Es fácil hacer las cosas difíciles,

y más fácil es hacerlas imposibles;

pero lo increíble del todo

es que yo soy única,

y, como tú... me sobran.

Las manos que son amor nunca sobran o están de más, por el contrario, son tributo a la gentileza, sencillez y amabilidad que exite en cada uno. Son la prueba fehaciente de que el cariño une y que una caricia con ternura se da de corazón. Son como el alma: desinteresada, generosa, cálida, buena, llena de luz y cordialidad.

Es maravilloso tener siempre esas manos. Cuando te las ofrezcan, tómalas con cortesía, respeto y amor. Y tú también ofrece con empatía aquello que te han obsequiado.

“Our ancestors fought a war to throw off the tyrannous yoke of a king who was taxing them in pennies. Times have certainly changed. Actually, it’s Americans who have changed. Of course sixpence in those days was equivalent to several dollars today, but that is only evidence of the way our own government has debased the currency over time.

By modern standards, George III wasn’t much of a tyrant. A rather pitiful excuse for a tyrant, really. He falls far short not only of Saddam Hussein, but of our own recent presidents.

(…)

If we hadn’t learned long ago that George III was a dreadful ogre, we might get the mistaken impression that he was a man of qualities — gracious, tactful, considerate, and quick-witted. Not that his personal demeanor can excuse wrongs he did in his capacity as ruler, but a glimpse of his human side is bound to make you wonder if American revolutionary propaganda is entirely just to him. Are we really so much better off under the sort of men who rule America today?” - Joseph Sobran, ‘A King in Close-up’ (16 September 2003)

“By today’s standards, King George III was a very mild tyrant indeed. He taxed his American colonists at a rate of only pennies per annum. His actual impact on their personal lives was trivial. He had arbitrary power over them in law and in principle, but in fact it was seldom exercised. If you compare his rule with that of today’s U.S. Government, you have to wonder why we celebrate our independence.” - Sobran, ‘Honoring Jefferson’ (1 July 2004)
