What about your reasons?

Somewhere on a road, a woman lay her head on the husband's shoulder on a drive leading to nowhere in the night. She closes her eyes and fall asleep peacefully. A child of few months of life is making his first steps. His tiny fingers clings the steady hand of his careful mother. In the trenches of a war, some soldiers cover out the bravest one of them in an assault. A dying old man hugs his son for the last time before leaving the world, sending the solitude into oblivion for a matter of minutes.

Somewhere in an office two gentlemen shake hands. No need for contract, only their hands shake. A gymnast is making the last jump of her performance. The audience stands petrified. Upon landing, her trainer is tensioned like a lion on a hunt. A child enters the sea with his father for the first time in his life. There is a penalty shot on Wembley. The player to execute it turns his head toward his teammates, seconds before.

A slunk old lady refuses to abandon her house caught in flames. In front of her window a hand is expecting her survival instinct. A team of astronauts is entering the shuttle. Somewhere on a wire stretched over the soil, two acrobats perform their deadly jump. A dog leads a blind man. An eagle is watching its little ones in their first circles. A surgeon operates on the brain in an awkward silence. A young man of 18’s lays back and watches the sky on a bungee jumping fall. A rock star floats on the hands of his fans. Two climbers are supporting each other against gravity. A drunk saves a child from drowning. A snooker player strikes simple, safely, without hesitation. A soprano takes charge of the boldest and most difficult acute of her life. Thousands of people are getting married in churches around the world. A man struck by fate is praying to God. A parachute opens the last second.

Life is about trust. In yourself and others. And love.
And whatever you may add about what makes you function
