The lessons in the case of
Amy Winehouse

The art world and all who enjoy popular music were stunned by the news of death at 27 years of age, the singer Amy Winehouse, who was recently in our country and charmed everyone with her exceptional voice.

According to press reports, everything is reporting that Amy is one more who joined the list of artists who had used alcohol and other drugs and left this world earlier to the other world.

It is evident that in such moments, if we have to say something, it should be words of care, affection, and love for the young woman who has just returned to the spiritual homeland, although certainly this was not her desire.

So, we - especially those who said are spiritists - can pray for your spirit, reminding us that she is a creature of God who needs this time prayer and positive thinking that assist in her re-adaptation to the new life. And that it does not lack the necessary help and assistance to all those who leave, all of a sudden, the body world, to have the opportunity to prepare to re-start the experience now stopped, because the destiny of man, as everyone knows, is perfection.

However, we cannot ignore two important lessons that can be drawn from an episode like this. 

The first, of course, concerns the transience of life, because it can be at the age of 27 or 87, one day everyone will leave this plane in which we live, in real-world demand, which pre-exists and survives to this. Of course that to reincarnate, we have a travel plan, which will be accountable to the authority which it endorsed, in other words, to friends, benefactors, the spiritual protectors that always help us, being happy with our successes, and suffering also when we do not correspond to what they expect of us. 

As a second lesson, we can understand how wise are the words of Jesus in his famous warning about the consequences of what we do. In life, the Master taught us, sowing is free, but the harvest is mandatory. Who sows love, reaps love. Who sows hate, reaps anger. Those who preserve the body and give it the necessary care to the body so fragile and perishable, they can use it for many years, meanwhile they need it, but it will give the opposite to those who submit to the vices and excesses that can, in general, shorten their life span. 

The example set by young singer Amy Winehouse serves therefore as a warning to us all, especially for young people, confirming the need to maintain constant communion with God and the understanding that true happiness is intrinsically linked to an upright conduct to make available to human creature peace of mind, faith in the future and calm conscience.
