Legend of the hummingbird.

Mayan legend of the hummingbird.

The Mexican culture has many legends that cause fear to some people such as "La Llorona" among others, but it also has other types of legends that brighten the heart, and the "Mayan legend of the hummingbird" is one of them.

It is for this reason that I want to share this beautiful legend:
The wisest of the Mayans said that the Gods had created all things on Earth and each of those creations was commissioned to perform a job. But when they finished they realized that there was no one in charge of taking their wishes and thoughts from one place to another.

But seeing that they no longer had corn or mud, they took a jade stone and carved a small arrow and when it was finished they blew on it and the arrow flew away, giving life to the 'x ts'unu'um', that is, the hummingbird.

This beautiful little bird had fragile and light feathers that could approach the most delicate flowers without touching or moving a single petal, its beautiful feathers shone with the sun and reflected all colors.

The Gods gave him the job of bringing the thoughts of men back and forth.

But the men tried to capture this beautiful bird, to decorate themselves with their feathers, the Gods seeing this, they got angry and cried out: 'If someone dares to catch some hummingbird, he will be punished'. And until today it has been respected because no one has ever seen a hummingbird caged or in the hand of a man.

It is said that if you see a hummingbird, it is because someone sends you good wishes and love.

Let's take care of our Earth, fauna, and flora and always send positive thoughts.

Political fanaticism.

Political fanaticism. In recent years, a very latent phenomenon that has been growing dangerously and vertiginously, in a context of high polarization; this distorter is presented as an enemy of electoral conscience and a healthy and mature democracy, it is political fanaticism. But let's start by defining fanaticism: According to the definition of the Royal Spanish Academy : it is an “excessive passion and tenacity in the defense of beliefs or opinions, especially religious or political ones”. For Voltaire: “Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, what rage is to anger. He who has ecstasies, visions, who takes dreams for realities and his imaginations for prophecies is a novice fanatic with great hopes; he may soon get to kill for God's sake." Therefore, fanaticism is identified by the desire to impose their ideas, despise those who are different, be based on a series of thoughts that are unquestionable, have a square view of t

Earthquakes-Mexico

Earthquakes in Mexico. In Mexico along with other countries, earthquakes are very common and this is because it is part of the Belt or Ring of Fire, located on the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and is characterized by concentrating some of the most important subduction zones of the world, which causes an intense seismic and volcanic activity in the areas covered.
