Let's speak English!, practise conversation with us Options

[walpurgik]

I kept thinking these days that most of us consider English as a second language, a privileged linguistic area from which we take words/phrases and "jargonize" our Romanian sometimes pushing it up to extremes. I also believe it to be nourishment to our minds as a lot of info provided by media comes to us through this means, the music we psychedelically apprehend and feel is mostly filtered through this language, our job which demands it more and more imperatively nowadays. It's a river of words which we fish sometimes to appease our hunger of expression, of more meaningful communication, caringly making use, but also carelessly making abuse of.
I thought we might create a virtual space here where we could share opinions, exercise our minds in other languages than our own, enhance our skills in writing and speaking-in-writing through colloquialisms. If this be taken enthusiastically, I suggest we have session of conversation in other languages as well (Francais, Deutsch, Italiano, Espagnol, so on and so forth), perhaps it suits us well to get to improve language skills with pleasure and along with friends than alone trying to decipher the mystery of grammar stuff or so.
We may talk about certain issues or let the flow of language follow its way, it's up to you.
As a topic starter I thought of demanding you about what you think of the following affirmation; feel free to state your point of view, discuss, argue, whatever.
Here it is: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pistolar.gif) It's a challenge!

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.

Welcome, cristina! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/floricele.gif) Hope you enjoy your stay.
Congrats right back at you as your command of English is excellent and your ideas just as fine, so feel free to express yourself here.
There's not quite an answer to expect for your assertions, cause any opinion is as justifying as it is your own, and yours has a great truth within which I completely agree with.
Of course, history has witnessed plenty of wise, witty individuals to play with the language of life, and lots of other persons to pursue their words as so meaningful to what reality represents.
Life is sometimes too blunt and it strikes you back with cheapest experiences, hardship, chaotic nerves etched on your skin. Though the majority of events are dull, though time at work, which seizes the day, is mostly headaching, happiness, beauty and whatsoever other values, they are all in the viewer's sight.
We are designed to act our way though reality, and our capacity of handling the everyday and the tomorrows one step away is what defines us best. Playing, still, just as much as acting, is one of the most pleasurable activities man can take advantage of, because it lies within, and all you need to do is sharpen it. It's a pity, though, that most people stumble too much in the biology that lies within words and situations, and cease to invest their language with the zest of life, with healing words, playing their way through life in an enjoyable manner.
