This morning, here in Ljubljana, still in a fluffy bad, surfing across various Internet pages, I've found the following citation, posted by my dear Chilean friend Geyson on his Facebook. I couldn't resist to copy it here. Maybe it will give you some hints, why the hell I did it...

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
