About the author

Valentina Isaza is a Colombian who live in Bogota and study on the school Gimnasio Fontana. She wrote this essay to reflect how interaction, obedience and cooperation are related in to life and also how you could you turn them in to it.

CHAPTER ONE

When God creates the world, day, night, earth, oceans, animals, plants, mountains, he also creates men. But he realizes that men cannot be alone in this world. He needs help to perform God’s plan. So he creates women, so they together can develop his plan, have children and populate the world. Therefore, since the beginning of all times cooperation, obedience and interaction with others are part of living in community, part of building a family, part of being a good human being, living together to make this society a better place to live in, and obeying the rules of society as well as the rules of God.

what makes us interact from the beginning.

CHAPTER TWO

Cooperation by definition is to work together with another person. When we are able to accept other people ideas, to be able to work in a team and understand that you do not have all the right answers, then you are growing up as a human be ing . You a re a l l ow ing yourself to learn about other people ideas that will enrich you and will help you to develop within the society you live in; and then help others.

Caption: Work together to achieve a goal. Accept others

ideas so they can accept yours and don't forget, differences is

what make us unique.

CHAPTER THREE

We have to understand that when we live in community, and even within our family we have to contribute in making God’s plan a reality. We have to love each other as much as we love ourselves. Only when we do this honestly, we then have our hearts open to be able to help others and accept other’s help without egoism, or feeling that we need no one because we are auto sufficient. Well, guess what, everybody needs someone in a some situation in our lives: when you start to walk and talk, your first bike ride, when you started to read, when you are sick, and so on. Receiving and giving, cooperating with each others makes this society to be more tolerant with each other and to develop as human beings having always our hearts and arms open.

Caption: Being sick or sad are the most beautiful ways on which you can be cooperative. Give good tips or help people who can even move

a finger. Also is a good way to interact with others and understand

that they are different than you.

CHAPTER FOUR

Interacting with others is part of life. We do not came to this world to be by ourselves. If so, God’s creation would have being different. Even animals has its mate. We need to communicate with our family, our classmates, our teachers, our friends, to have a happy life. When you interact with others, you are learning from other experiences and that makes you see some situations in life from another perspective. In this world, you need to relate with others, but need to do it in a respectful way so that you and others feel comfortable and happy. If we want to contribute with God’s plan we cannot interact by hurting, offending, manipulating others to serve your own interests; when you work for others and your interests but with justice, you are improving your capabilities of interacting with others and then living the right way in your community and family.   

Caption: Here it is reflected how do people can react for our opinion,

ideas or even our differences. That’s why we need to understand the needs of other people, ideas, points of view and also the most

important, differences.

CHAPTER FIVE

All this attitudes of being cooperative, interact with respect with others, obey the rules, love each other, forgive each other, makes you a better person. When you realize that you cannot be alone, that you need others to complement yourself, that you need to love so that you can understand other persons needs, that you need to forgive and as to be forgiven to feel peace, only and only then, you are ready to live in community and accept others.

Caption: Being cooperative with the oldest ones is such as beautiful because make us assess

peoples thoughts even of the oldest ones. Also you are interacting with them because you are

listening and start feeling love.

CHAPTER SIX

Lets imagine for an instance a world where people do not care for each other. A world where people just care about their own needs, life and success. What would happen when something arise where you do not know the answer, or where you just do not know how to solve a problem? If you do not build good relationships, how would you be able to ask for help? if you do not interact with respect with others, how would you be able to ask for respect? You have to care for others, help others, build a life with others, to be able to ask for help, to have a friendly hand that can help you to stand up again, to have a better life.

Caption: Being alone is not a option of became a good human being. Is worst because if you are alone you would never understand whats wrong and good. You

need to accept and thanks for people that is giving you help.

CHAPTER SEVEN

All this requires commitment. You have to commit to yourself and to others. When we live in community you are obliged to comply with the rules you live in. You need to understand them and give example to the young people so they grow up learning to interact with others with respect. Sometimes when people are not acting accordingly or you know they are violating the rules, or hurting others, you need to speak up, you need to intervene respectfully and try to make them understand the consequences of acting against the rules of society.

Caption: If you see that someone is doing

something wrong that is cooperation, because you are giving cooperation to

the society of being a good person and to the person

that was being hurt of another one.

CHAPTER EIGHT

Therefore, when you make your own exam of how you have being behaving within the community you live in, the first question you should ask yourself is : have I rejected someone ? have I pass over someone to achieve my goals ? have I actually ignore my friends when they cry for help? If the answers to these questions is YES, you have to look deep in your heart and evaluate your priorities in life. You are wrong. You then believe that you do not need anybody. Everyone needs someone.

Caption: Help other people that need it, there are so many people of this world that need help and they are not being listening. interact with the

people that need you.

CHAPTER NINE

When we understand that to support God’s creation you need to learn to live in community accepting every one, being tolerant, obeying the rules, giving a hand to any one that needs it, then you can shout out loud that you have understand God’s perfect plan, that you are not alone and you need others to complement your life. That when you interact with others understanding their needs you will be able to work together and run the races together and win together. There is no better present in this life than to hear someone tell you THANK YOU.

Caption: People think: first me, second me and third me. NO!!! Interact with other

people and share you're goals with them. Also be cooperative and ask who need help

to complete something. Thats the way of how all of us win and no one lose.

CHAPTER TEN

No matter how difficult it could seem to be, or actually is, but when you are convinced deep in your heart that you do not want to pass by this life, without leaving behind a trace, some people can remember you for, some people can admire you for, or only just inspire a smile in the face whenever they remember you; then you have understand that you are God’s creation and you have to be a good person, communicate, interact and behave accordingly in order to expect respect from others. We all need someone else!

Caption: Interact with your family all the time that you can use for

them, help them if they need help and be cooperative on the works at

home.
