Bird cage is nice only when it is empty!

Use your own reason to find the truth. And to do this, you must first get rid of the myths that your culture injected to your brain!

Man can be an atheist only in theory, not in practice, because the universe is too frightening and too chaotic to be too independent!

Lonely trees are not lonely; they have their eternal companies: Songs of the birds; shadows of the clouds; lights of the Moon; whispers of the winds… Lonely trees are not lonely!

A lot can be said with just a look, or the way the body moves. Each song is a different character. So each song takes on a different movement of the body. And the body has to go with the subject and the attitude that you have toward that subject.
