Unfair life situation

Dear readers, this post is a continuation of my first farm life experience, I believe that once you have read my writings, you will understand and agree that it was an unfair life situation, because the way of life that I and the other youths, who happened to live like me in the farms during those times was unfair, it was a way of life that to most of us today may seem archaic, unreal and to say the least unfair, and indeed it was really unfair to myself and to all those youths that ended up in a similar position as myself. But at the time when this happened it didn’t seem that bad to us, because we were so young when we started to work in the farms, therefore we were not aware then of the adverse influence that it could and would brink to us in the future, as we didn’t know then that we were in a disadvantaged situation and even our parents did not see how bad the situation could become to some of us later on, because they could not see how fast life was chancing, and anyhow even if they guessed that things were changing they didn’t know what else to do.

------------------------

The unfair situation

Now, this situation that I am talking about was most unfair to us because it affected only us in the farms, but not all the young citizens of this somewhat rich rural town, (Here rich rural town means only Genzano by comparison to other towns which surround it) because they would be living a better life in town. So as it happened then, we a portion of the young citizen of Genzano became caught in a disadvantaged position including myself, and this position would affect us very badly for the rest of our lives; but we didn’t know what else to do, and there was nothing that could be done either. The few exceptions who were not put at a disadvantaged position were those youths which their families were rich land owners, because it would always be an advantage for them to stay in the farms and learn their future trade and then use their farm knowledge in the future.

But for the rest of us young men who were working in small farms like myself, and which had no other opportunities in life but to continue the old tradition of farming, just because this same tradition of farming had been a way of life to the rural community of this agricultural town for centuries before us, and therefore, when I was young it was thought to be the only way to earn a fare and honest living, if you happened to own any land at all, so we had to be trained to be farmers in order to look after our own small farm when we would become older, but this training to us became a great disadvantage, because of the changes that followed.

Nobody could be blamed for putting us youths in such a position, which in the end would result for us in a disadvantaged position: because the very same way of life had served the same community so well for centuries, and they were not disadvantaged at all then. But nowadays because of the enormous change of the modern era, which has brought with it also changes in the value of work that any worker does, and for this reason we became greatly disadvantaged.

And as I have already mentioned above, I reckon and feel that it was really an unfair life situation to my personal self, and this I will continue to describe to you at length and in depth as I keep writing on, since the point that I want to make is to show you how I had to struggle and to suffer while I was living in the farm, and even later on in the future. In fact life for me was going to be much harder than I thought, since that way of life which I had lived in the farm had left me so far backward, because of isolation I even lacked in local general knowledge, and also in communication skills including all those nice things that a person does and says, in order to make that same person attractive to the rest of the community. So, this early disadvantaged way of life has affected me greatly for the rest of my life, and although I have tried to improve myself during my life, I have never been able to catch up with the rest of the world. So that, I feel it within me even now, as if I will never be completely satisfied with myself, because I think that I could have been better off if I had a different and better way of life when I was young to start with.

But since what’s been done is done, and one cannot go back and do it in a different way, I am/was stuck with it. Therefore, I had to put up with my backward way of life; and I had to accept that the only possible way that was left for me to earn a living for the rest of my life, had to be that I had to do hard physical work.

Now at the time when all this was happening, to the young people which used to live in this town’s farms, it all seemed normal to them, because even their forbears they all had lived this same way for centuries before us.

Also my forbears used to live in this town that I was born, and in which I had to live my youth just like them. But, most of my youth and I mean the most important years of my young life, at the time when a youth would like to try to find out the meanings of life, which would help him to learn how to deal with his life in the future, all those years were spent to live in our family farm and not in the town itself, and this did put me in a disadvantaged position from the very start, as I have already mentioned before, I ended up in an unfair life situation.

Was this my life destiny

Was this my life destiny?

Dear readers, in my last post I was talking about our destiny, so I wonder if we really have our own destiny, because I believe that we might have a sort of destiny, so let me tell you about my life or my destiny, I have written a few other things, but now let me go back to tell my story wondering about my own destiny, and why I had to live a hard life.

Therefore now I am going back to my life story, starting from the time when I had to live school and go to help in the farm, I was about eleven years old when I went to work in the farm; today you may find that at that age one is just too young to work, but in those times that was the way that most people accepted as being normal. I know that it was unfortunate for me just because I and a few other young men were going to be the last of this old way of life, so to speak.

So, let me tell you about my life.

My dear readers this is my life story, so I can tell the story of my life as many times as I want and the way I want to tell it, just because it is my own life story; some people may think that I might have copied my life story from somewhere else, but I can assure you that I have not and if it resembles somebody else story it is just a coincidence. You see, I am not copying it from anywhere or from anybody, because it is just my life story, and if it happens to be similar to another one of my life story, or to somebody else life story; does it really matter? You see I have only one life to live and if I want to be true to myself and the rest of the world I have to tell it just the way it is, so there is no ways that similarities can be completely avoided. So, let me start telling you, my farm life experience as I lived it.

-----------------------------------------------------------

MY FARM LIFE EXPERIENCE, 1

I would have liked to go straight to the point, and tell you all about my own personal life experience in the farm, which is the most important experience during my young life, and which I ought to tell you; since it is my first experience in the real world, and therefore the most important one, since it has affected me for the rest of my life adversely, because I was placed in a disadvantaged position. At the same time I cannot help to wonder how today people would like to find themselves in such a disadvantaged position as I was. So, I ask myself would they have enough positive thinking to overcome the hard life that is thrown at them, or would they just protest as it is usually done these days; I wonder what they would do. I know that life means to us whatever we want life to mean to us. I believe that we need to be positive during our life that is what we have to do. My own life is a very good example, as you can see, just because I have been positive during my life, today in my old age I am even able to write hubs in Hub pages in a language that is not my mother tongue, I hope you see what I mean?

Now that I have explained the position that I am in today, which is a sharp contrast to the ways I have been living when I was young, I believe that I have to describe to you first of all what the farms were like in those days, and how the farmers used to run them in a traditional manner at the time when I was young. And I want also to point out to you that, the farmers and their workers were then and are still nowadays the most important contributors of the welfare of this rural town of Genzano di Lucania.

Life can be very hard sometime

Today I always wonder when I see young people struggling, while they are really living in the middle of plenty, but I suppose they do not see it that way, so they want you to believe that they are living a hard life. Therefore then, I cast my mind back to the times when I was young and I wonder what is wrong with the youths today, why they do not see all the good things around them.

Having said that now let me tell you why life was harder when I was young, especially for those youths that like myself ended in a disadvantaged position when we were very young: not only we were in a disadvantaged position and working just to earn a living, but we were not appreciated from the rest of the community, only because we were not as good as the rest of the community in our communication skills, owing to the fact that we were living an isolated life in the farm, where communication skills are not taught and we didn’t ware flashy garments to show off, when we went to town and met the young town people, who seemed so clever well dressed and they knew everything that there was to know.

The reason that I have told you this is that, it explains better how I felt then and how I feel even now about my life in the farm in those days, and I hope that there is no misunderstanding that this was a hard and boring life, because I want to point out that my life experience in the farm has a very clear meaning to anybody that happens to read my life story.

But there is another side of this story, because what I have just said makes me reflect about what the elders of my time were telling me, which was in effect that life was much harder when they were young; this makes me think and ask myself: is this the ways that life looks like when we get old? Or it is indeed that the way of life is changing for the better; I will let you my dear readers decide for yourself, when you read my next few hubs, where I will continue to talk about my farm life experience.

Perhaps we have our own destiny

Looking at my life that I have already lived, I may have to say that there might be something called a destiny, so one might be born to live a certain way of life, or perhaps our destiny is already written in God’s book of our own life and in a way we are forced to live our lives, which is going to be influenced by some life events that are behind your control. I don’t know really what to think about this, but somehow I believe there is a sort of destiny and perhaps we have our own destiny.

Anyhow, dear readers as I have already said in the previous posts, I have come to blame my fate for most of my life short comings and pains. Because I believe that when I was born, I was born with a good chance to live a better life that I have lived; but it was not to be that way, perhaps it was my destiny. So, dear readers if you happen to read most of my life story, you may very well ask. Why is it that I am telling you only sad stories? Is it possible that in my whole life, I had so many sad happenings and not many happy ones?
Well I should say here that I have had a few happy happenings, but if I had to tell you about my happy happenings they would be so few and very boring indeed, and nobody could or would be interested to hear them anyhow.
So, I would like to talk now first of all, about those happenings that have affected my life in such a way that one could say that they have made me struggle during my life, as I have already said in my last post, My life story plus which you can read below this post.
Okay I know dear readers that you might be thinking that it is meaningless to write down all this useless stuff, as nobody might be willing to read it or get any benefit from it: But I am thinking that if my writings survive in a hidden corner just for a generation or two, and even if my writings are written poorly, as my English writing skills are not the best at the present time, because English is not my mother tongue. But I believe that in several years when time passes, then whoever would be reading my writings will find them more interesting, because life was so different in the old days that I lived, as I have started to live my life long before the great changes of nowadays.
And if what I am writing is going to be useless anyhow, I will do it just for practice, so that I would be able to improve my English language and also my writing skills. So that I could feel more confident within my own self when I write, and therefore I would not feel to be in such a hopeless and desperate position; like that time when something happened to me at a certain stage of my life, but because at that time I was not learned enough, I felt that I was not able to cope with it properly, and because I wasn’t able to cope with that matter in my case became also very painful, because of what I wanted to reach and do but I wasn’t able to, here I am talking about a matter that was and indeed is a very delicate matter of personal nature.
I would have liked to tell you about my helpless and desperate feelings, but I don’t know how just for now, so, I will write them later on including what was it that caused me so much distress; But this distress has also made me come to a decision, which is that I have to improve myself in my lacking skills.

So, now although I am getting old, I am going to try very hard if I can improve myself, so that, my improvements may still help me in my later years to reach where I have failed now.
Therefore by writing my own life story, I will also help myself to improve my English and my communication skills, which after all they are the art of being able to write or to say, the right words at the right time with the right meanings; since saying meaningful and skillful phrases is just like when one writes them down.
So please, allow me to write a few things that I have gone through during my own life, even if they might be boring so to speak, because, I would like to write them down; so that I could show you how hard life can sometimes be to any of us, but as you know this story applies particularly to me and I would like to tell you, because during my life so many things have changed since I was a child. Of course things will still keep changing nowadays and in the future, and very likely even faster than before, but now because we know of the coming changes we are able to accept them more easily than before, and therefore they will not seem that bad to us anyhow, because at least we believe that we know where we are going.

Anyhow I believe that I have said enough in this post, but I am going to come back to tell you more about my life story, in my next post.

My life story plus

WELCOME TO FRANK MENCHISE BLOG OF GENZANO DI LUCANIA, YOU ARE INVITED TO BROWSE AS LONG AS YOU LIKE. ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH US AND IF YOU WANT WRITE A COMMENT
-
WELCOME, to Genzano it story, and

Welcome to my post, My life story plus; Or should I say my life story and laments.

Hello my readers!

We all live our lives the best way we can, and we all wonder at the things that happen to us during our lives, but once we have lived those life happenings they seems only a dream, they are like some sort of distant memories so to speak, but nevertheless it is your life and my life that we are talking about here and your life is a story that can be told, if there is anybody willing to listen to your story, because as you know everybody of us has a story to tell, at least we can talk about our own life story.

So this is my life story, I don’t remember exactly how it all started this idea of writing my own life story, perhaps I have written it down somewhere else before but I don’t remember now. As you know there are many people these days that write their own life story; so, I would like to tell you my own life story for many reasons, and also to prove to myself that everyone of us as a story to tell, whether my story might not be as great as somebody else story it does not matter, I am saying this because I have had a rather hard life and therefore I am going to lament about my life. So I guess that not many people enjoy reading or listening to sad story, but anyhow this is one of the reasons why I have called this post: My life story and laments.

I would like to tell my life story also because; it makes me remember all the memories and experiences that have shaped my life, so let me tell you my own special life story, where I am going to tell you who I am, where have I been where I am now and how I got here, where I am now writing my own life story. I am writing this hoping that one day my family and friends might read my story and understand a bit more about me.

So as I have said, I have decided to tell you my own life story, because now that I am in my early sixties, and therefore I am in the later part of my life span, so I really should know everything about life and nothing should have surprised me, but life has surprised me. Therefore I have to say again that although I am an old man now and therefore experienced with life and what life can throw at you and sometimes it can be rather bad; one of my latest experience has made me feel so inadequate and frustrated lately, for not being able to reach out and make happen, what I wanted so desperately to happen. And this is one of the reasons, or perhaps the most important reason, why I have started to write my own life story here and also go public and post it in blogger. Anyhow, I have also to say that I have felt so many other times before that feeling of being inadequate during my life, which I believe it has been all because; I was put in a disadvantaged position when I was young, and for that reason I was not able to better myself to a satisfactory standard, which otherwise I would have been able to achieve if I had the chance, so, these are my laments in this life story and laments.
For these lost chances I can’t blame anybody, and I can’t even blame my mother for putting me in such disadvantaged position, because she was forced from disastrous and tragic events beyond her control. So I have come to the conclusion that I can only blame Fate, because it struck a terrible blow to our family when I was very young.
Therefore, if in my younger years I had been in a position to go to school at least for a few more years, or perhaps as long as my capacity to learn was used to the maximum; Then I could have learned whatever they teach at school, and at the same time as I would have been in a social environment, and so, I would have been able to improve my social and communication skills while I were at school, those skills which are so important to communicate with the rest of the community nowadays.
Therefore, if I had acquired those social skills, I would have been accepted socially easily, and I would have felt happier with myself, instead of feeling sometimes left out from the main stream, concerned and isolated.
You see; if I would have had a chance to learn more at school, then I would have learned more when I was young, and from that extra education I could have been more successful later on in my life, because I could have used my acquired knowledge, and those social skills which I never had the chance to learn then. And therefore, I could have ripped more and better rewards from within this society that we are living in today, which seems to me that it is more and more demanding in these social aspect. You see, those social skills that I have been talking about must be learned when one is young, so that they may and will become part of one self and therefore you can use them to your advantage during our lives, to learn those skills later on in life is still helpful, but not as helpful as when one is young. I hope you see what I mean. But perhaps we have our own destiny?

My life struggles

MY LIFE STRUGGLES;

Let me tell you my life memoir, so that I could fulfil my own contribution to humanity as I have said in my previous post called, the life duty of any man. So, let me start by telling you this part of my life that I call my life struggles, which one can say that these are the struggles of life of an ordinary and part educated or self educated man, one could describe him/me as a born struggler, who kept battling on during his (my) whole life.
Now allow me to tell you this story in the third person sometimes, so that my life story seems to apply to most of us instead of just me, so instead of saying I did this, I will say he did this.

So, as it often happens to the best of us, sometimes (I) he won (my) his battles and sometimes (I)he lost them. And although when he had a tough battle a scar or mark was left on him for life, he never thought to surrender to the adverse elements that life brought to him; therefore, he kept battling on his whole life from his very tender age onward. And no matter how hard it became for himself he kept struggling on, in order to conquer those negative elements which sometimes make life miserable.
He had to do it all by himself because; there is no other way that a person can live his own life, because the only thing one can do is to keep fighting on and never give up, no matter how hard it might become during one’s own life, starting from the very beginning when we are born.
This is the subject that I’d like to be talking about to you my readers, which is going to be never the less the very same story of my life, as I have already mentioned before.
So, it seems to me that we are born to struggle, in order to find our own way in life. Here I would also like to point out that, there are lots of people throughout the world nowadays, who believe that we are born to suffer; but I could not agree with them at all, because I don’t believe for a single moment that we are born to suffer. The reasoning is that if we believe that we are born to suffer, then, when something would make us suffer we would have to accept suffering as it is, and therefore we would do nothing at all to improve our situation. To me this situation would be absurd, and therefore, I prefer to believe that it should always be possible to do something to improve my situation, even if is going to make me struggle hard.
Therefore now just to explain myself better, I would like to speak a bit more on this subject, because I would like to try and convince you that what I believe would be correct, so I hope you don’t mind my staying put on this subject, so let us see some examples.
For a start, I am sure that all good parents wish from the bottom of their hearts, that their children will have an easy and happy life.
And if we were to ask any parent, or would be future parents: if they would like to have any children, knowing in advance that their children would have to suffer during their life time. I am sure that they would never agree to have children under such conditions.
So I don’t know why and how it came about, the belief that we are born to suffer. It is a well known fact that religious people have had a say in this belief, because for a long time they have believed that the flesh had to suffer, and only through suffering the soul would become holy in the eyes of God. I say that first of all there is no warranty that there is a god or there is an afterlife, but anyhow I believe that they have made a mistake and their belief is wrong, because if you are a believer and you believe in God; how could you ever think that we are born to suffer? How could you ever think that? Just think about it! How could God Our Heavenly Father, who is the perfect Father in every way: Why should God make us just to make us suffer?
No! The whole thought of suffering here is absurd, because any good father at all loves his own children, and so, he wishes that his own children live a good and happy life. Therefore, God who is the best father of us all must have made us to be free, so that we could choose our own way of living, and if during our lives there happens to be painful times, we have to rectify it ourselves in our own way, even if this will make us struggle.
Therefore I am sure that we are not born to suffer, but perhaps we are born to struggle and to find our own way in life.

I want to tell you, that I understand that life is not easy except for a few people that are born lucky. Therefore for those people who think that life is easy, I am pretty sure that they are in the minority; and ether they are the very lucky few, which everything has been done for them, or they are such fool’s that they cannot see what life is all about.
Indeed it is a well known and acknowledged fact of life, that there are several kinds of struggles within our present life: And as a matter of fact some great man have acknowledged of the existence of these struggles, and also of the existence of an inner struggle which we feel within ourselves. And some of these men have even expressed their views in public, in a direct way or an indirect way. In my life time for instance, ‘The Right Honourable Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser,’ when the public was complaining that life was a struggle for them under his government policies; He used to say to them and I quote; ‘Life is not meant to be easy’.
Therefore I feel so sure to admit that there are struggles in our lives, even if we don’t want them to be there, and I can assure you that even when we are not struggling, life is not meant to be easy for us, because, we will always be struggling as something somehow will bother us.
Therefore, my own life being just like anybody else, or perhaps worse off in some respect, I would like to tell you to the extent of some very personal details, so that I will be able to show you and prove my point that in order to survive and thrive I had to struggle. You see that is why I call this post, my life struggles.
So, it seems to me that from here onward I am going to tell you ‘My life struggles or the struggles of my life.’ Or perhaps should I say the story of my life; since this is the only issue that I am sure to know better than anybody else.
I would like to tell you the story of my life, just the way that I have lived it; with so many good chances that were wasted, owing to the fact that I was badly prepared when I was young. And I would like to comment about the anguish that those wasted chances brought with them, then and also later on during my life. But I want also to say that somehow I have managed to live my life with no great regrets, since I have tried hard to adjust to whatever needed to be done. But today when I think about the past with all its suffering that I have been through, I believe that I could have lived a better life, if I had been better prepared for it when I was young. And this is the most important aspect that I want to demonstrate here, and if you think that I am lamenting about my own life you are right; you see these are my life struggles.

For you dear readers I would like to add, try to compare my life struggles that I am going to describe to you, with your own life or today’s way of life, as this will make my life story more interesting to read? See you soon!

The old man views of life

THE OLD MAN VIEWS OF LIFE

As we have already said in this blog, this is the story of an old man who wants to tell you how things were when he was young; this old man also wants to tell you the reason why he has written his life story, so, let us read his story, as he has written it for us.
Dear readers, I am going to tell you about, a man life journey, which may as well be my own life journey, which it is. So, let me introduce myself first of all: My assumed Internet name is Menfranco Laws in this personal writings, even though I have to say that this is not my real name, but as we all know not many people can or will use their real name on the internet; I am also known as Frank as my real name is Francesco Menchise and this is my life journey.
We all know that one of the first questions that we usually ask ourselves is; why are we living on this planet earth and what is life? Many of us believe that life is a journey of the soul; this again brings in another question: What should a man do about his own life journey if he wants to save his soul one may ask?
This question will brings us to ask ourselves in the first place; what is life?
Life on earth can be explained in a few different ways according to what the person concerned believes in; you see if you are an atheist you believe in evolution, if you are a religious believer you believe in creation; this are the two main fields of beliefs and there may very well be more: so, one can go arguing about the origin of life forever, and therefore it is almost impossible to reach a total agreement of its origin, so if you note that my beliefs seem to be different from everybody else, they may indeed be different.

Anyhow, here we are talking about a man life journey, which is my own life journey; so, I am not going to discuss with you about the origin of our existing terrestrial life, because it will be just a waste of time for me, since what I want to talk about here is only about my own life journey, and therefore what counts in these writings are only my own life beliefs, even if some of my readers will not agree with my personal beliefs, as I have already pointed above.
So, I believe that life for me is a gift from the eternal life force of the Living God who is working together with Mother Nature since the very beginning of times: They have worked both together in such a way that life could go on forever on this planet, just like the way they are themselves, as they are eternal. So life keeps going on, even if with the passing of time everything seems to change and even life itself on this earth may change a little or a lot.
The truth about this slowly changing life matter can be seen easily by any keen observer, since one has only to allow oneself enough time to observe these things, in order to see that although life and other things seem to be the same for a very long time in reality they change; therefore, in order to survive life on earth is constantly adapting itself to its environments, and the faster the environment changes the faster life needs to change to adapt itself to it, in order to survive. Therefore in a way Darwin may indeed be right with his theory of evolution.
I have reasons to believe that it is important for us to record these changes, so, this is one of the reasons that I am writing a man life journey. You see, I believe that this continuous life adaptation that is continuously taking place, with time it could and would bring some change to the ways of life and even life itself, so, it is important that we look closely at our present own life and our lives experiences including past experiences when we were younger, and perhaps, we should also look closely at recent past generations, so that, we may understand what has happened and what is happening nowadays, if we do that we may be able to plan ahead, so that, we may be ready and able to cope with any changes which may occur in the near future, and also for future generations.
But, perhaps first of all we need to talk about these changes which are taking place nowadays and I need to convince those people that don’t believe in these life changes, that those life changes are really taking place, so, I invite you to read my own life journey writings, in order to see for yourself what I mean about general changes and my own life changes. As for myself I know it from my own life experience about them, since I need only to look back at the times when I was young and compare them to these present days, in order to convince myself that the style of life and everything else around me have really changed a lot since my younger days, and if I think about what the older generation were telling me when I was young, I say that there is no doubt that there have been great changes.
This is a man life journey and it is obvious from what I have just said above that, we need to adapt ourselves to the present environment as it changes in order to survive. So, this present position will bring us back to the first question. What should a man do about his own life journey? This will bring us to another question. What is the life duty of any man?

But in this case I believe that I have already written a post about, the life duty of any man, so next post will be about, my life struggles.

My life story

My life story begins

-
As I said in my last post of, Every one of us has a story to tell, so I was going to tell you, my life story, where I said that this blog is also going to discuss other issues as well, so, let us start again from the very beginning, so that we can state what these writing could be here for, because this old man would like to talk also of his later views in life. I know that this may seem like jumping from one subject to another, but this is how life works out sometimes. So, these writings of, Old man life story together with the other pages of this blog are being created also to discuss ways on how we can discuss and reach reconciliation on many subjects. The word key here is to discuss and reconcile, since, any other ways may well be futile for the future benefit of all humanity.
In these post writings we will ask people what they think about any issues being discussed in here, while we present them with what is happening in the world nowadays; and as I said, at the same time we intend also to somehow compare the old times way of living to the hectic nowadays living.
In a way this will give us a broader base to discuss about, and also make the subject more interesting. The Old man life story or my life story writings which we will be using to compare belong to me, and also sometimes some of my friends have a say, since we have lived much the same life, I have to say that these writings have partly been published in other blogs and we want to continue to publish them, so let us hope that it works well.
As we have already said, in these writings of my life story we want to tell you an Old man life story, a man life from his early youth to nowadays, we want to do this, so that we may be able to compare today ways of life to the old ways of life, in the hope of finding something that may help us understand better what is happening nowadays, and why we behave in certain ways. So, we are going to tell you this Old man story about this old man, who started to live his life before major changes occurred.
As I said, we would like to do this while we try to compare the old ways of living to nowadays living.

Can you just imagine how people lived 60 or 70 years ago? I suppose you can’t.
So, let us follow this old man story when he talks about when he was young; so that we may be able to see his story and be able to compare this old man story to the present nowadays living and their problems, which usually would be different from the old times.
This old man story has been written from me and a friend of mine and it has never been completely published. I and my friend as the writers of this, Old man life story have agreed to use this story here to help ourselves with our on line writings. We hope it works out well.
We have to say that people these days have a lot more challenges to cope with, as the ways of life have changed very quickly, this is one of the reasons that sometimes old people seem out of touch with the younger generation. It is the sign of the present times and we are not able to do much to improve the situation between these generations, so, we have just to wait and see what happens next.
As we all know, today humanity is facing many problems, just to mention a couple here, one of this is global warming, the other seems to be religious beliefs, since there are many nasty things done in the name of religions, therefore we need to do something about them soon, or they may indeed change the face of the earth forever. As we have said there are also major religious issues that come up every now and then, my views about these religious issues is that we need to find a way how to deal with them, therefore, this will or could also be discussed in these posts.
In my life story, let us try to write down this old man story, who talks about his experience of life and the way he lived when he was young!

Every one of us has a story to tell

Everyone has a story to tell and so have I; so I have thought that this blog here is going to be used from now on to tell my own life story, this is the second post of a long story which I will call, An Old Man Life Story. Today I am going to write my Old man life story, as close as possible to the way that I lived my life during my younger years, so I will tell you how it all happened in those times, but that is not the only reason why I am going to write this story, since I would also like to write this story because I would like to compare this story to the modern ways of living today, just to give it another useful meaning to my writings.
So, let us just imagine if one could go back in time like in time travel fictions and see how people were living then, what would or could we say about those times then? I suppose we would wonder how nowadays way of living would have affected the older generations, if they had known what life would have been like in the future, since in the old days things were very different then and they did not change very much at all, and if anything happened, it would have happened usually slowly, in fact everything seemed to be standing still, whereas today everything is changing so fast that one has no time even to think about it.
Anyhow, in this first post of, Old man life story, we will start telling you about a story of a young boy who started living his life a long time ago the old ways as it was then; this boy now has become an old man and wonders at the ways we live today; so, this old man now looks at today events and compares them to the time when he was young, therefore, he thinks that it could be interesting if the readers themselves would also like to compare this old time story to the new ways of living that we live today. But that is not all as I will explain in my next post. See you soon.

WELCOME!

To blog, Genzano it story

Welcome to my post, An old man life story

This blog, http://genzanoit.blogspot.com now called, Genzano it story, it is being used to write about Genzano town and of course its citizens and anything else that belongs to Genzano; But today I have made this decision and I am going to add the story of an old man that came from Genzano, so that there is more to talk about. I hope to make it interesting enough for my readers to follow my blog.

An old man story

Introduction to; An old man story

Let me tell you a story and transport you to another place and to another time, at the time when I was a kid and my grandma would tell me a story just to keep me happy and go to bed and sleep.

Ho my god! What did I say? Tell you fairy tales that the elders of my time were telling me when I was a kid; no, sorry my dear readers I have made a mistake and I apologize, I should have known better and told you what I am really going to do; I am going to tell you the story of my life. I know now you are saying, what is wrong with me why should I tell you the story of my whole life? Well it is just because I cannot tell you a fairy tale, because today people don’t believe anymore in fairies of fairy tales, and really, I don’t remember most of the tales that I have been told, so I could not tell you much of a story; therefore I am going to tell you the story of my life, because that is the only story that I know better than anybody else.

Now that I have decided to tell you my whole life story, starting with this post called, (An old man story), which is going to be also the name of my writings, I have also to say that there are other issues that have prompt to write my story, the main issues are written hereunder.

Firstly, I would like to tell you my dear readers that I would like to use this story of my life to compare the ways of living between today and the old time ways; I believe that in order to tell a story and make sense to the listener or readers there should also be a purpose for it, so, if we compare this story, then it may make this story more interesting. So I wonder how it would be if one could go back in time like in time travel fictions, how nowadays ways of living would have affected the older generations. You see, in the old days time seemed to stand still and very little changes would happen, and if anything did happen it would happen very slowly, whereas today everything changes very fast and what is new today, in a few days may be said to be old. I hope you see what I mean?

Secondly, I am going to tell you about why I feel that I have to write this story, and why I believe I have to write it. You see, I feel that every human being has a story to tell, and anyone of us could tell our own story if we attach enough importance to the story that we want to tell. So, to me it happens that I believe that by telling you my life story, not only I become satisfied that I have written my own life story, but I would also feel that I am doing humanity a good service, because something can be learned from my life story. I believe that it is the life duty of any man to try to improve anything if one can, just as I have written in my last post. I hope you see what I mean.
