Ein Besuch bei der Dame Berlin

Nachdem ich nun wieder einmal Berlin für eine andere Stadt verlassen hatte, sah ich bei der Rückkehr meine alte Dame wieder ganz klar mit anderen Augen. Obschon ich in der Vergangenheit zum Beispiel Göteborg mit Berlin zu vergleichen versuchte, so ist mir doch diesmal mehr als klar geworden, die Städte lassen sich nicht vergleichen. Auch London, New York und Paris lassen sich einfach nicht mit Berlin vergleichen. Barcelona dagegen schon eher.
Aber halt, die Dame ist doch gar nicht so alt, obschon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, ist sie eigentlich eine recht junge Gestalt auf der Landkarte. Und wenn wir schon am genau hinschauen sind, eigentlich ist dies Mädel keine Dame, war es nie und wird es nie sein, schon gar nicht eine feine. 
Aber das Mädchen ist aus dem Jugendalter heraus und wird so langsam erwachsen und verhält sich eben so, wie viele es in diesem Stadium tun. 
Der Esprit der ersten Jahre ist vorbei, zusammengewürfelt ist die Identität doch eigentlich auch längst nicht am Ende des Weges der eigenen Findung, jedoch ist mein Mädchen gerade dabei zu vergessen, was sie ausmacht(e).
Das Erste was mir auffiel war, das meine alte Heimat doch ein recht dreckiges Plätzchen ist und das viele vergessen, das sie eben eine Stadt aus Dörfern und nicht ein Dorf das zur Stadt geworden, ist. 
Berlin du bist einmal zwei Dörfer gewesen. Berlin du hast deine ganz indivuduelle und besondere Geschichte. Du hast dich aus vielen Teilen erschaffen, bist ein Ganzes geworden und hast dich wieder zerteilet. Du bist keine Stadt wie eine andere. Du bist einmalig und hast das irgendwie gerade auch selbst vergessen.
 
Aber dieser Schmutz, dieser Grauschleier der über der ganzen Stadt zu liegen scheint, er ist alles andere als die feste Zukunft der Stadt.
Was braucht es, um hier wieder mehr Durchblick zu bekommen?
Sicher muss das Mädchen sich vor allem erst einmal wieder daran erinnert, das sich ab und an am eigenem Schopfe packen eine Option ist. Denn bequem ist sie geworden, hat sich an den Schmutz gewöhnt und sieht ihn nicht mehr, ja betriebsblind nennt man das auch.
Nein eine Dame ist sie nicht, aber sie war schon einmal gepflegter. Hat sich mehr um ihr Aussehen und um ihre Gesundheit gekümmert.
Ja Mädchen du hast vergessen, das billig etwas anderes ist als günstig. Du warts günstig, aber immer auch offen und mit Niveau, jetzt aber läufst du Gefahr billig und beliebig zu werden.
Was hast du dir dabei gedacht, z.B. Primarkt und Co an deine besten Plätze zu setzen?! Merkst du nicht wie du damit dein eigenes Niveau herabsenskt?! Wie du dir deine Gesundheit ruinierst.
Nein billig und beliebig geht sehr schlecht zusammen mit einer Zukunft die du haben könntest, denn Geld, Arbeitskraft und Platz ist da. 
Du weisst schon das Qualität ein wichtiger Begriff ist und durchaus Geld kosten darf. Als Preussens Hauptstadt solltest du dich einfach nur erinnern müssen.
Aber dazu musst du dir erst einmal ein paar Flausen aus dem Kopf schmeissen. Wer hat dir nur beigebracht und das auch noch glaubhaft, du seiest eine Weltstadt? 
Berlin du wirst nie eine Weltstadt sein, aber du warst immer eine gute Stadt zum leben, starten, ausprobieren, kreiren und zusammenführen. Wie konntest du das nur verdrängen? 
Drum erinnere Dich, was du eigentlich bist! 
Das Mädchen mit der sympathischen, etwas ruppigen Schnodderschauze, mit Biss und Witz. 
Gerade aber bist du wie ein dummes Teenecher Girl, das Seifenopern schaut, statt sich dem eigenem Leben zu widmen.
Ich mache mir Sorgen was aus dir wird, wenn du dich nicht endlich wieder aufraffst. 
Ich weiss du hast das schon mal gemacht und jetzt ist es wieder höchste Eisenbahn! 
Stelle wieder Anforderungen an die, die bei dir sind, denn wer bei dir sein will muss mit den Konsequsen leben können. Wer Scene vor der Haustür haben will, muss den Lärm ertragen. Wer interessante Läden haben will, der muss dort kaufen und wenn Du meinst du verdienst zu wenig, dann fordere mehr ein, denn Geld ist da. 
Arm, aber sexy ist vorbei und nun geht auch der Wowereit! 
Feiern darfst du, aber räume auf, wie du es früher gemacht hast. Lade ein, aber kontrolliere wer kommt und stutze auch einmal zurecht, ganz wie du es früher getan hast. Sei Flexibel, aber nur wenn es auch kreativ und sinnvoll ist. Denn du bist etwas wert! 
Hör auf darauf zu hören, was andere sagen und mache endlich wieder dein Ding! Lass dir verdammt noch mal nicht einreden, du sollst dich wie eine Landprinzessin verhalten und gleichzeitig Weltstadt sein. 
Du warst immer das Volk, aber immer nur dein Eigenes. Es konnte nie jeder bei dir sein und bleiben. 
Jetzt aber lässt du jeden rein und versuchst für alle da zu sein. Lass das! Damit geht dir deine Seele kaputt. 
Du bist nun einmal alles andere als ein Auffangbecken für Otto Normalverbraucher. Du warst immer für die Aussenseiter da. Halte sie, hole sie, gib ihnen wieder ihren Raum. 
Ja, du hast zu wenig Wohnraum, aber bleib auf deinem Wege und lasse Bäume und Gärten da sein. Lass deine Taschen kreativ füllen, statt mit Spiessern. Spiesser haben genug andere Städte in Deutschland zur Auswahl. Wer ein normales Leben will, kann es woanders finden. Wer Weltstadt haben will, geht nach London und Co. und wer pickfein und sauber leben will, der darf sich aus einen der vielen anderen Städte etwas heraus suchen. 
Aber Berlin, mein Mädchen, sauberer musst du schon sein. Kämme dich und wasche dich öfter, geh aggressiver gegen Schmierereien und wildes Plakatieren vor. Lass den Müll nicht immer den Geistern dieser Stadt und schmeiss die Weltstadtschuhe weg und ziehe wieder deine anständigen, festen aber doch schönen Treter an. Rustikale Schönheit ist sehr wohl Lebens- und Liebenswert. Lass dich wieder frei atmen können und tritt all denen in den Arsch, die meinen dir sagen zu können, wie und was du zu sein hast!

So und nun... sei gesegnet mit ganz viel Licht & Liebe....

A swedish fairytale

A long time ago, there was a boy. He was sitting on a stair in the summer sun. Just had his breakfast and a good nights sleep is behind him. An open book on his knees and he is reading, reading very concentrated and curious a book of flowers because he found so many different in his garden, that he just had to know more about them. 
Suddenly a read dragon fly sits on the book page. Doing nothing more then just to sit and the kid is amazed. Just for a moment he thinks this is unreal but then he wonders, wonders why just now this animal is coming to him as the dragon fly moved its head and say: -Boy, if you will not shut down your mouth, you're never gonna ask me why I can help you to get the answers to your questions!-
Of course our little Boy is surprised and has hard to get an answer, but as the dragon fly is trying to fly away, he starts talking and first he is asking the dragon fly if this is real or just in his mind. But the dragon fly has no answer to this but tells him if he wants to take a ride then he just has to close his eyes for a moment and when he opens them he will be on his best adventure ever. 
Sure our boy is a bit afraid and has his doubts but then he thinks, why not, if this is really happening then it has to be like it will be but if he open his eyes and still sits on the stairs, well then this will tell him he had a dream.
So he closes his eyes for a moment and at the same time he started to feel that something is changing. And as he opens his eyes again he knows right away why. He has become smaller, much more smaller and he is sitting on the back of the dragon fly, ready to fly away and so they do not wast a second. 
Our little boy Moritz, he feels the wind and in the beginning there is so much to see that he lose his control over the path. He does no longer know where they are or where he is going to fly. Just now he sees trees, and plants going by, and some colorful shimmering through the branches and twigs. He hears the wind rush in his ears and then they land. Land in the middle of nowhere and under a little and very young tree. Moritz sits down by the dragon fly. Looking around and has to take his hand before his face because the sun is bedazzle him. After a while he discover a little red house up on a tree. 
Of course he wonders who is living there and so he ask the dragon fly but the answer he gets is to go to the house and knock on the door.

Then the dragon fly is all of a sudden flying away, leaving our boy alone without the promised answered. A moment of despair but Moritz has nothing to get from it so he decides to go to the house and do as he is told. Actually he has to climb up a bit but as he always like to climb with his dad everywhere they are, he has easy with it and just minutes after he waits for someone to open the door. 
But there is no one home. So what to do now he wonders. Looking around, he thinks it's maybe best to go down again and find someone to ask the way back home, because just now he wonders if he ever comes home. And while climbing down a wind comes up and blows him of and into the air and just seconds later he lands on a leaf.

Upon him a very beautiful flower. She immediately starts to speak to Moritz. - Little man can you help me and give me some water? I am so thirsty.- Moritz is looking up to her, shaking his head to be sure he was not dreaming, that a flower has just spoke to him. As he becomes sure he says:- Of course, of course I just have to....- and he searches the ground for something which looks like water and there not far away was a fantastic fountain.

He jumps down without any fear and runs to it. 
But how to bring the water from the fountain to the flower? Moritz can't find something which could help and so he believes he had to pray for a flash of ideas. 
What would Moritz do at home? He lives in a big town, where everyone seems to have everything and you just have to go out of your house and buy in a store what you need if you have not it home. 
This is ridiculous! How can there be a store in the wood?! There must be an other way! 
Just when Moritz think he will not find a solution he found his hands. Use your hands! He thinks and so he does. 
Thought this took him a long time but at the end the flower was satisfied and humming. How lucky Moritz got. But now he has to move on and so he says goodbye and as he is taking his first steps right into the wood, ready to find his way home, the flower calls him to search for the butterfly, who is always next to the rose. 
Moritz, already in the wood, is smiling because he believes the flower was just repeating a poem or something like this. You know, there was not a single rose in the wood and the wood became more and more mysterious as he went on.

So many ways, so many fallen trees, so many possibilities to come home. 
Just like home, when he walked between all the houses, along all the streets he never knew and when he think something is near, he realize after a while that he was wrong and his way needed more steps to take. Just like when he thinks everyone is nice to everyone, he realize some people are just mean without a reason. It seems like this but he thinks that can't be. Why dislike someone? 

Seems Moritz has to go a long way through the wood as he sees a bike. Could this be a sign that he is on the right way? 
He looks around but no one is to see. Who owns a bike? Who left it there?

He calls, shouts and listen into the wood but again, no one's home. How strange. 
Can this become more strange? 
It can and as he decides to go further he comes along dead trees areas just like in dark histories for children.

Moritz feels he loses his positive attitude for the walk home. He thinks that he will not find his way back. Not today. As this is not enough his stomach reminds him, that he needs something to eat. But no berries, no mushrooms are on his way. What a strange wood. What a strange way.
Just before the last rays of sun are coming up, Moritz sees a chair. Like a throne. A throne in the wood and it was very much like it, because this chair seems to be on a higher top.

But it was just a chair and again, after searching, calling, no one calls back, no one comes. Moritz decide to climb on and then sit on the chair. He needs a break and will only close his eyes for a moment. 
The moment obviously became a few hours as it is dark when he awakes. Completely lost his orientation he has to remember what he saw last time. And he remembers a little shed on the right side of him, just a few meters away. The moon shines through the clouds and trees just in the moment when he stands up and wants to go there. 
Lucky guy he is, that the moon is not thinking to leave him and so he comes to something made of lumber. Moritz is very tired and wants to sleep as he knows there is just now nothing he can do to come out of this situation. Looking down to find the right place to plane the right position for the night, he discover a naked snail.

Has it rained he wonders but then he just ask the snail, where she is going and if she can tell him where he is. The snail, not happy having company on her way, just answer with a very bitchy tone that the stupid boy has to ask the frog as she does not care about him. 
A frog? In the wood? Where? Moritz is trying to find this guest in the house and there it is, right in the corner, trying to get on with his way through the wood and night, because he is not afraid and does not need light to know where to lay his feet. 
Moritz, smart as he is, offers to help for a question.

The frog first not wanted to listen, but as Moritz talks to him again the frog man stops his action, sights and looks to him. - O.k. Kid, was is the question?-
Moritz, happy that someone seems willing to help him ask about a way out of the wood. 
-Easy my little kid. Just follow the sun in the sky, she should be always right above you and watch the clouds they used to go westward, so you know where north is. Because it is the way north. Never leave the path you find behind this pergola. It is the only right path and on the intersections of two paths, look for the gray flower and there you can ask the bees for the rest of the way. Don't be afraid of them, they just want the honey of the flower but if you will be hectic they will fight you, because they will be remind of their enemies. Don't ask me who they are, but maybe you can imagine, as people like to go to war.-
That was just an amount of information and clearly the frog has to get his help and for a short moment Moritz though this little frog wears a hat. Just like being in Alice in Wonderland. What a nice thought. 

The next morning, first blind from the sun rays, Moritz is ready to try it again, finding his way back home and getting the answer he was looking for. 

With this sunny day, the wood was less scary and seems right about as it was and so interesting. He could smell so much different and new and all the little insects who where just now not that little because he himself was still a small man. 
Sure he maybe had been faster when he would have been bigger but that thought never came up to him. Instead he was jumping and humming and singing quietly and had easy to find berries to eat. He felt just happy. Another day, another chance and it all has just started so he was very astonished as he already came to the point where two paths cross each other. It felt a moment sad for him, but just a little moment and then he found that silver flower. There was a bee but no, there were two, no three, no four and more and more. Moritz wait and counts the bees. Seven bees on just one flower and they really did not seem to notice him. Sure, Moritz did as he has been told and was slowly and silent when he came. But he has to ask for the way so he clears his throat softly. 
You may think a bee can't talk to a little kid, who is actually big as they are. So imagine how afraid you could be asking a bee. But Moritz was not afraid, just had his question and longing to come home. 

The bees were very nice to him. It was the left way he had to take, just one hour and he will see the wood will lighten and then the sand will come. He will come out of the wood but has to go in again to finally come out of him. The last steps are to take over a bridge which may or may not go over water and then he will arrive at the big ocean. There somewhere he has to search for the roses and the butterfly.  
Yes, again- those roses and the butterfly. Was this actually something real? 
Moritz promised himself to take it seriously and look out for them. 
Ninety minutes later, Moritz leaves the wood and then found a dark entrance into it again.

Deep breaths later, after another long walk through a narrow forrest, Moritz could see a bridge shining through the branches and as he comes nearer he not only sees sand, he feels it and a very warm breeze welcomes him as he finally stand on a sand dune and has the most wonderful sight he has ever seen in his life. 

What a relief. What a joy. 
Now the roses! Where are they? 
Two hours later he found them and just three meters from them he found the butterfly. Waiting for him.
Telling him, that he will get his answer soon, soon but not now. 
Oh what a disappointment. But then it was not such, because he could not remember what question it was. Was there ever a question? 
Was there? Was there any question then the way back home? 
- Come on kid, sit on me, I fly you home, fly you home over the ocean, the hills, the seas, the fields, the woods, the houses and streets and be sure you will feel save on my back.-
Moritz had not a single doubt that this was true and now he is flying, high above the earth and while he feels the wind whispering into his ears he understands, that he always was home as long he listened to his heart and had trust in what may come. 
Smiling is the time going by and he is falling asleep. 

Back in his own family garden he is still a little kid, little like the dragon fly and the butterfly who is telling him, that courage was all it took to take him through this adventure. The courage to stand up for what feels right and to respect each others life and being curious. 
Had he come home if he did not showed respect to the animals in the wood? Maybe not, because then he maybe would just now searching still his way out of the dark, while feeling that he could starve himself to death. 
So Moritz felt just great and grateful and while he closes his eyes just to enjoy this moment he grow, grow and grow and became as he was before, a little man, a human child on this wonderful planet, called earth, which is worth every fight to keep it alive- that for sure he knows for all the time in his life. 

So my dear readers, just a little story from a beach in Sweden and the wood you have to went through to see the ocean. 
Have a nice day, night ... and as always

International Day of Friendship

Not only is it today a day of friendship, but it's the 30. of July and that means it is the international day of friendship as this is to remind you what it is about.
All should have minimum one real friend in life. Many have none. Thought in time of Facebook some seem to have a thousand. But science has already made it clear years ago that near friends are hard to find because a near and dear friend is more then just a friend, more then just someone you know or share one or two interest. Although what a friend is actually is not to tell in one word. And some of us know very well that we have very different kinds of friends. Some are like family, some are just for the funny things and some are work friends and some are friends to travel with or some have friends to play a game with. You see, all this kind is real and worth sharing and caring for. But how does the deepest friendship look like? Is it like Bilbo and Frodo in the "Lord of rings"? I guess kind of. 
You have a true friend if you can confess whatever you did without fear. You have a good friend if you and your friend are doing things just because of love and respect and without expecting to get something in return. You sure have a dear friend if you can talk about anything and especially if you haven't seen each other a long time you still understand each other- those also without much words. Because your truest friend understands you without words. Sometimes it's like a marriage, sometimes you're like brothers and sisters, sometimes your best buddies and sometimes you're even more then lovers. 
It would be nice if each of us had minimum such a friend, but many have friends which they can have fun with but never can trust all the time or with whom they can talk about anything. Many have just companions which is in no way bad, but that means they can feel lonely and sad sometimes. Many people can share with others but will never be totally part of a circle of friends. Some don't even know how to do this, though you can learn from TV and cinema. 
And in times of Facebook there is the question, are internet friends true friends because they can share everything and read everything from you? I read that they are true friends but I think, this is just companionship. I am not saying that this is unreal or nothing worth. Actually friendships of all kind and ways can be cherished that way and keep warm and it's a fantastic way of keeping in contact to those you care, but be aware the internet is just the surface. Maybe you already know that and as we like to update us and make us better and as we like to tell things a bit more interesting, the internet will never be more then a medium to work with, but can never replace the talking on the phone, the meeting in real life and as I realized it not long ago- we even don't have the chance to follow all of our internet contacts, which is nothing bad but can make you confuse and forget that things stay out of sight and so sometimes you wonder why someone writes a statement you can't relate to. It's simple that the internet is unable to let you follow all and maybe this is a sign, a warning too... to all of us to remember that we can live with not knowing everything from each other. 
So let the emotion calm down sometimes is a god choice.

But to come back to the day of friendship. It is also a day to say thank you to yourself having friends. It is a day to be grateful to have friends and maybe tell them that you are happy to have them. You have every day of the year to tell how much you care and relate to them but sometimes we take them for granted and forget that they are a precious thing. 
So... no matter where you are my friends. I am very, very grateful and happy to have you. All of you- no matter how deep our friendship is, no matter how long it last, no matter what we share at last- thank you, THANK YOU for being there and being a friend and I hope I am good as I hope I can be for you.  May we share a bit of our lifetime, may we share things a bit longer and have some more memories. May we be there in hard and in good times for each other and when the time is over, let's hope we are grateful for the time we had and may we remember the good hours we had together.

Stonwall

On the night from the 27. till the 28. June 1969 in Christopher Street started the first real protest against the oppression from the police. Violence was the answer. Enough is enough was the answer. Queer people showed that they are indeed people as everyone else. They are not only week and have wigs and are easy to harm. They can fight for the right to dance, to live, to love as it is the most natural thing in the world. Being part of society means to live free and be what you are instead of hide and feel ashamed. Being people and love another people is very natural and can never be sick. Because Love is Love, meaning- it's a chemical reaction, it's a physical attraction, it's in your gene, it's what we all can feel, if we live with an open heart and it's a spiritual reaction and practice. 
So violence was the answer cos they were not heard before. 
And today after- let's think about, after 45 years, are we on a better way?
Yes, in many ways and many countries but also no in many ways and countries. In some it even becomes worse. 
In 77 countries homosexuality is still forbidden and will get you in prison or even dead. 
77 countries where they hide, live in fear, fight in the background, fight in the dark, need to believe that they have a chance to be taken as a man of the world worth living and get no harm, no matter if an other man think this is right or not because he does not understand that it is natural because this man just believes in what he had heard and believes what he has read or not, or because he just think he can pic a sentence out of the bible and claim we have to live that way, thought he never read the hole passage and understood that the bible is not a book to pic what you like or not but more a history document to read and see an idea of living and stories to safe live and that this book was written in a time where we lived t.ex. in the desert and after all that this book is written so many years after Jesus died and is not written from one single person and the not even chronologically and it took like 300 years to write all the passages and then after all not all who were written have stayed in the book at last. 
But I am drifting away.
We have come a long way since that but after 45 years it feels not that much, because just now we realize that so much was hidden and is vulnerable. 
The open homophobia is breaking out and that's a god thing because now we actually know. 
Yes in the beginning we have been ignored. Then people laughed about us. Since Stonewall they openly fight us and this is the last phase before people learn to understand us and take us for real.
But just now they fight us harder then since a long time. They beat us, smash us and try to kill us. For what? For blindness, stupidity, and for the reason that they are unknown to the subject and lost empathy. 
Because if they had empathy they would never do this. 
So let's teach them empathy, love and difference as in the same time equality. 
Let's teach them to think with mind, body and soul.
Let's teach them to learn to do this by them self. 
But they won't listen - do you say.
Right, many don't listen when we speak up, stand up, show us.
We have to waken them- but how? More words? More demonstration in silence, dance or with kisses?
Or is violence a choice to wake them up and make them look and listen to us? As it was 1969 needed. Is is needed now? Do we need a new Stonewall to collect us, to show us and get straight to the point again and then show them how to do it the LOVE way?
Lot's of discussion are needed but at the end we have to remember where exactly we stand.
There we wil know what to do, because I think, we have to do it all together, all ways and choices.  All variations (except those who means we fight against something- this way we lose, all will lose). 
Because that is the only way to get everyone to listen, because some will only act when they see a silent parade, others when they se a documentation, others will react when we fight back with a fist or showing a kiss. Then others will react when we show mercy or when we say out and loud and proud - STOP-! or they are people who will finally listen to arguments instead of following blind a word of a priest. 
Yes the time has come that it is no longer acceptable to hate gays and lesbians, trans and bisexual. The time has arrived that we all have to fight for the right to love without fear. No matter who you are. The time is here to see the light and stop being blind. 
And yes violence will be a part of it sometimes, because sometimes it's the first step which is needed to get out of a situation. It's the right to fight back. 
So.... to all the haters and homophobes.
Forget that we are a doormat, whipping boys, victims or scapegoats for t.ex. politics who just dislike the western living style!
WE ARE PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD WORTH THE SAME AS YOU!

LOVE & LIGHT

Master or Slave

Sitting in a coffeehouse and watch the people go by. Next to me the newspaper and I just read again of so many negative things going on in the world. Well, I know the press loves to write more then ever about negative things, but I do wonder. 
Wonder about all the reasons why things happen the way they do. Seems the world again is going more down then up and more in dark times then sunny times. Is this actually logical?
Do we need the bad times again and again to remember us what we should change and what we do?
Why can't we go the easy way? Or is it the easy way we think and then remember that the negative way is the hardest step to take? 
Do we now pay for all the last years were we loved to ignore to make it right. I mean let's face it. History is written in our books over and over again and lies are on our way. To many lies and to many wrong faces. 
How come that we can't leave hate behind? How come that we still have man with fascist mind? How come that all the extreme religion organizations can still tell people what to think and do? 
We never really took the enemy for real after they have lost. To many did go on with their life without any harm to them or even punishment. 
So how come after all the terrible things that have happened that we still are on the same road?
Don't they always say that life does change after those things?

The truth is, no matter how many terrible things may happen it does not mean that people change or do the real change. But why? 
Yes most believe, truly believe the are going to but then the every day life comes to you and time passes by and suddenly you're so far away from what you wanted once and many forgot or have hide it somewhere back in their memories what had to be done. 
Is it the fear, is it the unknown of the new times? Or are we just to lazy or is it that mankind is very good in telling them self a lie and giving reason not to do it today but still telling their must be a change?

So yes, we pay for all the things we have never done and all the things our parents have never done and our grandmothers and - fathers. But now some of you may say it's not their fault it's the politics fault and the industry and the rich man and the banks and the minister who lied to you. 
And you, you did not do anything to make this happen? Well you did. Now some may say what can a man, a single man do against those big, big lobby?
You can stand up and have courage. 
Isn't it crazy in next to every miracle, in every child story, every movie or TV show you can see that it is possible to stand up. You've ben thought but why don't you follow, if you do follow all the wrong things easy? 
Is it really that easy? Or have the BIG once the power and drag you in in the way they want you to be? To be lonely, afraid, unknown of your own potential or have most of us just become victims of our self? 
Why do many think we are so helpless, if we are not. Why do we close our eyes, if it would be better to have them open and know where you sett your steps?
Is it because mankind has thought them self the fair into blood? Is it that mankind has learned to fight a war instead of building up a home for everyone. Has mankind learned to much to kill and to close the mind over the truth? 
What truth? The truth, that is it not the fault of an organization or a BIG thing, it is.... human being are doing it. In good and in worse. 
But the test of power, the devil power seems more worth for too many. To stay blind is also for too many a way they choose and say they are just a victim and can't change. 
It's a lie but we like the lie.
Most do, dont they?
That's why we have new man with fascist mind, new man who build the bombs, new man who likes to see children starve to dead, new man to keep and blind eye on things wish never should happen to anyone or anything els who lives. 

So sad and it is easy to get angry about the fact that people like to be stubborn and stupid. But it never helps to be angry, it never helps to kill, it never helps to fight with the same weapon the enemy has. It never did and never will. 

Well, we all now this but then we forgot. It's like the silence who is around you and like the dead. We know and then forgot. Forget it every time we've remembered. 
So we don't need to think about it but most of our acting has to do with it. We do our choices known or unknown we always do. It is actually impossible to not make a choice so no one can say it's the fault of another one but we can tell the truth of compromises we took and take. We can see what we do and mostly we know where this will lead us. 
So how do we get our self to leave the path of lies?
Because all the lies have lead to far to many wars, to religions who made people stay stupid and telling things which are in no way what the most religion books are telling and after all you have a responsibility no one can take away from you, not even the priest or the politic man or or or. 
And while we all should know that each of us is equal and should have the same rights, we far to often make it otherwise. Most even think we are better then animals, but far to many are worse then them. But am I telling you something new? No. 

But are we Master or Slave in this game of life?
Is it about that? No.
It is surly not to take a side. Even know it may feel like this sometimes.
So it is a choice between our dark side inside us or the other side. We have both side in us, which is naturally cos like we all know if there is sun, there is shadow but we have a choice how big the shadow will be and how we will live. 

Above all this there is the question how to reach those who are not awake? Or should I ask you can we reach them? For we know very well that blind people are not to reach, no matter what we do. An extremist will never listen to you. The politic never cares about you and the industry owner will only listen to money or something else then you. 

So that means we can't do anything about the war regions? Well, actually never in the way we used to.
Meaning? There is a chance for change but it will not only take time, we believe we don't have and will cost a lot of lifes. 
Yes, many will die and many will be harmed at the end many will leave our way and be hurt. Seems mankind need this pain to really say yes to change in real. 
Lots of victims have been on our ways to change things in all the time we know about. Since we know and get to know our past with archeology we know the offerings, the pain, the mistakes and the dark sides, but also many good success and beautiful things have come to us. With this knowledge we can say that in our future there is a positive change possible if we really try and start with our own life. 
Hope. Yes, there is hope after all but for many people help will come to late and in some areas in the world peace will be a strange word for the next years too. 
Its human who do all the bad things and humans who do all the good things. 

To get awake and start living a life which includes others in love and peace is maybe a hard and painful way but nevertheless more then ever what we need if we will have a future. Just now many people are good in forgetting to make a good future and protest against each other and have connections which I remember we had long ago too and were so wrong and are it today too. Just remember the communist where working together with the fascist in their beginning and now the muslim are working with the nazis and all seem to forget that in their hate against another group their hate each other as well and will kill if the time is right. 
A mother will wonder why her child did say yes to such cruel thing and the father can only answer that the kid is blind. 
This has by the way nothing to do with god, it is human kind who did and do. 
So which side are you on?
And again... This is not the question. It is what way will you give to yourself and others to live by? No one needs to judge another man, but we do and forget that we don't see the whole truth. Things have become very complicated although it is very easy in the same time. 
Actually it is just to decide. 
That's the challenge. Thats the hope. 
And that was a blog with not a special topic but with a topic to include many happenings inside. 
I had the feeling that this is needed as we read of hate crime, of nazis and blind people because religion made them blind and of hate because people have learned hate to long and forgot that there is indeed an other way to live a life. I felt that we should really try to focus on the positive things we can do and live up to. Then we have a chance. There is still good things in the world which are worth to fight for, to open your eyes for to open your mind for. You have the courage inside you. Everyone has it. Just remember. Remember what you know inside you. The time for the next change has long ago arrived and if mankind will come to a better future we have to stand up and focus on the good things and remember. Use the good part of your ego and stop feeding the bad part. Stop feeding people who have loved their ego to much and only listen to the power of their own ego which exclude everyone and is at any cost to survive. 
Remember they are only people. Just like we. They only have the power because of you. Fight against them now? No. Fight for what you want! Ignore them as possible. Concentrate yourself on things you can affect. Start with yourself. Love yourself and forgive yourself for the past and let it go. Yes we have to let the past go. No matter what, there is no reason to keep on with it. It's actually stupid to keep on with the past cos you can't change it, but you can change the future by thinking the right things now. Who has began is unimportant and everyone who says it is is wrong. It's the past. Yes we got hurt. Yes we lost. Well make it better now. Let the mistakes teach you to do it the other way. The way of love and peace and respect. Trying to find those who are responsible for all the things in the past and the situation now is like trying to tell your toe that it is his fault that you went the wrong way. Because it was you and only you who did and nothing is wrong but we do mistakes. So stop saying you can't do it because you can but maybe you won't. Yes I am sorry if someone is telling you that you in that case have no right to grumble about your situation, because it is your own fault. So seeking the fault at others is in that way hilarious. 
Again, there is hope. Just remember. You can do it. 

LOVE & LIGHT
