About Me

Love is an act of courage, not of fear, love is commitment to others. No matter where the oppressed are found, the act of love is commitment to their cause- the cause of liberation. And this commitment, because it is loving, is dialogical. As an act of bravery, love cannot be sentimental; as an act of freedom , it must not serve as a pretext for manipulation. It must generate other acts of fredom; otherise, it is not love. Only by aboloshing the situation of opppression is it possible to restore the love which that siutation made impossbile. If I do not love the world- If I do not love life- If I do not love mankind- I cannot enter into dialogue- Paulo Freire
