Hello curious readers!

I am pleased to welcome to the pages of the very first edition of The Guthan... and to let you listen to our Voice.

What we all search for first in life, is an identity. Some do this by following others, some do this by following themselves. We write out our true and honest opinion, sometimes it is caring, with passion... sometimes it evokes anger. You are here to read what we have to say, and to object with your own words.

We do not attack the world... we defend it by battling against facts and what is already accepted... and you should do likewise! Our articles are meant to evoke new articles... that is what we do and that is what we are... that is our identity. What is yours?

When someone asks your age, do your answer with a number? Is age defined by a date... or by that special thing inside it, a mind, an opinion, a character.

When someone asks you to identify yourself, do you begin a panicing search for your ID card? Or, tell the questioner your name, your goal, your dreams.

What goes on in our heads should not stay locked. It should be set free and shared. It is a dangerous adventure... but one I believe no one should avoid. At the Guthan we do one thing many people are too frightened to do: we do not refrain from speaking, we let our hearts talk and face the consequences.

The words you will read in this very first issue represent who we are and what we will write in every issue to come.

We write to spark up debates, do disagree with agreements, to release out opinions and set them free for all to object to. That is what The Guthan is. That is our identity.

Identity can not come from yourself, as every human being is raised by influence. However, it is our opinion, that lets that outside world enter our mind and make an impact. Your will is commanded by your reasons which create your values and build your character… that reaches beyond others and is solely, sacredly you. Only you are in control and you decide and only you have the power to release words from the depths of your soul… to speak up, to get your voice be heared. And that is what The Guthan does. That is our identity. Our voice.

Your articles editor,
Zenobia

No PDF issue this month, not enough stuff to work with. As you can tell, we are more in need of staff than usual. E-mail me if you'd be interested in working on the mag.
