When you are hungry, a crust of bread - joy.

When you are thirsty,

a drop of water - bliss.

When you are tired,

sleep gives you the highest joy.

To find real happiness,

you must first lose everything.

Because happiness is not infinite.

This is some

certain moments, such as minutes of laughter.

When many of these moments,

they gather and form a line.

I think the poor man happier

what people like us,

who believe they have reached the end.

People wonder why God is pleased

to the rich, but prefers the poor.

God made them poor, so He

can bestow them with something very small.

Whatever it was, it remains

question of why he does not like the rich?

Who created them, if not God himself?

Or there is no God,

or is terribly unfair.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

Recently, we did not say it to each other.

You're such a

This beautiful Indian saris.

Today I want to start my life anew.

I want to see the world through your eyes.

I want everything to be beautiful.

I want tonight

be filled and drained you.

Today, I want to kiss

your legs and kiss your hands,

put your head on your chest and go to sleep,

lulling beat of your heart.

India is beautiful tonight.

You know the story of Gandhi?

No.

On a day when Gandhi's father died,

all night he made love to his wife.

After that, he despised himself.

He asked himself

how could he be so nasty,

that succumbed to petty pleasure

to forget the heartbreak?

He has since decided to make love

for conceiving children.

Want me to do it too, just once?

What?

Only once, to conceive a child?

As a father, I would have no one

not invited to this stupid world.

I have become a mother.

This will be the beginning

my tragedy as a father,

if I invite

someone in this miserable world.

My love!

Please think a little bit.

Is the child does not want to be born?

What if he grows up and asks,

what gave birth to him at the light?

If he asks why you helped

he is born, what did you say?

Do we say:

"Forgive us, you're the product of a random union

In India sperm your father

egg and your mother? "

You know, no creature

was not created by an act of love.

We are all a product of neglect pair

at the time of sexual intercourse.

At the moment of negligence,

when a man and woman do not interrupt

act of love

at the top of his orgasm.

I'm afraid of the child who

born or a murderer, or a victim.

As half charge

for his birth, I could not answer him.

Can not you hear the baby crying?

He in his own protests against birth

in this world, clearly unable to take it

and feed in the world, which

do not even pretend to justice.

And look at his stupid mother.

She thinks that he is hungry
