PHILOSOPHY

I think that one should share the knowdelege one has got, but on a humble way, not pretending to know everything, and not stay locked in an ivory tower, remember Socrates.Also as Ghandi I think that making friends help to build the Peace of the world. Also like Einstein not only to talk from Peace, but being active seeking the roots of conflicts and wars. Like to help a better wealth sharing all over the world.Wolrd citizen registeredd in France.Critics of elitist globalization, and world u,justice, practice BE rather than HAVE
