We are because we have, we have because we are. They can not be separated because they represent the impulse and the manifestation. Being is the impulse from the invisible, and having is the seen in the visible of the abilities and resources. We want to be and we want to have, that the efforts have a goal beyond physical subsistence. Everyone is different and with their evolutionary level, but we all have to fight to cover deficiencies and dependencies. Not having in search of having is the engine of improvement forcing us to constant exchanges of supply and demand .Having must be useful, that it performs a service, and therefore we must ask ourselves : what do we want to have ? what do we want it for ? what use will make of it ? Society pushes us to have because of constant needs, and attending to these needs makes us not think about norishing the needs of being. Having is for external development, being for internal development, with the difference that having comes and goes, with ups and downs to finally leave everything behind. On the other hand, being is the eternal, unalterable values that always accompany us, giving meaning to the efforts and experiencies to improve our expressions. Immersed in the material, having to obtain various supplies, limited and conditioned by obligations to search for resources, one does not become conscious of intangible goods simply because they are too busy in the elemental where the majority has not internally forged the desire to live by spiritual guidelines and goals. Having must be a reflection of who we are. Predominate virtues or defects ? What emerges from within shows itself outwardly with its consequences, and it is up to us give it the appropriate direction and expressions if we want well being to prevail. Having must provide what is essential to have autonomy and access to quality, with the appropriate measures neither too much nor too little. Having is not the end, it is the intermediary between the internal and external, shaping talents in a fit between the personal and the collective. First we focus on having to learn, offer services and have what we need. From maturity to old age, material interests diminish, because it is time to focus on individual cultivation with the true purpose beyond a worldly life and material goods.

CONSTANT DISTRACTION IS NOT THE WAY
We have come to produce and be useful to access resources and have maximum autonomy. Each day has several facets, and if we want to take advantage of it, requires our attention and concentration. What has been achieved through study and work efforts has been through concentration. It is clear that most of the day requires attention to act correctly, where not doing so often lead to losses, dangers or accidents. Distraction or dispersion is being and not being. In what we want to do in what surround us, movements must be precise at the relevant time, and any or dispersion is a threat. Fun can be synonymous with distraction if the underlying theme leads to having fun, and many people associate distraction with fun when we are not immersed in obligations or routine repetitions. Distractions must occupy a small space, because the important is to be productive. Why do we want to be distracted ? Why don´t we like everyday life ? To experience sensations that attract more than the daily routine ? Need to escape ? From what, from work, from certain people ? If we are not satisfied with what we have achieved, from the outside we will not. Brief episodes that disconnect us from the usual order that fade or evaporate once they end without true nourishment. Why do people get bored ? Because they expect more that they want or imagine and are not able to offer it. The superfluous, transient, what depends on others comes and goes and leaves no trace.Only a constant work of study and introspection to maximize our development will make us feel comfortable without craving distractions. Hours and hours wasted on sterile occupations are not distraction as most understand it, they do not make to feel better or allow you to expand learning or consciousness, which are fundamental to increasing quality.

START AND START OVER TO MAKE IT BETTER
Start and start over is the constant tone of what surrounds us in our activities. Alternating between day and night, action and rest, fractioned spaces of time to dedicate to what we need, adjusting to the appropiate schedules for each occupation. A lot of repetition to maintain or increase what is essential, with the feeling of stagnation if significant progress is not made according to the efforts. If we observe what is being done, we can ask ourselves : are we making progress from one year to the next ? what have I improve in a decade ? Am I basically dedicating to surviving or expanding my global potential ? Technically, the progress of the usual tools compared to a century ago is obvious. Performing the same tasks but with much better performance. However, reviewing behavior and goals, we continue to repeat the same paterns that lead to conflicts without seeing trends that can reverse it because if we don´t get to the root and want to modify obstructive behaviors, we will start over and over again in a multitude of areas that will keep us stuck, unable to break the inertia. Surely everyone wants to improve in one or more aspects, the question is : why we don´t improve ? Due to selfish approaches, to the ignorance of our internal center by focusing on the external and yearning for the strictly worldly aspirations. Every new day is different with opportunities to expand, where obligations, limitations, robotic repetition, allow us to maintain or increase resources, in a constant dynamic of coming and going, beginnings and endings, without asking ourselves what is best for us in all of this, that we can incorporate, what we should leave behind. Introducing expansive variants on a peronal level is our challenge, just as machines that have progressed and provide us with service and comfort. External material tools allow us what was unimaginable in a distant time, now is it a matter of applying it to ourselves so that health, relationships and the way we express lead to establishing harmony.

THE CUMBERSOME AND HEAVY MEANWHILE
Why do we value a certain heavy and cumbersome context ? Because we don´t like according to our criteria, values and idyosincrasies. The same background theme can be opposed or indifferent to others, consequently perception, sensations and personal influences determine it. We would like everything go to according to our will, but we are immersed in a social context, dependencies are constant, and we have to adapt to people and situations continuosly. Each one occupies a place and has certain characteristics and functions, what is important is knowing how to fit into the environment and carry out the individual task in the best way. In the learning and development processes there will be long and heavy stages and other pleasant and fluid ones. They are part of the whole, it is about seeing the heavy and that it shows, the message and the room for maneuver if possible so as not to experience it as a burden. Situations, the environment we find ourselves in, relationships and conditions are not accidental, they are to broaden the perspective and able to replace unsatisfactory patterns with those conducive to greater harmony. Sometimes may be health, others money and assiduosly relations. There are precedents that determine it, it is a matter of seeing the cause and modifying positions. The heavy and cumbersome presents itself to us to strengthen, and if the effort is minimal we do not advance, and the test is more demanding to access other levels. The cumbersome and heavy due to social, political or cultural conditions, they have a purpose to work on us, whether it is patience, concepts, fitting in or rebelling, a path of trials that can last indefinitely.

SUBSTITUTIONS
To replace is to change one thing for another, not only in material aspects, but also to move from a previous situation to a later one. Time indicates movement and change, We can not remain static, and each new scenario is to complete the previous one or start new ones. From one second to the next, from one minute, one hour to the one that follows, the substitutions do not stop, the important is what we do with continuity and modifying variants. From childhood to youth, the maturity and old age. Physical support , the ability or not to think, feel and act is conditioned by the different ways of observing, valuing and projecting due to the accumulation of experiences and the impact on us. We can not be the same permanently, The obvious physical changes must be accompanied by a potential expansion that shows greater breadth of horizons and maturity. We always rely on bases that act as support, what we replace is related to transitory factors that are were the action aimed at executing the purpose of individual development with the corresponding improvements take place. The principles are unchangeable, They tell us how to proceed, from one context to another, where we must strive so that similar repetitions add a quality bonus. Nature is the reflection of what we have to do. We go from day to night, from night to day, from one season to another, from activity to rest, each one has its function, and the challenge is to learn, to broaden our perspective, so that in the new season, in the new day, we have taken advantage of what its peculiarities offer. Everything flows, therefore whoever wants to cling to relationships, conditions or privileges is pinching themselves. Appreciating what we have, changing if it necessary, and adapting continuously, there is no other way.

EXPERIENCE SLOWS DOWN HOPE
Experience slows down hope because the time factor accumulates opportunities that make it easier to broaden the criteria, seeing more clearly what we previously did not appreciate due lo lack of experience. From idealizing youthful naivety to practical maturity brought about by repetitions and similarities. We want to trust in the transformation of conditions or relationships, and reality is insistent in showing us the reality of the human race. Setting hopes is observing the current moment with its tools, preparation, resources and realization possibilities, projecting it into the near or distant future according to the underlying theme and the requirements to intervene. In the personal and social, the collaboration of others with some type of contribution, must be combined with the aspirations to be achieved. And each case has its own characteristics for the appropiate fit. Experience slows down hope. The longed for partner is far from what is imagined and desired to what ends up being. And this is because virtues are not present on all fronts, it is not possible to experience high vibrations leading to quality. And exactly in the various social relationships. Harmony does not occur if we have not previously introduced it within ourselves. ¿ In what, how and with whom is feasible to improve relationships ? With the prevailing level of banality, without delving into self knowledge or anything that truly broadens horizons, it makes longed for exchanges endowed with impossible substance. Experience slows down hope. Regrettable politics chosen by people with erroneous criteria far for common sense, where too often what they try to implement disturbs the tranquility, and far for improving conditions, they worsen. What hope can we have with governors who lack clarity, with words and deeds that tarnish and endanger basic factors ? Hope of reversing poverty ? Of reducting pollution ? Of leveling the immense differences between billionaries and those living below the minimum ? As long as the predominant objectives continue to focus on personal benefits, discomfort and degradation will persist, and hopes for recovery in some many areas, always pending, may improve or continue to worsen.

CONFLICTING PEOPLE AND STATES
Conflictive people have an internal mismatch expressed in ways that disrupt peace and tranquility. They believe they are enlightened when it is just the opposite. Biased thoughts that sprinkle feelings to end with pathetic words or deeds. States are the collective expression of what is transmitted by people in the individual. And the imbalance between what they believe is correct and right but is not, shows the worst versions in many aspects. The notorious common characteristics in them, are an exaggerated egoscentrism, authoritarianism, imposition, and desire for dominance. Subjugating others to satisfy petty desires is an adrenaline rush for them. Verbal or physical aggresion is usually present, they want to intimidate and get their way, using whatever methods are necessary, emulating the most similar to gangsterism. Constantly justifying their arguments and what they intend by projecting themselves as if others where the bad guys, the ones who are wrong. Only they are right, the truth is theirs, always using , arrogant, presumptuous language. Delusions of grandeur, one of the distinguishing marks, come at the cost of oppressing, and harassing, and the ways are diverse. One ot the most despicable forms is wanting to replace the identity of those who are different and who they cannot stand and want to subjugate, annihilating the language and forcing it to be the only valid one. Those who detests, invading the territory, are either like them or must be annihilated. Dictatorial countries, of single-mindedness,where dictatorships and wars are never lacking. And the usual methods par excellence, torture, imprisonment, blackmail, where dissidents are purged with threats, and naturally the laws and those in charge of them enjoy impunity for all the pertinent barbarities as appropriate. All the violence, primitivism and brutality, to shield unworthy privileges forged in the most degrading moral baseness, some satisfactions or an ephemeral enjoyment that will have its corresponding karma when the time comes.

THE RELATIVITY OF WHAT IS CLASSIFIED AS IMPORTANT
What is important ? Will depend on the circumstances and possibilities of each person and the particular individual code of values. What we live, we have, what we want, raise or lower the bar according to the variants and what is valued in each moment. There are elements that we want always present, and others of a secondary nature. We give importance to what bring wll being, and most efforts go in this direction. In the essential we are agree, and then depends the social position, material resources and intellectuals to direct the intentions in some direction. Health is the most important because the rest depends on it. Money and possessions but inability to act fully does not solve the underlying problem. Is important to be in the right place to act without restriction. Have the essential tools and resources to avoid depending on third parties. Relations are important to the extent that they facilitate exchanges for mutual benefit. We should not give importance to certain relationships influenced by the prevailing one. Is not a question of who nor quantity, but of the quality emitted in the interaction. Make the time profitable is important. The opportunities of today are differents from tomorrow´s . Is important what is or will be useful. Yearn for constant development in the areas that can expand the consciousness and that facilitate to express ourselves more accurately, this is fundamental importance.

BORING AND DULL RELATIONSHIPS
Why are certain relationships boring ? Because there are no exciting elements. The majority of the population´s education is directed towards worldly interests, and adhering only to a limited number of themes once treated it´s more of the same. We would like charming links, but it is not possible because we are not prepared to offer them, so we keep changing interlocutors but the boredom persists. Apart from a professional service, what can we provide ? What types of conversations predominate in the different contacts ? Limited basically preparing ourselves to work, once we are up to date with new developments ¿ What can we introduce that is interesting to reflect on or learn from ? It doesn´t matter if the encounters are occasional or frequent, if the dynamics are the same, it doesn´t change the background. A lot of chatter but little substance. It´s not about pronouncing many words, but about the echo and benefit that they can leave. And in line with our level we will not introduce enthusiasm for hours that pass. The dull relationships they get tired of what is said and done over and over again, stuck in obstructive contexts with friction and discomfort, generated by one or both parties. Sometines is to be subject to forms of domination, control, imposition. The same pattern is repeated tirelessly, the abuser and the subjugated. The impotence to change the status quo emerges in immovable lethargy. With the present social level lack of true intelligence and sensibility for others, the relationships will be boring, unless elevate our consciousness, actions and goals.

TECHNOLOGY AND TRIVIALIZATION
What is the desire to be noticed ? How important is it that thousands of people know what we say and do ? Who do we want to impress ? Why ? Do we become a better person because of being viewed by an audience ? This is the society of trivialization. Any nonsense can go viral, and once seen we continue the same without improving our own lives or those of others due to the underlying unsubstantiality. Internal disconnection and exclusive attention to external affairs generate a void that is sought to be fille through supposed enthusiastic doses that contribute nothing due to their unfounded value. How bad are if satisfaction depends on these narcissistic operations which highlight the lack of goals and life purpose aimed at advancing as individuals. To know if what we want to spread to the crowd is right, the question to ask is : Is important for people to know about this action ? How more important be for us the more someone knows what we do, the less true this action is. And in the reverse, the less recognition, the more true it is. We take actions driven by desires, but according to these we will reveal the true essence. Motivation should not arise to satisfy the ego that implies a disconnection from the global, but to guide ourselves by the inner voice that will lead to a feeling of well being that does not depend on praise, exaltation or the approval of others. One experience reserved unduobtedly a very small minority group in the face of this inconsistent majority that reduces everything to simplistic statements lacking relevance and absence of quality.
