My little brother

Last Sunday I went to a catholic sanctuary with my family to celebrate my father’s birthday. We went at night to go pray the Rosary, and as they were saying the intentions my little brother started crying.

“Today, we pray for world peace in Gaza and in Ukrain.” the priest said.

And then, when my father asked what was wrong, he answered:

“Have you seen the state of the world! It’s just so sad!”

That got me thinking: when did our souls lost that kind of inocence? I mean, my brother’s 10 years old, he has gone through some sad, heartwrecking things, but still he did lose his inocence and his tireless will to seek the good. Why do we lose that? I find it hard to believe that we lose it because so many people do us wrong all our lives. And why did we stop being good?

When did being good start to look like a weakness? Goodness shows our strong will and our desire to live fully rather than badness. Badness in the sense that it represents the need to hide our truthfull persona, to gaslight everyone into thinking we don’t care about nothing, that that whole YOLO thing is sustainable. But most of all in the sense that we lose that kind of blind inocence that made us children. Being that person keeps us from being emocionally free.

Showing our emotions is an important part of being human. If we can’t do that are we even alive? If I can’t run over to someone and tell them that I love them, am I even an emotional being? To feel compassion, to feel love, to feel sadness, to feel that I’ve hit rockbottom, it all makes us human. If we allow ourselves to not feel it we are lying to everyone and ourselves.

I wish I had kept that. I wish I could see the world the way I saw it as a child. Everything was so much bigger than us, but we didn’t feel scared rather than inspired to be big and to go into adventures. Why did I lose it? I ask myself that many times. When did I stop being content with what I had and wanted more and more?

Now I look at my little brother and pray that he doesn’t lose that. That he could grow to be one those rarely seen actually nice guys that treat everyone with respect and kindness regardless of their own lives.
