My farm life views
Dear readers, today
we are going back to write about my life story, I know that we have written
several posts about what is happening today in the world, but since I have not
been able to write a new article, we are going back to my life story.
So, this post is
the continuation of our last post, breaking away from my farm life, which are
all being part of ‘An old man life story, so, let me continue. Now, even though
we have been talking about my farm life experience in our previous posts, at
this point of time, I would have liked to go straight to the point again
telling you all about my own personal life experience in the farm when I was
very young, which is the most important experience during my whole young life,
and which I ought to tell you as it was, because of the ways that it has affected
me, if I want to make my point about my young life experience in the farm;
since it is my first life experience in the real world, and therefore the most
important one.
So, just to make my
point here, I have to tell you that my first real job in the farm was, that I
had to look after a small flock of sheep, I was about 11 years old at that
time, so to be in charge of those animals was a big ask for a small boy even
then, and when we look at the standard of life that we have today, it looks
even worse, but somehow I did it anyhow, after that job I had to do many other
things. All these things put together, I should tell you right away, that it
has affected me for the rest of my life in a negative way, because I was placed
in a disadvantaged position, right from the start of my young life, as I have
already mentioned before.
Now, while I am
writing and thinking about my younger life, at the same time, I cannot help to
wonder, how the young people of today would react, if they find themselves in a
disadvantaged position as I was then. So, I ask myself again and again, would
today young People have enough positive thinking to overcome the hard life that
would be thrown at them, or would they just keep protesting and run away from
the problems ahead of them; as the young people usually do these days? But
there is also something else, I have noted that today young people like only to
get in touch with other people through their mobiles, they don’t like to talk
to people face to face, and they avoid all sorts of problems if they can. Therefore,
I wonder what they would have done, if they would end up in the same position
as I was, as there were not many people around to talk to, and above all there
wasn’t any devise that you could talk to or listen to it, like we have today,
when we use the mobile phones, you see life was very different then.
Anyhow, during our
lives I have learned, that life means to us whatever we want life to mean to us,
and, different times may have different meanings for every one of us. Today I
have concluded that even if we live a hard life, we need to be positive during
our life, and that is what we have to do all the time, be positive if we can. We
need to do that if we want to overcome our difficulties. My own life is a very
commune good example, as you are going to see while you read these articles.
You see, just because I have been positive during my whole life, even when
things went the wrong way many times, but I just kept going on the best way I
could, because that was the only thing that I could do at that time. The
reality of life is that we are forced to do whatever life throws at us, so, we
better do it without upsetting ourselves too much.
We must believe
that from our drawbacks we can always learn something positive, and if these
positive thoughts are added up, one can find a way to use them. You see, today
in my old age I am even able to write these posts in blogger, in a language
that is not my mother tongue, this might not be a great deal to some people,
but it helps me to think that I am not that hopeless fellow that I was when I
was young, because I have kept positive and tried to learn whenever I had the
chance, I hope that you see what I mean?
Now that I have
explained the position that I am in today, which one could say that it is a
sharp contrast, to the ways I have been living when I was very young. Anyhow,
today to continue to tell you my farm life story, I believe that I should
describe to you first, what the farms were like in those days, and how the
farmers used to run the farms in a traditional manner, at the time when I was
young. And I want also to point out to you, the farmers and their workers were
then, and are still today the most important contributors of the welfare of
this rural town of Genzano di Lucania, you see, the rural communities wherever
you go in the world, they are still those people that grow food for the rest of
the other communities, therefore growing any sort of food will always be
necessary, for these reasons the people that grow food are very important
contributors, for the rest of the town community; this would also apply to our
rural town of, Genzano di Lucania. But there seems to be a problem between the
farmers and the town people, because the rest of the town communities, they
don’t seem to recognize enough the farmer contributions, this attitude gives
rise to some malcontent, and it makes life harder for the farming people. We
all should know that farmers are hardworking simple people, that have no much
time to think about frivolous things, just for the sake of showing off to other
people, like most people of the rest of the community practice everywhere, and
this is one of the problems between these communities, but the farmers knowing
that they know only how to farm they keep on farming.
I believe that this
post is already long enough, so, see you in our next post, farm life can be
very hard.
