I was tagged by my friend @tattoodjay, and I accepted the challenge.

I hope you all find it funny to participate (in Portuguese would be great too ;))

So here it goes:

💜Five Things I Love:💜(I used your hearts my friend Jay, hope you don't mind, as I still don't know how to put them via my laptop)

1. My children - Ok, this is obvious, a) because they are much more than "Things I Love"... basically, they are my life. I know maybe we take the "things" we "own" for granted, like family, health, food, home, etc. But I still make the daily exercise to be grateful for having my children safe and sound. And my biggest fear is to lose them. 

2. Friends - They are a blessing in our life. We don't need to have lots of them, we just need to have the right ones. And I'm lucky to have a good bunch of them.

3. Photography - I guess it's also pretty obvious this passion of mine. I find photography to be my true gift (even if might not be translated into quality), and for me is, as I told you before in one of my posts, it can be an instrument to help to change the world.

4. Traveling - Well, again this is not a surprise to you. I love traveling and my future plans include loads of travels, so help me my health (and my wallet, lol!). Like someone said and it's almost viral on the social networks, traveling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.

5. People with a cause and humanist - I admire and feel optimistic when I see that there are still people in the world who fight for causes and guide their actions by humanism and altruism. 

👎Five Things I hate👎(thumbs down also "yours" my dear Jay...)

I'm not much of a hater, but here are 5 things I wish didn't exist in the world:

1. Racism and other kinds of negative discriminations - I can't understand why people can be discriminated by the color of their skin, or for being a woman, or for being from another culture. And why this still origins genocides and wars today. 

2. This 2-speed world: While half die of hunger, the other half die of eating too much. Or the fact that the entire wealth of the world is in the hands of 10% of the population. This makes me sick. 

3. Cowardice - Cowards may be so for many reasons, and I believe some of them can be justifiable. Besides, I don't like to be judgemental and I guess I'm not, in the end. But I don't like cowards, in the sense of people who stay still and watch when something very wrong is happening around them. Or cowardice that comes from selfishness, from not caring a bit about the others. 

4. Fundamentalism - Well, because nothing has only one reason and people should be able to see other points of view. The world would be a better place if fundamentalism was an alien from another planet (and stayed there).

5. Emotional blackmailers - I don't know if there is such an expression, as my English is not fluent (I'm Portuguese!!!!). But I guess you know what I mean. I hate people that "charge" you things just for nothing. I run away from those people. I simply don't have the patience for those kinds of attitudes.
