Sword Art Online Volume 1: Aincrad; Reki Kawahara (wherein Kirito & Asuna once had a supernatural/incredible bond/connection in the heat of battle) *here's to hoping that we get to see/read this phenomenon again in the future*
“Man is nothing but that which he
makes of himself” J. P. Sartre.
Many times, I have thought about my
fellow men . l think human beings have
a huge responsibility on their shoulders
while we are living in this world and we are
totally responsible of ourselves. But what is
happening to us? We are living in a world
that is full of madness, murder, racism,
rapists, poverty, wars and slavery. The
people who believe in God say all those
things that are happening in the world are
the devil´s fault. But I don´t believe that. We
see our fellow men with scorn and we don´t
feel the need to help other human beings.
I think we have to be able to be better. But
which are the responsibilities of a human
being? How can we become better? Why
is the human being totally responsible of
himself? So, next, I will give my personal
opinion answering those three questions.
Human beings have two responsibilities: 1)
the development and understanding of his
emotional capacities through experience,
which is subject to his way of living, as an
individual subject. 2) At the same time,
human beings have to think in the common
good for his fellow men. In my personal
opinion, that is the way to become an
excellent human being because, if we start
to change our thoughts, we will be able to
transform into a successful society.
If we give our maximum effort, we will be
able to be better. l think it depends on
how much we want to improve ourselves
as human beings and how well we want
to envision our life in society. l think to be
better, it is necessary the development
of emotions especially love, respect and
solidarity. If we achieved this, we will be
able to love our fellow men as much as we
could imagine and we would feel the need
to help others.
I have talked about the development of
all those emotions because I think from a
perspective without God, human beings
have to be totally responsible of themselves.
Therefore, if we leave the metaphysical out
of this equation, we can´t blame God or
the Devil for our negative emotions, bad
decisions and inappropriate behaviors. For
that reason, we need to be careful with our
choices. We must create a deep conscience,
finding the differences between the positive
and negative things and always choosing
emotions that can give us benefits for our
fellow men. All this gives us an immense
responsibility.
In conclusion, I can say that we need to
feel the needs of others beings and start
thinking what decisions are more important
for our development as a society. We have
to create a world without madness, murder,
racism, rapists, poverty, wars and slavery
and all the things that are destroying us. We
have to stop all the violence in the world. We
need to finish with all sadness and hunger.
We need more smiles happiness charity
and more. The solution for me is to be able
to develop our emotions in a correct way
with a positive sense.
Breathing the pages of an old book is to feel
the wonder of the world that it is offering
us. Reading is a universal right that only a
few of us use.
Imagine that in the world we
are a few adventurers who dare to travel
through worlds the unique and unknown
worlds in our imagination. But I have to tell
you my dear reader, literature not is only
used by your imagination. Reading is also
really necessary for my development as an
artist, so I will explain the importance of
reading for an artist in 3 points of view; from
learning, creative development and Art.
“If who reads much and walks much sees
much and knows much.” 1605 - Miguel
de Cervantes – El Hidalgo Don Quijote
de la Mancha. Learning is one of the most
wonderful things that have happened to
me in my life. In my opinion, learning is one
of the most important things in our lives
because through it we must learn about
other cultures and customs and improve
our general knowledge. We can make use
of all we read to improve as an artist. It is a
personal satisfaction also. But it is important
to learn because we feel the need and the
passion to learn.
In my development as a musician, literature
has always helped me. If I want to become
an excellent musician, I will be surprisingly
creative thanks to all the books that I have
read and the stories in them. It has really
helped me to develop my creative process
because, as a musician, I need a lot of
imagination to make a composition. I think
all creative process of art needs to be
combined with literature because through
literature you develop your imagination
and your creative process.
In my humble opinion, literature is an art.
A beautiful art which a writer transmits
in paper all his emotions and feelings by
telling them in a thousand different ways.
Writing is one of the most beautiful arts.
Creating literature involves making use of
your creative and intellectual faculties. It is
a creative process too. For those reasons
I have always looked up to my favorites
writers like Dostoyevski, Camus, Sartre,
Cervantes, etc.
In conclusion, I can say reading is really
important to become a better artist. You
should create the habit of reading if you
want to be an excellent artist, it is extremely
important to have enough imagination to
create amazing pieces of art and literature
can complement any creative process.
Have you ever heard the phrase: throw me
to the wolves and I will be leading the pack?
If you haven’t heard that, let me tell you, the
wolf is one of the animals that has the most
strengths, it is loyal and protective, as well
as resistant. For this reason I chose the wolf
to write about because, despite of being
alone and taking a different path from their
pack, the lone wolves are the most willing
and end dominating the pack, so I identify
with wolves for their great will power.
The strongest wolves are called alphas,
because they help everyone in their pack.
And this is the reason why I have chosen it,
since I feel identified, “to do good, without
looking at whom.” I always try to help others
who are in trouble because when I needed
help, nobody gave me a helping hand. It’s a
great way to make a change.
Loyalty is a very important value in our lives
if we want to leave a positive mark on it and
on the people we love. It means that I will
not betray my friends, that I will always seek
the best for them. The trust that they place
in me, makes our relationships grow and
become strong. It is at the same time a type
of protection. They always will have support
from me.
Resistance is an important aspect, because
despite all the problems I have faced, I have
known how to stay firm and fulfill my goals.
I have never backed off and I am persistent.
Sometimes I have a strong character.
Problems or pain change people and they
form a new person but there is a phrase that
says: “do not become the one who hurt
you.” Being and improving yourself makes
you an honorable person.
In my opinion, I like wolves. I see them as
strong and confident of themselves, always
alert, taking care of each other with courage.
They are an example for me to follow.
