I am the baby in the black and white picture, the year 1955
Thank you for sending wishes on my birthday and thank you in advance for those who will. Time flies. What has been done, what are the plans to do with the remaining kilometers that God will give?
Because let’s go, all mankind is satisfied with the fact that we all have to leave this transitory land. No one is an exception.
So what is it that some will continue to do evil, some will continue to accept that they are experts and liars calling for disaster, but they will end up in the lower ranks? They and the experts in insulting people do not care about generations, they do not even dare to bear the name given by the birth parents.
Where are all those who have gone before us, whether famous or unknown? In the Democracy of Peace that will come like a thief when the time comes for you to leave this transitory land.
As for me, even if I am gone tomorrow, I will have accomplished a lot and I will leave a lot of work as a good legacy for the Malagasy generation without exception. So please read the following and then think deeply about them.
THE ZOKIOLONA. Those born in the years 1940-1950-1960
We grew up in the 1950s-1960s-1970s. We studied in the 1960s-1970s-1980s. We were together in the 1970-1980-1990 years. Some of us got married and saw and traveled the world in the 1970s-1980s-1990s.
We were proud of the world in the 1980-1990s. We got serious in 2000. We got wise in 2010. And now we’re on our way to 2020.
In fact, we went through ten years (“Decades”) times and centuries (“Centuries”) two different Millennials (“Millennials”) are also two different ones.
Lived on the phone with a human voice transmitting (“Operators”) when we called anywhere abroad, even around the world.
I have seen and watched black and white slides to color videos in the «Youtube» 4K; listened to music on a shiny disc («Vinyl») sent to «gramophone»and now music can be listened to and downloaded on the Internet («Internet»); read a handwritten letter taken from an envelope sent by Post and now read a letter in the mail and «WhatsApp». Listened to cultural and sports competitions and dramas live or not on the radio; used to watch heavy black and white TVs, and now favors flat HD TVs.
Lined up with them “Video Clubs” these are us and this is a movie on Netflix. We saw the first computer that produced cardboard paper (“Punched Cards”); We used the K7 and floppy discs and now we are “play” giga octets (GO) through computers and smart phones.
He wore a dog-eared shirt and pants, shoes «Oxford» and shorts “Bermuda” and “Elephant feet”and «volo brown», etc. we.
Prevention of chronic diseases in children of minors (“infantile paralysis”), tuberculosis, polio, the “meningitis”swine and bird flu and the recent Covid-19.
We walked, biked, walked “skate board”motorbikes, petrol cars, diesel cars, and soon driving cars “hybrids” or a 100% electric car.
Yes, we have been through many things and events and it can be said that we have had a wonderful life as people born in the 1950s, who have gone through an analog childhood and a digital adult life!…
In that life, there was no question of nationality between us, we were all friends and Malagasy! Love and Respect each other.
We are the ones who can be said to have seen everything under the sun, literally lived and witnessed more than any other human being. “generation” we exist in all walks of life. The “generation”-we could literally experience the “CHANGE”.
I personally congratulate us for that “generation” that, which is unique and will be unique in the world from now on.
Here is a precious and very true message from a friend of mine:
TIME DOESN’T STOP NO MATTER HOW YOU CHANGE
Life is Homework (“Duty”) which we took home. If you look… it’s already six in the evening; if you look… it’s already friday.
If you look … the month is over; when you look… the years are over, when you look… 50, 60 and 70 years have passed!
When you look…no one knows where our friends are anymore. When you look at it… we lost the love of our life and now it’s too late to look back later…
Don’t stop doing something you love because of lack of time. Always have someone stay by your side, because your child is no longer yours, and you have to do something with the time you have left, a time that can only be enjoyed with regular friends. That’s the time, never coming back, unfortunately…
Today is the day! It’s not our year to be late, no matter what!
I hope you had time to read this post. If you like it, share it now.
Because, if you wait until later, you will find that you will never have time to share it! But we:
• Always be empathetic
• Always stand together Brothers
• Always a friend
Compare with your old friends.
Don’t leave it behind!
