The fundamental evil

Ich erkläre das grundlegende Übel der Welt damit, 
dass der liebe Gott zu wenig Geld geschaffen hat.
                                      * * *
The fundamental evil of the world arose from the fact
that the good Lord has not created money enough. 

 Heinrich Heine (13 December 1797 – 17 February 1856)

  3. Potser no n'hi massa o massa poc.... potser és qüestió de saber-ho repartir-ho amb saviesa i sense egoismes.
    Bona setmana amic : )
