THE FABLE:"THE DOG & THE DOGGY" by GRIGORE ALEXANDRESCU

As for me, how hateful are some beasts, as wolves, bears, lions and some others, who think of themselves as being a treasure! If they descended from a noble family, that's only a happenstance! I may be noble otherwise, but I don't like to show it. People often say that, in civilized countries, there is equality. Everything changes and is carving in the world, only ourselves do not lose the pride. As for me, I gladly say that everybody, beast or lowly dog, knows and calls me real dog and not your lordship.

So spoke, the other day with an ox, Samson, a big yard dog, that barks very loud.

Samurache, a doggy, that sat aside as a simple spectator, hearing their case, and neither pride nor vain whims, was coming closer, to show the love he has for them: "Thinking of you, he said, your thinking seems to me wonderful, and I honor your feeling, my brothers." -

"we, your brothers? Samson replied furious: We, your brothers, pooch?! I'll give you a beat you will remember! Do you know, cheeky toady, who we are and it shall fall to you, to address to us? "-

" But you said ... "-

" And what do you care? I ask you what I meant? I was truly speaking, that I don't love the pride and I hate the lions; I want equality, but not for doggies. "
Between us (the humans) we see it often, and only we want equality with the mightiest.

PS I tried to do an accurate translation from Romanian of the fable "the dog and the doggy" by Grigore Alexandrescu

GYPSIES (who they are and what they want)-1st PART

I will have several posts related to gypsies. I will not write here, what I read through different texts or heard from people, but about my and not at last Calin's experience connected with gypsies. I can not say they're a people, that they, in fact, were spread worldwide and took not only the physiognomy of the people, in whose country they settled down (or ... not), but also the language, worship, habits and even nationality. When I was a child, in Romania, my parents went to Indian films, which in a certain period were very popular there (I remember "the Vagabond" with Raj Kapoor). At that time, i.e. in the Communist era, there were many cinemas in Constanta (the city where I lived almost half of my life). Wherever Indian films were broadcast, there were huge queues at the ticket box office. The Romanians had not enough seats, because of the gypsies, who crowded the entrance with their families. That's because, they said, that the Indians were their brothers...

IN THE MEMORY OF JUDIE REGLER - A TRUE STORY WITH A TRAGIC END

FROM THE SERIES: FROM THE HILL, STRAIGHT TO HOSPITAL I personally met Judie in May 2007 when I first came to the UK. From then until the end of 2017 I kept in touch by emails and in person, she being one of the very few humans that contributed, beneficial, to the change of our destiny, Calin's and mine. In 2007 Judie was an active woman; she did not have a family near her, but she had many friends and many more acquaintance. She was honest, maybe too honest, and tried, as much as she could, to help, without discriminating, humiliating or demanding advantages of any kind. Sometimes she behaved strange, she said it was due to a mental illness she'd suffered since childhood. We, myself and Calin, have put these actions of her on the fact that she had too much confidence in what people say, especially psychiatrists and occult groups with whom she was in constant contact, and especially because she drank too much whiskey. Because this article is pa...

CONSERVATIVE or LABOUR

THE WORLD HAS CHANGED, BUT HISTORY IS REPEATING! (This text is more of a comment than an article, because it is not objective but it expresses my personal views!) The British people have the greatest freedom to choose, but not only they not use their brain in this huge advantage, but in important moments it makes choices that deepen the abyss between rich and poor. Unfortunately, the actual British general elections have a huge influence on the whole world and Europe in particular. As it happened on 2015, so will happen on June 8, 2017. Conservatives will, again, win this elections. I state this, because I rely on the conservative character (to not say, really racist and ignorant) of the majority of British, white natives. Here I will make some points. The English does not like to call himself British, because he does not want to accept that the Scots, the Northern Irish and the Welsh are his brothers. The truth is that Welsh people name themselves only Welsh and the Irish onl...
