I was raised on common moral principles:
When I was little, mothers, fathers, teachers, grandparents, uncles, neighbors were authorities worthy of respect and consideration.
The closer or older, the more affection.
It was unthinkable to answer rudely to elders, teachers or authorities…We trusted adults because they were all fathers, mothers or relatives of the children in our street, in our neighborhood, in our city…
We were only afraid of the dark, of frogs, of horror movies…Today it gave me an infinite sadness for all that we lost.
For everything my grandchildren will one day face.
For the fear in the eyes of children, young people, old people and adults.Human rights for criminals, unlimited duties for honest citizens.
Not taking advantage of everything means being an idiot.
Paying debts in good time is being silly…
Amnesty for corrupt and thieves…What happened to us?
Mistreated teachers in classrooms, traders threatened by drug dealers, bars on our doors and windows.What values are these?
Cars that are worthy more than hugs, daughters wanting plastic surgery as a passing gift
of year…
Cell phones in children’s backpacks.What do you want for a hug?
The fun is worth more than a diploma.
A giant TV it’s worth more than a good conversation.
Make up is worth more than ice cream.
Better to appear than to be…When did everything disappeared or became ridiculous?
I want to rip the bars off my window so I can touch the flowers!
I want to sit on the porch and sleep with the door open on Summer nights!
I want honesty as a source of pride.
I want uprightness of character, a clean face and an eye-to-eye look.
I want shame in my face and solidarity.
I want hope, joy, confidence!I want to shut up someone who says: “we have to be at the level of…”, when talking about a person.
Below the “HAVE”, live the “BE”
And live the return of true life, simple as rain, clear as the spring sky, light as the morning breeze!
And definitely beautiful, like all dawns.I want to take back my simple and common world, where love, solidarity and fraternity exist as core values.
Let’s go back to being “people”!
The indignation at the lack of ethics, morals, respect…
Build a better, fairer, more human World, where people respect people.Utopia?
Who knows?…
We need to try…Our children deserve it and our grandchildren too, they will certainly thank us!

What really died at Auschwitz?
Walking through the streets of Barcelona, I suddenly discovered the terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz…
We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims.
At Auschwitz we burned a culture, thinking, creativity, talented.
We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the World.
The contribution of these people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade and, above all, as awareness of the World.
These were the people we burned.
And under the presumption of tolerance and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened the door to 20 million Muslims who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to reluctance to work and proudly support their families.
They blew up our trains and moved our beautiful Spanish cities to the 3rd world, drowning them in filth and crime.
They lock themselves in apartments that they receive free of charge from the government, planning the killing and destruction of their naive guests. And this, to our dismay, we exchanged culture for fanatical enmity, creative ability for destructive ability, intelligence for regression and superstition.
We exchanged the search for peace for Europe’s Jews with their talent for a better future for their children, their determined attachment to life because life is sacred, for those who seek death for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and for others, for our children and theirs.
What a terrible mistake was made by poor Europe.
Great Britain recently debated removing the holocaust from the school curriculum because it offends the Muslim population who claims it never existed.
It hasn’t been removed yet.
However, it is a frightening omen of the fear that is taking over the world and how easy it is for each country to give in to that fear.
About seventy years passed after the Second World War.
This email is being sent as a chain in memory of the six million Jews, twenty million Russians, ten million Christians and nineteen hundred Catholic priests who were murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, made guinea pigs for experiments and humiliated.
Now, more than ever, with Iran among others denying the holocaust, which they say is a myth, it is imperative to make “the World never forget”.
This mail aims to reach 400 million people.
Be another link in the memory chain and help distribute it around the world.
How many years will pass after the attack on the World Trade Center before they say it never happened because it offends Muslims in the United States?
If our Judeo-Christian heritage offends Muslims, it is time to pack up and move to Iran, Iraq or any other Muslim country.
Please, do not destroy this message; it will only take a minute to review. We have to wake up America (and the rest of the World …) before it’s too late.

The North Sentinel Island
The most hostile place in the World: Northern Sentinel Island
They settled in the region 60,000 years ago and receive visitors with violence.
It is hard to believe that there are people in the world who know nothing about television, have never seen a car or made-up clothing.
However, there are still tribes that are completely separate from global civilization and do not maintain any contact with the outside world.
Nearly 60,000 years old, North Sentinel Island is a part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which lies in the Indian Ocean, between Myanmar and Indonesia.
There, it is the place where there is one of the most isolated tribes on the planet.
Sentinelians are so hostile to external contact that the island was considered the most difficult place in the world to visit.
Sentinels seem to be direct descendants of the first humans to emerge from Africa.
The number of inhabitants cannot yet be certified, but it is estimated that there are between 40 and 500 natives.
No matter the character of the visitor, when they arrive on the island’s shores, whether on purpose or by accident, islanders receive intruders almost always in the same way: with spears and arrows, in an attack position.
Gifts, such as food and clothing, are of no importance to them.
This hostility reached the point where the natives offered resistance to rescue missions after the tsunami in 2004.
Just as the disastrous tsunami hit the Indian Ocean, a group of rescuers offered help to Sentinels through an Indian navy helicopter.
They wanted to find and help the survivors, although the chances were slim.
They tried to drop packages of food to the ground, but were met with hostility from the natives, including a sentinel warrior who came out of the dense jungle and shot an arrow trying to hit the helicopter.
Not much is known about these tribal people: the language is strange and the habits are unknown.
Their dwellings are hidden in the dense, closed forest, so there is no clue as to how they live.
All that is known is that Sentinels are hunters and gatherers, as they do not cultivate anything, it seems.
They live on fruits, fish, tubers, wild pigs, lizards and honey.
India has sovereignty over the Northern Sentinel, but it is believed that the people of that island do not even know what India is.
After several unsuccessful attempts to reach friendly contact, the Indian government finally stepped aside and banned all visits to the island.
The Indian Navy imposed a 3-mile protection zone to keep tourists, explorers and others busy at a distance.
Accidental encounters still occur and none of them ends well.
There are several horror stories of how Sentinelians have treated ‘guests’: most people return from the island terrified and injured when they return.
In 1896, a fugitive from the British Andamans prisons, drifted at sea and ended up by accident on the island’s shores.
A few days later, a search party found the body on a beach, pierced by arrows and with a cut throat.
In 1974, a group went there to make a documentary and the film’s director was wounded by an arrow in the leg.
Contact attempts
Indian anthropologist T.N. Pandit made several government-sponsored trips to the Northern Sentinel in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
“Sometimes, they turn their backs on us and sit on their hips like they are going to defecate,” he said.
“This is a symbol of insult to them, as we were not welcome.” Surprisingly, there was only one case where an outsider did not face an aggressive reception.
On January 4, 1991, a group of 28 people, composed of men, women and children, approached Pandit and his entourage.
“It was unbelievable how they volunteered for our meeting,” he said.
“They must have decided that it was time to get in touch with other people, or they were studying us”.
In 1991, Indian anthropologist Madhumala Chattopadhyay managed to establish a brief contact after several incursions to the island, but the project was eventually suspended to protect the tribe.
After these attempts, the local population closed again and, since then, never allowed any approach of “outsiders”.
Unfortunately, the last contact with the inhabitants of the island, in 2006, was not as good as expected.
Two fishermen were killed while fishing illegally within the island’s protection strip.
Sentinelans are among the last communities that live without contact with globalization.
Perhaps it is better to leave them as they are, as bringing them into civilization can be extremely negative.
After all, they may not be immune to various diseases that exist today and it can be extremely complicated to adapt to the modern world.
