"I have not failed . I' ve just found 10.000 ways that won't work."

by Thomas Edison

Time and life are free and priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.

“Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.”
by Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Today I read something that fullfiled my heart and made me think.

"If we all loved each other and were true to our faith, we could let go of anger, of evil and hate. For you are my brother, my sister, my niece.. If we can remember that we will all live in peace.. ♥"

So beautiful.. but the problem is that most of people forget fast and leave behind the ones who once they needed.

Thats why I treasure when I find brave people, they are the best friends who will never betray us.

They are those kind of friends who, whatever be the distance and time we dont meet each other, the friendship keeps beeing fresh as the first time: we all love each other and are true to our faith and to the other's one, we only feel love and joy when together, we see the world through the lens of this special friend. They will always tell the truth because the truth, if it is related to them, will never hurt a friend. And if it is related to the world, a true friend will think that is better we know the truth through them than through a stranger. Because brave and true friends are sisters and brothers in soul and love to live in peace. ♥

"The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering."

"The defects and faults of the mind are like wounds in the body. After all imaginable care has been taken to heal them up, still there will be a scar left behind."

~Francois de la Roche Foucauld~

"It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but it is never gone."

~ Rose Kennedy ~

“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world, remains and is immortal.”

"I don't care who's wrong or right, I don't really wanna fight no more.." May we all have a peaceful, happy and healthy year. ♥

Christmas Message

Dear Children Santa Clause is actually mommy and daddy.. Merry Christmas! Love WikiLeaks :)

Coming soon...

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give any more
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you, I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools, I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry, I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while
all of the signs are deceiving

A little piece of something
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you like I do

I'd rather be beside you
Everything we know so well
Tell me what you feel now
Show me what you think of it

It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It's not about you it's not about me
It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel

How can I begin to
Ask for some forgiveness
For all that we have taken
There's nothing left now

Just a little piece of something
Falling gently down down down
No one understands you no no
Like I do
There's nothing left now

It's not about us anymore
It's all about the reasons
That we think we're fighting for
It's not about hate
It's not about pain we always feel
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones
It's not about you it's not about me
It's not about anger
It's more about the loneliness we feel

It's not about us
It's not about hate
It's more about the loneliness we feel, can you feel it
It's not about anger
It's not about wanting
I know we have our problems
But we're not the only ones, we're not the only ones
It's not about you, it's not about me...

Happy Thanksgiving

It's Time To Get Our Priorities in Order
By Gallap
(this is a video made for school about poverty. the song is "mad world" by Gary Jules from the Donnie Darko Soundtrack)

Thirty million people a year die of hunger
Every 3.6 seconds a person dies of hunger
75% of them are childrem.
I believe that the poor will always be there.
I believe that too little people realise how many people live in poverty.
I believe poverty isn't an accident
Poverty, Population, Development
I believe that helping the poor is not always pleasant
I believe that money is no answer to poverty
I believe that when we see how many people are better off than us, we forget how many people are worse off than us.
I believe that anyone who has experienced poverty knows how expensive it is to be poor.

"A poor man with nothing in his belly needs hope, illusion more than bread" ~ George Bernanos

"A rich man is nothing but poor man with money" ~ WC Fields

"To a man with an empty stomach, food is God." ~ Gandhi

The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other.
It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. ~ John Berger

I believe,
that we,
have the will,
to make poverty,
History.
Because,

Childrem born into poverty are more likely to have been low birth weight babies and are more likely to die in the first month than other childrem. Half the world - over 3 billion people - live on less than US$ 2 a day. Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.

6.45 billion people live on this Earth.
800 million people go to bed hungry every night.

An Australian parking meter makes more in one hour than 2.74 billion people make in a day.

Light

My first real desire to finish with myself was about 1 and 1/2 year ago. I have 2 kids. So I looked for help. To be worst I knew someone who was with me for 1 year and the end was the worst possible. I took a lot of medecines and almost got to the "other side". Waking up after this was awful. I still keep being depressed but Im trying to wake up of this nightmare following the instructions of my doctor. I would like to be a happy person again, being recognized by my smile as I used to be once. None can help us, only ourselves. Hang in there if you are depressed and look for a professional help. It is not a shame. It doesnt mean we are weak but that we are in a weak moment of our lives. A big hug for you and may all light beings lead us to the light again.

Love never hurts. People do.

Dead as dead can be
My doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
Ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up and face me
Don't play dead 'cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your RIGHT and your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up
(Why can’t you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I will walk away and say
You disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Maybe you're better off this way (×4)
You're better off this (×2)
Maybe you're better off...

Wake up
(Why can't you?)
And face me
(Come on now)
Don't play dead
(Don’t play dead)
'Cause maybe
(Because maybe)
Someday
(Someday)
I will walk away and say
You fucking disappoint me
Maybe you're better off this way!

Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)
I know that you can hear this
(GO!)
Go ahead and play dead
(GO!)

Why can't you turn and face me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(WAKE UP!)
Why can't you turn against me?
(GO!)
You fucking disappoint me

Passive-aggressive bullshit.

Universe is by your side

"When a person really desires something,

all the universe conspires to help that person to realize their dream...
Don't give into your fears," said the alchemist,
in a strangely gentle voice.
"If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart."

May you have a magical life and only brighten days

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that tehre's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Do it Anyway - The Paradoxical Commandments

1. The version found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta:

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

-this version is credited to Mother Teresa
