2000 people get the flu and everybody wants to wear a mask but 25 millions people have AIDS and nobody wants to use condoms !!!What economic interests are hidden behind that H1N1 flu ?Every year in the world, millions of people die from malaria and a simple mosquito net could prevent them from this illness.Every year in the world, 2 millions children die from diarrhea that could be prevented with a simple serum that costs 25 cents...The media doesn’t even talk about this !Measles, pneumonia and many other illnesses that could be cured by low cost vaccines cause 10 millions deaths each year.The media doesn’t even talk about this !But when the famous chicken flu appeared about 10 years ago, all we ever heard about was the CHIKEN FLU. A pandemic... the worst pandemic EVER according to the media reports.Seasonal flus kill half a million people every year around the worldwhile chicken flu killed 250 people in the last ten years.So,tell me why such a big hysteria regarding the chicken flu ???Because behind this little “chicken flu” were hidden big pharmaceutical companiesThe well known pharmaceutical company Roche sold millions of tamilfu doses in Asia.Although though the Tamiflu efficiency is uncertain,The bristish government has bought 14 millions vaccines.Because of this chicken flu “Roche” and “Relenza”, the two big pharmaceutical companies who sell those vaccines got millions of dollars in benefits.The real pandemic is the huge profits those companies make!!!I do not say that the precautions taken by the governments of those countries are not necessary but if this pandemic is as terrible as the media wants us to believe, why doesn’t the WHO (the world health organization) declare this as a “world public health proble.Doing this would allow the fabrication of generics medecines ?The best solution would be to nullify the Roche and Relenza patent.Doing this would allow these generic medications to be given away for free, particularly to the poor countries.Is it about making money or is it about saving lifes ?

If i remember well, this nice poem has been written by Susan Polis.It’s hard to be in love sometimesWith all your feelings so vulnerableWhen you give your love,There are no secure defensesBut to offer yourself is the ultimate gift...And love can be so grandLike the feeling you get whenThe sun shines through your windowAnd you’re warm and secure...There is no substitute for havingA special person with whomYou can share your love, your lifeLove can be hard sometimes...But it worth itThere is a funny old saying, one that says“If you don’t ride a bicycle, you don’t fall off”What it means to say, of course, isIf you do put a lot of energy into something,You’re bound to make mistakes;And if you take a lot of risks,You’re bound to tumble here and there.But remember this, that if you persist,You will arrive at the destination of your choice.And if you do occasionally fall in the process,You‘ll learn more than if you don’t.So try, and do, and discover all that you can be.And take me with you ....In spirit, as you go,So you’ll know thatI’ll always be beside youWishing for nothing but the best

Life's journey is easier when we hear a friend's footsteps beside us.Life is a journey, not a guided tour.Do not go where the path may lead , go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail. RW. ErmersonWhat we think, we become. All that we are arises with our thoughts. with our thoughts we make the world. BuddhaWe either make ourselves miserable, or me make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.Life is like a coin. You spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.L. DicksonThere is no beginning to our dreams or plans. Life is a journey from moment to moment. Live it to the fullest. G. CatterallJoy is to be found in the journey, not in the dreams yet realized. J. KeaneLife is not mesurated by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

The mountain's echo"A son and his father were walking on the mountains.Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"He receives the answer: "Who are you?"And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"The voice answers: "I admire you!"Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"He receives the answer: "Coward!"He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"The voice answers: "You are a champion!"The boy is surprised, but does not understand.Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.It gives you back everything you say or do.Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;Life will give you back everything you have given to it."Anonymous

A man (could be a woman too) came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."SON: "Oh! (With his head down).SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?"The father was furious.DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for."The little boy sat straight up, smiling.SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do."Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.It's just a short reminder to all of us, working so hard in life is not always the good thing to do ! We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. We have to remember to share that $100 worth of our time with someone we love !If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, i guess many of us pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

Here is a little story good to be remembered as it's always so easy for forget...A few flies were attracted to a jar of honey which had been overturned in a housekeeper's room, and placing their feet in it, ate greedily. Their feet, however, became so smeared with the honey that they could not use their wings, nor release themselves from there, and were suffocated. Just as they were expiring, they exclaimed, "Oh stupid creatures that we are, for the sake of a little pleasure we have destroyed ourselves."As we all know that pleasure bought with pains, hurts, why do we sometimes still do things we should not ?

Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Love never decreases by being shared.”Dear friends,I took this picture last Saturday while walking at the "candles' night". It was a windy night and i was moved to see those little candles everywhere (20 000) still giving their light in their little plastic boxes. It reminded me that, no matter our life conditions or problems, we should always be able to spread love around.

Remember well the beautiful queen in the world is “Mother Teresa”. She rules the heart of people with her grace, kindness, charity, and love. She is a bliss strewn on earth by nature. Hence, we could say real beauty lies in heart and not in the hard woven external body.One must realize that beauty is mortal, soul and knowledge are immortal and eternal.Somes of her quotes among my favorites...If you are judging people, you won’t have time to love them.Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.“We can do no great things, only small things with great love.”The fruit of faith is love and the fruit of love is service.Works of love are works of peaceGive your hands to serve and your heart to loveThe hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there canbe no more hurt, only more loveSpread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to youwithout leaving happierIntense love does not measure, it just gives.
