Sorry I must write in Polish, becouse my english is terrible.
I found your wideo in youtube.
Bardo poruszyła mnie twoja historia, pierwsza myśl jaka mi przyszła do głowy to, że piękna jesteś. Lecz później po wnikliwym wysłuchaniu twojej wypowiedzi, zaczołem się oswajać że jesteś chora, muszę się przyznać, że przed obejrzeniem twojego nagrania nie traktowałem "wariatów" poważnie. To co ty zrobiłaś musiało Cię bardzo wiele kosztować, według mnie ten trud się opłacił. Oby tak dalej wierzę w Ciebie.

And here's a corrolary by Albert Einstein:
"The value of achievement lies in the achieving."
(I presume doing is the same as achieving. And you can have achievements. The being part gets a bit more complicated. But I think I get it.)

I have to say — lives based on doing are less free than lives based on being, and lives based on being are less free than lives based on becoming.
