22 April 2014 : You need to reach further and try to get something new locked down for the upcoming year. Your ambitions are achievable as long as you can keep your mind on track. Things are looking up! Each person is responsible for his or her own happiness, so do not feel an obligation to put a bright smile on the face of a notorious sourpuss. Some people are happier when they have something to complain about -- you can't cheer up someone who wants to be miserable. Stick to your optimism and your happier outlook. You have things in the right perspective -- don't let a naysayer tell you there's no such thing as a happy ending.

On Easter, Pope calls for end to war, condemns waste exacerbating hunger
Glad to imagine the state funds to buy weapons and military equipment used to buy nutritious food and good for human health, feed the hungry, provide adequate housing, free medical care, free education for the poor and homeless. I can never understand what is thought by the government to prioritize the purchase of sophisticated military equipment, but its people are malnourished due to poverty. "You said you are rich, but why your children are starving? You're stupid, you know? I say you are stupid because if you're smart, you should know that the most basic needs of living things called humans are eating the foods, not eating the bullets, missiles, nuclear, et al. Unfortunately, even though you are stupid but you sit in government and become a leader who always feel smart. Ohhh dahling, ... it seems we need the strong hands to shift people like them."

VIDEO : Music for Donetsk. April 21 - Davide Martello, who became famous for playing his piano at a protest site in Turkey, performs for pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk. Rough Cut (no reporter narration). ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: The man who became famous for playing his piano at a protest site in Turkey brought his instrument to the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk on Monday, where pro-Russian separatists continue to occupy a government building. Davide Martello became known as the Piano Man of Taksim Square when he took up residence with a baby grand piano at the Istanbul square where anti-government protesters and police clashed in 2013. Martello, an Italian pianist who lives in Germany, has taken the electric piano he constructed to cities across the world on his "Stop Killing" tour, and recently traveled to New Orleans. He says his aim is to use music to promote peace. In Donetsk, Martello arrived with his bicycle-drawn piano in the square in front of the local administration building that has been occupied by separatists, provoking arguments among some men gathered there. Pro-Russian separatists mounted a Russian flag on the piano. Martello pulled his piano further away from the occupied building and sat down to play. A group of people, including some men wearing masks, gathered around the piano, listening to the music and applauded as Martello finished his songs. Pro-Russian separatists have declared an independent "People's Republic of Donetsk" in the east's biggest province and have named themselves to official posts in towns and cities, setting up checkpoints and flying Russian flags over government buildings. An agreement between Russia, Ukraine, the European Union and the United States reached last week to avert wider conflict in Ukraine was faltering as the new week began, with pro-Moscow separatist gunmen showing no sign of surrendering government buildings they have seized. The agreement calls for occupied buildings to be vacated under the auspices of envoys from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, a security body. All sides are meant to refrain from force. Martello said he hoped his piano could also help bring an to end the conflict by using music to unite people. "To calm the tension. To relax. People relax and think about it. Too much confusion and people have to (be) together," Martello said. A white peace sign is painted on Martello's piano.

FUTURE : How to live forever 

Today's African Proverb : "The world is permanent but we human beings are not" - A Luo proverb sent by Rage Moi, Mombasa, Kenya
True. Only death is the one certainty in this world. 2 other divine secrets relating to human life are: birth and marriage.

The world is vast. Are we always able to realize all our desires? Why to this day my heart is not moved by the desire to marry him?

I repeat : until the day we die, can we materialize all our desires? Mmm...maybe not. Who cares if we can't realize all our desires? No one, because it's not our desire to make the earth is still spinning. It's not our desire that makes us have to die. And after we die, we can't continue to strive to realize our desire as when we are still alive. Why? Because we are already dead of all things: body and desire. We will blend with the timeless dimension of silence and quietness. No more sorrow, heartache, tears and even happiness. All is not mine. Thank you for completing my life so far with all the elements of life.

The death is awaited by a life that fills the time with our wishes, desires. Our desires have made ​​our lives become valuable to live, and therefor let's fill our lives with lots of good wishes in good ways to realize them in a limited time. Don't ask for the death comes to you, and don't do the things that can cause you to die.

Children of War: 50%+ Afghan kids starving. Afghanistan's former foreign minister currently leads the race to become the next president. The vote count should be completed by Thursday, but early results show the front-runner is around 6 per cent short of the required 50 per cent to secure victory. That means a run-off is likely - and more political instability. That heralds grim prospects for the country's most vulnerable - children - who are already enduring poverty, poor health and malnutrition. RT's Lucy Kafanov reports.
