Corporate Greenwashing.

Greenwashing  also called "green sheen",^[1][2] is a form of spin in which green PR or green marketing is deceptively used to promote the perception that an organization's products, aims or policies are environmentally friendly.

 Although the term was first used by the enviromentalist Jay Westerveld to make hotels change their policy about towels, nowadays it is used by sneaky and huge worldwide businesses to attract conscius customers and to promote themselves as eco-friendly. The methods of greenwashing vary and its evolution is more sophisticated than ever. Going green is of course amazing but it can also be misleading.

There are many ways that a company can use to greenwash. Brands can make vague claims or omit important and relevant facts. They may do this inadvertently, just using information from their suppliers; in the recent case where several clothing companies claimed that they sold eco-friendly bamboo-clothing when they in fact sold rayon produced from bamboo - but processed in a way that uses harsh chemicals and can also release hazardous air pollutants.

A truly sustainable product, Lewis Perkins of Cradle to Cradle, a nonprofit organization believes, is a reusable item that has a positive impact on the environment and those who make it. That is an area where the clothing industry, which is based mostly on mass manufacturing in the developing world, has serious problems, mainly labor abuses and industrial practices that lead to pollution or accidents. These issues were highlighted in the starkest way last year when more than 1,100 garment workers were killed and about 2,500 injured after the collapse of a textile factory in Bangladesh. 

Greenwashing in the fashion industry:

Everyone that has walked into an H&M store has noticed the clothes recycling bin that gives you a 15% off. The company pretends to reuse these materials in order to make new pieces. H&M has been recognized as the world’s number-one user of organic cotton, which has a lighter environmental impact, and reduces the use of “probably” carcinogenic pesticides. But only 13.7% of the cotton H&M uses is organic. The production of clothing is still enormous and it is getting bigger and bigger by the year due to consuming needs. And a landfill overflowing with organic cotton is still an overflowing landfill.

Greenpeace in partnership with 76 retailers, is fighting greenwashing by creating the DETOX 2020 programme in 2011 to make companies choose the path of toxic free materials. NIKE was unfortunately the only brand that failed the programme, and we can also see that by the rage against the company during the last months, when people were burning NIKE products (still causing air pollution as a way to protest ) .  You can find the Greenpeace's list here. 

In conclusion sustainability and consumerism do not go hand in hand. It is admirable that all these brands are doing some work to change the way the product things, not only clothing, but cars, food, and even technology. 

There are very options out there that are "eco" or "sustainable" and it is now very confusing for the customers to validate what that means and to understand it fully..

The unpopular opinion of fashion as a Feminist tool

People often tend to believe that the fashion industry is a cruel world, especially for women. Many of them opinions, I have to admit, they are right. The industry projects unrealistic standards about female body and beauty, and a lot are those who choose to follow them in order to fit in and feel safe and as a result, suffer from eating disorders, extreme plastic surgeries, or mental issues. We have examples of that in celebrity life, many models suffered from anorexia or have been victims of sexual harassment, and from the people around us that absorb every trend. We are all super affected by these world, and we should all know how fashion leave its mark on us, in a positive way.

"The future is female."

Although men still run the industry, statistics show that women's labor, ideas and dollars pop up the industry. Women also dominate the student bodies at schools (like New York's fashion institute of technology), where 85% of students enrolled were female in 2016. A study called " The Glass Runway", by Glamour magazine in partnership with Counsil of Fashion Designer in America, showed that women weren't any less ambitious coming into the industry and that they were 17% more likely than men to aspire to be a top executive. Moreover, women are often the public faces of fashion and its big customers. But for much of the female focused industry which is self promoted as liberal and inclusive, there is a lot of work to be done to get businesses in line with the values they are publicly promoting.

"The suffragette of today."

 You can't fight revolution with silk gloves, but we can make an objection. There were times when a simple glove removed in a particular fashion could cause much a stir. And when women - and now men- figure it our, they didn't hesitate to use the fashion as an instrument of provocation. Personal style is now more fluid that ever. We can easily see men in tights and why not, in heels. People are free to wear whatever they want and how they want. Claire McCardell is often seen as the mother of american fashion , but while se ushered in the idea of sporty chic she also gave women a wardrobe that offered them a sense of freedom. The 80's power suit rejected the question "should a feminist adapt masculine dress or celebrate feminity?" and threw away the narrow definition of what is expected of them. The clothes they wore helped make their intentions known into the world.  After all what causes society to panic isn't different hemlines, but rather women defining for themselves what it means to be a woman. So the power of dress, was an important tool that influenced their standing in society, helping them towards less oppressive gender norms with every snap, zip, and fasten.

A scion of the Prada dynasty once said "It's important that we don't lose our feminity, that we find a way to do what men do, but in a woman's why", and I believe that this line includes it all.

Architecture in fashion design

High fashion is able to find inspiration everywhere, in any form of art, one of those, architeture.
The connection between them two is visible mostly during a catwalk and not in everyday life due to the extravagant designs, fabrics and weight of the costumes.
Moreover many designers as late Pierre Balmain and Gianfranco Ferre come from an architecture backround. Balmain was the one that stated " dressmaking is the architecture of movement. " and I couldn't aggree more.

Pleating, folding and layering are some of the technics that are used in order to create the right angles, shapes and whole constructions. Omer Asim is also one of many designers that his architectural backround is a career milestone, most visible in his elegance and minimalist designs.


Each designer interprets their inspiration to meet their individual style.

The adventures of N: Alaçati

Once upon a time in a place far away from Turkey's most famous cities there was a place that was meant to be the most boem village in the turkish riviera. Alacati is overmatching Bodrum for the title of the most stylish aegean resort but it still keeps its beauty and authenticity.

The secret of the turkish riviera:

For New Yorkers its Hamptons and for Italians bon viveurs its Portofino and Santa Margherita. For the turkish elite of Istanbul its Alacati, an old Greek village built in the peninsula of Izmir and a well kept secret. Full of small alleys, little shops, where you can buy colourful summer dresses and leather sandals, and unique rock houses you get Mykonos lifestyle vibes and the colours of Santorini. Only one hour away from Izmir and 30 minutes by boat from Chios its the most prized region for romantic and glamorous lifestyle holidays.

The village used to be famous for its vineyards and wine but after the population exchange the production was lost and Alacati remained silver in time. Not until 1990 when the first wind surfers had arrived and the first boutique hotels were built, did the village started to develop with high quality standards. The city council banned plastic chairs and tablecloths in restaurants and cafes and in 2006 Alacati was declared as protected region.

Its easy on the eyes to walk in cobbled streets full of naiveté. The scene is magical and the white - red houses and doors classy as it can be. Inside the houses there are aquamarine pools and spacious green gardens where you can swim and drink traditional turkish tea and coffee. The good thing about Alacati is that its not a flamboyant lifestyle spot. It keeps its tranquility and it is shelter for people that don't have the need to show their wealth, but at the same time need high-end vacation. The view from the windmills its breathtaking and it makes you feel like deep summer as you walk down the street and you meet hip people.

What and where to eat:

Barbun:   Traditional turkish cuisine with local fresh products.

Asma Yapragi:   A family restaurant where you can enjoy unique portions

Mancar:   Turkish gourmet cuisine.

Tabla:   Istanbul's famous street food restaurant opened its gates in Alacati.

Must eat: Mussel dolma.

Must drink: Urla winery.

Where to stay:

• BeyEvi:   A quiet hotel near the beach.
• Manastir Alacati Hotel:   Built of stone hotel located at the heart of Alacati.
• Apaz Butik Hotel:   A few steps away from Pazaryeri.

                                   xoxo, Nephele.

Zero Waste feedback.

What is Zero Waste movement:

   Zero Waste is a goal that is ethical, economical, efficient and visionary, to guide people in changing their lifestyles and practices to emulate sustainable natural cycles, where all discarded materials are designed to become resources for others to use. Zero Waste means designing and managing products and processes to systematically avoid and eliminate the volume and toxicity of waste and materials, conserve and recover all resources, and not burn or bury them.
Implementing Zero Waste will eliminate all discharges to land, water or air that are a threat to planetary, human, animal or plant health.

Some basic tips on how to Zero Waste: 

• Buy fruit and vegetables on your own fabric bags.
• Do not use plastic bags or cups. You can use and refill your own thermos or glass bottle.
• Choose unpackaged cargo.
• Use bamboo or glass or stainless steel straws.
• When you clean the house use only vinegar.
• Choose second hand clothes or clothes made from cannabis and cotton.
• DIY gifts, gift experiences like concert tickets etc instead of things.
• Use a rechangeable pen.
• Make your own soap.
• Never use products that contain polyethylene. Check if your products are eco-friendly: ewg.org
• Use metal razor and a bamboo toothbrush.
• Compost.

My experience so far:

  I've been into zero waste for almost two months. At first it was a hard trip but then it got easier.  It is EASY to carry things into cloth bags and get rid of plastic. But sometimes you have to buy milk or something else in tetrapack or plastic packaging because there is no other way. (so far for me.) Moreover there are times that you need to buy a plastic bottle of water because you can fill nowhere your personal bottle. Or coffee shops denie to fill coffee into your own bottle. (why tho? we are both wining here) So gradually it is more like a VERY GOOD recycling. And I can see that because I'm throwing away my recycling bag every two or three weeks.
I don't compost my organic waste because I live in a flat but if you have free space to do that it is easy too. Moreover you can reuse many things from your waste and be creative.
You should definitely give it a try!

The Adventures of N 2: Bordeaux

Bordeaux is located in southwestern France and is a port city next to Garonne river, and the world's major wine industry capital as well. The historic part of the city is on the UNESCO World Heritage thanks to its very intact 18 century city architecture. After Paris, Bordeaux has the highest number of preserved historical buildings of any city in France.

Top things to see in Bordeaux:

Place de la Bourse is one of the most well known sights of the city. It was built from 1730 to 1775 and its architect was Ange - Jacques Gabriel, one of the most prominent French architect of his generation. The location was chosen so that foreigners would be impressed by the first sight of the city but unfortunately the monument that gave a focal point to the square has been lost; the statue of King Louis XV was destroyed during the French Revolution. The statue of " Three Graces "was installed in the same location in 1869, to fill the space. There are currently 17 rooms available, from 30 to 1,500 m², offering thoroughly modern facilities in a historic environment. Palais de la Bourse is an up-to-date event venue, equipped with the latest technology, in a superb, historic setting, which gives it a unique cachet. 

Grand Theatre de Bordeaux was first inaugurated on 17 April 1780. Designed by the architect  Victor Louis it was that theatre that Marius Petipa staged his first ballets. It has 12 Corinthian style colossal columns which support an entablature on which stand 12 statues that represent the nine Muses and the three goddesses Juno, Venus and Minerva. The theatre has it's original colors of blue and gold inside and it is one of the oldest wooden frame opera houses in Europe not to have burned or required rebuilding. The building is now home of Opera National de Bordeaux as well as the Ballet National de Bordeaux.

Place des Quinconces and Monument aux Girondins, one the largest city squares in Europe with the column by Dumilatre and Rich and a statue on the top of it that represents the spirit of liberty, and suffering figures around. The momument was erected in memory of Girondists who fell victim of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. The place has become the most important public transport hub of the area and also offers hospitality to an antique bazaar.

The Cathedral of Saint Andrew, the cathedral of the city is a Roman - Catholic church dedicated to Saint Andrew. It was built in 1096 by Pope Urban II and the Royal Gate is from the early13th. The church is now a national monument of France and is home of the Marcade collection with illuminations that was little studied so far.

Porte Cailhau, is one of the gates that leads to the old town. Despite its age it remains practically unchanged. The Port Cailhau, thirty-five metres tall, was integrated into the city walls. In 1864, it was rented by a public letter writer and a person whose job was to weigh salt. They were both evicted in order to renovate the monument.There is a magnificent view of the oldest bridge in Bordeaux, the Pont de Pierre, from here.

The Minimalism of the 90's

Everything is old is new again used to say the author Stephen King, Peter Allen and Stefanie Miller. While it's origins are uncertain, what can be true is that the phrase will inevitably be invoked at the beggining of each fashion season. We may not be here to set the trends for 2017, but one more thing is absolutely sure. We are here to analyze every fashion movement in the 90's era and guess the upcoming ideas of the designers.


Minimalism in fashion comes with a disintegration. In one hand is the aesthetic monotony and in the other is the whole philosophy of the word. The philosophy behind minimal fashion design it's the lack of exaggeration and sometimes color, that leads to an austerity and clean-cut figures and luxurious fabric. But for the Formalists, minimalism was the art of creating clothing that contained only the essential elements of a functional garment and also complicated clothing in design and construction to seem designed. Each and every element that went into a garment, silhouette, color and fabric, was highly considered by the designer so that the wearer could appear refined without effort and it was this that made Calvin Klein embrace the body and the simple lines in t-shirts and blue jeans in his collections. Klein was also the first designer that brought the sexiness that had been missing from the minimalism decades of the past, because he believed that sexiness was about the woman and her body, not the clothing, because the clothing is influenced by the woman. So as, it should be as simple as possible. But then, details are key, and an deceptively difficult task to achieve. How it should be the shape of the neckline, the quality of the fabric and stitch? Minimalism is a way of dressing that often is accused of being boring and austere but if you approach it correctly it can easily be timeless.




1991:
James Galanos was leading in fashion industry for 40 years and fashion designers everywhere focused on the jacket as the key to a contemporary dressing. Denim and leather jackets for the youth and for the sophisticated woman long, curved jackets from major designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, as well as less expensive versions without labels. For the office these long jackets was worn over a knee skirt or dresses. Calvin Klein and Donna Karan introduced special jean collections for everyday use. Plaids made a strong fall fashion entry, spurred by Oscar De La Renta's suits, coats and furs worked in plaid patterns. Couture fashion was revitalized during the year but every couture house had ready-to-wear collections.

Donna Karan 1992 Spring

1992:
The most popular color was black. Isaac Mizrahi and Marc Jacobs were widely accepted in 1992's fashion world. 1970 stlye pants with flaring boots cuts were worn at work, home or to the movies. Animal prints were in highly demand, tiggers and leopards turned up in everything from t-shirts to shoes and bags. Calvin Klein and Donna Karan held collections with denim separates, long and short skirts, sweaters and pants.







1993:
Bell bottom pants and platforms were in. The long skirts were rejected and women frequently chose short skirts and pants instead. The fashion world lose touch with what women wanted to wear, some introduced styles from ancient Greece and Victorian England but these clothes were unsuited to the electronic age. Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer looked good in everything but normal women find it difficult to achieve the same effect. A surprising success in Fall 1993 was the long, black, fitted winter coat. The new grunge look started with flannels a la Pearl Jam and Nirvana, long hair and green canvas, military style jackets were commonly seen.

Kate Moss Calvin Klein
Spring 1994

1994:
Grunge style was everywhere. Marc Jacobs and Gianni Versace followed the trend with their collections but women over 30 were unimpressed. By the end of 1994 they were wearing high heels and satin dresses, metallics or other shine fabrics. Clothes that hugged the body and 1972 glam were back. Also they still found the suit to be the most useful way to dress for the increasingly faster-paced modern world. Giorgio Armani introduced pale tones and so did Calvin. Black, white, grey and cream colors were spotted in suits, pants, dressed, skirts and shoes,









1995 - 1996:
Everyone fell for comfort and freedom and high fashion lost interest. Brands like Gap held collections for modern every day women with flat shoes and blue jeans. Many would often "cross - shop" meaning that they would get one or two pieces in an upscale shop, then supplement it with a cheaper pair of jeans or a sweater. Ralph Lauren find ways to put a new twist on an old plot. Big pants for men and women, jackets and colourful sweaters instead of pale colors of 1994 were introduced. But still Ralph's minimal style remained in polo shirts and dresses with elegant cuts and beautiful fabrics.





                                                   


1997:
In 1997 there were casual dresses for the office and a return (again) to the styles of the 1970s. Monochromatic shirt and tie combinations kept men's clothing subtle. It was the year when Giovanni Versace was murder on July 15 and Donatella's emotional return included long lace dresses. There were still no patters in clothes except some animal prints and stripes. Thin cotton cardigans were ofter worned over minimal dresses with precious fibers like cashmere and silk. Women chose the "little black dress" with or without embroidery. Also, fur was making a comeback for     trim, handbags and casual uses despite constant anti-fur protesting.






1998:

Matthew Williamson
s/s 1998

Long skirts were back in dark blue, black and grey. Short skirts were accepted too. Strong colours such as red, petrol, winter white, purple and grey in both men and women restricted the basic black and white wardrobe but the effortless looks of the 90's vibe remained. The British designer Matthew Williamson, the star of London's Fashion Week, used simple cuts and bright colours and American Vogue introduced the "utility chic" style that was originally designed for sports or to combat weather conditions on the street. Dolce & Gabbana and Gianfranco Ferre incorporated a range of sportswear into their menswear collection. Cindy Crawford wore a simple short white slip dress and was barefoot on a California beach. Tom Ford introduced fine-gauge and four-ply cashmere sweaters into his autumn-winter collection for Gucci and Isaac Mizrahi left the business after Gucci terminated its partnership with him.




                                   

Nicole Kidman 1999
Esquire Magazine Party

1999:
Sportswear remained the dominant choice worldwide and women used to wore fitted tops over t-shirts and tank tops, while jeans featured embroidery and other decorations. 1999 may was the death of minimalism. The Pashmina shawl, in bright pastel shades, made from the finest cashmere on the planet, was a huge success and event though prices of this shawl could easily top 100$ it still won worldwide acceptance as a luxury fashion item. Dresses were sleek in all lenghts made of luxurious fabrics and beads and office looks were officially off.








The 90's era show us one thing that Flavin Judd, son of renowned minimalist sculptor Donald Judd, manage to say, that "All things go with what is good; don't make it more complicated". Designers, fashion bloggers and influencers may sometimes exaggerate with the trends and the clothing, but that doesn't mean that good basic items from your mum's 90's wardrobe can't be worn today. Minimalism is efortless and timeless and every single Vogue editor can guarantee that you will be more fashionable and stylish with a black dress.

Thrift Shopping Tips And Tricks

While shopping with my mother a week ago I couldn't find anything special at stores like Zara, or something that matches my style. Carried away with the trends I was hysterically searching for the best knitwear, but for my bad luck it was nowhere. The clock was ticking and I decide to just give up and go home. 

Soon, as the proverb goes your mum always has a solution. "Wanna go check this thrift shop? It says all 6.99." Faltering at first I walked in and what I saw was beyond imagination. Thousand of knitwears. Everywhere. My dream came true and after 2 hours and a lot of digging I went home with 3 knit sweaters ( 2 of them from H&M ) and I only spent 21 euros.

Thrift shopping tho, is not so simple and easy for beginners. There are big temptations and a lot of things that you should check before making a purchase. That's because I'm not talking about big well known second hand businesses I am talking about the dusty, unorganised aisles that are hosting Levis jeans and Gucci jackets from the 90's. Thrifting is the definition of one person's trash being another person's treasure so here are all the tips and tricks that will help you achieve this.

1. What NOT to buy:

I would not prefer to buy underwear for personal reasons only. Υou have no risk of inheriting any form of bacteria like an STD or other illness-inducing disease if you wash them. Also don't buy stuffed animals because they are made with materials to resemble human and animal hair which are susceptible to carrying lice from the thrift store and into your home.

2. Don't make any specific plans.

Search for basic things like denim jeans or black or white tshirts and start from there. Between them you will find more and more things that you may like with unique prints and patterns. If you know exactly what you are looking for you are doomed.

3. Try on clothes.

If you don't want to do this you will leave the store with things that don't fit you well. You'll rarely find your perfect size because companies use different sizing in between time. Learn to think over-sized in sweaters and tshirts but stick to tight jeans and well fitted jackets.

4. Price and material.

In thrift shops you can find leather vintage jackets for 20 euros but be aware of the condition the jacket is. If it is too old the leather may be frayed so don't buy it. Also if you are looking for knit sweaters search for ones that are rich in wool and not synthetic ones. As I said I bought my wool sweaters for 7 euros each while at stores they would have cost me over 40 each. When it comes to jeans it's up to you. You want it denim, you'll get it denim. You want it elastic, you'll get it elastic. Search for cotton tshirts and not polyester because it's not worth it to spend more than 5 euros in second hand bad quality shirts. If the quality feels good and luxurious pick up the item and analyze it further. This will lead you to #5 tip.

5. Price and brand.

You will find hidden gems in every thrift shop but you need hours to find it. Adidas sweaters, Yves Saint Laurent bottom up shirts, Christian Dior 100% cotton shirts and Comme des Garcon all under 10 euros. While I was thrift shopping a year ago I bought a Burberry no sleeves pullover for 5 euros all by accident. Look every tag inside the clothes and you will have yours. You can also find very famous brands in shoes too but they may be too vintage for your personal style or very classic. 

6. Never walk away from something you like.

If you are not so sure about it keep it with you while you are shopping because if you put it back, ten minutes later someone may scoope it up. It is better to have 10 shirts with you while strolling than none at the end.

7. Check the rack by the dressing rooms.

People usually put back very beautiful items that are waiting for you to take them home. You may find better clothes in there than the hangers. Most people don't check the rack. Their loss not yours.

8. Keep an open mind.

People say that they don't want to wear second hand clothes because they are dirty. You know you have this thing called washing machine, you put clothes in there and your problem is solved. Thrift shops also help the enviroment because they reduce waste and pollution. Producing synthetic fibers like polyester requires lots of energy, toxic gases and chemicals and second hand clothes are less likely to end up in landfills. Along with this many thrift shops directly support charity. In Ireland this term does not exist and they are called "charity shops". By shopping at these kinds of establishments, your clothing purchase can go from supporting Third World child labor to supporting Third World childrens’ education.

9. Try new styles.

Since you can find anything in there why not try something else that your casual stree style. Pick up a dress you would never try on, at big chain stores. It may look even better than you imagined on you. You can try new styles and only spend a few euros at the thrift shop and level up your wardrobe with colourful and nowhere to be found items that your friends will be jealous of.

10. Flea markets.

There are everywhere and everyday and you can find rare treasures. Choose a basic vintage item that you have found at the flea market and mix it up with a fashionable item at your closet to create beautiful personal looks inspired by Vogue and Pinterest posts. Let your imagination run free and have no regrets after.

The world is full of vintage clothes that are waiting for  you. Give thrift shopping a try and if you have any other tips and tricks let me know.

I hope you are all proud of me for not bringing up Maclemore's hit song till the very end because I was struggling all this time not to.

xoxo

19. -Αν κάναμε μια ταινία για εσένα ποιός θα ήταν ο τίτλος;
   Δύσκολη ερώτηση. "Η ζωή ενός κυριλέ αλήτη".

20. -Με ποιές 5 λέξεις περιγράφεις τον εαυτό σου;
    Δυναμικός, ευαίσθητος, χαδιάρης, παιχνιδιάρης, θαρραλέος.

21. -Πως περνάς τον ελευθερό σου χρόνο;
    Παίζω και κοιμάμαι.

22. -Τι κάνεις για να πραγνατοποιήσεις τα όνειρά σου;
     Προς το παρόν κερδίζω την ανεξαρτησία μου ενώ συνεχίζω να είμαι πιστός σε αυτούς που με μεγάλωσαν και να παραμένω ο εαυτός μου.

23. -Τι φοβάσαι περισσότερο;
   Το pug στην γωνία.

24. -Που θα ήθελες να ζήσεις; Έχεις μετακομήσει ποτέ;
    Περιμένω να με πάρεις μαζί σου και ναι, έχω μετακομήσει δύο φορές. Απο το σπίτι όπου γεννήθηκα στο σπίτι που μένω τώρα και από μέσα έξω.

25. -Τι σου έμαθε η ζωή;
   Ότι ακόμα και αν υπάρχουν στιμγές που μένεις μόνος αυτοί που σε αγαπούν πραγματικά γυρίζουν σε εσένα και δεν σε ξεχνάνε.

26. -Ποιές κακές συνήθειες θα ήθελες να κόψεις;
   Δεν ξερω αν μπορείς να το πεις συνήθεια αλλά ίσως να πρέπει να αρχίσω να ακούω και να μην γράφω τους άλλους στις παλιές μου τις πατούσες.

27. -Τι μπορείς να κάνεις τώρα που δεν μπορούσες να κανεις πριν λίγο καιρό;
     Να εξαφανίζομαι όταν με νευριάζουν.

28. -Ποιά είναι τα 5 πράγματα που θα έπαιρνες μαζί σου σε ένα ταξίδι;
    Σίγουρα το μαξιλάρι μου, φαγητό, το πουλόβερ μου για να είμαι φάνσι, αδιάβροχο και εσένα για παρέα.

29. -Ποιο πρόσωπο θα ήθελες να ξαναδείς;
     Την βιολογική μου μητέρα για να την ρωτήσω γιατί άφησε να με παρουν.

30. -Να ζει κανείς να να μην ζεί;
     Να ζεί. Να απολαμβάνει τους ύπνους, τις βόλτες του, την παρέα με τα άδέσποτα γατιά της γειτονιάς, να ζητά χάδια και αγάπη.
