To finish 2010 and begin 2011, I want to share a portion of the Offering Lyric ( Gitanjali ) of Rabindranath Tagore:
"My prayer, my God, is this: Strike, strike at the root of the misery in my heart. light Give me strength to carry my joys and my sorrows. Give me strength for my love of useful fruits . Give me strength to not ever deny the poor or bend my knee the power of the insolent. Give me strength to raise my thoughts about the small everyday . Dame, finally, surrender my strength to strength, love, your will. "
Happy New Year! I wish you a year full-full-of good news.

- Wait! - Interrupted the philosopher -. Already went through the three filters you're going to tell me?

- No. I heard from the mouths of some neighbors.
- "At least I went through the second filter, which is goodness? Is it good for someone going to tell me?
- No, not really. On the contrary ...
- The third filter is the need Do you need me know what you so concerned?
- Actually, no.
- then - the wise man said, smiling - if not true, good, or necessary, forget it.
