Si, questa è la calligrafia della mia anima! :-)
Grazie per la rosa rossa trovata oggi in Via Franca.:-)
E’ una via che porta verso la RIVA! Decisamente meglio del cimitero!!! ;-) :-D

cuando uno lee esta frase suena muy linda y me parece que la mayoria esta de acuerdo, pero es una utopia. Diariamente vemos como el poder somete a las masas, en los peores casos con fuerza y desigualdad. Los rebeldes pagan con sus vidas y vemos por television todo tipo de atrocidades, algunas veces creyendo que el fin justifica los medios. Seria maravilloso que solo bastara con que mucha gente piense igual para cambiar las conductas salvajes que los humanos somos capaces de adoptar.

If everyone was doing his DUTY, then there would not be a reason for anyone commanding and … everyone avoiding to .. obey!!
I am always a … rebellious person, inside me!! ;]
I want to do everything in my tempo and ‘my way’! ;]
LOVE,
Thelma.

I do not believe in commands and obedience. I believe in the free thought, dialogue and communication. Between children and parents, between spouses, between countries,…. Commands and obedience are scary words to me – connected to religious fundamentalism, fascism, marriages where spouses are not equals ….
