W HY W RITE?We live in an era of intercommunications, there’s hundreds of ways to communicate with anyone at any place at any time; yet it seems that the more ways people have to say something the less people have something to say. It seems that all you read from your acquaintances and people are just shallow comments and pointless stories, what was once the art and joy of conversation and literature has turned into a cocorrupted comment or a small thought where people will rate how much they like it or hate it. Everyone has its own opinion and everyone thinks their opinion is the right one, they think man is the measure of all things and that everything is relative.

Is this way really leading us to a better life? Is there a way to challenge these popular beliefs? Is there a way to break through the accepted establishment? There is, the first step towards progress is incredulity, make the old values crumble and plant the seed of truth in the ashes of lies; and although it seems that the strength of the common beliefs it’s too powerful, let us remember the power that every sinsingle human being has, the power of language where reason and knowledge have their home. Every individual who understands his reality has the ability to change it. Knowledge has its birth in words and finds it’s realization on actions, although violence, censorship and fear can make actions fail and delay, words will always retain their power and will offer meaning to all those who are willing to listen in the name of virtue, honesty and justice.

EEvery revolution starts with an idea and ideas can be understood with language. While insults and mocking may try to silence you, no one can delete your ideas once they have been written and read. Words are the mother of actions and words are born within you.

Don’t be afraid of changing the world, don’t be afraid of writing.
