WELCOME TO THE S'WORLD
hello, folk I am happy to share with you my thoughts and experiences; however, beware! It may, change your life forever, so be careful with what you read.

 What can I know? What should I do? What may I hope? what is real? What is freedom, and do we have it? So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know that we have the key, because of our tendency to SETTLE. However, the truth shall set you free. This is what I think about SETTLING:

 Still worse than the conviction of a NO is the uncertainty of a maybe and the disillusion of ALMOST. It is almost that bothers me, that saddens me. It kills me to reflect on everything that could have been and has not. He who has almost won is still playing, he who has almost passed is still studying, he who has almost died is still living, and he who has almost loved has never loved. It is enough to think of the opportunities that slipped through fingers – in the chances that get lost because of fear, in the ideas that will never leave the paper because of that cursed habit of settling. I wonder sometimes what leads us to choose a lukewarm life, or better yet, I don't wonder… I object. The answer I know by heart and is printed on distant and cold smiles and laxed hugs. Cowardice is plenty, courage lacks in the pursuit of happiness. Passion burns, love goes mad, desire betrays. Maybe those were good reasons to decide between happiness and pain, to feel nothing – but they are not. If virtue were really the middle term, the sea would not have waves, the days would be cloudy and the rainbow would be ashes. Nothing doesn't light up, it doesn't inspire, it doesn't afflict nor calm, it just enlarges the emptiness that each one brings inside of him. It's not that faith moves mountains, nor that all of the stars can be reached. For the things that cannot be changed there's only patience. People prefer defeat since they do not foresee victory. From this nearsightedness, people waste opportunities to achieve. For mistakes there is forgiveness; for failures, chance; for impossible loves, time. It advances to surround an empty heart or to save a soul. A romance whose end is instantaneous or painless is not a romance. Don't suppress your desires. Don't allow fear of the unknown to impede your progress. Distrust destiny and believe in yourself. Spend more hours accomplishing than dreaming, doing than drifting and living than waiting. Although one who almost dies is alive, one who almost lives is already DEAD.

Pensem nisso...

Ainda pior que a convicção do não e a incerteza do

talvez é a desilusão de um quase. É o quase que me

incomoda, que me entristece, que me mata trazendo tudo

que poderia ter sido e não foi. Quem quase ganhou

ainda joga,quem quase passou ainda estuda, quem quase

morreu está vivo, quem quase amou não amou.

Basta pensar nas oportunidades que escaparam pelos

dedos, nas chances que se perdem por medo, nas idéias

que nunca sairão do papel por essa maldita mania de

viver no outono.

Pergunto-me, às vezes, o que nos leva a escolher uma

vida morna; ou melhor não me pergunto, contesto. A

resposta eu sei de cór, está estampada na distância e

frieza dos sorrisos, na frouxidão dos abraços, na

indiferença dos "Bom dia", quase que sussurrados.

Sobra covardia e falta coragem até pra ser feliz. A

paixão queima, o amor enlouquece, o desejo trai.

Talvez esses fossem bons motivos para decidir entre a

alegria e a dor, sentir o nada, mas não são.

Se a virtude estivesse mesmo no meio termo, o mar não

teria ondas, os dias seriam nublados e o arco-íris em

tons de cinza. O nada não ilumina, não inspira, não

aflige nem acalma, apenas amplia o vazio que cada um

traz dentro de si.

Não é que fé mova montanhas, nem que todas as estrelas

estejam ao alcance, para as coisas que não podem ser

mudadas resta-nos somente paciência. Porém, preferir a

derrota prévia à dúvida da vitória é desperdiçar a

oportunidade de merecer. Pros erros há perdão; pros

fracassos,chance; pros amores impossíveis, tempo. De

nada adianta cercar um coração vazio ou economizar

alma. Um romance cujo fim é instantâneo ou indolor não

é romance. Não deixe que a saudade sufoque, que a

rotina acomode, que o medo impeça de tentar.

Desconfie do destino e acredite em você. Gaste mais

horas realizando que sonhando, fazendo que planejando,

vivendo que esperando porque, embora quem quase morre

esteja vivo, quem quase vive já morreu.
