Stéphane Hessel "All things considered ... or almost"

[Ahmed]

Compassion is an excellent thing, as long as it does not lead to naivety; for my part, I can't find the word of hessel so fair as that and does not deem it necessary to incriminate this or that distortion of which it could have been the object ...

Of course, it is difficult to appreciate the sincerity of his words (and I would rather tend to give him credit for it, which does not change my negative appreciation), but, do not forget that he was an old man diplomat from Matois, mastering all the tricks of manipulation ...

bonsoir,

it's not false ;)...

So have removed the Mr Hessel and have only kept the principle if that can simplify ...

To be indignant at the point where in other words, "do not take for a state of affairs things that are presented to us, and look through the other side of the telescope" ...

In any case, I would not take away from him the merit of having tried to say it and trying to make him understand ...

a man is a man, in a system he is a cog, sometimes used sometimes he uses it ...

No one is perfect or untouchable even the Dalai Lama ...

Perfection is an illusion that must be taken for granted while knowing that we will never get there ....

How many can claim to have done the same? this is more where I wanted to come from somewhere ... and not to take for gospel words everything he said ...

Stéphane Hessel on France24 in December 2011:

The great Jean d'Ormesson has just joined Stéphane in the immensity of the infinite!

Some tributes feel hypocrisy and intellectual baseness full nose ...

He chose the wrong time for his release, another acrobat will overshadow him ...

I will allow myself to think that if he had attended this, he would have laughed at a beautiful sentence (and I can't find any ...).

Note: 20 years of difference between a straight right life well ordered and full of humor and a twisted right life full of high ...

Note, which hardly reassures me, that when you die, you are always a bit of a great man. The one who banged his wife suddenly becomes "a man who always had a touching gesture for his wife ...", the drunkard on duty "a man always having time for his friends ...".

I advised my wife to acquire a notebook where she should write down everything that annoys me on a daily basis. For the day I'm going to die. And what she likes, she can tell me in my lifetime, as and when. So it seems to me that: a) we will have a more peaceful life together; b) she will only have to leaf through the pages of the notebook on my grave and she will have the feeling of great deliverance ... Isn't life simple for who knows how to be imaginative? I have noticed that the natural tendency is to do the opposite ... Rouméguer of the living and incense after death. It's silly !

Certainly! He had the ability to turn the situation to his advantage, but there is in fact a tie between the two "Johnnies" ...

[Christophe]

Ahahah I was sure we were going to talk about Jean-Philippe Smet!

Without getting high Johnny might have finished a hundred years old ... you only have to compare him to his "colleagues" ... drugs, sex and rock'roll do not make old bones ... 74 years old is is quite honest so ...

Another one that also holds up is Jacques Dutronc: a rumor says that Gainsbourg feared him with alcohol ... it is to situate his level a little ...

Ps: Jane Birkins sang it very well ...
