Have you heard of this guy? I think he is one of the best musicians Romania has, I strongly recommend his live performances, I saw them ever since I was a teenager. That's only if you like blues music of course. AG has a weekly column in B-24-FUN (a weekly Romanian magazine) - really interesting read. This week's article was something that I enjoyed very much as I was thinking along the same lines for a long time. I couldn't find any online source to link to and I took the liberty of translating it and posting it here.

Love and time - those are the only things in the world that cannot just be bought. I know it is extremely difficult to be a decent person whenever you run into ignorants or idiots (even if they're around you) - people thinking they're above everything and having the impression they diserve everything.

Have you ever met these types of assholes before? If you haven't I can guarantee you that sooner or later you will cross lines with such social pricks. The times and the environment we live in make them show up just like mushrooms after the rain. It is becoming more and more a "virtue" to be imbecile, servile and malefic. Don't get stunned and don't get tricked...If you truly love and respect yourself then you will realize that it is not worth letting you being fooled by those intrigant traps.

Don't forget that the most precious thing in this world is your own existence. Everything starts from yourself and goes back to yourself. The truth is only yours, don't get trapped by the ploy of the lines of interests - like the ones from your parents for example...everyone protects their own kids and that makes them mega subjective, driven by instincts and without a historical perspective. Respect and love come from a different source...not from social conventions encouraged by mass-market and propagandistic morality.

Look for doing good deeds, be source and resource and never fear the one that doesn't speak the truth. How do you realize that? Well, my friend...as the old folks say: each of it's own.
