What really matters in life

Comment 17

Today loneliness and social insolation are very common, specially in people over the age of 75.
These people spend a lot of time without talking to a friend, neighbour or family member. They can feel insolated for many reasons, as the death of friends, bad health... These things could generate depression or other problems too.
Only in the UK there are more than 2 million people over the age of 75 who live alone.
These people should stay positive, keep in touch with family or go out with friends.

I think that we need to help these people staying with them and ,in my opinion, loneliness should never exist because it is an awful illness.

Speechless

Comment 16

In Spanish ''speechless'' means ''sin palabras''. This noun comes from the verb to speak if you add the suffix -less to the noun speech you've got the word 'speechless' which means unable to speak specially as the temporary result of shock or some strong emotion. A word similar to speechless is dumbstruck.
More examples of this style of suffix are careless, cheerless, endless, fearless, hopeless or painless.
I think that a lot of things can leave you speechless as visit to a museum, a song or an advance in technology.
One of the things that left me speechless was visiting the Prado Museum in Madrid. How beautiful!
