Inter-Cultural Dialogue, Inter-Religion Dialogue, and Inter-Continental Dialogue, are widely used expressions nowadays. On the other hand you ask from your readers to build a Dialogue with the World. How do you see these expressions versus yours?
There is no opposition whatsoever between these expressions and mine. In a way my expression encompass all these others. Indeed if you are open to the world – this means you are open to other cultures, other religions, other places. It allows different cultures to share with each other the best they have, always respecting their own background.
From the moment that one is able to understand that the world has a soul and that we are all part of it, we start to pay attention to very subtle things. We start treasuring the small things, the people next to us, the beauty of difference.
Sir, what prompted you to write the novel “By the River Piedra I sat Down And Wept”? Does it relate to your principles of morality? I appreciate your kind response.
That’s the only way to go .We have to open the channel of communications and start the dialogue.
That’s exactly what I feel living in Ireland and meeting people from all over the world. Tolerance has a deep meaning including understanding of religions and cultures, tolerance, fascination. We are living in a beautiful world !
Love to all,

Precioso comentario, llegar hasta aquí es el punto de partida para llegar todos juntos al futuro.
El respeto por todos los pueblos y todas las religiones es el handicad que tendremos que conseguir. Sigamos adelante este es el camino y no permitamos que el fanatismo nos haga dar un paso atrás en esta humanidad.
Un beso Paulo, tengo que creer que algún día se conseguirá en todo el mundo.
The garden of the World is full of beautiful, different flowers. Each one has it own aroma, shape and colour. We form the Garden of Life.

Just true,how boring would be the world if we all were same.?But I think is important remember to respect differences.To find the things that unites,not those that divides us.I would like to know how many muslims,no offence,is only example,would be muslims if they were not born in muslim country of family?All is so relative.
Whatever we may call it, this dialogue has never been so important as it is now, as the processes of globalization are bringing us ever closer together, creating a proliferation of contacts between people of widely diverse backgrounds, which would have been impossible only a decade ago. Tolerance, understanding, respect (and of course humor – the ability to laugh at ourselves mostly) – these attributes of human communication have never been so essential as they are now, vital to our own personal growth as well as to the peace of the entire planet.
Love one another!
Love to all!

I liked the expression “beauty of difference”. All nations are different colors of humanity, when we unite in love to each other, just imagine the beauty of this picture.
