Come back

 I start to write this blog when I was about 30, and I can't believe it is almost 10 years since my last post.

Not that I had a huge following, this was just my way to voice my opinions, putting them there into the universe, without necessarily making an impact.

I just read some of my entries, and I was amused. They were interesting, in my opinion (of course, I wrote them!) but at the same time they come from different world, even a different me.

So, why writing again here? 

It is a way to connect with that young woman, it is a way to share again my opinions, with anyone who wants to hear them.

It is a way, also, to have meaningful discussions if anyone cares to comment. 

I think expressing one's opinion and having the will to debate them is a skill that is dying these days. Political correctness killed it, together with the need of validation of too many people who cannot accept that their own opinion is not universally accepted. Ironically (life is always ironic, when you it 40 you get that) often they are the same people who advocate for freedom and tolerance.

So, I have strong opinions and I welcome everyone whose opinion differs from mine, only so long they use the same courtesy towards me. 

I have a mind, and I use it, without fear of offending anyone because differing opinions are what make democracy at its core...

Notwithstanding what too many people think these days!
