ENTRY 30- GIVING LIFE

Language 4 Entry Nª30

Giving life

Giving life is one of the most important things a person can do in this world.
God is the only Creator, who gave us life. Women are the ones who can give birth a new life, a baby, a new person, a human being. Once or twice in our life we happen to meet marvellous people, who seem to be angels, who are patient, brave, people who can be our friends, people we can trust.
But women and men can give life to new things in this world.
Poets can give birth to new creations, with rhythm and rhyme. Like Olegario V. Andrade, Sylvia Plath just to mention some of them.
Writers build up stories creating characters who reflect our passions, sins, our world. Such as Stevenson, Hemmingway, Poe or Sabato. Many writers, when they publish their books, they say the book is their latest son.
Musicians have the most beautiful task to create melodies and songs. Our soul is in a peaceful world when we listen compositions by Mozart, Beetoven or Tchaikovsky .
It is magic when song composers write lyrics and with a musical instrument they give life to it. You can listen to them for hours, trying to understand Joan Manuel Serrat, John Lennon or Electric Light Orchestra the lyrics and music of their album Time.
Many chefs have recipes of their own. They have brought into existence delicious dishes in the different countries. Adding a particular characteristic to their tradition.
Artists of the world have given birth to paintings and sculptures which made them immortal, just think of Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Lola Mora or Picasso. Their work, their creations are shown inside cathedrals, in an important square, in a museum. Before them, there was no Mona Lisa, no Last Supper, no Nereidas, no Guernica at all.
Giving life does not mean only giving birth to a child. We can create many things coming from our imagination. As I am creating this entry out of my imagination and general culture for the Language class. It is very interesting to look for ideas in our mind, just to produce a piece of writing different from the others, with a different perspective, a different point of view.
New ideas that changed the course of history, new clothes and colours that changed fashion. Thanks to this capacity of human beings to give life in different forms of expression, the world has changed, geographically, we can say because of someone’s ideas the course of a river has been deviated, an artificial lake has been built. Historically in the sense that someone’s ideas influenced on economy, society and politics that originated some happy events but also violence, such as the wars.
The same happened with religion, there were powerful inspired people who have marked certain tendencies on people’s beliefs.
May God help intelligent, powerful people to create beautiful, useful things and ideas for the benefit of all human beings and not for their destruction.
