     THE TRUTH IS THE RIGHT OF A MAN, "Very little is giving the right for talking, if the word is not free to express itself. If is
 captivated by egocentrism, hate, content to others, for instance to those who differ by nationality, religion or point of view. Small will
 be the advantage of talking and writing when the word will be used not for searching of the truth, but only for winning in discussion,
 and defend own, even false position."
 "The truth becomes humiliated also when there is no love to it and to a man."
 "...a man is free also not to talk the truth. But he is not truly free if he is not telling the truth." - by John Paul II

     Everybody WAS INNOCENT..., Due to that fact, since the 11th century it had been developing, along with one of the Slavonic tribes,
 an interesting culture of the contemporary Poland. Reading the text of Stefan Bratkowski I remembered another text from the
 correspondence of Jerzy Stempowski (Hostowiec) with Jerzy Giedroyc, published by Czytelnik in 1998. As I was reading it, I was
 fascinated with the live HISTORY, not distorted by historians, politicians, ideologists and journalists. Let me quote some of the fragments
 from the first volum (pp. 134 - 154) of the correspondence of "Prince" Giedroyc with one of the most interesting, most open minds of the
 20th Century, educator of several generations of Polish humanists, Jerzy Stempowski. It was in the 1950s:           - and more...

         3. To BE or NOT to BE - Zbigniew Antoszewski. Puis c’est
     l’arrivée des années „sixties” qui entraînent diverses modes et
     changements culturels très appréciés par la jeunesse polonaise.
     Mais les moralisateurs imposent leur diktat car, selon eux le „rock

     houliganisme, voire décadence”.

 berries were always available, and considered as inferior foods. Polish people used to say “Fish and mushrooms, flour and meadow” to
 describe a rich country farm, where everything was plentiful.                 - and more...
