I still prefer sitting and talking with my friends until dawn.

With kindness,

Dear Paul from Austria;

This blog is the area of real freedom, thanks God we are aware of this. But when I think of whole humankind, I feel that “a Neo” is speaking inside me, maybe he is trying to get in contact with me and take me to The Matrix, yes I am just kidding :-)

If being serious, I started asking this question after listening to Paulo Coelho’s thoughts about “happines”, where he says that people have invented this word after the Industrial Revolution. His words caused me interrogate all that surrounds us today and ask if we are in a right direction ;-)

Loves…

I think of the times that yes I sat looking into my friends eyes over the table, or at a party, and yes it is very magical to do so.

But I like the internet, because it is a connection to the world, with which I would not of otherwise of had.

It is a huge gift.

Were there actually families that sat at tables and talked and shared emotions and dreams?(joking kind of)
Families are so complex and that picture is what I am most familiar with. Have to say I have shared thoughts on blogs I would have never shared at a table.

Querido Paulo,

Embora a vida virtual seja bem diferente da vida real, de uma certa forma elas são quase a mesma coisa, nos permitindo viver facilitando a distância entre nos… Tanto na vida real como na virtual a sua privacidade pode ser invadida… Se tivermos a consciência que a vida é um livro em branco que nao aceita edição, se nosso “disco duro” é invadido, causa a maior sensação de invasão que podemos sentir em nossa vida…Mas quando podemos assumir tudo oque fizemos, isso não é mais um problema…Certas atitudes são mais faceis virtualmente do que na vida real. Eu ja não distinguo uma da outra, e prefiro escrever como se estivesse falando pessoalmente… olhando pra pessoa :) ( sorrindo pra vc e pra todos). Mas nada é melhor do que se poder olhar nos olhos de nosso proximo quando nos expressamos…

Um grande abraço pra vc e pra Cristina, e a todos!!

MARG,

Ca

haha.. i find it hard to imagine how people lived without light or heaters long ago… or without books.. it was even harder for me to imagine that when i was 5, i think that at that age i actually thought that these things have always existed just as my hair eyes or nose always have :)

Well, we used to … drink coffee and eat and .. look into the eyes of the others.
Paulo Coelho’s party gave us the opportunity to meet some from our friends, Warriors of the Light, in flesh. Thank you, Paulo Coelho, for making it happen! We had the opporunity to … touch you and look into your eyes too. Thank you for being there. I love you.
LOVE,
Thelma

In some way technology has changed our life so it has done with our points of view and our perception. The question is “are we in a right direction?”

Is it right to put a human in a constricted cell and give him the internet and make him believe he is free, only because he can get in contact with anyone around the world?
