A philosophy summary
Hi, friends!!!
I wrote this in Catalan some 2 years ago:
Health and joy!!!
It was some ago, this bearded crazy fellow was in the corridors of the Philosophy Faculty, fullfilling this most holy duty of stirring professors who sit too comfortably in their chairs, when the gentle teacher hit with one of his telepathic arrows.
This is the content of the message, translated into English words: "Boy, you have read so many difficult books and you know so many complicated words.... what about making a good summary in this style you like so much, with simple and meaningful words?"
There was a blessing within the arrow, too, because these three points and the words to express them came quite easily. Here they are:
1.- You are not a thing. You are you.
2.- Together we can do what we can not do separately.
3.- Future can be better than past because we can learn.
... there is much hidden in these words, that have been chosen trying to find the most fundamental, the most basic ones, the ones that might cleave a way to reach silence, where fertile understanding is found... or at least some words that open, that do not close.
Anyway, here they are!
Get ready for the Big Hug, people!!! :-)

Hi, Anand!
No pain, quite blissful... but the message was only the playful invitation to write something like this, he's a teacher, so he sometimes proposes exercises.
Important? I don't know, these points are important to me, I do keep them in mind. But you decide what's important. Do things decide?
I don't know why language is made like this, that powerful meanings are hidden within simple words. Do you?
Hehehehehe no, I will not fall into your trap, if you say that points 2 and 3 are quite in conformity with our motto, then you are the best one to tell us why hehehehehehe ;-)
This lines above are just application of point 1, but maybe can be taken as an explanation, too.
Anyway, clock has no mercy, so we'll continue later ;-)

If someone took the pain of hitting you with "telepathic arrow", the message must be important. Why hide the true meaning? Point nos. 2 and 3 are quite in conformity with our motto of "Embrace, Compare, Explore". Please provide explanations. Thank You.
