Some people consider me too optimistic and altruistic for a person of my age. "Childishly optimistic and altruistic", they say. Is it that bad? I do not know. But what a beautiful society could be the one composed purely of childish optimistic and altruistic folk... I love reading, travelling, arts and science. And I adore people who are both intelligent and kind
