Aequum est quicquid omnes colunt unum putari. Eadem spectamus astra, commune caelum est, idem nos mundus involvit; quid interest qua quisque prudentia verum requirat? Uno itinere non potest perveniri ad tam grande secretum.
It is reasonable that whatever each of us worships is really to be considered one and the same. We gaze up at the same stars, the sky covers us all, the same universe compasses us. What does it matter what practical systems we adopt in our search for the truth? Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so tremendous a secret.
Quintus Aurelius Symmachus, Relatio III (384 A.D.)
MOTTO:
An actor I respect and admire, Sidney Poitier, said once something like that:
I`m a black man because I like it! If you don`t like it, don`t be!
(Sunt negru fiindca-mi place!Cui nu-i place n-are decat sa nu fie).
Because a lot of people confuse me as a Romani and I`m not, I must state this:
I am a Romanian citizen of Romanian ethnicity, that means I belong to Caucasian race.
Romanians were also called Valachians during history and are very very different of Romani also called Gypsies.

Disclaimer:
I`M NOT A RACIST, I`m just proud of being what I am.
I admire and respect different civilisations exactly because they are different and have different spiritual values.
The Old Europe must not be a federal state, on USA model.Europe will be united (and I admire this Union) as long as their leaders will base it`s politique decisions on this principle.
If you don`t make the difference between these two nationalities that belong to VERY DIFFERENT civilisations and cultures, you may offend both of them!

Very well said.
If people would just take the time to learn rather then assume.
I will say when I spent time with my unlce back in Cluj I have learnt so much, I have been approached in the past and told it must be awesome to be a Gypsy. Because I am Romanian, then that leaves me exlaining the best I can the Differences and Educating as well.
I enjoyed reading this and it was a very good entry.
*Lowers my head in respect.*
*elegantly slight bows his head*
Respect can only travel both ways.
We must respect our... blood!
:P
I agree.
Love who we are and never forget where we come from.
Here is a video with a part of the castles from Romania.Some are not castles but Churches-Fortresses.Many of them were constructed by the Saxon inhabitants of Medias region.
There is even a school from Brasov there.Looks more like Hoghwart but what can you expech from a Transilvanian school.
;))
