Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mom) s1e20: Secrets are Colored by Our Assumptions

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Então, diante dessa situação, o ser humano faz coisas horrendas, e se formos avaliar os acontecimentos na história, vemos muito disso por todos os períodos históricos.

“O poder é transformado em violência e empregado pelo uso da força” , e uma força que nasce do interior de cada indivíduo. Como nasce? Nasce através da sua vontade, justamente por conta de muitos sentimentos, amor, raiva, sensação de…
