We thank Monica Borile, who shared the following
from the writer, poet, and journalist Mario Andrade
"I WANT TO LIVE NEXT TO HUMANE PEOPLE, very humane...
Who know how to laugh at their mistakes...
Who don't get proud of their triumphs...
Who don't run away from their responsibilities...
Who defend human dignity and who
only want to walk on the side of truth
and honesty.
I WANT TO SURROUND MYSELF WITH GOOD PEOPLE,
who know how to touch people's hearts,
people whom life's hard knocks have taught to grow with gentle touches to their souls.
I WANT THE ESSENCE, MY SOUL IS IN A HURRY...
The essential is what makes life worth living...
My goal is to reach the end satisfied
and at peace with my loved ones and
my conscience."
Mario Andrade
