I admire people who have the courage to live according to their convictions. I admire people who say what they think, in spite of all the problems they can encounter. I never had the courage to do that. I suppose it is because I am always concerned about the people surrounding me, I am afraid that will destroy their lives and mine. I don't want to undermine the fragile security and balance of everyday life.
Yet, and because of that, I have the deepest respect and admiration for those who do risk their lives. For those who dare.And I am grateful. Many thanks to those who are not afraid to fight. They fight for us too. with courage and generosity. they are the new heroes, they open the path to a new reality, to freedom.They will make life easier for the generations to come. Thank you.
Wonderful Magic.Jerome Murat.
