Anna gostei muito do seu post, e aproveitando a oportunidade de grafar aqui alguas ideias sobre o que escreveu, para mim, não há nada "tão contemporâneo quanto o mundo antiquado". É fato que a tecnologia possui suas vantagens e desvantagens. Sendo assim, penso que, a mesma não deve ser o determinante de nossas escolhas e desejos, mas uma possibilidade de realiarmos nossas tarefas e trabalhos melhores e eficazes, por exemplo. Porém, cabe como ponto de atenção, não sermos escravos e fieis a ela. Afinal, durante muito tempo o discurso religioso definia e explicava tudo ao nosso redor de forma segregativa e preconceituosa (Teocentrismo). Portanto, qualquer "discurso" que impeça nossa criticidade e posicionamento, deve ser questionado. Abraço, Adriana.

Dear Libor,

It is great to hear from you and read your comment. It is very interesting initiative to reveal an artist in each one of your training participants. I would like to learn more about your approach. Are you living in Prague? It is a very beautiful place - a twin city of Kraków where I studied.

Good luck with your projects. I found your profile on Vimeo and I am going to watch some of your videos. Greetings from Brazil!

Great article Felipe, Thank you for your insite, I agree I am even guilty of making snap judgements or assumptions about people when first meeting them.. This is something that I have been working on for a long time. I have found a warm smile when first meeting some one to be a very powerful form of non verbal communication to not only help them but also my self to be at ease .. I guess first impressions are truly lasting impressions..

Thank you again

Scott S.

Re: About loving compassion that creates a better world

I don't have the answers and I am not trying to convince the others, rather think aloud. You shed important light to this post. We are all sum of imperfections and perfections yet unseen.

Somehow I keep on meeting people with the same issues. What we can learn from each other? I guess a lot about humanity...caring, sharing, accepting...that's what I wanted to express, subjectively stating my point of view.Somehow people who helped me in my life where the ones that already were examples of who I wanted to become or what I wanted to reach for. They brought this amazing and very powerful feeling that melted something in me. They brought examples of faith, harmony, generosity, courage, devotion, persistence etc. Their life made me think if they could be who they are, me also! And I was always keeping in my memory the way they made me feel good, inspired, enchanted. On the other hand people who impacted me the most were the ones that shocked me with the way of behaving or thinking, contradictory to mine. They were causing very strong negative emotion and rebel feeling, which in a result changed my way of behaving with the next similar opportunity, helping to cure my imperfections...and teach me compassion, showing that we are all the same in the middle of all what is happening. That's why this post...as a response to those mentioned dragons...

Yes, I agree with you...sometimes practicing love also involves suffering (even if we want to avoid it), fighting with yourself and your beloved one, challenging your fears to understand better who love asks us to become. You pointed it well...only true believe, time, patience and first of all being together can transform people to let them face real love. And some say you write about things after experience when you got what the lesson was about (in other words -wise is human after the loss). Thank you for your comment Raony.

Trick words hiding your thoughts, your concept of a better world come with the needing of convince others to join YOUR behavior, don't think you have the answer for all the problems on the world. There is too much innocence is this concept of love and it's ignoring the fact you can only understand love after you experience the other side of the coin. Imagine how hard would be to teach your concept of love to for this little boy without had passed for all his problems. This little boy can face his own problems, travel around the world, help his friends, proof his values, change the world and still will be full of his imperfections and problems by the end of the day. Everyone should accept how he was raised and understand why it happened to be like that. Life is full of examples of people like this little boy that grow up and became remarkable people. How boring would be the history of someone who never had demons and dragons in his own life to face and overcome. The true heroes of reality are not afraid of being judged by his nature and behavior but they are all focused into reach something even bigger them their own history. That's why I keep saying that the good die young, cause they don't spend their life trying to preserve his own existence, instead they spend their life trying to proof others that everything is possible, there is no time to wait, and that there are more things to be changed them his own behavior. Like every human being they born, grow up and die ... What happens in the middle is what really counts, not how much time you lived or loved.

I think it's beautiful when you write about love, I can really few it coming out from your typed words, but at the same time I see the distance between this platonic love that you describe with so much passion and my own concept of real love. No matter how much you read or write about love, it's only practice that leads to the true understanding of what is love ... Any love can be bounded to fit your definition of true love, it only takes time, patience and true believing... as it is ... love

nice...I feel amazed cause I have discovered a lot of what you wrote, just today, while I was eating luch with my love and listening to him with more acceptance then ever before, even if what was he saying was so much against me! and after that I felt from my love, without saying anything, how close to each other we where, even if words seems to separated us. nice feeling:)

Re: A way of having a positive impact on others

Anna Kowalska — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 08:53:55 -0000

Hi Felipe, thanks. I liked your remarks. You reminded me that relationships are easy when we take 100% responsibility for ourselves, our feelings, actions, words and let the other person do the same. If we don't like certain things we may try to communicate how it is impacting us (and it is not wrong for the other person as you said) but as it occured we don't have control over relationship nor the other one, only on our own actions. And relationships are actually working on us, calling us to become a better people. So we can try to listen what the interaction is teaching us and as a result adjust or just walk our own way. Simple truth but easy to forget. I think we can find a good things in everyone and love them above also those things that we don't like, but at the end reality shows us that is always more healthy being busy minding our own being than someone's else actions, feelings, decisions and letting it take control over our world. Buddism reminds that it is not an easy path, as we won't avoid suffering but it will keep us free and at the end we can learn how to eliminate this suffering from our life as well. Thanks for a great comment and reminder!

Amazing text. Seriously. I wanna share a few infos that may be good for who read this text. A lot of this is spoken in the buddhism philosofy, which i have been studying for a while:
- We build the relations with people and, in a certain way, they born in our eyes and in the eyes of all the people who look at them. This is really powerful.
- Sometimes we don't like some actions people make, and we think they should improve this aspect or that one. But this is, also, another type of relation between what we expect people to do, and what they do. If they act different from what we think is the correct, doens't mean that the person is wrong, just means that she thinks/acts different. But we think she is wrong anyway!
Again, thanks a lot for this text and the site.
Felipe
