Once upon a time… I had an issue with my wisdom tooth. Actually, I was warned about the high probability of this issue long time in advance. What I did? …

Nothing. I was asked to remove it as if the sore process would start, that could become a real surgery.

When I came in the end to my real surgery, the urgent one, the doctor said wise things. I’d like to share them with you here.

“Respect your body. Cherish it. You think you own your houses, cars, clothes, whatever… But no. At any point of time it can be away from you. The only real stuff you own it is your body.”

This year, from the very first day of the war I realized how simple & complex that truth was.

How many people left their homes with nothing in hands just to survive.

How many people stayed and died…

As never before I am begging everyone, please cherish the only one thing you own for real — your own body…
