PHILOSOPHY

The most important hour is always the present.
The most significant person is the one sitting across from you right now.
The most necessary work is always love.

organised a left-wing political congress and music festival for 1700 people with my friends in Berlin

tried to tear down the mainly german financed border of Europe between Bulgaria and Turkey when everyone in Berlin was celebrating the 25 years anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall

Teach, Learn, Share
