IN LAK'ECH.

Who am I? I am what I do. I am what I dream.

When I see my face through the mirror, I see only my surface. I can change some things I know are negative for myself (and for others maybe, too), but not everything.

I came to this world into a specific vase (even if we all are in the same boat) and I cannot modify my ancestry and predispositions, and I cannot modify what this life will do to me.

Yes of course, I think we all decide our lives, but once you build a brick, you cannot control the others.
This is just a short writing to understand who I really know I am: a limited human being and, too many times, influenced by the past.

Don't worry, I'm not a philosopher outside of time :) I like a lot writing. I feel much better with writing than speaking.

I have a varied personality and I'm proud to say that I still have inside of me a neverending true baby... with a lot of defects, sure =)

→→→→→→→ PHILOSOPHY ←←←←←←←

****************************************************************************************

In general I'm solar and predisposed to socialize. But it depends of my mood, sometimes I need to stay only with myself.

I like having fun with nice people and I love adventures like every child could do!

Anyway I don't like too much chaos, specially in places indoor.

I don't eat animals since the end of 2009. Now I exclude any product that contains animal exploitation.

I don't like labels, but I completely comprehend the vegan philosophy (that is far from being only a "nutritional" choice) and I've joined it since 2012.

It started with this simply thought:

- Do you love/respect animals?
- Could you ever kill one of them without a real necessity?
- Why are you still eating SOME of them and why do you keep BUYING their lives (milk/meat/cheese there's no difference)?

Their lives have been taken away from their nature. Human being has taken away their lives, for our stupid voracity.

There is a lack of information on such topics and a total indifference too many times. Caused by ignorance, or by a loss of sensibility.

But everything is connected in the earth and we should reflect deep inside on this thing.

On how different cultures and dominant thoughts around us are shaping ourselves, without our REAL decision.

And it is completely disgusting to see the waste on food of nowdays and those people eating, eating, and eating again without thinking or knowing what they're eating.

Do you think I am just an extremist? Well, see what's going on outside there and tell me who is really an extremist!

****************************************************************************************

I'm really fascinated by the history of religions (even if I know they are a perfect control of minds). There is a highest sense of spirituality inside of me, but I prefer to say simply that I'm agnostic.

Anyway I'm particularly attracted to the buddhism Zen and to the Shamanism.

The anarchyst (or, better, antispecist) philosophy is my best thinking of love.

I really love a lot of different music and I'm always curious to discover something new. In general I don't listen to the opera and I don't tolerate more than 5 minutes things that for me are only chaos or headache (like black-metal for example).

I also love hearing who play instruments (it's a pity that I can't! Anyway I try to strum some instruments and interested on making music by computer) -

I'm particularly in love with Panflute, Guitar, Electronic Drum, Violin, Shakuhachi, Bass Drum and the Trumpet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"I can't imagine people homeless,
but I see every day how they wander without destination
like desperates
they search roots and things
that ought give a sense of their life.
Poor white man,
in your violence
in your splendour
in all your wellbeing
you've lost your ancestry
and now you want mine
so take it,
I still have it."

John Twobirds Arbuckle

They've come with the cross
They've come to kick out us

The soldiers that obey to the priests.
