I just read a book about schizophrenia. It was written by Nathan Filler, a professional mental health nurse in the UK. This book is amazingly useful for all of us as human beings. To read it was easy, but now, the most difficult part is to write about it. I spent the entire night thinking how to start and what to write. -             Start with the start, Victoria! -             Right! :) Accepted or not, we all have mental inconveniences, from anxiety, depression, delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) to schizophrenia and the huge problem is that most of us suffer of anosognosia (where someone is not able to perceive the deteriorating condition of their mental health) too.  Sometimes we grow up knowing that we have a problem, but we are too ashamed to speak loud about it or too afraid to admit you have the problem (because of social pressure). ...

Do you remember The Hunger Games series? The truth is that half of the world's wealth is now in hands of 1% of the population . How is this possible? Well, this 1% of the population has the education , the information, the skills and intelligence to use the technology in their favour so they can rule the world.                                                    (from the Biz Magazine Romanian Values Gala in May 2019) Equality nowadays?

And we talk here about intelligence , memory and creativity . These people who run the world are extremely creative, never get enough , never consider themselves tired to do more! We talk about emotional intelligence too. ...

From the play: Lamia Beligan Had the chance to watch Vivien Leigh : The Last Press Conference ,  written by Marcy Lafferty, directed by Liana Ceterchi, played by Lamia Beligan. I knew too little things about Vivien; that she won two times The Academy Awards, once for the    Best Actress , as  Scarlett O'Hara  in  Gone with the Wind  (1939) and for the role as   Blanche DuBois  in  A Streetcar Named Desire  (1951). I also knew she was amazingly beautiful. Then I have found out that she was not happy with her beauty, thinking that this will diminish her credibility as a good actress.
