An old man life story 

Anyhow, life means different things to different people, so, hereunder I am writing some of my views and what I believe we should do during our lives. 

The Duty of any human being

Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

The duty of any man, or human being can be divided in two folds; one of this duty is an idealistic duty about what a man should do for the betterment of humanity; the other duty is how a human being or man should behave during his life, in order to be viewed and thought to be of good character and everything else, which enhances the quality of life itself; because these two things is what distinguishes us from the animals’ world, and also from those do no good humans that want to rip off the rest of the human society for themselves.

Having said that, now let us start to talk about, that idealistic duty that a man is supposed to do during his life, since we believe that it would be good for humanity, as the aim is to do something for the betterment of all humanity.

Therefore, let us start from the beginning of our lives, and use our own lives observations to decide what is the duty of any human being; we have reasons to believe that when a man (or woman) is born, they receive their gift of life from God and/or Mother Nature or whatever one believes there is that makes life possible on earth. Of course, all this is achieved through and from their parents, who are guided from their natural instinct to do what they have to do to bring on a new life, as we know this is the only way for life to reproduce itself and continue indefinitely.
Now, for life to evolve and become better, it is important that we all do our best, so, we should be careful what we do during our lives; therefore, this gift of life that we have received from God, Mother Nature or whatever we believe our lives come from, we have to be careful with it and we should endeavour to guard our own lives dearly, with all our inner will and physical strength, because our lives is a very special gift that we have received from God, if we believe in God, or from Mather Nature or whatever one believes in.

You see, there are reasons to believe that every one of us have our own ways of seeing this gift of life in different ways, but for those who believe in God have an extra special meaning, since God is the life giver of all existing life on earth. Therefore, the life duty of a man even in the eyes of God, is that a man must try to live his own life well, or at least as good as his parents have done before him, and if he can, he must try to improve the standard of life he has received. Now if there are any improvement that he has made during his life, they should be passed onto his children, so, the next coming generation that will come through him and from him will have a better standard of life that he has had during his life, since he has been able to improve that standard of life that he has received himself. So, let any good man come forward and say what improvements he can contribute to humanity.

Now that I have described what I think the life duty of any man should be, and of course believing every word that I have said, there is no way that I can avoid doing my duty for the improvement of future generations. Of course, by doing my duty as we have said, not only I have achieved something good for the community, therefore, I would feel that my life has been worthwhile living, because I have done something worthwhile during my life; otherwise, I would feel that life has passed me by and I have not done anything important, or contributed anything at all for the improvement of the future generations. So, I believe that our life learning must be passed on for the betterment of all humanity. Now let me explain what I believe our other human duty is.

------------------- 

The other human duty to society

Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

We have written above an idealistic duty of any human being, but there is another duty that everybody should follow and everybody must know what it is, because it is very simple; “do not do to others, what you would hate if anybody does it to you”. Anyhow, here we want to become more personal and talk about ourselves, as we live our lives presently.

We human beings that pride ourselves to be at the top of all living being on earth, we should ask ourselves what is our duty during our lives, in order to do the right things and be proud of ourselves, just because we have done what is right; we believe that on earth we are like gods’ and can do anything we like, so, we are able to dominate all other living species, but what about our own specie; are we doing the right thing to other fellow man one may ask?

The answer to that question is hard to explain, because there are many wrong things that we still do in this world. You see, we would like to behave like gods’, but really to be like god, we need to behave like God, and do certain duties that is worth of being called a good and benevolent god; but that is a hard thing to do. Anyhow, we don’t claim to be gods, because we believe that there is a spiritual God that is very powerful and is the master of heaven and earth, so, we can never claim to be that powerful, at least we understand that; for this reason we give up the idea of being gods; but let us see what our duty would be, if we want to be at the top of every living thing and feel that we have done our duty as well.

We believe that for mankind to stay at the top of everything and work in a positive way, a man should do his duty willingly; we believe that a man has got to do what a man has got to do, because this would be his life duty, anything that is detrimental to the rest of humanity and the living species must be avoided.

You see, we have this inborn wish within us that we would like to be seen as great people, or at least better than the average man that is beside us, when we do our duty willingly; so, let us talk about and see what our duty is, if we want to be seen and counted as a good and honest man, from the rest of the world community.

As we have said at the beginning, the duty of any man is two folds; the first duty is that a man has got to live his life honestly; by this we mean that he has got to try to live his life in a way that he is able to earn his own living, he should work at whatever work he is able to do during his life, and he should not try to steal anybody money or belongings, he should pay his bills and his rent in time and be always punctual with his payment and his work duty. All these things might seem hard to achieve; but what we have said is easy to achieve if you live a normal life and try to do it honestly.

This is our first duty to our community. The other idealistic duty that any of us can be called to fulfill, we have talked about at the beginning of this article. So, now let us go back to explain why our life learning should be passed on. We will write about this in our next post. See you soon.

WE ARE CHANGING THIS BLOG NAME, WE ARE GOING TO CALL IT, BABY RAFAEL STORY. While we are posting Baby Rafael story, we will also post some grandpa life story, because even an old-man life story could be compared to today's way of life. 

In October 2020 Rafael was in Dream Wold. Hereunder are some photo that his mum took 

Anyhow these are the photos that I have been able to upload, but there are more. 

Rafael birthday and holiday photos

WE ARE CHANGING THIS BLOG NAME, WE ARE GOING TO CALL IT, BABY RAFAEL STORY. While we are posting Baby Rafael story, we will also post some grandpa life story, because even an old-man life story could be compared to today's way of life. 

This blog is going to be about Rafael photos. I am not going to say much today, because I just want to paste the photos here. 

        These are Rafael photos at his fourth birthday holiday, I am not going to say anything else, because I wish that Rafael mother, visit this blog one day and can comment herself. 

So, see you soon in an old man life story, with my next blog. 

An old man life story begins

WE ARE CHANGING THIS BLOG NAME, WE ARE GOING TO CALL IT, BABY RAFAEL STORY. While we are posting Baby Rafael story, we will also post some grandpa life story, because even an old-man life story could be compared to today's way of life. 

A cradle where mothers and grandmothers, would rock the child to sleep while singing a lullaby.  

Dear readers, the story in this blog, has been modified from my Hub-Page articles. So, you can read the original article if you click on this link,  An old man life story. This story has been modified because I want to use it in the blog, that I have created for my grandchild Rafael. I hope that one day he can read this blog and compare my life story to his own life story. Also, other people can use my life story to compare to their life story.

So, let me tell you a story and transport you to another place and to another time, at the time when I was a young kid and my mother or my grandma, in the evening would tell me a story just to keep me happy and go to bed and sleep.

(In those time there were no electrical device like today).

Oh my God! What did I say? Tell you fairy tales that the elders of my time were telling me when I was a young kid; no, sorry my dear readers I have made a mistake and I apologize, because you see today I don’t remember much about those stories that the elders of my time were telling me, even though those stories were interesting to us kids then; here I need to tell you that in those times mothers and grandmothers had always a story to tell the kids, it was the only way to keep us kids quiet, because there was no TV and most time not even a radio for miles, the only news in those times were in the newspapers, if one could borrow it from somebody that could afford to buy it, the rest of the news were the local news that the people of the town would tell each other, so that they would know what was happening around them, so, people would pass them around by word of mouth.

Anyhow, the stories that these old ladies were telling us, were as good as any other story, and if the famous Brothers Grimm had known them they would have written them in their stories book. The Annotated Brothers Grimm : Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm‎ 

Here I want to point out that a lot of things have changed since I was a kid, but I still remember things that I would like to tell you, so, let me go on. Now that I happen to be talking about the mothers and grandmothers of those times, I want to add that they worked hard to keep kids quiet in those times, it was the only way, it was a fact of life. Here I want to add something else that today does not happen anymore in the western world, I am saying the western world because what these old ladies were doing then might still be done in backward countries today one can never know; I can imagine that there might still be a few places where progress as not taken place, and therefore, people are still using those skills that their forbears have used for centuries or even thousands of years.

Anyhow, let me describe to you what these old ladies did to put a child to sleep, they would take the child in their arms sit on a sturdy chair and sing a lullaby while they were rocking the chair until the child would go to sleep, or do the same thing by putting the child in a rocking cradle and rock the cradle and sing a lullaby, those times were a lot harder than today for young mothers as you can see for yourself, not only they had to look after the child, but they had also wash everything by hand as there were no washing machine, or any throw away paper devises that would keep the child clean, so, they had to rely or their skills that they had picked up from their elders and work hard to keep things going properly.

Today is a lot easier for young mothers, because of the washing machine and other things that make life less stressful, even singing lullaby is gone out of fashion, perhaps it is because there is so much music, songs and everything else around us, so, singing lullaby is out of fashion; for this reason you cannot hear any mother singing their lullaby to their children, I guess it is the sign of the time, people are not born singers, those young mothers were singing then because they had to, it was their job to keep their children quiet even if their singing was out of tune as long as their child was satisfied. You see, children are attention seeker, and they were happy, if they knew that there was somebody looking after them, and to hear their mother singing to them and rocking them would satisfy them and fall asleep. Anyhow, this is how it was done in the old days.

Me and Rafael in my back yard.

 Beginning of my life stories

Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

Anyhow, I was saying that the old ladies were telling us stories when we were kids; I apologize for not being able to tell you any of those stories that my mother and my grandmother were telling me, they were good stories for us kids, since we kids would hear them many times and still we were interested in them, perhaps we were waiting for the heroes of the stories to do what they had to do to have their ways; but today I have forgotten most of these stories, therefore, I cannot tell you any of them. Anyhow, this is not the reason why I am writing this article; because what I want to tell you here, is the story of my life. You see, I cannot tell you fairy tales, because I do not remember them, and people don’t believe in fairies or fairy tales anymore. So, I am going to tell you the story of my life, because that is the only story that I know better than anybody else.

Now that I have decided to tell you my life story, starting with this article, (An old man life story), which is going to be also the name of my writings.

Anyhow, I would like to tell you the story of to my life, in order to compare the ways of living between these days and the old time ways; since I believe that to tell a story and make sense to the readers, there must be a purpose for it, so, if we try to compare this old man life story to today ways of living, then my story becomes more interesting for everybody.

Having said that, now I wonder what it would be like, if one could go back in time like in time travel fictions, how nowadays ways of living would have affected the older generations. You see, in the old days, time seemed to stand still and very little changes happened, and if anything did happen it would happen slowly, except when there were wars or other violent happenings, like earthquake or diseases that could kill lots of people around; whereas today everything changes very fast even when there are no wars, earthquake or disease; therefore, what is new today, in a few days may be said to be old. I hope you see what I mean.

Secondly, I am going to tell you, why I feel that I must write this story, and why I believe I must write it. You see, I feel that every human being has a story to tell, and anyone of us can tell our own story, if we attach enough importance to the story that we want to tell. So, I feel that, if I tell you my life story, not only I become satisfied that I have written my own life story, but I would also feel that I am doing humanity a good service, because something can be learned from my life story. I believe that it is the life duty of any man to try to improve anything if one can, so, let me explain the way I feel about what could or would be the duty of any man, I am going to write it in my next blog called, The duty of any human being.

Our lives story, restarting blog

WE ARE CHANGING THIS BLOG NAME, WE ARE GOING TO CALL IT, BABY RAFAEL STORY. While we are posting Baby Rafael story, we will also post some grandpa life story, because even an old-man life story could be compared to today's' way of life. 

This is our life; this is our story.

So, let us start from the beginning. This blog has been converted to write a diary of a newborn child, and my own life story. You know, when a baby is born, it is the greatest gift that God and Mother Nature could give us, in fact, we could say that it is the continuation of our own lives. So, we welcome the newcomer and thank God for the new life. May God help the newborn baby to be healthy and strong, and live a happy life.

Anyhow, we have opened this blog for Rafael my grandchild, and we are going to post his photos and comments a few things about him. But this is not enough to keep the blog going. Therefore, I am going to publish the story of my life in between, starting from when I was young like him. I will post it in small sections. Anyhow, my story can be used to compare today ways of life, with the life we used to live before, I hope people will appreciate it.

So, this blog is going to be a mixed up of old and new, because we want to talk and paste photos of Rafael and talk about my life story, as in An old man life story, and at the same time, paste some photos and comment about my grandchild RAFAEL. So that we can compare the old way of life to today way of life. I am going to keep these writing and posting in the same order that they are written in my blog, http://rafael-mo.blogspot.com.au, because I want to load this page on Google drive and then, it is easier to read my diary, in the same order that it has been written, instead of reading it the way is appears in the blog, which is a diary, but you read the last blog first, instead of starting from the beginning. So, let us hope it works.

My farm life when I was young.

Welcome to our blog, Baby Rafael story plus
and this post, my farm life when I was young
-

A youth in the farm, I guess with his father, dreaming his own dreams, the picture says more land, this could also have been my dream, if I had more land, I could have stayed in the farm all my life.

This is a wheat field about to be harvested, it looks like that it will produce plenty of wheat this season, if the entire field is the same as we see it in this photo.






My farm life when I was young.

Dear readers, this post is the continuation of our last post, let me tell you my farm life, from my farm life experience and views, so, here again I am lamenting about my early childhood life in the farm, which has been one of those facts of life that to most of us could happen during our life, so whatever I am telling you here is just the story of my life and nothing else. Now we can also say that no matter how negative a story could be and there are plenty of negative in my life story, there must be also some positive things that could be used later in life, when we can; therefore, let me tell you this other chapter of my life story, the way that I have lived it and how I see it now.

I believe that to give you a better picture overall, of what life was like in the farms of my native town of Genzano di Lucania when I was young, I need also to tell you about many other things as well and the town itself, and then the ways of how people used to live in those times and what was happening at the time when I was young. So, let me talk about the town and the population first.

From my memory, I believe that the town of Genzano di Lucania early in the twentieth century had reached a population of about 7,000 inhabitants, in the forties when I was young the population had grown to about 8,000 and reached 8,389 in 1951 inhabitants, and this is the highest number of people on record that I know of. Even though some people believe that there were near 10,000 people living in Genzano. But, today the number of people that used to live in Genzano does not matter anymore, because in the seventies it had shrunk to only 5,500 inhabitants or there about. The reasons for this population shrinkage, it was because lots of people had to emigrate somewhere in those times. The reasons why they had to emigrate will be fully understood, when I explain what happened to the rural community of this town including myself. Today at the present time while I am writing this article the first time, the town of Genzano has 6200 inhabitants or there about.

My native town of Genzano is known as Genzano di Lucania to distinguish it from another Italian town Genzano di Roma. Anyhow this Genzano di Lucania these days has a territory of about 21,000 Hectares of land if I remember right, and about 80% of this land is arable land, and it is mostly used to grow wheat, especially durum wheat; the rest of the land is used to grow grapes vines or olive trees and other farm produce, and there are also reserves or grazing land; as anyone can see from what I have said here, this town owes its wealth to the rural community that produces wheat, because this town is well known to produce lots of very high quality durum wheat, which the mills that make pasta rush to buy it when it’s harvest time. Now even if the mills rush to buy this durum wheat, the price of wheat is not high, so the farmers make only enough money to keep going and one must think that it takes one year to produce and harvest a crop of wheat, so it is not that good for the farmers; there are also other things that must be taken into consideration, as I will continue to explain while I am writing my life story.

Anyhow as I have already mentioned above, there are lots of other produce from the farms also, because we used to have mixed farming, but these produce are used locally, and if some of them are sold out of the town, they are not a great deal to make any difference.

At the time when I was young there were lots of small farms in Genzano, and although the most important and the largest crop that brought in the money was durum wheat, they had to practice mixed farming for their own needs, which I will try to explain how the farms were run at those times when I was young.

I believe that I have said enough in this post, so, see you next time when I will be writing about, how the farms were run.
