Life is beautiful...

Life is beautiful, just like the flower ... 

A zen-Buddhist coen narrates the curiosity of a monk, his desire to understand every single thing, to be able to understand his essence. 

Enjoying his morning walk, he stopped in front of a beautiful flower that he had not seen so far and naturally asked himself the question ... what makes it so beautiful? 
He cut him off and began to study it.  
This lasted for some time, but he was still not pleased with his observation, he began to separate one by one the leaves and to study it thoroughly.
Removing leaf by leaf he was more and more understanding what the flower is, until there was only one leaf ... he already knew how it was made and what made it so beautiful but there was no flower ...

It's the same with life - it's nice, as long as we do not think about why or look for its meaning ....
If we start doing it, there is a danger of getting to the "flower" result.  

On the other hand, each of us at one point begins to ask themselves:
  • some find the answer in the "children" (or we may just want them, so to not be lonely when we get older ...);  
  • others in a nice company and drinking on Friday night (trying just to escape ...);  
  • the third - in their work ... 
  • also, there are those like me who easily give up and when they can not understand something - just enjoy it ... :)
 
 I wish the "researchers" succeed and hopefully someone will give a logical and universal answer to the question! And we to able to refute the expression: "Blessed are the ignorant." I wish we could face the "truth" (whatever that means - if it is easier for you to replace "truth" with "facts"), to accept it and move on with the desire to find something new ...

La Cueva de los Verdes (The Cave of the Greens) Located just 1 kilometer from the Jameos del Agua, it belongs to an underground pipe system of about 6 km of length. Caves and galleries emerged during a prehistoric eruption of the Monte de La Corona volcano more than 4,000 years ago. The visit lasts about 45 minutes, travel approximately 2 km.  El Golfo (The Gulf)  In very few places you can have the privilege of seeing a crater at sea level. The Gulf formed due to the eruptions of 1730. The crater has been flooded with seawater with a greenish color, produced by the algae found on its surface. The combination of colors attracts the attention of all those who look out over the viewpoint. The bright green of the lagoon contrasts with the intense blue of the ocean, the black of the strip of sand and the reddish rock formations that frame the image. You can descend to the lagoon by a steep slope. Los Hervideros (Boiling Waters) Los Hervideros, a compl...
