(Alas, sometimes the researcher's opinion is more frightening than the reality of death itself! Am I afraid? Of course I'm scared. I'm afraid if my baby is dead now, suddenly, and leave me forever, as I'm afraid if my partner is also dead now, suddenly, and leave us forever, as also I am afraid to death now, suddenly, and leave them forever. You, too. But until now I have seen that nothing is forever going to last for ever other than the word itself. Forever. So, if at any time, each of us will die, suddenly, and leave each other forever, from now on I'm going to prepare my heart and my mind to think that I am just entering the dimensions of a situation, a word. "Forever". So, no more opinion of the researchers that can scare me anymore, damn it!

Well, suddenly, now I feel better.)

► Why the West Fears Putin. In America, Putin is always portrayed as a communist dictator with many protesters against him. Yet, he is not a member of the communist party and the KGB no longer exists. They never show the millions of Russians who love him for saving Russia and his true beliefs. Why is the truth not reported? There is a reason. The western media thinks they can hide the truth. However,  "One word of truth shall outweigh the whole world." -- old Russian proverb.
