My time is too short to discuss headlines. I want the essential, because my soul is in a hurry. Without many sweets in the box.

Those who defend human dignity and who only want to be on the side of truth and righteousness. It is what makes life worth living.
I want to surround myself with people who know how to touch the hearts of others. People who learned through the hard hits of life to grow through gentle touches of the soul.
