In Truth this is a two part Post:
one regarding a highly significant International issue, the other a national (Portuguese) issue.
It is for the most part in both languages (Thank you for reading)
At the bottom of the post I address the impending (incomprehensible) closing of an important
centre for "High Culture" - The Clube Literário do Porto - and has an Online petition that someone has been gracious enough to have made and that I thank (I include the original & translation of said
petition for anyone whom should care to help us save the institution)
I shall now address a matter that has been on my mind since January, it is of the utmost urgency that the message on the first Video be disseminated and time is indeed of the essence
I don't usually copy posts from other Blogs, but I'm going to open an exception for a worthy cause.

Este artigo é na verdade "dois".. Primeiramente, e já de seguida, é sobre assuntos internacionais. É uma mensagem urgentíssima, e que surge agora. Está colocada aqui neste Blogue para dentro do que me é possível ajudar para que seja difundida o mais rápido e eficientemente possível.
O segundo assunto é sobre uma questão nacional - o empobrecimento e/ou o acabar de instituições públicas relevantes no panorama cultural no nosso país. Neste caso refiro-me ao Clube Literário do Porto.
Incluo uma petição "online" que alguém teve o cuidado em fazer e que agradeço. Na esperança que a leiam e assinem, agradeço, já agora, também e antecipadamente.

Humanity, Profit.., and an urgent message. (English & Portuguese)
This is a message for Humanity (♥) and a very important one:It seems,
They are repeating,
We should adhere,
I believe,
and You might say.
(Desejo-vos a todos um excelente dia)
I leave you a video-clip just under 2 minutes long a quote some of that which is said:
« (…) this is a message by “the People” to “the People” (…) »
(PT)
Deixo-vos com uma mensagem, um video que dura pouco menos de 2 minutos.
Deixo-vos com uma mensagem, um video que dura pouco menos de 2 minutos.
I also include the following LINK- to a song that at the time was performed to one whom dignifies Mankind.
(PT)
- E deixo uma música. (aqui acima) Na altura foi tocada para homenagear um “G”rande ser, um ser com “S” bem grande..
- E deixo uma música. (aqui acima) Na altura foi tocada para homenagear um “G”rande ser, um ser com “S” bem grande..
O “Lucro” é algo que se define consoante os padrões (ética, estética, moralidade e/ou ausência da mesma.. )
de quem o o deseja.
de quem o o deseja.
Há lucros que pouco ou “nada” são.
Outros que são faces fragmentais da destruição e/ou do empobrecimento do Ser que os cobiça.
Há lucro que é e/ou conduz às coisas da Morte
(“Morte” no seu sentido mais lato e múltiplo)
- e há o outro tipo de lucro.Outros que são faces fragmentais da destruição e/ou do empobrecimento do Ser que os cobiça.
Há lucro que é e/ou conduz às coisas da Morte
(“Morte” no seu sentido mais lato e múltiplo)
Aquele lucro que se tem ao ver nascer o dia seguinte, ou, aquele que se recebe ao ir ao encontro do Outro.
Pelo menos para alguns, a vida é uma dádiva, por isso mesmo “lucro”.
Há milhares de tipos de lucro conforme o acto e a vontade por de trás do mesmo.
Agora se é para o “Bem” ou para o “Mal”.. isso já é outra história (parece-me)
Yes a handful of us in any given place can be rotten to the core.. will profit from the death of babies and laugh as one’s own mother’s back’s is broken.. but most are not so.
It takes a coward to succumb to Averice, Greed and Fear
(all foods of Hatred and Destruction, that awful couple that fathers “Doom”)
(all foods of Hatred and Destruction, that awful couple that fathers “Doom”)
- but the noble heart shall shine through the darkness of those who would do him/her ill or attempt to cheat.
The cheating of the Other into becoming as they, a small worthless empty shell from whence no sound escapes nor light for they are “Naught”, where all is but deception -
- is as vile an act as the destruction a few desire to perpetrate for the lucre of “false” gold;
for a “profit” they hysterically believe they can take with them.. to that small black hole they’ll inevitably end up in…
Long life to those whom are free of such flaws that would imprison their Humanity, who are invigorated through the beauty of coming to the rescue of the Other- is as vile an act as the destruction a few desire to perpetrate for the lucre of “false” gold;
for a “profit” they hysterically believe they can take with them.. to that small black hole they’ll inevitably end up in…
(and themselves),
- through LOVE.
May they prosper and multiply.
- to all i wish a nice day
