What is silence?

strong and weak

Some people occupied with deceptions a house in which I had put a lot of work. And they did not want to leave. And they have not left. At the beginning I had a lot of thoughts about it. Sometimes I would wake up and that was the first thing I would think about. Often thoughts would come to me in the middle of the day. I would even be unpolite with my own family, due to the bad feeling it created in me.

And one day, two months ago, I realize it was hurting me, not only mentally, but also physically. I realized it was going to make me sick. I felt it with certainty. I tried to put it aside, but very often I could not. I thought I was not strong enough to remove it, to let it go.

But I have. The problem is still there. In the hands of lawyers. But it does not hurt me anymore.

And I have learnt something: everything can either make us weak (hurt us) or make us stronger.......

Life is one minute, one minute that goes quickly

Today Oscar Niemeyer died. He was 104 years old.
One has to listen to somebody that old.
I listen to an interview done when he was 100.
He said:

"Life is one minute, one minute that goes quickly.
The important thing is to be fraternal, simple
to relate well to other people
to not find fault in others
to think that everybody has qualities"
