Description:
Desiderata - Max Ehrmann Another inspirational poem set to music ;) if you like this check out my other vids, feel free to comment. Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

@Evildounut78 (please read the first two comments before reading this) Through educations and discussion, we can sow seeds of Pride in the mind of these people, in order to teach them that there will never, never, never, be just only one opinion. And History can prove it! Then I may be wrong, but I carry on thinking it for the time being, because there are too few people who have tried until now. We haven't tried it yet, so why do you think it's already lost?

@Evildounut78 (read my first comment) And vice versa. That's the problem: nowadays people are claiming that believers will never get on well because of massacres and killings since the beginning of the History of our species. But the situation is (a bit) better than before: there are PROPORTIONATELY less crimes; nowadays we think there more of them because of newspapers and televisions, which expose these acts of violence all the time. (read the last comment)

@Evildounut78 I know a jew and a catholic who get on very well. They have explained me that every one has his own interpretation of history and life, but that it's not a reason to force each other to believe like them. At best human beings can discuss to have larger ideas about what people can think. Then I may be an utopian nut, but I know that a dream similar to mine is possible. You have decided it won't be possible because you did'nt try to understand these believers.

@Protheeus Many of us share your beautiful dream. Let's all keep dreaming, and one day It won't be a dream anymore... :)

@TheSquareGamers ...
@TheSquareGamers thanks for supporting my opinion. I agree: my comment probably make me look an unrealistic whiner; but I just wanted to say that we can live in peace with each other, provided that everybody play the games. Then people can think what they want to believe, and I force nobody to be agree with my point of view. As TheSquareGamers said, if you're not interested by these discussions, just close you eyes and listen to that beautiful adagio.
