Sedule curavi humanas actiones non ridere, non lugere, neque detestare, sed intellegere.
Spinoza
“I´ve made great effort in order not to laugh at human actions, neither deplore nor hate them, but to understand them.”
Haven´t got much to write, just wanted to mention this quote above that i read in a book some time back and it made some sense to me. And actually undesrtaning is one of my favorite words now a days.
Talk about days, I´ve been having good experiences for the past ones. It is not my style (yet?) to use Xanga as a diary, but I did feel like sharing some good things with you.
My room mate gave me a book yesterday. It is a picture book by Bradley Trevor Greive, The blue day book. It is a kind of cheer up book, filled with gorgeous animal pictures and simple lift humor sentences. So simple, and so effective! I have started reading it on a train on my way to work, and believe me you all.. I just could not stop laughing! I recommend browsing it next time you stop by any book stote. Trully!

Anyway, I´m traveling on Thursday- and so is most of Sao Paulo population, as for the holiday..- and hope to soon come back to Xanga and share some nice experiences. Believe me, Rio is not only Carnival..
And I do hope to see some of “dveras” (damn, how i wish i knew the link thing!) comments on my Rio de Janeiro report too!
Next trip will be to Curitiba- South Brazil- and I´m sure I´ll have “GauchAngel” comment too. And who will comment my report on my trip to India?
You guys take care!
Have a nice … week!
ps. It is the third time I mention Rio on the site.. wow, I´m way too excited!!

Spinoza was a very clever man,but I’m sorry not to partage his stuff.
Pray for Brazil.
If you understand men then the only thing you can do is laugh(or cry).I prefer to laugh
“Riso fa buon sangue”"laugh makes good blood”
More laughing please,Mr Spinoza,more smileys.
Please…
Ciao.
I knew u’d say something on the laughing part, carlo.
But I’m afraid one can really misunderstand Spinoza’s
words…sometimes laughing means ridicule and not
respect. Many people laugh at things but they dont know what they´re laughing at…
think about it.. As for the soccer… Forget the soccer…
