Run the world

Don't wast your precious time asking: "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is: "How can I make it better?". To that there is an answer. Said Leo Buscaglia an american Author and professor and he is also and known as " Dr. Love". 

Once I was in Peru and also visited the most famous place the Machu Picchu and was in the rain forest at the Amazon River near Iquitos and other places. 

In Iquitos they have already understood the letters you have read in the beginning. They try to protect the Amazon River and the rain forest and also the indians. They work with organization who let tourist come inside but never let them walk away from the path they have made for them. Making this world place a better place and help them to achieve a better future. They still remember the past and how bad it came to pass them. 

When I was in the rain forest I felt much alive and my eyes and ears became kind of bigger, more sensitive to what is around. I also met wonderful people who I sadly did not meet again, but that is the way it is often, when you travel around the world. Sometimes you stay in contact sometimes not, even when you want it. Anyway. 

When I arrived at Machu Picchu I had hoped for an adventure of discovering and feeling, but it was not an adventure, thought I discovered a place I liked and have a lot respect for and what I know from the history, I have much respect to give to those who lived once on that place but now it is a place with too much tourist, even thought each has the right and should get a chance to see such a splendid area, but then those high amount of people makes it hard to feel anything from the past. The flow which must have been able to feel once, when they discovered this place again is put under the energy and stories and food steps of a hundred, of thousand of people. 

There was only one tiny house which made me stop and feel something which could be old. So this was one thing which made me start thinking how to make it a better experience after all. The second was the history. How our people came and destroyed all just in the name of a god which they never followed or the rules they said this god made. They made the world a place not worth living and took so much away that it is a wonder, that this country did survive. Now Peru is getting back e.g. the woods we took away and they needed a long time to understand that too, because with all the hate such human brings, the knowledge is disappearing and all has to conquer again. I am very glad the rain forest is coming back and therefore does it scare me when Brazil is giving out the right to cut down 80% of their own rain forest. So what do we do? 

Gladly some people got together to fight, but will this be enough? How can we in Europe be so calm and not making our politician tell them that it is wrong. The results, the consequences of cutting down such an area is also to feel at our place. 

Can we forgive the past? We have to, to go and come forward. Can we forgive what is happening now? We must find a way and open our heart for that. But also we must start doing finally the right thing and stop just waiting for something to happen and stop just talking and forgetting acting because we are to afraid. 

Just look around there is a way. There is always a way, and yes sometimes it is a hard way out. 

Starting with spending the money for things made in your area and avoid things with to high prices for the nature and humans who live and produce in the way they made it. Look closer to what you buy and even think twice when you travel how to treat a place. And at least stand up and not only inform yourself, even shout as loud you can to the industry and politic to change the way they act. This last thing will be sure the hardest thing to do. Otherwise we would already stand on better grounds.

So walking around in Peru made me wonder and realize that the world is a wonderful place, even thought there is a lot to do to make it much better and that it is really time to start finding what we're gonna do. 

Now enjoy some pics from Machu Picchu, the mamut trees and some other places and around...:-)

Rescue me

...your love has given me hope. A line from a song and something we'll hope some people will be open for love as they just now act in hate and intolerance. The fight against foreign people in many countries has become very obvious and dangerous as it is the play with a fascist mind and game and the come back of right wings and fascists. It is a scary time but still there is hope. 

But how come a mob of screaming people standing on the street fighting police, humans and their own worth and smash fire bombs into houses of living people? How come they lost empathy with those who need help and search hope? How come that many of those ignore the fact that each culture is made of all of us and could not be if we only have been alone. How come they even ignore they got help them self? 

Some answer can be made. We believe if we know little. We believe easy then and in the same times you get filled with lies, which you believe easy as you know too little. And if the person who lies to you should know better, because they have been on the place- you believe the wrong things with no question, because you know too little. 

But how can a big number of people make such stupid things as killing people, hating people without a true reason? How can they feel so strong? 

Here I can give you some lines out of a book I have read: Remember when you have been in the circus? Children- remember when you have been there as a child, then you'll remember how all of you screamed and did laugh. But not because what is happening in front of them or because they all like it so much, it's because you have been sitting with hundreds of others in the same place, who have been also children. Nobody who will tell them what to like, to do and think. You all felt how you ruled the world. 

So, are they enough people together, with the same feeling, you will believe and convince everything.

And then there is this fact. Even when you start something new, already in the beginning are those who are against it and they will do what they can to fight you. In every system lies the fall. And as long some groups are seeking for advantages and power, you'll have to keep them in mind and sight. But every time humans  forgot and seems to be surprised. A total change can only come, if you really change 100% of everything and not e.g. let people from the old system who killed others, work on the same place in the new system. 

Of course I am aware that with those thoughts I will barely change the world but maybe more people will start keep these things in mind. For the time after the next change. 

Just now we have to make clear that we want another future and yes world peace and the end of war and the end of lies and so on... so go on, be visible on the streets, on Facebook, Twitter and so on and be open minded. 
And can't we live in peace like the bees? ;-)

I take all but without everything!

Art flesh, false aromas and beautiful appearance makes it easy to eat everything. 

Eating out makes it aware. You can go in those restaurants where everything is to get or in those where you just get a few number of food. Or you have those one where you get variations of a few. 

Sometimes it can be that you have a menu but everything taste the same. 

Eater way, going out makes you aware of what you wanna eat and what you get. 

It is clear for most of us, that the more you get the less healthy it will be as the production of meat and food is in mass and with a lot of chemical influence. Don't tell me you did not know after all the scandals, the TV and internet documentation and writing in the press. 

But lets start with the fact that even home when you buy in a store the drop height is high. What you expect and what they say you'll get is usually not what you'll have on your table. The classical strawberry yogurt has no strawberry and we know this since long time but many still buy them. I avoid them because wood is not what I want to eat. Yes, I could get angry over those idyllic farm images on the packaging. We all know that it is not the reality but take it and ignore the fact. So we buy the eggs and hope you'll really have bio eggs. Thought many times in the past it was shown that this was a lie and they just put the label on it. Fraud. Fraud everywhere and they even don't blink with an eye and lie again that all they say and show is true or they have to bla bla bla.. you know the reasons, the words they spit out. 

But then we also buy the vanilla ice cream and it is yellow. I mean we are used to the color yellow for vanilla ice cream even thought it is a color they have put in as true vanilla only leaves some small black dots. The yellow color is the replacement for the egg yolk which was once used. 

But it is hard to avoid buying when you smell those fresh fragrance of bread and other food, even thought it is a perfect chemical lie to our noses from the aroma industry. 

We are quick to buy everything with sugar, salt and fat as we get a positive reward in our brain by eating them. Once it was helpful for the human race but now it is pain with all to much to buy in the stores and all is just to make money or to let us loose money and make us believe in the same time we do some good. 

Yes, sadly our subconscious works together with the industry. God for them, bad for us and our health.

In my childhood all I was thinking was- does it taste and now I am asking before buying is this god.

Not that it was all better, but we used to do our meal by ourself at home and not buy it all ready made and just warm it up. 

That has sure changed the western world most. The artificial food. 

Now we had first vegetarian, then it is vegan these days. Avoiding the meat is o.k. but to discuss if a human need it or not is unimportant. We humans still don't know if we need it as we understand the effects of food just step by step. You can survive without it seems but then being vegan can also harm your health as every food can. Soya is not always god and if you always eat the same no matter what it is, is unhealthy for all. So it only can be a trying to do it best and look what you can eat, what is more or lesson healthy and to make sure you still like to eat and drink and have fun in life, because sometimes ignoring is best for your health. But yes the way we keep animals, the way we order fields has to change as quick as possible to make sure that we have more healthy food then those who make us sick and weak. (Which is in some parts of the world, industry, politic...and for some people what they want with us).

Another truth is, you can read book after book but won't become more sure. The questions will be more actually. 

The consumer has to make sure itself but help them is like a paternalism they say. 

Then I discovered that you have those who are against meat and animal food and those who are even against the vegetable made up on fields. Sure they can avoid the question how to keep animals we eat but then they are not working together. But what they ignore is that the replacement products are often full of gluten, yes they are often gluten bombs. And the alternative cheese is made of a chemical mixture that it is better not to eat it as you partly even don't know the chemical parts. 

So after all I decide to eat what I know I can eat even thought it is not pure, or always the best and I could get a bad feeling, but I will prefer to live with those contradictions then being unhappy in the end and always fight myself.

The new hate?

One of the question many still have for people who lived around 1930 and after is- how could this happen? Mostly this question is ask to germans, but let's be true it is a question to all of the western world. How could they do nothing?

They did nothing? Well, some tried to avoid, some did flee and some fought for the right to be and stay and told people how wrong it is to say that only the white, non jewish man is the right and true human.  And yes, it all started much earlier and we discover now these days how long some thoughts already sat in people minds. How much it was a normal thing to believe that people are not worth the same and it does matter where you from, even thought already that time people could and should have known better as they realized and found out with science how wrong some of these thoughts have been.

But now we are in a new time and it seems a new hate is growing and growing and using the same lies as they used it before but many of those who spread the hate and hurt people and burn people are young people. How could this be? Where did they learn to think so wrong and to hate and believe that a problem will fade with hate and killing people. 

Is it to feel power by giving fear? Is it to feel stronger by beating up a so called weak human?

Is it that it seems more easy to shout how bad the world is instead of doing good by yourself and those people understood only- do something by yourself because the politics will not and you have to do it right and that means fight and hate and trying to make sure that no one will get in the way?

It sure is that many of those young people have a very simple view on the world and things and therefore have more easy to believe those lies about the jobs taking away and the money wasting stories, even thought everywhere they can find the truth that it isn't that way and even cruelty is mostly made by their own people and not a foreign one and the marriage is not getting down by some gays. But how can we make them listen? 

How can they understand if they don't even listen to people like the president? Thought they have reacted very, very late and just in small and light words instead of taking action and stand up and be clear and loud and believable but power seems to distract them. 

How can we also change the view of people if the press is mostly showing the negative sides, letting the hate pass without a comment as they say it is press freedom and freedom of speech? How can a man  who believes that all people from saudi arabia, syria and so on are bad people  and so they believe they are in fact different and difficult, when the press is telling only stories about those who make problems and it also looks like all of them or  most of these humans are the same, even thought this is in no way the truth? How can we change their minds if young people believe that all in the internet is true, because they haven't learn to differ? Just take those mobile thing. The story that a refugee with a mobile can't have it that bad. Or if they paid such amount of money, they should not be here. 

Yes, some people try to make the internet the place also for making a way for the truth or part of it and telling people about those lies. But how can we make them listen and believe, when they have such a simple view on life and those things in the world and then those simple thinking makes them feel stronger and being part of a group which seems more worth? How can you open a closed mind? 

But then to go back in time, even clever people have been nazis and fascists. 

Yes, propaganda once started, is hard to avoid and to change people later into a new system is not easy to do if able as they have to make believe and to understand and not just say the words they read without feeling. No wonder that so many stayed the same in silence when it is about their believes and the shock of being wrong suddenly is also a reason and oh not to forget that far to many had not only the same job, they went on like they never did anything wrong. 

Rasism has become normal again in many countries, thought it has never for real left the building. 

We have the very same condition as 1900 and also far to many people are acting the same, even in politic they react the same.  The silence is again very strong and the warning words come from some people but not those who should know better. A president, a minister or one of all the others so called important people- they all should have open up much earlier.  How many mistakes we made, it is none of the matter as we must do right now and change what has to be change and do what has to be done and also give the possibility to do it, because a law can only come in effect, if the government gives the money to pay people to do so. And of course to make the law clear and to use it wise and to use our minds. It's a shame that we put foreign people far away from our towns and forbid them to do a step outside that place. It is a shame that we need far to much time to prove and give a chance of a new life. It is a shame that we act blind as a government when people are in need of food, cloths or a warm place. It is a shame that most help these days come from private people and organisation because the government failed again and again and again. It is a shame that we still discuss to open or close the borders, when we know it does not matter for those in need, in pain, in fear or without any hope on their place if they will try to come or not. They will come, no matter what just it matters in the way that a closed border brings more dead people. 

The question is, if the government, the politics are in the way interested to help or not. It is about money, power and international connection. But those who make war, those who sell weapons have to take the refugees who flee from our guns and bombs and the hate we build up with that. 

Yes, we have less wars as ever but more refugees and harder situation in the countries in war and also those who had war. But the western world made it worse in the last 50 years in many countries by our way of acting like an ignorant asshole who believed to know always better. 

And now lets look on us today. What can we do? Shout out? Stand up! Fight the hate but with words, with peace, with love, with songs, with helping people and with writing and talking about that and also with being on the streets and tell our government and president to act in the name of equality! of respect! out of the knowledge that we have to do it with humans and we all did wrong far to long and that it is time to tell the truth and act like that. It's enough! It's enough!

We don't need to change the law, we just have to act. We have to name hate and terror from our own people and give them law and order and show them the right way, the way of non hate and respect. 

We have to discover civil courage again!

Many countries these days have right wings politics and those have become in many places much stronger then 1930! How will this lead to a better and brighter future, if we act the same as our grandparents did? Remember we still ask how could they?! It is the way we do today, if we do not change and these days the possibilities, the ways of finding a way out are much better, much more and open to all of us. No one can say we did not know the results! And after all why not telling and naming the right wing what they are?! It is time and also we have to tell it like it is with the hard left side- they are to name the same and so we can make clear that extremist sides are not humans sides. 

It is time! The new hate has to stop! We are humans and are all equal! We need to look closer and change for real. As fast as we can and as good as we can, otherwise we will land in war and hate and repeat history one more time. This would be a sad thing. And yes this is real now.

Love and Light
