The distance between the hearts


I stumbled upon this italian text that I found really deep, so I thought I'll translate [I hope in an appropriate way] and post it:

A day, an indian thinker asked the following question to his disciples:
"Why do people shout when they are angry?".
"They shout because they lose their temper" answered one of them.
"But why to shout if the person is on his side?" asked again the thinker.
"Well, we shout because we wish the other person listens to us" replied another disciple.
The master asked again: "Then is it not possible to talk to him with a low voice?".
Several other answers were given, but none persuaded the thinker.
He then affirmed: "Do you know why you shout against another person when you're angry?
The thing is that when two people are angry, their hearts get really far from each other. And to cover this distance you need to shout to able to listen to each other.
The more they are angry the more they will need to shout to listen each other.
On the other side, what happens when two people are in love? They won't shout, they talk suavely. And why?
Because their hearts are really close. The distance between them is really small.
And sometimes their hearts are so close they don't even talk, they just whisper.
And when the love is even more intense it is not even necessary to whisper, they just need to look at each other. Their hearts understand each other.
And this happens when two people that are in love get close.".
Finally the thinker concluded saying: "When you discuss don't let your heart get far from the other person, don't say words that may enlarge the distance, because a day will come in which the distance will be so great that they won't cross anymore the road to come back.".

Getting back on the road

I know I know,
it's been more than a month (not that many of you care eh :X ). But it's been (as usual) a (really) busy period (Okay, maybe more busy than usual).
Uni's semester started and I am at the uni almost every day of the week.
Worst part of it? I have to give up on (most of) my naps! >=/
Best part of it? I get to eat pizza with my friends 3/4 days per week! >=]
Half of the courses are quite interesting, and for the other 2... One is with a weird but funny professor, while the other... well it's not exactly my kind of bread, but I gotta bite at it anyway (studying that it's taking me about the same time I need to study all the other 3 together!).

As plans for the immediate future, I plan on restarting to practice swimming (as you guys should know by now, I had not a good experience with jogging >>; ) , which should be good to stay fit and not annoying, unlike... well you know.

I forgot to say that during these months, starting on August, I tried one of those Pay-To-Click sites. While being generally diffident to that kind of stuffs due to the many scam sites there are around, I decided to give a chance to one of them.
Neobux to be correct.
So far it seems it's working. It doesn't require a lot of time (2 minutes per day?) and slowly but costantly is netting me some extra cash. Yea it works because I already got my checkout twice.

How does it exactly work?
  • Once everyday you get 4-5 links.
  • You click on a link and wait for 30 seconds (in this time, as long as you leave the page open you can do other activities, like browsing other pages on your browser).
  • Once the time-bar filled up you earn 1-5 cents according to the kind of link (Green or Blue).
  • You can have your check out once you hit a min of 2 USD and have it immediately on your PayPal / AlertPay account.
  • Once your account has 30 days of activity and 100 links clicked, you can have others signing up and adding you as referrer. They won't lose anything, but you'll get some extra money out of their clicks. Since your friends won't get anything less by it, there is nothing bad being your referral.
I know it's not much but other sites that promise higher rewards, most of the times don't give you anything at all. It's not a way to get rich, but it works. And for the little time required, it worths the little bother, as long as you do it everyday.
Personally I chose a moment of the day, and do it always then, avoiding to forget about it.

If now you want to give it a try, just click on the banner I posted on the bottom.
It's fast and if you don't have an AlertPay / PayPal it takes just a few mins to register one of them.
Doing so you'll add me as referrer, but as I explained earlier, there is nothing to lose, and I'll appreciate it :)
