Humans being Humans

 Hello,

The world news aren't very hopeful: a war in Europe, an earthquake in the East, fires in Chile, protests in Peru and a possible war between Asia and North America. I was reading that people who have depression have something called the cognitive triad, two of its characteristics is that we see things in a negative way and believe that there is no future, how difficult it is for me to see something positive among so many tragic news. I have noticed that I perceive the world differently, I feel that I am too empathic and sensitive, to explain it somehow, when the Amazon fires occurred 4 years ago, I was sick for three weeks, I felt too much sadness and pain because I knew that many plants and animals were dying, so all this kind of news makes me have many questions about human nature and I inevitably come to the conclusion that human beings are bad, there will always be war because some group of humans will always want to rule the other. The only thing left is to hope that the least amount of innocent lives are harmed.

I have finished the book Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls, I loved the book because it lets you know about prominent women throughout history in different professional fields, I think it is clear to everyone that history is told through their eyes of men, that means that 95% of the time they will talk about the great achievements and discoveries made by men. This book is a great gift for the girls or women you love.

All the stories are fascinating and admirable, I will talk particularly about Rachel Carson, a marine biologist and environmentalist, she wrote Silent Spring in which she talked about the effect of pesticides on the environment; Rachel has inspired many to join the environmental movement and protect all species. Silent Spring is part of the most important science books. At some point in my life I read about her and I am definitely going to read her book, it is incredible how one person can change the history of the world for the better. She is one of the scientists I admire.

I had forgotten to tell you that my ex came looking for me again and was even hanging around my social networks, however, I made it quite clear to him that I no longer wanted him to call me or look for me anymore, I think that we must be a good ex and be consistent with the things that we did or said in the relationship, we can't go through life treating people badly and pretend that nothing has happened and you can't want to force a friendship relationship either, the healthiest thing that can happen is to walk away.

I'm starting the series that is currently causing a lot of hype, The last of us.
