Milena Velba With Santa Claus

History # 5 History # 4

Hello reader,

Tonight, a story.

It was once a rich man. He was sitting on a terrace by the sea, it was morning around 9am. He watched his fishing boats.

Then he noticed a fisherman coming back from off in his little boat. He had in his nets five, maybe six fish he sold to first come. Once sales finient, he passed a rich man when the server brought her a coffee.

"Hey, my friend" said the rich man. The fisherman turned. "Come over here, I talk to you." The fisherman came to the man. "Why so early you go back to fishing?" said the rich man. "Well, to spend time with my family, my home." said the fisherman. "That's fine, but you know that if you came home a little later, you could catch more fish and you'll make more money." tell the rich man. The fisherman thought and said, "But what for?". "Well, so, after some time, you can buy yourself a bigger net," said the rich man. "Ha" said the fisherman.

The fisherman thought for a moment and said, "But what for?". The rich man replied, "Well, with a bigger net you can catch more fish, and you will have even more money by selling them.". "Oh yes?" said the fisherman. "Yes" said the rich man and he adds "With this money you can buy yourself a Treuille for your net." "Ha" said the fisherman.

"But what for?". "Well, with a Treuille, you may go up even more fish you less tiring. And by selling them, you will have more money," said the rich man. "Ha" said the fisherman.

"But what for?". Remaining always quiet, the rich man said, "Well, with that money you could buy a bigger boat. And with this boat, you can go further and catch more fish to sell and make you even more money.. " "Ha" said the fisherman.

"But what for?". "Well, once you have a lot of money, you can buy more fishing nets and even more fish to sell and make you even more money and you can then purchase a second boat." tell the rich man. "Ha" said the fisherman.

"But what for? I can not drive a boat at a time.". "Well, when you will buy a second boat, you will be able to engage the world to fish for you and after a while, you can hire lots of people to fish instead of you. "" Ha "said the fisherman.

The fisherman thinks and says" But what for ?. The rich man smiled and said, "Well, if people are fishing for you, you can stay at home with your family." This was the turn of the fisherman smiled at him and say "But it ' is what I do already..

The rich man's coffee was cold.

Invovation Prayer For A Brithday Party



Hello reader,

Tonight, a text, a story. It is not mine but I got permission to copy and paste.

As the old man was walking along the beach at dawn, I noticed that he stooped from time to time to collect many starfish that had been laid on the beach last night.
He took each one carefully and relaunched gently in the waves.

I followed a few steps behind, walking slowly, without being seen. He continued to work patiently, without seeming daunted by the length of the beach. The sun had just broken the horizon. I approached the elderly man, as he bent to pick up yet another starfish, among all those scattered on the sand.

- Excuse me, sir, "I said
The man got up and turned slowly, holding the star tenderly in his hands.
- What's wrong? he asked
- I could not help but notice what you are doing here this morning. I look at you in a while. I think what you are doing is useless. This is silly: the beach stretches for miles and there are thousands of starfish How, what you do, could change something?

The old man looked at the star in her hands, then smiled gently, and He handed it to me.
- It changes something for this, is not it? he says, it changes something for that one there!

I took a star in her outstretched hand and threw it in the safety of the sea and we continued together. The sun was shining more and more as we walked along the beach ...

Since then, I banished from my vocabulary the words "it is useless" and "this is just a drop in the bucket." Whenever I have the opportunity to act, albeit ridiculous, even if so small that much to look at me with a sneer, whether just one smile at a funeral or a status shared on facebook, I do ... Obviously, my movement will not change the face of the world, but if only one person, this gesture may feel a bit more understood, accepted, surrounded, if one person is smiling again even for a moment ... then for that one, it will change something and my action will not be useless. And even though this is not the case, do not worry: at least I tried ... --- END ---



morality that I see is that every act, even ridiculously insignificant to some, have a scope, effect and consequence. Both the good and the bad.

Rosalind Hursthouse Virtue Ethics

Wishes 2010

Good evening reader

Tonight, as I was not only fed and educated, it is my duty to send you my best wishes for 2010.

I'm not going to wish you a wonderful year. I'm not going to wish you health, wealth and all your wishes come true. No, because this will leave the door open to a lot of trivial things and will not give you advance on your path.

I do not want you either lose your money, eventually seriously ill, I'm not completely evil.

I hope you find the courage, strength and will to get up when you fall.
I hope you take the paths that you will advance and evolve, even if for this you must lose yourself first.
I hope you see the positive in every situation of life, even the most difficult.
I hope you open your eyes to what is important for you, even if for the moment your eyes look elsewhere.
I hope that those who left us find peace or, more personally, they find the path of reincarnation to return and continue their journey.

A Chinese curse says "May your life be interesting".

Be all cursed!
