“We are made of small fragments of wisdom”

Very good days.

He Mother’s Day It reminded me of a thought Umberto Eco: “We are made of small fragments of wisdom. Yes, we have learned since we were little, in our own home, many things by imitating our parents. From them we learned order, cleanliness, care for things, respectful relationships between brothers, the dignity of the person, serving and helping in every way possible, the development of abilities, the occupation of time. “, sharing what you have, solidarity with those in need, openness to people, even strangers, to pray as a family and many more things.”

My parents never set out to teach us that. We learned everything by osmosis, seeing how they acted. From them we learned, moment after moment, the most extraordinary values ​​in small doses that we have accumulated over the years, until we have an incalculable wealth that fills us with joy and peace.

Through his eyes and his words, we learned to see the world and face its problems. With your experience, we expand our horizons and achieve our goals.

Yes, we should be grateful.

Good morning.
