QUESTIONS
We should not despise the misnamed "stupid questions" because they tend to open doors that we open rarely.
Transformation
Attitude = loving and wishing; + Wisdom = learning and knowledge; + Hability = doing and willing; Commitment = creating and bequeath; + Ethics = Transformation.
Reality
They don't lie to us. We lie to ourselves. Even worse: they surely lie to us. But (it seems that) we easily let them do it, which is a rather sad thing.
Vitality
How often I think and I feel that a single life is too short!
Speed
The question is: why do some people are so fast? Where are they supposed to get first? What are they running away from?
Plenitude
Vertigo or ecstasy? Intensity or depth? Emptiness or Meaning? Dogma or reflection? Egotism or otherness? Morbidity (death) or shared plenitude?
Extraordinary
The one who misunderstands the extraordinary with banality, the one who doesn't appreciate the value of tenderness, generosity or forgiveness, is asleep and not alive.
Solitude
Absorbed is the one who is always thinking of himself. Prisoner of his navel, inbreeding is a ferocious poison.
Transparency
The one who criticizes, pays up.
Empathy
To listen, to understand, to empathize to answer properly. As simple as infrequent. This is the value of good people.
Curiosity
It is obvious that "curiosity did NOT kill the cat", but gave him 7 lives.

Harvesting
You might not harvest much unless you sow enough. If you don't sow anything you will harvest nothing.
Emotional intelligence
Being emotional and having a great emotional intelligence are rather different things.
The voice of life
Having the courage of listening to the voice of life out from silence, silence and meditation, are the sources of compassion and creativity.
Maturing
A clear symptom of maturing is the real acceptance of death. We all know we will die one day, but few believe it.
Experience
I love the old in the hands of elderly. The wrinkles of their skin contain life, work and truth. They are like the roots that give us to drink.
Heart
A great heart can easily be filled up with little joys.
Living or existing?
Living and existing are not the same. Some live, and some others just exist.

The mistery of life
Too often, we disregard the mistery and sacred of what we call life. And you can see the results.

Childhood
Adults ask children what they want to do for a living in order to find a clue for themselves.
Opportunities

Knowledge
Knowledge is the root of all decisions, plans, and love; the raw material to progress and for the creation of shared prosperity.
Taking care of life
The one who takes care of every instant takes care of their whole life.
Surprise
Life is the sum of "suddenlies"
Personal history
We are the narration of the I, of the he, of life. We are our subjective narration, and so often unconscious.
Philosophy
I exist, thus I think. And despite of this, I can't understand ignominy.
Unemployment
"Our priority will be unemployment", they announced. And you could feel it. It has increased year after year.
Gratitude
We are running short of pleases and thankyous. The existence of both cheer us up and makes life more pleasant.
Surprise
It is surprising how easily we can make life complicated.
Time

Looking back
How many times, looking back on time and life, we are impressed by the path we have walked to get here.
FAILURE
Sometimes you come out winning from failure because you learn from it.
MIRACLES
Miracles are like stones: they are everywhere offering his beauty and almost nobody values them. We live in a reality where prodigies abound, but they are seen only by those who have developed its perception. Without this sensitivity everything becomes banal, marvellous facts are called casualty, and we walk without the key of gratitude. When anything extraordinary happens, it is seen like a natural phenomenon, from which we can take profit without giving anything to. But miracle claims for an exchange: what you have given to me I must spread for others. We must be united to feel the power. Miracles are neither done nor provoked, they are discovered. When one who believed he was blind takes off his dark glasses, he sees the light. This darkness is the rational prison.
PRESENT
Every second we experience is a new, unique moment in the universe, a moment that will never return...
MISTAKEN
No one is as wrong as the one who spends most of his life making a living.
