May the path meet you.
May the wind always blow at your back and the rain fall soft on your fields.
And until we meet again, may the Future smile on you constantly.
May you live as long as you want and may you always be able to live fully.
Always remember to forget the things that made you sad, but never forget to remember the ones that made you happy.
Always remember to forget the friends who turned out to be false, but never forget to remember those who remained faithful.
Always remember to forget about the problems that have already passed, but never forget to remember the good things of each day.
May the saddest day in your future be no worse than the happiest day in your past.
May the roof never fall on you and may the friends gathered under it never leave.
May you always have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night, and may the way always open at your door.

May you always have warm words in a cold evening, a full moon in a dark night, and may the way always open at your

May you live a hundred years, with an extra year to repent.
May the Future keep you in its “hands” and don’t squeeze its fingers too much.
May your neighbors respect you, problems leave you, your friends accompany you, and your health does not fail you.
And may the fate of the Celtic hills embrace you.
May you never regret being born.
May your conscience be light and your heart heavy with friendship and love.
May good luck pursue you, and each day and night you have walls against the wind, a roof from the rain, drinks by the fire, laughter that comforts those you love, and that your heart may be filled with everything you desire.
May you see your children’s children, may your misfortune be brief and leave you rich with longing. May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.
May you have many years of life, pursuing Friendship, Solidarity, and Peace among all Human Beings…
…and so be it every year, forever!

A must-see film. Reid Miller’s performance is astonishing and Mark Wahlberg too.

The only tiny detail that it could make it even better is a bit flaws during the story telling… But it still ca brings us to our knees with this true story.

And it made me write something about one of humanities worst nature, not accepting the diference… Sad but still so damn true…

One of the biggest scourges at school is bullying. The difficulty that human beings have in accepting the difference is something that transcends me. Why do we all have to be the same? Why is the supposed normality established in society? What is it really like to be normal?
Everything that escapes the conception of a hypocritical, selfish and individualistic society, which is governed by social position, not looking to talent, to the struggle for personal achievement where sometimes difficulties are disqualified, but by the need to focus at any cost, destroys many a dreams, many struggles and unfortunately many lives.
Some people have become parasites, as they tend to live with the urge to be known at all costs, whether for the values ​​he has, good and bad, or for the prominence of power, which adds nothing to their existence, just inflating their pedantry. They have nothing to give, but they think they are all that others need.
Unfortunately, and with the dawn of the Internet, of the idea of ​​a global village, of the union of all, the reverse side of the coin was and is being very hard. Each time an individual centrism is denoted, each one sees himself as better than the other, that only what he/she says and writes is the absolute truth, where opinion becomes the rule… And with all the risks that this entails, if lives are lost, the supposed normality is further delimited.
Normal is a person to be happy, normal is a person to live with others, normal is to live in line with nature, normal is to respect, normal is to live and let live, normal is to fight for human rights, normal is a powerful word that only it must so simply mean openness and respect.
Let us live our lives and let each other live theirs.
Respect, tolerance, acceptance, friendship, will… Words that must be part of each one of us.
Let us be happy in our oneness. We are unique and in this way we make humanity brighter and more beautiful.

Old Chinese advice

On By estrangedztIn lifeLeave a comment
Once upon a time there was a Chinese peasant, very poor but wise, who worked the land hard with his son. One day the son said to him: “Father, what a disgrace, our horse has run away.”
“Why do you call it a disgrace?” replied the father. “We’ll see what time brings us.”
After a few days the horse returned accompanied by a beautiful wild mare. “Dad, how lucky.” exclaimed the boy.
“Our horse brought another.”
“Why do you call it luck?” replied the father. “We’ll see what time brings us.”
A few days later the boy wanted to ride the new horse, but this one, not used to the saddle, reared up and laid him on the ground.
In the fall, the boy broke his leg. “Father, what a disgrace, I broke my leg.” The father, taking up his experience and wisdom, said: “Why do you call it a disgrace? We’ll see what time brings us.”
The boy was not convinced of his father’s philosophy. A few days later, the king’s envoys passed through the village looking for young men to take to war. They went to the old man’s house, saw the weakened young man and left him on his way.
The young man then understood that one must never give either misfortune or fortune as absolutes, but that, in order to know if something is bad or good, it is necessary to give it time.
The moral of this Ancient Chinese Council is: Life takes so many turns and is so paradoxal in its course that both bad can become good and good can become bad.
So let’s wait for tomorrow with Joy and let’s live today in Fulness.
Have yourself a happy day!

The Suicide Squad

James Gunn did it… This is the R-rated true version of this amazingly distorted squad taken to the screens.

You have the Mortal Kombat fatalities gore in all it’s bloody glory, you find some jokes hidden within and also the biggest squad ensemble… It’s weird, it’s funny, it’s action and it’s one hell of a great two hours movie!

So, go watch it and get into this beautifully grotesque squad!

If rats have a purpose, so do we all.

A tight hug…

On By estrangedztIn health, lifeLeave a comment
Hug…
It’s a show of affection,
Tenderness and a lot of love!
It’s longing and tear,
But it’s also heat.
Hug is love
It’s wanting to cuddle
It’s feeling a friend
With all your attachment.
We can hug
One cause, one person.
Hug is hug:
is to belt and encircle
It’s not feeling space.
Embrace a cause
It’s what makes us feel
That whoever fights believes
And will never give up
Hug a child
It’s to convey affection,
It’s telling with arms
That it will never be alone.
Hug a friend
With all the fraternity
It’s like saying I’m here!
For all eternity.
Hug a great love
With all understanding
It unties all knots
And make a bond of union.
So let’s hug
A child, a cause,
A friend and our love?
It costs so little to hug…
Believe me, it doesn’t hurt!
“If we could be aware of how fleeting our lives are, maybe we would think twice about throwing away the opportunities we have to be and to make others happy!”

Just one more recommendation…

Whoever you are, you’re in the middle.
There are people in front of you and people behind you.

Remember:
“Whoever plants, reaps.”

What you put into other people’s lives will come back to you.
