purple rain

Yes, it is October the 15. and the day to wear purple in the rain or even sunshine as this is the day to show to other people that you are against bullying. 

Just a couple of years ago this idea grow out of the fact that we still have to deal wit death caused of being bullied. Yes, still people kill them self because some people treat you bad or take you as a walking joke. 

To be true, those people know mostly very well what they do to you but ignore that you are human and have fun or do it to have fun and feel stronger, bigger or show of power. 

Bullying has many faces and many times you are not seeing it clear, many are not even aware that you are a victim of such a try. 

So let's take a deeper look on how bullying can be.

First the very obvious. You can already experience this in Kindergarten. There is this boy or girl, looking not exactly what others do and some start to make jokes on you, call you names and sometimes also beat you up, sometimes more, sometimes less and unseen for others, when you are standing alone in the corner. They steel your clothes, bags or put them in unreachable places, they look you in the toilet or leave you with a mark which made you look like a stupid one. 

Another is to stalk you or treat you over Facebook and catch you just in front of your door at home and tell you, you are worthless and get a punch if you do this or that. They don't want you to feel strong, be good or make things right and eat your fear and loves you unsure and feeling weak. But some also go a step further and burn your house or car or throw things at you. 

Bullying is not only to make a joke, it is treating you bad and sometimes to death.

Most who are the reason why people feel sick and weak are in no way aware of the impact this all has on a personality of the victim. How much they can destroy a happy life with just a few words. They believe being harmless because it is just a joke but inside they know it is always more, it's the which to harm and do bad things without calling it that way, as most people will not see it that way or just say exactly the same like those who do you harm and if some victim stand up they first laugh at you and try to put you down until they fight back and show them how much it can hurt but many are to afraid and many have already understood they would not be better then those who inflict the pain.

So this day is also a chance to talk to others when to stop and to be more aware that doing so is not a sign of being stronger, better or powerful. It's the other way 'round!

Also bullying is not to find just in school, Kindergarten or working place, it is also very common in politic and private life. Sadly, less people call it what it is and most people are very unsure when does such thing start to be what we call bullying. When is it just a joke, when not and how do I know if this will hurt? 

Of course first of all it is the victim who tells you the border. But then you can be smart enough and take to empathy; then you'll know very clear when to stop. It is also the indent of why you make a joke. Is it showing of, or show a mistake? Is it to harm or to remember? If you call someone names, why do you do it and what names are you calling?

And it should be clear that giving out a false statement and false information about another person to inflict some action or because you don't like the other one or you want to put yourself in a better position, that this is bullying. A very common thing colleagues do. Telling things which are not true or they know they are most likely untrue. It's a pity that they do as they weaken the position and make things harder to change.  But some do as they are not happy with their own situation, but instead of being true they go that way and I hope in this case that life will show them this is wrong. 

It is also bullying to deny others people right because you feel unsure or have not a clue or just a bad feeling. And we know people still do because of your skin color, gender, sexuality or because you are disabled. They believe you are weak or want you to be. 

But what can we do to stop this? 

Of course talk and write about that problems. Wear purple to give the possibility to other people to talk to you and a chance to change or find a way out of their situation as many victims have to learn to change the way they think about them self and how others look at them. The change of habits and believes are the most successful way to get rid of those  who hurt you as you let yourself be hurt and the more negative you are, the more weak you let yourself be, the more you will stay or be a victim. You can change the situation by thinking positive of yourself and find good things about you and for you. It may take time but at the end, just remember you are stronger then them because they have the need to act that way to feel stronger but they will let go if you are visibly stronger as them and if its just having a strong back again. Look out for friends who think as yourself or better who have the same interest. It's not about changing them, it's to change yourself and then they will do or just leave you alone. 

You know I am hard of hearing and people assume that I am stupid or not good at work and some try to talk behind me and tell I am weak, not right and so on, but I never cared about that and after years I always experience the same, that after a while some people tell me what they did believe but are happy now that they have changed their mind. That's the way I do, let them get their own picture of me and make own conclusions and if they like it or not is their problem. My decision is my reaction to what they do. And before I react to fast I take time to think and let things come down and I try to see thinks from different sides.  

So now... go out, wear purple, talk and look out for situations which are clear to make a stop and show your courage.

Love & Light

Let there be light!

Since a few years each October you'll find thousands of people on the street when it's dark in Berlin.

It's the festival of light and goes three days but actually starts a week before with the weekend of lights. So artist and other people use the open space, or streets and buildings to put light on them and then to change over to put projections instead. 

Many famous buildings are the victims but also bridges and unknown houses get lifted from a colorful ray of light. 

This weekend since friday, you'll see moving pictures on the wall, or changing images. 

It has not only become very popular to take a walk through dark Berlin in autumn until the morning drops. It also has become much better now. 

The pictures you are going to see are more amazing now and even surprising. Of course most buildings who got a shine on are at -Potsdamer Platz-  or -Brandenburger Tor- and on the street -Unter den Linden-. These are the main places, if you like it to call them. Even the famous -Ku'damm- is with. And many more and so you have to decide which route to take. Tourist shops and information places and hotels will help you for sure to find out what you want or is best for you as you also can be on a boat tour. 

So if you are in Berlin do that walk and discover! But be aware it is cold and even when you can buy the first "Klühwein" you are going to feel cold if you have no scarf and other cloths to keep you warm as you have to wait on some places to watch all the images. 

This year I did a 2,5 hour tour and it is much colder as last year, otherwise I sure would have stayed longer. But maybe you are stronger. Just know until tomorrow midnight you are able to enjoy this event and next chance is not before next year October. 

Still not sure? Well, look at the pics I made... they may give a little idea and feeling to you.

The mechanic horse

Europa is very much like this mechanic horse which is standing in Berlin at the central station as an art sculpture. It once was functional and moving but with time it went slow and people then forget to repair it to make it go on and so it is now standing still and not moving anymore.

This sculpture has many faces, sad and lucky which once use to change and now you only see the sad face. Irony it is when I think, it matches Europe very well.

Europe once started as an idea and then became reality and became bigger but like the horse which was once an idea and became reality and bigger, people forget that all things must be cherished. Like your home where you have to clean and wash and throw away and buy new, where you have to paint the wall once in a while and look out for the technic to stay functional.

Yes, very much like with this horse it was nice and good in the beginning even thought, there have been always those who warned about the future of it and question the horse itself and its reason.

So Europe, a bunch of countries who should be a strong community when it is about money, politics and peace became a reality which looks different now as many forgot they have to work together and really cherish for the mechanics inside. All technic has to work as each part is important to make the whole functional. Now we hear a lot of screaming, squeezing and loud noises which do not sound that good. It is because far to many of the actors in this spectacle have forgotten that they should have done some research earlier and had to talk to each other more truthful.

But this crisis is a good thing as it make us remember that things can only get better, if we all act in the same manner. But what manner is right? Here we have some ugly facts. Some want the money, the power but not the work.

To not tell this, the loudest voice is always to hear from those who want you to overlook their miss. Stay blind to the fact that there is no turning back is what we experience in many ways. The propaganda play is on in every country and making it all look as it is the others fault. The bashing against Brussels is always on as long it does not seem so good what was made as a new rule, even though each member said yes. Was it your idea it is always a good Brussels but if not this town and the house of politic is always to big, to slow to stupid and to many rules we don't understand. The truth is, it is not that big if you look how big your countries bureaucracy is and how many members per inhabitant they have. Much more. Much, much more and even less outcome and worse. But yes Brussels has a problem to communicate it's politic and this is the fault of our own politics.

Yes, so many countries are not easy to get on line but it is possible if only all of them want the same. But as I mentioned, some only wants the money but not the responsibility. So lies are what you read and hear from them. Most don't say it aloud but they do think the problems of others have nothing to do with them, even thought they should know better as each bigger problem is a problem for all European. But to see this fact you have to have your eyes open and to admit that some countries came in with a situation well known as not so good. But we wanted to stay blind. 

Now after Greece  and Charlie H. we stand in front of another challenge. They say it is one of the biggest crisis with migrants we ever had, even though we already know from newspapers and Facebook and other sides and ways that this is not exactly true. It is sure a very big crisis for the European Union. As it shows where we really stand and that you can't stay away from making things work and go on. You see now that the technic has not been looking after for far to long and people seems to wonder how could this happen, even know they know how but choose to forget. 

That many eastern countries don't want migrants into their countries, is not really new. But now we face the fact as we must find a way all together to deal with this big amount of refugees who come along. 

Did we not expect that their would come more? Did we really thought those 300 in spring would be all to come? We had sure hoped for but knew already that this is just the vanguard. Will come more? Yes, we have to see it like that, as the situation is just a following step of what is already going on the last four and five years. Those refugees are coming from several countries and in some you find war going on and on and  in other to live is to stay poor all your life or having not a real chance to become a better future. In some we have not at all democracy going on and in some religious has made life horrible for a bunch of groups. So yes of course they do come as they heard from a better life in Europe as we heard from a better life in the USA once. But we still sell weapons, we still want cheap cloths and things and those are the main reason, why people have to flee. So this is also the price we have to pay. How come then all is so dramatic? 

Europe made some laws who made this all grow up. Once it was forbidden to fly- so they took the more dangerous ways. Once we had a wall who made it impossible to come buy boat and people got to die in the sea and no one knew as we did not tell and show. Once we made a rule that you only can seek for a permanent stay in the country you first arrived and so the ol' Europe had nothing to fear as flying was forbidden. 

Now the war is still going on and the winter is on the way and the camps got less money and hope is fading. 

But in all countries we made big mistakes how we used to deal with those who came. Actually most have laws which are enough to make a fair deal and work and to clear a situation, but in all countries it takes and took far to long the process of bureaucracy. Then we put the people on places their were not allowed to leave until they have been allowed and got the papers. What to do such a long time? Then even if they have come through and are allowed to stay and study and search for work- what should one do, if you have the qualification, but no one wants to take you as they are afraid and have other reasons. What if there is no work in that area but you can't move because you have no money? It is true, most refugees have a quite good education as most of them are from the middle class. The poor can't afford it, the rich don't need to flee. 

But if you can't go home or move back to your home country, what will you do? If then a system pays you enough to stay alive and you can't find a job? You will give up mostly and let the country pay and who gets upset about that? Of course those who live and work and pay the taxes. 

And if they also claim that those foreigners get more money that their own people then I have to say it is mostly not that way but in some countries and some situation it is. But who's fault is it? Theirs? No!

But those refugees are open to any job and so they are in fact and if just only as a feeling a danger to the jobs of the little man. And even you don't have to pay them as much as your own people, who's fault is it when they get a job they are more then qualified for and not you?

And then- The children. More and more children are sent. A very typical thing when the tsunami of refugees are on. ( and it is on and no one can hold it back now as it is far to late..) It is and always was the same thought. A child can grow and get money back to family and will try to help the rest of the family to come after. A child is the most worth thing and has the biggest chance to survive the race of life. In all the last waves, children have been taken and care for and also become victims of crime and drama. Just remember all those stories we have read from children from 1800hundred to first world war and then second and then on and on. 

So what and why is it such a big crisis now? Nothing in this is new and the amount of humans are not nearly of the number of refugees we already had traveling round the world. 

It is all the mistakes, the lies and the ignorance of the history. It is the typical acting when you became someone, you don't want another one to be part of it as you have the fear it could be taken away from you as it has happened before. 

It is because of all the mistakes we already have done and therefore we see that things are not that simple and can lead to problems. Some of these problems are called crime. But here we have another mistake- the number of crimes we hear is not the real truth. The statistics lie and papers lie when they only take part of the statistic to have a dramatic line. Even it is a lie not to tell what kind of crimes those are. So people assume that refugees are doing big crimes if you let them in as you read about killing and fighting on the streets. That your own people do the same and more often- you read not or seldom. 

So stories people hear and maybe also see by themself are becoming the whole truth and that means- I don't want them here. They only are loud, dirty and don't care about us and where they live. 

Problem is, no argument will then help to make them think twice. I had such discussion and am not saying it is not happening but it is always a small group of people who make problems and do the crime. Never the majority. 

But the majority was in silence to long too. To differ is something many people do not. Most people like to have it black and white but the reality is never simple like that. The wars we have going on are a history which started around 1800. Just let this fact sink and then that we, the ol' Europe are those who made it start. We still have not lost our arrogance against those countries. But we should learn that they have been better then we used to call them. 

Now this crisis also seems so big as we deal with fear and the fact that fascist minded people use the words of the middle class and from the middle of the politics. People started to get in trouble when they called out their doubt and fell into a forbidden area. Suddenly it started to be not allowed to tell how you feel and thing. But we must be able to ask, what do we do with all those new people here? Who is paying for all of this and how do we get them into work? Why do we put them somewhere in the country where there is not a big chance of a job and how do we deal in our towns with them as most of them of course search for a stay in town as we all know the saying that there are the jobs? What will happen to these people when they meet the enemy they fight at home here? And why is it a forbidden thought to ask that those people have to take and be aware of our way of living and rules? Why do politics still say another religious is part of our countries history if it is not that way? Yes, those people have potential we need and we have to make a plan and give money for making it work and also we must be able to tell them you are welcome but remember we expect you to live after our ways. We respect your past but this past won't be part here anymore- not in the same way. That was never the case in the past, why should it be now? It is therefore also a crisis because we have no plan, no idea how to deal with them. To give applause and say on demonstration- you are welcome- and spend some clothes can only be a beginning. 

Now we have no time to waste and must immediately make up a master plan. But alas politic is acting far too slow and still we discuss how many we can let in?! 

I worry, if we don't keep on and push our government to do the right things, we come into another crisis and bigger problems and then some bad preconceptions could come true. 

In that case as much as I find it positive that my people have open arms, they also are blind to the facts of reality and the times after the five minutes arrival. 

If our country has to less people to deal with those as we avoid spending money, the situation will soon get worse and be more complicated as it already is. 

That only will help the fascist minded. 

Let's make it better as we've done in the past!

Love & Light

once there was a wall, 25 years ago...

..and people lived in two countries, even thought the language was the same and the history their shared was quite common but different too. How the past made them living a live with borders and under the law and orders of others by many own mistakes. People had an idea of how the other side could be but surely most did never really knew. Not to mention all the countries next to them in east and west. Families where parted and places got a wall in the middle of a garden. Things were suddenly forbidden and stayed it for a very long time. Two systems did grow out of one big country after a war, who was called the world war 2. 

And there was this big town, called Berlin who got a wall around its western side and so there was a wall right through the middle of this town. 

People lived with it. Oh they did question this, died because of this crazy thing standing in the way. 

Propaganda leaded a long way the thoughts of mankind in those two very different countries who represent two different system of politic. The capitalism and the socialism. At the end, none of them survived. None of them had really the common people in mind. But both were capable of war, even it was just a cold war but it did contain the rise of dangerous weapons and lies who are still in this world.

I was a child growing up in the eastern part of Berlin. I had my aunt in the western part and she came once every year to visit us but that never gave me an impression how her life was. 

I just knew our way of living in the east with all the socialism and propaganda, even though I had parents who happened to be critical and so I had a hunch of that not everything was alright. I mean I was a teenager when the time came up that the wall should be fallen. Too young to understand what this could mean and to understand what the politics did, but I realized a bit this and that. I knew the punks in our street and I knew some areas has been forbidden. I grew up with soldiers walking in front of our garden as we had our garden near the wall. I was quite open minded as we had family living in the western world and so I knew that it could not be all just bad. They may tried to give a bad expression t.ex.  about USA but I never really thought bad about them then. But most of us never knew how bad the situation in the eastern countries were, as this came up after the wall has been destroyed. 

But back to the time it all began. The demonstration came into my mind through TV as in Berlin we were able to watch the west channels and as people later waited in Prag I had a feeling of something important was happening. I saw all those people fleeing into the west through Austria and even my bio- teacher went away that time. In school suddenly most of my friends started speaking up openly and we discussed what we knew and this was more or lesson different to the background we knew.

When it was clear the people could visit the west part, my family stayed home as in the beginning it was not clear if we could come back, but after two weeks, no one believed that the wall is going to be closed again. In the same time all the demonstration became bigger and so my family followed that. In the middle of Berlin I was there too. But mostly with the help of TV. 

Nearly next to three weeks after the gates were open we went to the west part, taking the underground to visit my aunt. Strange feeling as so many people from the east went on to see how was it down there in the west sector. 

Many things happened then good and bad and many people went blind by money and lies but mostly my family was clever enough to take it slow and to take the chances they could catch. We knew the industry was in no good health even know we did not expect it to be so much better then in Poland and Russia or the other eastern countries who broke down so  deep that it was a big surprise for all. 

I am by myself very grateful that this happened, because what would I do today? I don't know as people who were disabled were people of second class even in socialism. My choice of a job was poor, really poor and bad. I had to ask for a chance to move to another country, but what had happened to my family? 

So... it was for me the best that could happen. 

25 years ago and it's not a long time, even though for mankind it is. 

25 years and so many things have changed and so many more mistakes have been done and so many chances have been gone for a country who should have known better, but so it is and the hard way is to take now. Well, could be worse.

25 years and I am no longer a child a teen but a man who looks back and wonders.

Send you all out there from the past and the future and the now

Love & Light

The vegetarian month

Yes, now we have November the vegetarian month. A month to think again what and how we eat. As it is a fact that the eating of meat has risen. Not so much in the western world but in many countries where it used not to be that much meat at the table. 

Well, we all know one reason is, that if your life standard has risen, you're going to eat more meat as this is called the rich peoples food. Sadly that brings us to more problems then we need. But there is also another reason why the eating of meat has risen. Rice has become more expensive and so meat has become cheaper. That's why more and more poor people eat meat instead of rice with vegetables. 

Now we know that meat is not the healthiest of food. It is not that dangerous as many may claim and most science study can't really show that it is a bigger danger then not eating meat. But the studies show quite clear which meat is healthy and which not and those is not meant to just choose the right animal it is the way we grow our flesh. 

We have meat farms all over the world and there are thousands of animals, staying and waiting, growing in high speed and getting antibiotics and steroids. They stand without having the freedom to move as they need. 

So bad food is the bad way we treat. That's one of the reason why this month was taken to open the awareness of eating meat. 

Above all the gas those animals give out, which is very much a part of the global warming, we destroy our nature and ourself- our health as we take unhealthy meat to us. As it is those speed meat needs a lot of salt and fat and other things to be tasty. Sadly those things are the second big danger to our lives. 

Those things makes us getting fat and having heart problems and so on, getting diabetes and stomach problems and cancer. As we also take more meat and forget the rest on the table. Many people have start eating just meat and losing the sight of vegetables, salads and fruits. Which makes it worse for the body- twice.  

But this month will also be here for asking how we treat our plants. There we do a lot wrong too as I already have written about it. 

Destroying our nature with the food industry is nothing new but can be avoided as we need to change some rules and habits. 

First those DIN Norms has to go away as we put more then half of the harvest to the garbage hill. What a waste and what a lie from the politics, the WMF and other big organizations that we need Gen manipulated food. We never needed that! 

So folks time to stand up and go on the streets and tell it to your government! 

With the food we throw away, it is said that we can feed the earth population three times!!!!!!!

Kinda much went wrong with the industrialization!

Starving people all over the world and then comes the church and tell us "bread instead of fireworks". What a hole phrase. What a shame! Just the church could pay for all the children of the world and then all religions have enough money to feed the people everywhere. But what do they do?! Some project to keep the rise on the table- useless projects. 

If they have the power, why not using it for just this and change the laws and rules in giving out food. Because they don't want it. Because they want money and not help. 

Well, there we have the devil! 

The same is of course for big companies and your ministers. Kings and Queens. They all could, but don't want. So we, the common people have to start getting up and showing them the mirror they always want to avoid. 

Another reason for the vegetarian month. 

Oh I hear you starting complaining right now- stop it! 

No one said it must be big from the beginning, start with little steps and get a feeling of what you are capable of. You will be surprised of how much you can do! Start with being aware of what you eat. Eat less meat and only from the local and a little farmer as this will have more fair and healthy living for the animals and if you are a man with empathy this is what you want.  Then look out where you're food is coming from- big farms or small ones. Do you really need every fruit all around the year? No! Buy those who are actually naturally ready to be eaten and not grown in far away countries or greenhouses. Buy only what you really will eat (because otherwise the risk you will throw the rest away is big) and think/remember about that cheapest food is mostly not always the healthy food. Make most of your meals by yourself and you will eat differently. Eat less as we all eat to much in the western world. Gather yourself around with people who thinks similar and try the same. In that way you'll feel stronger and more positive in your attitude. 

You don't have to be a vegan and avoid milk and eggs and cheese, but take less of them as this is also an industry with horrible side effects for the animals. 

Because let's be true, to change your food habits takes time and it has to start in your mind. And yes mankind would not have survived without starting eating meat, although no one can be for sure. And that an elephant does not need meat is typical vegan to show us that we don't need it, but there are other big animals who eat just meat as lions, crocodiles and those are one of the oldest race of earth. So find better reason to avoid meat! The same with taste- meat does not taste itself is a lie it taste and plants can taste awful and boring or nothing at all. So the reason lies in how we treat each other, or nature and ourself. The reason has to lie in your empathy and what future you want for mankind and as one can be  sure- too much meat makes us more aggressive as we need to be.  

But after all, all your body needs will contain in plants but read through a lot of literature and be critical as here we have on every side lobby politic working. 

Much listening to your inner voice will be needed in the end. 

I am pretty sure your way will go up and down and change in more then one way, but nevertheless- this month can give you the chance and the reason to start.

LOVE & LIGTH 

Do you feel you're drown in fear‏?

Is mankind going mad? Or are we just bonkers?

Seems autumn let us easely feel that things are going to en end, also that some things seems to be hopeless. Yes some people feel already hopeless and I mean with life itself, with the politics and the way we have our work done. 

Have we failed? 

Just now it seems in many parts of the world that out of the earth comes hell. Many times this hell is colored in the name of god. 

When you read the news you may feel there are more wars then ever going on, but actually there are not. 

But the wars have changed and became bigger, harder and worse in any meaning of the word. 

We fight with words and we fight with guns. We fight us till death do us part and we fight mostly so blind. 

We fear that war can come back even in countries where war was long time thought to be gone but let's look on the streets and there are the so called soldiers. 

We long believed it was just about oil and water but actually it is mostly about power and systems. Which system do you believe in.  Who has the most power.

To be clear there are all in all two different wars, some sometimes connect to each other too. 

The war because of dictatorship and power and the one for telling others what to believe in. The wars in the name of god. And both have a very dangerous similarity- both are lead by people who do not except another options and believes. 

Both work with a lot of propaganda in every way possible. Both work with the fact that mankind is easy to keep alive without its mind. Better a living robot then a living mind. 

Both systems forget or ignore that achieving success in the future is only to get with a living mind. But they will not listen untill they have no choice. 

And most of all, both system work with a fact that many others use too. Fear. Keep people in fear. Make mankind fear change. Make them fear an own mind. Make them fear losing their jobs and money. Make them fear their own future and this will always played by words who tell them that there is no way out, no other way, no chnace, no nothing and absolute just the slave way to live as they say, though they never say you are a slave but this is what they want you to be. A slave, a living robot, but never a living mind. 

So keeping people blind is easy, for this game is played for a very long time. 

But fear will keep you little and week and blind and ill and most of all in thoughts you should better avoid thinking, if you want a free and happy life. 

Though all of us have been teached the truth and what a happy life means and money isn't part of it and not using your mind isn't part of it and going the path of another one isn't part of it. 

We all listened to stories of standing up, using your courage and strength. We all saw movies with simple people becoming heros as they just step out of the shadows other wants you to stand in. We all have read news about those who come together and fight for a better world. We all can read books about how to take your own steps. 

So why don't we? Because the first things we learn everywhere is- FEAR. We are warned in live everywhere. We are teached to be aware of what to do and what not and to fear that consequenses could be bad. We are also teached to much not to stand up, even if we have companion with us. So mothers and fathers- if you want a free child don't teach warnings first! Teach trying and trying till it is right for them. Teach them to use their own mind and that others don't matter if it is about what you have and can do. 

Oh how much have we heard that we can't do this and that.

How much we have learned this is to read everyday in the press as we read what we can't. 

Listen to the politics and see they do nothing cos they say they can't. Though all of us know we can. 

Yes we can, were the words Obama had with him but then he lost his own track, now he lives in fear more then ever though he had a chance. But that is another thing. 

We all believe from time to time we don't stand a chance, but we never really try and we far to less speak out about that. For if we did, we had to say that everything's is everyones fault. No one can say it was not even his fault. We all stick together in the same boat but we choose to ignore. 

Oh how many times TV Shows were telling us this. Star Treck, Dr. Who, Sherlock Holms, Chicago Hope etc...

But we have also learned with fear- to be blind when it is about all those things, though they sitt in the back of each and everyones mind. 
Actually you don't have to come from the western world to be able to understand this, just if you want. 
But here we come back to the wars- what is mostly feard by those who do the war? Education!

Education of the mind and the heart. Empathy is something which is very much needed for if you have one, you won't kill just because of some words, someone says. Empathy will tell you what is right and wrong and that stoning your sister because she got raped is wrong. You don't need a law to tell what is right and what is wrong but you need and open mind. Sadly some countries have to many young people who never got the education to make them thinking by their own and feel by their own heart and act in their own name instead of something strange. 

But an only well educated mind alone can also be a problem as it is that many smart minds are fools and believe in things who never could be right if their heart would be open and they truely had empathy. Here I blame all the man who make the religions world wide a game to follow without asking. This is a badder game then "Games of thrones" as it is so wrong in words and acting. The lying is so obvious but the people are made so blind with drugs and songs and pictures and dust.  

You feel maybe just now that your fear is going stronger and this is exactly what those people want with the whole risk to bring mankind in the dark age and in ful slavery. At the end mankind is not able to exist and this price they are easy and willing to pay as they only see themself. So many war people are willingly to pay the price and even people who seem not be at war they are as they sell all the things those war warriors need. And so are many rich people war people as they sell without a heart but claim they can't do different -thought they know they can but won't and have learned to ignore the consequenses as they never feel it self. Because they, from time to time let slip a man by and be free. That is actually how it is going. You do something deeply bad but as you seems to be from time to time a good man, you must have the right for another chance and be able to be loved. Because as no one is only bad from the ground.  

And here we have our chance. Knowing this we can go the right direction. Keep our focus on the nice and god things. Keep our mind open and never forget the shadows but we can step into more sun and out of all the misery as it is possible. Bad thoughs brings bad things. Good thoughs brings good things. The law of attraction. We all know it but as we fear and doub this law will show us darkness and so we believe that we are right what we fear, thought we would be right too and shown the reason why if we don't. THE REVOLUTION OF LOVE as we can read it sometimes is the right way and maybe the only way to save part of mankind and the world, thought things will change a lot untill we have a peace time again. And yes there will always be a shadow left behind. The dark will never fade but we can make it small. I won't promise the golden age but still we have the possibilities. I am sure we can, if we just want as more and more want and actually do. No wonder that the fights have become harder. They fear us- the awaken and free.

But we have to become stronger!

So---> Stop waiting constantly for a change. Be the change! 

And where do we stand now? In a time where the last fights are going on- again. Like in the Lord of the rings, we stand in the time of Frodo and his friends and we have to gatter around as the enemy is building up. This is Lord of the rings in real live. Books are made of our reality. Everyone of them. 

So our weapon is mind, education, heart and the revolution of love to focus at, as it is better to focus on something to fight for, then something to die for. 

Be Frodo, be a companion of Dr. Who, be part of the Enterprise or be mother courage. 

Never give up the hope and the way of Love as most of us know what Love is in some way. We all have knowlegde of the good things and the bad things that may be. We all know no risk, no fun and no success.

Yes we have become a bit to lazy and sure of ourself and that's why fear had it easy, but we can still let it go and smile. A bit fear never killed you, but if you let the fear rule you, it will kill you for sure in some way.  

Which side are you on? It's time to decide! Will you be still the weakest link? Or will you strongen? 

This all may sound very philosophical but it is very, very clear part of our reality.

For me, I will go the way of light and love as much as I can and I will help you and let me help from you as much as it will be. 

Dead- the one we fear so much should be our reminder that life is better to live happy then waste in shadows. You may live a long life in darkness but happiness won't reach you as Gollum never was happy that way.  

So my dear readers, decide it's time!

Drown in fear or get out of it and fly in hope and positive spirit.

Act up and stand up!

It's a hard way, yes, and it is maybe a long time going on untill we can call things good again in all meanings. No, no one said it would be easy, but no one said it has be that far. 

Sometimes I wonder who you are.

But nevertheless it is a way out of fear- and so let's start with to say goodbye to fear and laugh into the eyes of the enemy- 

Halloween is the right time for this! Happy Halloween and as always...

...LOVE & LIGHT

777 Berlin

Happy Birthday to my hometown. 

Now you have the age of 777. Well if this isn't something to celebrate! 
Although you could be older then we actually know as it is the case that we found evidence who are older then this official date. But anyway older or not you gotta have a history on your back. Becoming one town as you were two villages -> Berlin and Kölln. Now you have taking inside your belly all the other villages around you which is quite a very differnet history to most towns of the world if not you are the only one made of villages, which by the way everyone can still feel walking through the streets. But you got the best and worst too, inside your liveline. So has Art of every kind found a place to start and stay (most of the time) and express but also facist minds got a starting and melting point in you. Oh two world wars and a wall in the middle and around your town have cross your heart for a while. 

I can pretty well remember 27 years ago, you were still parted in two we celebrate your 750 birthday and all the kids in the east part had to wear something traditional from Berlin- meaning being a shoemaker boy or a flower girl and like that. We did remember your past from the 1900 till 1930... mostly...
Yes. How crazy life can be with you and how challenging for every town in the world. Oh you had first just as every city one big centrum and then two- now you have three and actually no real one and above all this you have with the Potsdamer Platz kind of a town in a town. 
Always changing your way of being but actually you stood the line as you where a town not for everyone but the outsiders and creative people in good and bad. 

So just now I fear you could just for a moment forget about this, about you as you have become bit too cheap and a bit to much for everyone. 
But chances are on all your ways and you got a lot of people who actually care about you and remember that you never need to be a town like the others. Be special, be love, be creative, be one of it's kind and by the way- you don't need to compare yourself to other towns as it was never in your blood. You'll never be Paris and London or New York and why should you. You are a big dame, but a very special and very big dame. No lady at all but you can be smart if you want and be nice too-  o.k. maybe your kind of a funny girl and sometimes lady too. 
Berlin, your green, so green and have so much space that no one ever needs to feel spaceless. 
Which most of your people really do appreciate. And so most of us are quite happy that you have stopped going faster. It does not do good for you. 
But now... it is much fun being with you, all the culture, clubs and stores, all the possibilities to have a family and meet friends, all the coffee shops and nice places we can walk, your TV- tower and Funk- tower, your parks and hills and oh your old and new houses and yes all the not so nice buildings too, your art scene and music scene is splending and you give so much creative impulse that it is a gift for us. My dear thank you for so much and much more in good ways and things, even though we sometimes forget it and are overshadows of fear and dark nights and crime as it is a big town with problems as many towns have. 

Berlin I toast to you as you gave me a place to grow and find people I will never miss and also people who in their way thought me a lesson or two. Thank you for teaching me to fight in all ways and also for trying all the way I want to. Yes, Berlin you have in Germany the most start ups who succee and you are a place to try without fear whatever it may be a man is curious about. Thought some people do this without a look of what they do to others. But my dear I thank you for always show us the light if we fear the dark. And for myself the tv-tower should stand as long as possible, because it is a fixing point and a sign of hope and orientation. Stand tall and be proud and be real, but most of all be Love.
Berlin is Love and so Berlin loves you!
Happy Birthday!

The genetic of our culture we've been grown from...

When you try to live in another country you will come one day to the point where you realize how deep the culture you have lived with most of your life will affect your stay in the new country.
It is a background you will be more aware then ever and in the same time many question are popping up into your mind. 
Starting maybe with the fact that you may take a walk around in your new country and try to discover new places and so you find things they made to remind people of their past and history of this land. As all countries nowadays are made of all the people who came across the ocean, people who rode across the other countries to get in touch to you. 
What would we be if we never met each other that way in the past. We exchanged food, lifestyle and knowledge. 

Expect those reminder on strange places as this is often the case, even here in Gothenburg you'll find those things when you walk and try to look an other way as you used to. 
So I found evidence of the asian contact Swedish people had somewhere between the streets. Yes not saw them when I walked by a several times but then, it was discovered. 
Of course you maybe then start to wonder how people can hate other people, strangers or refugees. 
It's those looking with a blind eye that makes it possible. 
And many do not take the opportunity to discover other countries to their heart when they make their holiday there. Sadly, far to many prefer to stay blind to all that could be because they have somehow in mind all they need is all they already have and they will get whatever they want and so there is no need for more but that they always could be wrong does not come to mind. 
Anyway, when you start to go a new way you will come to the point where you ask yourself not only to see the difference between the old and new or to see what could be possible. You start to wonder what of all the different things may fit you and with which you may never come to make peace as some things can be compromise but sometimes you won't. It actually does not matter why, as it is often just a feeling and then the mind who declares the reason why. For other people it may not be logical but when does have feelings inside you have to do with logic. 
The trouble is, that if you are a man of mind you will get confused for a short or longer time and it won't be easier when you get back to your old home and then again come back to your new place. 
That is what I experience now, the different feelings of all good and bad here and back. The awareness of what I can and want to deal with and what not. The discovering that even known that I am living just now in Sweden it just came to my inner place that when I came back the other night that I had the strange feeling of being in a book, being in another country. Already realized that living in a nice and clean town, as Gothenburg is very nice and clean, it seems to me to clean, to quite and then I wonder... has the genetic of my hometown Berlin become that much part of myself that I feel less comfort with such a place like this here in Sweden? Because that is what will come to your mind. The places you're crown will make it into your flesh and the way you lived your live back then too. 
Wonder then how a refugee must felt as they are not here because they wanted, more that they needed to flee. How must this feel for them. Better being on a modern place? Maybe it is not. 
Also being in a foreign place makes you aware of what you like and what not, because it is always easy to make the mind stray but in new places you have no other choice then take this path and decide if you care, if you like and if not what to do and how to react. 
This is much what I do now.
And just now leaving my old flat and now living in a rented room is a compromise I do as I always lived alone, but as this is not for all time, but nevertheless leaving my flat feels good as it was planed so and so. 

Travel the world and living on other places as the one you know may give you the feeling of being lonely or and then being free, may give you the idea of what could be but most of all, after you felt all this it will most likely make you wonder where home is and where you will be in the next year as you may realize that you've changed from a man who believed that there is only one place of happiness and future to a man of the world and maybe you will become one of those who will live on different places all their live. 
I know some of them and I for sure know I won't crow old in Sweden, as I realized that I want to discover more and more. 
But so it is important for you to make friends all over the world who can not only help but teach you and give you strength just by being there. Then you maybe will also- like I - discover that you will survive somehow, even know your mother and father will not feel the same sure as you, as parents used not to do- how open they may be. 
Smile about that, that's the right way. 
Also many of you will feel that money is really not everything that matters to stay or to go. It is the way you feel how you want to liv your live. Thought as a single it is surely different to be in places no matter where there are. 
But no matter what you do.. all comes to clear and in the end every step you do is right, thought it may not always feel like this, but it will led you to the place you have to be and mistakes are just things to learn from, challenges to take and to remember to take the word problem out of it will help you a big deal because then you will always be able to stop and do it different. How can you not win that way. And with that positive thought I will leave you for now... enjoy the autum/ fall.

Love & Light
