Te parece correcto? Dios apuesta con Satanas, castiga al pobre hombre sin piedad y ademas pretende que lo adore. Es un dios cruel, injusto y frivolo. Un patron que se comporta asi con sus siervos no merece lealtad ni respeto, mucho menos adoracion.

La escritura es una larga introspeccion, es un viaje hacia las cavernas mas oscuras de la conciencia, una lenta meditacion. Escribo a tientas en el silencio y por el camino descubro particulas de verdad, pequenos cristales que caben en la palma de una mano y justifican mi paso por este mundo.

No. Charity, like Socialism, is an invention of the weak to exploit the strong and bring them to their knees." "I don't believe in your theory of the weak and the strong," Jaime replied. "That's the way it is in nature. We live in a jungle."

Since we're going to suffer, let's clench our teeth," she said. Pain like that, pain of the soul, does not go away with remedies, therapy, or vacations; you simply endure it deep down, fully, as you should. I would have done well to follow my Nini's example, instead of denying that I was suffering and stifling the howl that was stuck in my chest."

Nada logra detener la pasion encendida de dos personas enamoradas. En ese caso no importan los achaques de la existencia, el furor de los anos, la torpeza fisica o la mezquindad de oportunidades, los amantes se las arreglan para amarse porque por definicion ese es su destino.

Ni su pueblo ni su familia, que tanto lo amaban, lloraron su muerte, porque creian que el llanto obliga el espiritu a quedarse en el mundo para consolar a los vivos. Lo correcto era demostrar alegria para que el espiritu se fuera contento a cumplir otro ciclos en la rueda de la reencarnacion, evolucionado en cada vida hasta alcanzar finalmente la iluminacion y el cielo, o Nirvana

So it is with my life, a multilayered and ever-changing fresco that only I can decipher, whose secret is mine alone. The mind selects, enhances, and betrays; happenings fade from memory; people forget one another and, in the end, all that remains is the journey of the soul, those rare moments of spiritual revelation. What actually happened isn't what matters, only the resulting scars and distinguishing marks. My past has little meaning; I c..

She fell in love with freedom. In the Sommers' home she had lived shut up within four walls, in a stagnant atmosphere where time moved in circles and where she could barely glimpse the horizon through distorted windowpanes. She had grown up clad in the impenetrable armor of good manners and conventions, trained from girlhood to please and serve, bound by corset, routines, social norms, and fear. Fear had been her companion: fear of God and ..

Diego, quien sigue ocupado de hacer justicia, en parte por buen corazon, pero mas que nada porque le encanta vestirse de Zorro y correr aventuras de capa y espada. No menciono pistolas porque pronto abandono su uso; considera que las armas de fuego, ademas de ser imprecisas, no son dignas de un valiente. Para batirse solo necesita a Justina, la espada a la que ama como a una novia. Ya no tiene edad para esas chiquilladas, pero por lo visto ..

Fourth of July picnic. And by the way, that picnic, like everything else in this land, is a model of efficiency: you drive at top speed, set up in a previously reserved space, spread out the baskets, bolt your food, kick the ball, and rush home to avoid the traffic. In Chile, a similar project would take three days.

Indiana was such a devout disciple of Shakti that she had once considered taking her name until her father, Blake Jackson, managed to convince her that a Hindu goddess's name was not appropriate for a tall, voluptuous blond American with the looks of an inflatable doll.

Two-thirds of those evacuated at that time had been born in the United States and were American citizens. Standing in long lines, the Japanese had to wait for hours in front of the desks of the officials, who took down their names and handed out labels for them to wear around their necks with their identity number, the same as for their luggage.
