about

I condemn the politicians, the decision makers and those who choose self-enrichment over integrity, and I I pay tribute to those who choose to profit less in order to leave more for others.

I condemn the envious, the careerists, the hypocrites, and those who judge others without knowing better. I denounce pedophiles, those who deprive future generations of their innocence. I also denounce those who deny their origins, because one needs a strong foundation in order to grow bigger.

I pay tribute to women for their countless sacrifices,those who work hard to realize not only their dreams and often those of others..

...and finally, I Hope that universal and unconditional love will one day win hearts over and heal the illnesses of our world..

-

Je dénonce les politiciens, responsables et ceux qui font des choix de facilité centrés sur leur profit et je rends hommage à ceux qui en profitent moins pour en laisser plus au autres.

Je dénonce les envieux, les arrivistes, les hypocrites et les gens qui jugent les autres sans connaître la réalité. Je dénonce les pédophiles qui privent les générations futures de leur innocence. Je dénonce aussi ceux qui renient leurs origines, parce que ça prend des racines solides pour pouvoir grandir.

Je rends hommage aux femmes et à leurs sacrifices innombrables ainsi que les gens qui travaillent dur pour réaliser leurs rêves et souvent ceux des autres aussi.

Je garde finalement espoir que l’amour universel et inconditionnel finira par gagner les coeurs et être le remède aux multiples maux de cette existence.
