PERSONAL OPINION

The Trees choose a King

Ricardo Vitorino do Nascimento — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 16:08:00 +0000

One day the the trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them;

So they go to the Olive tree and said:_Reign thou over us !

But the olive tree said unto them:_ Should I leave my oil, that is my glory and wherewith by me they honour gods and mans, and go to be promoted over the trees?

And the trees said to the Fig tree:_Reign thou over us !

But the fig tree said unto them:_ Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to dominate over the trees?

Then said the trees unto the vine:_Reign thou over us !

And the vine said unto them:_ Should I leave my wine, which cheereth gods and mans, and go to reign over the trees?

Then said all the trees unto the bramble:_Reign thou over us !

And the bramble said unto the trees:_ If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

Book of Judges, cap. 9, verse 8 to 15

After a long and tenebrous winter, I’m here again writing on blog.

Many were the reasons that i couldn’t post for so long time; work, studies, difficulty’s, timeless, courses and many others, but in part for an others reason too, laziness, fatigue, ets

I’ve not stop to read, i still reading and approve the comments as the same way that i read and comment another blogs too. But despite of my reluctance to come back to write, there was a reason that i think is good, noble and better than all of that, better than to write ! the reason ? to live !

Yes, to live ! It had occasions that i could write, i had free time, but I’ve decide just don’t write notinhg, and go to walk on lake, to the beach, go to a show, drink some coffee or bier with friends, to do something that not just sit in front of a computer and write. No that to write is bad or heavy, but exist a big difference between what is good and what is better; Is Better to live the experiences that the life give us than just observe and write about them.

Some Sunday at afternoon i went to walk on the lake and i met two girls friends of mine, we walk together, talk, kidding, drunk açaí juice, get wet with the rain when we came back, we enjoyed that summer afternoon as simple way but so good. Don’t were great things, anything great issue to discuss, may someone can wonder: why writes about something not “interesting” ?; But, that is exactly my question, why this cannot be interesting ? why we cant found value in simple things like this ? why we want to talk, to discuss and why we guess that is more interesting to read or write than just live the reality around us ?

Michael W. Smith, a famous gospel singer, was asked about how he want to be reminder in the future, as a famous artist he answer:

“As a good husband, a good father and a someone that realize the God’s will at my generation” We need more than this ? I believe that no ! “

I’ve want to destroy the world, I’ve want to change the world, I’ve want to save the world…

Today i didn’t want notinhg with the world, i don’t care the world, i don’t want to be a part of the world…

I want to destroy myself, I want to change myself, I want to save myself….

I want to live my life following my conscience, change in myself what i believe is bad and make the difference at my life and at the life that people who’s around me; my family, my wife, my sons, my friends, my neighbours, ets If at the last of my days I look back and don’t see a great writer or something like this, but just a lover eternally felt in love for my wife, a father who’s can be more kid than my own kids, a truly friend for my friends and someone that live what believe and found my place in this world, so i will be satisfied, i’ll say that my life was good and i can rest in peace.

No, we can’t need more of this, if everyone live just this our reality will change to better !

So, Stop to read this post and go to live !

It is possible to learn something good in “Lost” ?

Ricardo Vitorino do Nascimento — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 21:47:01 +0000

What a tv series have to teach ? is there something to learn from this series ? to me it seems a tiring story, particularly I am not a great fan of disaster films like this tv series. But, watching an episode I saw something interesting, not in the story, in the script, in the characters, but something that is there all the time in front of our eyes and in the most part of time we do not see, what it could be ? simple, the island, the beach, the coconuts palms, the flowers, the animals, the sea…

What I watched and learned in Lost is that our life is very precious, but we need few to live well…water, food, shelter, some friends…

Many times we spend our lives trying to do a million things, when we should just live, enjoy the goods moments that life give us, enjoy the beach, stepping in the grass, feel the naked foot in the hot sand, the sun burn the skin, the cold water of the sea, to drink coconut water, take fruits in the tree…

We should to cultivate a simple life and we would be less stressed, less anxious, less susceptible to the illnesses.

Yes, it is possible to learn something good from a tv series like Lost ! what i saw and learned, really was teach a long time ago: ” However, having food and clothes, we will be well”

To Strading

To Start to Trade

One of the issues that i like is foreign trade, that fans like me call “comex”, first because a professional view, I dont work in this now, but I’m coursing and go to all the events about this issue.

The participation of Brazil in the world trade is less than 2%, lower in relation of others countries, as the same time shows an extraordinary opportunity for growth, year by year we break records of exportation, and the results could be better if the fiscal, monetary and exchanged politics were favorable.

But now i would like to talk about something unknown of the great public.

When we talk about brazilian foreign trade, the most part of people think about commodities like oil, soil beans, iron ores, ets, and it’s true that are great part of our products but, we have much more than this, airplanes, softwares, engines, parts for luxury cars, jewels, ets.

Nowadays we export boats and yachts to countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and others, it’s like to call a Norwegian to teach us to play samba !

Today the Embraer is one of the greaters exportes of airplanes in the world and export to many_countries like US, Canada, England, France, Swiss and many others; In the software business we are in a hard fight with India, in the general picture we are soon behind, in specific sectors as bank clerk and fiscal we are to the front. So that shows the export potential of Brazil and no just in commodities, but in products with intelctual propriety, design and ecologically correct.

For all this and much more, this issue fascinates me and now I strade to share with you, as soon I’ll write about specifiques situations relationed with foreign trade and his relations in the economy, politics and society.

So, Welcome to the Comex !

ps. In portuguese the word ”começar ” (to start) is similar to “comerciar” (to trade) so I wanted to make a joke with this words.

Freedom and Responsibility

Ricardo Vitorino do Nascimento — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 21:46:07 +0000

liberal-economic arguments against political liberalism

Why am I against political liberalism

Because the political-liberalism is the contradiction of economic-liberalism.

Because in the political-liberalism the society pays for the choices of the individuals.

Because the individual freedoms are not followed by individual responsability.

Because the consequences of the choices of individuals are suffered for all the society.

Some flags of the political liberalism:

Why am I against the legalization of the drugs

Because the drugs market obey the supply and demand law.

Because if dont exist the consumer it will not exist the supplier.

Because the market of drugs, allowed and unallowed are direct or indirectly linked with the corruption, the organized crime, the violence and the accidents.

Because in last analysis, the user is the responsible for these bad things to the society.

Because the legalization of drugs its not followed by responsabilization politics.

Because the individual that use drugs and it does not answer for its acts and consequences.

Examples:

The smoker when discovers a lung cancer gets of the state ”free” treatment paid by the society.

The alcohol user when he has diagnosised a cirrhosis is dealt “free” with money of the society.

The user of injectable drugs who contracts virus HIV, receives treatment against the AIDS for “free” paid by the society.

Why am I against the legalizations of abortion

Because the woman decides to keep sexual relations without the contraceptive use of condoms or other methods, became pregant and go to a public hospital to practise the abortion for ”free” paid by society.

Because the free distribution of condoms is paid with money of the society.

Of the homosexual question

It does not interest me the sexual life of the individual, man or woman, hetero or homosexual, what the individual makes or leaves to make is his problem, not mine.

However, from the moment that such behavior results in consequences that harm the society of some form, economically or not, I am against.

Because the individual that keeps sexual relations without protection and contracts virus HIV, receives treatment against the AIDS for “free” paid by society.

Because all the sexually transmissible illnesses have treatment for “free” paid by society.

Because the distribution of condoms is for “free” paid with money of the society.

Because the sex change surggerys are offered for “free” paid by society.

Conclusion

I define myself as economically liberal, and would tend to politicial liberalism if the responsibility of these situations were only of the individuals, the society must not have to pay for the treatment of somebody that decided to make toxic substance use or if to place in risk situation.

However the direct and indirect consequences of the isolated action of individuals if make to feel in all, still that the such individuals paid the financial damage, this would be only part of this consequences; the corruption, the organized crime, the violence and the accidents still would reflect on all the society.

So the argument of that the individuals would only pay the consequences, really all is impossible to defend the right to the unrestricted individual freedom on the basis of the society suffers.

One sees therefore, that politic-liberalism is incompatible with economic-liberalism, although paradoxical, so that the freedom is kept of fact becomes necessary to keep a litles bit of conservative politics, not by the moral, ethical or religious convictions of the majority or whom make the laws, but for the proper question of the freedom, to guarantee the individual freedoms in the above express molds is to suppress the real freedom .

Finally ! Freedom without responsibility is freedom of ones few in detriment of the freedom of many !

Legalization of the drugs, legalization of the abortion, homosexual civil union, adoption for homosexuals, change sex surgery in public hospitals.
