Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
The current mission is to see as much as possible, to share, to learn and to change continously
ABOUT ME
I'm a social scientist, the typical idealist, politically and socially committed and totally convinced that things can change if all of us believe is possible.
I'm also a happy person with no permanent residence but with strong bonds towards the people I've met along the road and the places I've called home.
I hate borders, I dont like the people who create them neither the ones who defend them (specially by choice). I believe in the non violent actions and in the pacific civil resistance as a way of promoting changes. I believe in argumentation, I want to believe that "the pen is mightier than the sword".
PHILOSOPHY
is briefly summarize in a quote from el quixote:
"el que lee mucho y anda mucho, ve mucho y sabe mucho"
and another one from Kundera
"The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting"
