I have been told that in a greek region people use the word Αρκάτος (arkatos) to describe someone that walks without carrying anything (in his/her hands). It is a pity that it is not included in greek dictionaries and most greeks do not know it. It is a perfect word! (I wonder if there is such a word in other languages). So, I would like to promote its use (both in talking and in practice) :-)

I love walking arkatos. And sometimes I even leave my key under the carpet outside the house entrance in order to walk around with absolutely nothing on me ... not even my camera :-).

Try it! Leave the house with absolutely nothing on you ... you will be surprised! (I think)

It is not obvious why, but "nothing" offers a more powerful feeling of freedom than "just my keys". You cannot imagine how it is if you don't try because, if you think about it, we never leave the house with absolutely nothing on us! The closest to this feeling is swimming ... swimming around the city :-)

Please try it and tell me how you felt :-) ... make a walk around the city without carrying anything at all ... please :-)

Jesus said "Μακάριοι οι πτωχοί τω πνεύματι" (the translation I found in the Internet is "blessed are the poor in spirit", but in greek it could also mean something like "happy are the poor in mind" :-))

I am not sure, but maybe this is one of the problems of our society ... the poor in mind are the only ones who are happy :-). I exaggerate (as always) but it is really a pity that (too) many clever and sensitive people are not happy! And they could ... or better they _should_, if they want to help this world become better ...

They should become themselves a good example for others to follow, and stop complaining forever and get depressed for the bad things that happen around us ... they should use their mind to find the(ir) way to happiness! And they will may help this way others do the same.

But never forget to "let" them freely decide what they believe is best for them! Love with a passion so powerful to feel as feathery to accept (my favorite quote ... goes with everything :-))

Anyway, I have a lot to say about this subject, but for the moment just watch this really perfect videoclip, from which this post was inspired (as you will understand when you listen to this song) :-)
