Death has to be the most difficult thing we go through. Many of our problems in life eventually go away or get better. Many of them we solve on our own by getting a new job, a new husband or new home. Death is final. Even believers who know they will see their loved ones in Heaven do not always find comfort in that. Because we are all unique as individuals, no one else can take the place of a lost loved one. When you have been close to someone who dies, the thought of never seeing him or her alive again is almost more than you can bear.

Friendship is a mutual relationship. It involves a lot of sacrifice so if you are wondering why you don't seem to have any good friends, you should probably look inside. I mean check yourself, ask certain questions; how much do you sacrifice to see that your friendship works? How much do you contribute? Now, I am not saying you must play the fool just to have a good friendship, but sacrifices are necessary sometimes.

Once I was going to Brasilia to study about air safety with some people from the Air Force. It was a long journey inside a bus because the Navy did not give air passage for everybody (it´s funny -- I was going to study about air safety but using bus to the class!). It had been a long time since my last travels by bus; normally I travel with the Navy’s helicopters, but not this special time, and I knew nobody inside the vehicle. The long drive was scheduled to last 18 hours, which inspired me to read a book. The trip started at 11:30 am and before 7:00 pm I had finished the reading. What to do now? Nothing, other than to watch the boring landscape through the window and look around the bus.
