		<description>Dear Yajna,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Remember, God always gives us second chance, if we worth giving.&lt;br&gt;I, myself, would never, ever, stop with what I love, even though I would not be invited. &lt;br&gt;I would never stop loving. &lt;br&gt;Love defines us, makes us better, always.&lt;br&gt;I believe that if something is meant to be, it will happen, at this special, peculiar moment, your moment.&lt;br&gt;Miracles happen, if not today, some day.&lt;br&gt;We never know, that&#039;s the point.&lt;br&gt;You don&#039;t expect God to show all the beauty, in order for you to love Him.&lt;br&gt;You love, you trust.&lt;br&gt;He knows better, always, &lt;br&gt;because He loves every one of us.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;lots of love&lt;br&gt;Agnieszka</description>

		<description>Dearest Paulo,

I&#039;m not very sure if you will get this, because i&#039;m commenting on a fairly old post. I just thought i&#039;d share something with you. Its amazing how life turns out, sometimes we (forgive my french) bitch and moan about certain disappointments, and as time continues we see that these disappointments turns out to be for the best. 
The way my life has changed now, i see that coming to your party would be nearly impossible, well, if i did, it would be at a great expense (not just financially) and truthfully i think it would have been far worse for me to turn down that offer (had i been asked)). So sir, i&#039;m here to say thank you, ironically enough, for not inviting me. However, i am glad i stirred up something here a bit, i did learn alot, and i am glad that you are thinking about ways to meet more fans. If i can help with any planning in the future, just let me know, i&#039;d love to help anyone meet you (even if its not me) because i know what it feels like to be in this position, and i do have some organising abilities.
I truely admire you, not just for your work, but the way you carry yourself as a celebrity. You use your resources for good, and you do not see yourself above others (fans specifically), more so you try to accomodate your fans. I hope that you do not think less of me for challenging you earlier as i may have sounded somewhat ungrateful (which was not my intention). 

Do take care,
Thank you for being,
Yajna</description>

		<description>Siamek,

Do you have the means to pack up and leave your home and country and get out into the world?  

To look at the world through other&#039;s eyes might help you also.  Take the time to heal, don&#039;t punish yourself.  Don&#039;t worry if you are not Brilliant at something.  I think what is more important is how what you do affects others.  You may in some small way help others with what you do.  

Love Kathleen xxx</description>

		<description>Dearest Siamak,

I pray that you&#039;re alive and healthy to read this. Firstly, i don&#039;t believe that taking one&#039;s life is in anyone&#039;s blood. I can understand your depression, and the way you feel worthless as times because of your jobs but i don&#039;t feel that you should give up and take your life- i feel that maybe you just haven&#039;t figured out what you really love to do and what you&#039;re very good at, and you certainly aren&#039;t going to find it by killing yourself. Don&#039;t kid yourself thinking that because you&#039;re unsure of what you believe in or what your good at is reason in enough to end your life! Its not! Do you realise what you will do to your parents, and the people who love you? Do you realise that by harming yourself you are harming them as well? Killing them inside? I know just how bad it can be, i lost a someone who was a  brother to me and God knows it still kills me inside everyday.
 I know a very fair amount about the muslim religion, and i know that especially in a muslim society, living in it and not believing in it is very harsh on an individual- especially when it comes to parents as well. So i can not begin to imagine the problems you&#039;ve had just by stepping out of the daily rituals. It is also a very strict religion, that an islamic person has to live in without questioning it. It takes courage to say, i don&#039;t believe in that, especially in your society and the fact that you started searching around in other religions to find your truth shows that you did make an effort to try. But why did you stop? Why are you giving up? I don&#039;t understand. Can you honestly say that you&#039;ve looked at all the religions or even beliefs of spirituality to find God and have not found it? Really do you think you&#039;ve done EVERYTHING? I don&#039;t believe you have. Let me tell you a secret: most people don&#039;t know what they want in life, or what or who God is. But they do know, that somewhere, somehow something exists, and if they don&#039;t, they believe in themselves and who they are. Most people spend their lives discovering what exactly it is for them to do, what they are good at and what they love. Change your life if you&#039;re pressured- try do somethin you like. Don&#039;t give up just because you are lost. Don&#039;t be so stupid, and don&#039;t hurt the people you love like that. And as for Paulo&#039;s work- i don&#039;t know what you mean by a chemical reaction in your body? I&#039;m studying to be a doctor and i know about the body fairly but i believe in Paulo&#039;s work. I believe in the secret as carmen mention, and i&#039;m in a staunch religion but i believe in love, and life is worth living, and it is. My friend, rethink yourself, you&#039;re not trapped, THERE IS ALWAYS A CHOICE, TRY. TRY to live, and search. Be positive and we&#039;ll all talk about things here. Come and share your worries and problems with someone you can trust, and if you don&#039;t want to, come talk here but please don&#039;t end your life. Its so precious. And if you wait, you&#039;ll see just how much. One last thing, life&#039;s not as bad as it seems, you proved it to yourself- you thought your story got deleted but infact in didn&#039;t. You let fear and hurt get the best of you, when really there was only good and you didn&#039;t see it. Have you ever thought that maybe you looking at your life like that?

Lots of love

see you in another world ( if there is an another world)[/quote]

Dear Siamak,

the only advice I can give you is to go (or call) at once to someone you know and tell him or her about your thoughts. You will be surprised that there are people next to you that will understand you and can help you. You never are alone with your problems, everybody knows someone who is prepared to lend an ear - dare to go out and believe it is true. 

Of course you crisis will not be over soon, but for the moment you are sitting in a dark tunnel and you see no way out, but also a little bit of light will help you to find a new point of orientation. 
What do you exspect of comitting suicide? Do you think this way you can punish yourself for the hate you feel inside?
Or punish those people you are thinking of they don&#039;t love you?

Time is healing wounds and especially when you are still young you will have a lot of chances in front - even if you are not willing to believe this yet!
If there is a God or not - life itsself is a present you should not throw away!</description>

		<description>P.S. You just need to feel loved and understood, dear Siamak! :-) You need attention and care to find the power of healing in yourself. There are encouragements from virtual friends above and hopefully they will be the ignition to light your fire of Love inside your heart! You are not alone, we are never alone, but we often don&#039;t feel God&#039;s protection because we forget how to love, to share the joy of living with the others, we should never underestimate the power of collectivity!
Hopefully these suggestions will be useful... For me, meditation at Sahaja Yoga did wonders in my life to transform it for the better and the book &quot;the Secret&quot; by Rhonda Byrne is also great
. But to have a positive attitude and to maintain it all the time, or at least most of time, you should believe in God, the others and yourself and feel Love and Gratitude in your heart forever!
You have problems, indeed but things can be worse, don&#039;t forget that... That&#039;s why, the forces of good should be in our hearts, minds and lives forever, to protect us even from ourselves!
We are the product of our past, of our past attitude and thoughts, and the future will be the result of our present mentality and attitude. Our lives are the products of our merits and we should accept that, instead of blaming only others and circumstances. We are the designers of our lives and it depends on us what we draw every day... 

May God bless the whole world with lots of affection and purity! :-)</description>

		<description>Dear Siamak,

Why do you even talk about suicide? Do you think that killing yourself is the answer, really? It&#039;s not, because the problems you have now will come with you wherever you go, under what form you may be and what you might become... 
I strongly believe in reincarnation and the suffering here, at this level, at the physical one is less painful than those at other levels, mental and spiritul ones... At least the pain we have here, on Mother Earth are bearable; but you don&#039;t know at all what expects you on other realms. I assure you that life has a beautiful and noble purpose, of evolving, God gave us the wonderful gift of life, who are we to terminate it?
I also believe that you are depressed, we all have our ups and downs in our lives, but this doesn&#039;t mean that we should not go on! This is the beauty, my dear Simak, that we grow stronger and more determined than before to find the Truth, to be the Light!:-)
Just don&#039;t identify with your negative thoughts, be yourSelf, the Divine sparkle in you, find your soul and be brave! :-) Life will reward you when you are on the right path of Enlightment!

Lots of love and many hugs,
Carmen Larisa</description>

		<description>Dearest Yajna
I know that there are lovely people like you and people behavior is not my problem. now let me tell my story:
i was muslim. because my father and my mother was muslim. after years I know that there are many lies in Islam and I was played with some liers.stories in quran were like legends and I could not believe them. I was confused because I lost my god too. I must find new god, I thought that there is god and I must find it. so I tried studing another religion. then I found that they have many lies too.I could not find my god in them. Should I beleive their lies and live like a stupid animal? maybe if I did not find their lies the condition was better and I imagine myself a king of worlds that must go to heaven ( like religion faith). let me tell you a secret: I have no skills for living. I must put pressures on myself to do my jobs. my only hope to accept these pressures was god. I thought that I have a soul from him and my soul goes to the best things (I was really stupid). then I started to search again and found lovely paulo. he talked about different things. I think that he invite people to have love for living and I found it better than religions.but I found my feellings result of chemical actions in my body and I could not accept that those are from my soul so I could not respect them. after months I understood stranges things. Do you know why paula is a good writer? why is not he a good biologist? I know it. because being good writer is in his blood and he just make a little condition to use it. maybe you tell me that everyone can do it with practice but I can not accept it. I saw many people that practice to do something but after all they can not do it like a professional and someones can not do it even like an amateur. maybe thinking in suicide is in blood too ( &quot;sadegh hedayat&quot; was a writer that killed himself and said suicide is in blood of someones) and I think that any reaction of people is in their bloods and they must do what their bloods say.
an actor must do acting, a writer must do writing and ... and someone that have not skills in his blood must do nothing and if try to do something must accept bad conditions and his worthless character and I don&#039;t want to accept my worthless personality. when I can not believe in another world (after dying) and I don&#039;t want to accept my worthless character I must die. maybe this song from &quot;Linkin Park&quot; can tell my feellings:(this song has selected from &quot;minutes to midnight&quot; album)

Linkin Park:Given Up

Wake in a sweat again
Another day’s been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I’ll never leave this place
There’s no escape

I’m my own worst enemy

I’ve given up, I’m sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I’m suffocating
Tell me what the f...ck is wrong with me

I don’t know what to take
Thought I was focused, but I’m scared
I’m not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help, somehow, somewhere
And no one cares

I’m my own worst enemy

I’ve given up, I’m sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I’m suffocating
Tell me what the f...ck is wrong with me

GOD!

Put me out of my misery!
Put me out of my misery!
Put me out of my…
Put me out of my f...cking misery!

I’ve given up, I’m sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I’m suffocating
Tell me what the f...ck is wrong with me</description>

		<description>MESSAGE FOR SIAMAK
Siamak,  I don&#039;t know what you are living through, but I understand it to be very hard.  I am really sorry that you have to experience such hardship, but you have found Paolo&#039;s writings and you have left us your note, and that is a sure sign that you are a survivor.  Keep talking, Siamak, keep sharing and keep hoping.  

Who knows, perhaps we&#039;ll meet one day at some party... How cool would that be!
much love

		<description>Dear Siamak, 

Don&#039;t give up hope.  Hope is what God offers you.  Pray to God, ask for a sign and be open to that sign.  

There is a story I have read about a young boy from the depression era in Ireland, its called &quot;Angela&#039;s Ashes&quot; by Frank McCourt.  He tells the story about how his father abandoned his mother and small children and they were always near starving - but that glimmer of hope and faith is what kept them alive and now he is a world famous writer.  

Do what you can to keep your mind on something that you love.  Maybe you also like to write.  If you write down the things that are worrying you sometimes that helps to alleviate things, like you are unburdoning yourself.  Also when you look at it on paper, your problems can appear different to you. 

With love and warm hugs, take care of your self sweetheart. 

There are people out there who care.

		<description>Dearest Paulo,

I was thinking.. That if you do consider having various meeting with your readers the way i said so earlier, maybe you should have 3. One for each community- so that readers that are used to corresponding to each other can also meet in person. I like Leaf&#039;s idea of open spaces, but it all depends on you, and your schedule of course. I hope you do consider this. I&#039;d love to help- i find this somewhat challenging and i know what it would mean to most people. Either way, do take care. Mwah :)

Thank you for being

		<description>Dearest Siamak

There is someone who can save you, and that is you my dear. I know that i don&#039;t know you, whats happened in your life, or why you&#039;ve lost your faith in God. But i do know that suicide is not the way out. It only causes more pain, and it is something that i&#039;ve lived through personally. Please don&#039;t give up just yet. It would be such a waste. I believe that you&#039;ve come here because as much as you&#039;ve given up, you still are reaching out for some kind of hope. I know life can be beyond terrible, people can be manipulative, and one can be so filled with regret and sorrow that life feels more like an entrapment. But you know, life gets better and you shouldn&#039;t just run away without giving it a chance. However bad your life could have gotten- thats how good it can get. Open yourself up to the world and look around you, don&#039;t only see the bad, but look at the good. As hard as it may be to believe, it still exists. You&#039;re not alone, and at worst, you still have friends here. If there is anything i can do to help you, i will gladly do it. You&#039;re not alone, and as hard as it may be to see right now, everything happens for a reason in this world. I know i can&#039;t tell you anything that will completely restore your faith in God. I can tell you He loves you, and He is there, but i&#039;m not sure if will sink in. What i&#039;d rather tell you, is close your eyes, and remember a moment a joy, remember your dream, and what you love. Remember what love is. That feeling. You can still make it siamak. You can still have everything this world has to offer, and you deserve it. God is with you my friend, whether you believe it or not right now, won&#039;t change the fact that He still lives inside you. Love still exists inside of you. You still have the power to be everything you&#039;ve dreamed of.. You just have to believe- and just say- screw this, i&#039;m going to find way! You are so very loved.. Not only by God by even by me :) And i know that somehow, you still have God guiding you. Don&#039;t give your life up because life is tough, don&#039;t give your life up because people have messed you over. Don&#039;t give them that right. You are your own person, and you are beautiful. Forget everyone else and what they think. You said you hate yourself- have thought that maybe you hate what you&#039;ve become? The way i see it, is that if you dislike what you are, than change. You have the power to! You can&#039;t change the past but you can change the future. Look inside yourself and remember who you are and where you want to be, start to love yourself again. give life a chance and you&#039;ll find out why God guided you down this particular path in the first place. Remember one last thing friend, come talk here if you have no one, i&#039;ll listen, and soon you&#039;ll be free of it, you&#039;ll heal, and you&#039;ll realise you&#039;re not alone, and are loved, not only by us but by God and yourself.
May God bless you, and help you realise the strength you have inside you to get through this. Don&#039;t give up yet. There&#039;s still hope. I have faith in you.

lots of love

		<description>Hi
I had the same suggestion for Paulo as Yajna did
- meet up in various cities around the world, or even better than cities, wide open green spaces, it&#039;s not a chance to meet just Paulo but other readers too, which would be nice; a weekend camping, that&#039;s what I reckon.

Matthew
Thank you for your beautiful words
Yajna
Extra love to you ;)
LOVE</description>

		<description>Paulo-

Sorry a couple more things- you could even open it up to your readers, and say, i&#039;ll be in berlin for a week, if i were to meet, where would you suggest? That is, if you don&#039;t know any places. Maybe even the monks will allow you to have a gathering if they knew what to expect as well. Also, to add more organisation to your selection process, you can have a different email address for each community, and request any applicants apply once to their most used community. Which can give slightly more order. I do realise that this alot, and i don&#039;t want to inconvenience you in any manner, but if you work around your schedule, and your seriously interested in meeting more readers, i think it could definitely work with a little help. 

Thank you for being

		<description>Dearest Paulo..

Thank you for your response. i know that you are in a difficult situation trying to please everyone. I was honestly speaking on behalf of most of the readers who are disappointed as they aren&#039;t able to meet you. Truthfully it is a dream of mine. Maybe we can find a way.. I&#039;ve been thinking, that i agree with the monks that you can&#039;t just have a gathering with readers. As wonderful as it sounds, without an estimation of guests you can easily create chaos which won&#039;t achieve anything. However you mention a party is easy because of the organisation. So if your honestly up for a challenge i have an idea to meet readers- that is if you want to. Instead of having one huge gathering, with no order, why not do what you do for the party? I propose that you, Invite people. In which ever city your scheduled to be in, over the next year, pick 4 or so venues, that are no inconvenience to you. Pick even a restaurant, and get it hired out for a night.. And get whoever is coming, to pay per head. So you don&#039;t incur any expenses for the place. Spend an evening with your readers. But use the same system- get them to get their on their own, and apply in each category. Don&#039;t choose alot of people because it will just decrease the chances of an intimate evening. Maybe 50 people or so. I know that, you can&#039;t possibly meet all your readers, and you do have a busy schedule, but if you work it out, 4 evenings this year of your time, you could meet close to 200 readers. I know its not a 1000 readers dreams fulfilled, but it is 150 more than ones thats invited to your party. I do realise that meeting readers, on a continual basis can also be tiring for you, but even 2 more evenings this year could make the dreams of 100 people come true. If you want to continue this next year and so on, you&#039;ll eventually meet so many more readers. I hope that you consider this- i&#039;d love to help in anyway i can, so just let me know :) if i do come up with any other plans, i&#039;ll let you know. Thanks again for your response.

		<description>Dear Yajna
I honestly believe that you are speaking for over 1.000 readers that sent the request. 
However, in your first post, you mention that we (meaning we all) should try to meet. I had an idea a few months ago, to ask the Melk Abbey, a wonderful place in Austria, to gather a meeting with my readers. But the monks (and they are just great, believe me) did not agree, not knowing how many people will show up. 
The same goes for me: if we organize something, how can I manage to find a place? For a party it is easy - we know that the boat has 125 places, we mmanaged to get an extra 15 seats. But if  you have any concrete suggestion, not only I am open, but I will do my best to implement it.
In the near future, I will put a question here: how can we meet? Then, you post your comment there. 
Love
Paulo</description>
