eMail Freunde in aller Welt |
eMail-friends from all over the world |
"I have always had a great interest in learning about other countries and their peoples. I find the computer and the internet an excellent medium to accomplish this goal. I think that my greatest pleasure is having the opportunity to chat with nice people such as you, and more importantly to develop a sustaining friendship. Thru the use of E-mail and the internet, I have experienced the beauty of many cultures and nationalities and thru the written expression of others have been transported to many of these remarkable and exotic lands, if only for a moment in my 'minds eye'.. I have surmised thru these encounters that we are all quite the same throughout the world. We all seem to aspire toward the same goals. We all share the same hopes... dreams, and feelings. We all feel love, sadness,...loneliness and joy. We all love such things as dancing, music, movies and travel. The most universal and important fact that makes the deepest impression on me is this: We all want so much to be recognized and respected for who we are. So simplistic an idea ..... and yet so difficult for so many to acknowledge." Don, 47, Philadelphia |
