PHILOSOPHY

I like simple things and people, as the Argentine singer-songwriter Facundo Cabral used to say;
"I like simple people
who calls wine wine,
the one that calls bread bread
and enemy to enemy
The one that gives itself entirely and has no intermediaries
the one who shares with me the respect for miracles"
Share , believe in solidarity , in the beauty of looking at a landscape ; Talk to an old man from whom you can learn a lot; Play with a child...
