if …

first post on the theme “childhood dream” … first inspiration excerpted from one well-known poem of Rudyard Kipling “if…”

The first time I read this poem (I guess it was the french version) while I was still a child, I understand almost nothing from it.Nonetheless, the following part (in bold) was thought-thinking for me back then:

”

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

“

from this I always dreamt no one will ever hate me. Have I achieved this so far? I frankly don’ t know … I guess this remains a dream as someone somewhere in this small world may hate me a lot … Please forgive me for what I am (or what I am not)

But back to childhood, let’s not nurture such negative feelings and give love to one malagasy child (kamba) that, despite what she’s facing now, surely have her own dream.
