand new ...

The third form of life is the hardest, because that is how the waking man ... and very few know what the light ... to awaken you need to have proven that you really want to be new ... and has not been easy ... you climbed many mountains ... without any recognition ... have given it all without any recognition you have given your life ... no appreciation ... and only when you learn to give everything without expecting anything ... At that moment comes the light ...

In elsabordelavida.blog.dada.net Andres Prieto told us that to know life ... you just have to live life is to live ... life is not an object, life is a process. Life is a nectar that we must learn to enjoy ... There is no way of knowing what life is more than living, being alive, flowing, tasting everything with her. If you seek the meaning of life in any dogma, in a given

philosophy, theology, rest assured that you will lose in fights and

intellectual discord .... the intellect can not recognize what is life ...

The intellect can not know the taste of life and its meaning. Life is not waiting for you anywhere, life is something that happens to you is alive and shows you the mysteries of being alive.

Life is not in the future as a goal to achieve beam is here and now, at this very moment, your breathing, your blood circulation in the beating of your heart. Whatever you are is your life ... if you start looking elsewhere meanings, you will miss the opportunity to know the taste of life.

The fact that everyone in the measure that has been fully identified with what it represents an opportunity to live, to be fully identified with that chance, to take advantage while we can be, you know it taste, without giving effect to undermine all that energy capabilities of enthusiasm, the manifestation of feelings, emotions in all their capacities to generate happiness, authenticity. Avoid at all costs, dependency, alienation interference manipulation impair the joy intense flavor than our living. Tomorrow may be too late and we really do not know if in that morning.

Personally my return from a coma for 9 days, I am reminded of some facts in which he believed to be a dream and I stressed the importance of playing my role in my growth feature strongly, taking advantage of the time, bearing in mind, as happened to me, not knowing when the call and can be definitive, as I am to me again.

Once returned to the physical world, my perception of life has changed dramatically and I identify with everything that I generates happiness, which gives me the peace that really dwell time is used extensively in support of my growth and not to affect anyone on what they should do.

Just do not care much cause dependence that undermines the optimal use of the capabilities that must play freely and avoid that which emphasizes both the Eastern teachings to manifest negative karma (law of cause and effect), if it really exists, as I I remember and I do see one mistakes.

We suggest the reader to see feature The taste of the life of Politiki Kouzina, (2003) in which the story is based, mostly, in fact.

The film, shot in Athens and Istanbul, was released in Greece on October 24, 2003 a record breaking box office with over 65,000 spectators, although it only projected in 41 theaters around the country. In its second week increased the percentage of box office record by 53%. Billed as the Mediterranean replica Like Water for Chocolate, the film has slipped into the U.S. list of blockbusters such as Master and Commander or Finding Nemo, to stay at number one at the box office in Greece for seven consecutive weeks.

The flavor of life surpassed the 1,200,000 spectators and has dazzled audiences of all ages in a way unknown to the cinema in Greece. He has participated in the Official Selection Tribeca Film Festival (New York) and has been honored with 8 awards at the National Film Festival in Greece and the Audience Award at the International Film Festival of Thessaloniki. Its projection in the latest edition of the SEMINCI (Valladolid), within the section "Meeting Point", received a warm welcome.

It is a story about a young Greek (Fanis) raised in Istanbul, whose grandfather, a culinary philosopher and mentor, teaches him that both food and life require a pinch of salt to give a touch of flavor that both require. Over time Fanis becomes an excellent cook and uses his cooking skills to spice up the lives of those around him. 35 years later leaves Athens and returned to his native Istanbul to reunite with his grandfather and his first love, a return journey only to realize that you forgot to give that touch of spice to your life ... As he said his uncle ... "There are two types of travelers in life, those who leave and those who return, the first look at the map, the second look in the mirror ...? Now it is time for our hero take a look at his own mirror.
