"Maquina de fogo" de Antonio Gedeão

UAU,
Adoro este poema do António Gedeão!
Pode ser pequeno, mas é belo, tal como os corações deste mundo deviam ser.
Bom fim-de-semana para todos.

"Meu coração é máquina de fogo

luz de magnésio, floresta incendiada.

Combustar-se é o seu próprio desafogo.

Arde por tudo, inlama-se por nada."

Respect

This week there were three very serious crimes in two schools around Lisbon.
One was a rape attempt from three boys between eleven and twelve years old (the victims were a girl and a boy with the same age).
The other was a gang fight which ended with a twenty years old being stabbed and his consequent death.
These crimes happened on an area with social economical problems very near Lisbon.
Violence has been escalating these last few years in my country and although my Brazilian friends say this is nothing comparing to their country, one can't help but think what will happen in a few years time, when we have eleven and twelve years old already involved in such crimes.
In my point of view, the problem is the lack of civil education, both at home from their parents and at school from their teachers.
You may say that people's economical problems and environment are the most determinant factor for their behaviour.
However in my opinion, it might have some weight, yet it is not the principal.
Coming from a poor family where one of my parents didn't even know how to write, and the other has only learnt it at the age of forty,  I have a little resistance to accept that being born inside a humble family is the principal agent to turn you into heartless creatures.
If you treat your children with respect and teach them they should do the same for their fellow citizens they will grow caring about those who surround them.
I'm going to finish this message with my mother's words.
"Threat others like you would like to be treated"
An old value, but true.     

Os perigos da net

Hoje, um amigo meu avisou-me para ter cuidado com o que escrevo na net pois nunca se sabe o dia de amanhã e a liberdade que temos hoje pode deixar de existir.
Acho que o meu amigo tem razão ao dizer que os tempos mudam e que expressar opiniões que irão perdurar pode sim trazer-me problemas em tempos vindouros.
No entanto ter consciência disto não me faz mudar o que penso, nem me faz deixar de querer mudar mentalidades, tenho demaseado respeito pelo ser humano e pela liberdade para fechar os olhos quando vejo algo que a na minha opinião é errado.
Deixar de o fazer seria como negar quem sou.
Ora eu nunca fui capaz de viver de acordo com o que outros esperam de mim.
Para o bem e para o mal vivo a vida tal como a quero viver.
Comportar-me como se não tivesse cerebro com medo do que pode ou não acontecer no futuro, seria como deixar de viver.
Isso é algo que não está nos meus planos.

Syria once more

Yesterday UN has brought to light a series of human rights violations happening on a daily basis in Syria, including massacres, rapes, torture and forced migration.
This will come as no surprise to any person who has been following the conflict for the last two years.
And truly, I'm sure all of us know there are no saint's when it comes to war so both the government and rebels have been practicing this atrocities.
Some may say that the government does it in a greater scale. That night be true, but one can only imagine what the rebels would do if they had the same resources.
Especially because I don't think the people who has started this conflict to achieve a much deserved freedom, are now able to control those who joined them for their own agenda.
My question is the same as ever, when will UN have the guts to step into the conflict in order to protect innocent civilians?
It just upsets me that the two major countries in UN -Russia and US- can actually make the rest of the UN inactive just because they are the greater military powers in the world.
How many more will have to die for us to take a stand instead of remaining as mere spectators? 

For all those who, like me, love 30STM

Why is Turkey Fighting?

Aos meus compatriotas que não entendem Inglês, penso que podem por ligendas.
