Brilliant Thoughts of Eduardo Galeano I

"Church says: the body is a sin.

Science says: the body is a machine.

Advertising says: the body is a business.

The Body says: I am a fiesta."

" The food of the minority is the hunger of the majority."

"We live in a world where the funeral matters more than the dead, the weeding more than the love, and the physical more than the intellect. We live in the container culture, which despises the content." 

"We are the sum of our efforts to change who we are."

"We live in a world that treats the dead better than the living. We, the living are askers of questions and givers of answers, and we have other grave defects unpardonable by a system that believe death, like money, improves people."

"Advertising enjoins everyone to consume, while the economy prohibits the vast majority of humanity from doing so. The command that everyone do what so many cannot becomes an invitation to crime."

" I don't believe in charity, I believe in solidarity. Charity is so vertical. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other person. I have a lot to learn from other people."

"Hunting Jews has always been an European sport.

Now the Palestinians, who never played it, are paying the bill." 

"Don't you see? There are no doctors in Paradise. Diseases came after the doctors."

"Many little people, in little places, doing little things can change the world."

"Our system is one of detachment; to keep silenced people from asking questions, to keep the judge from judging, to keep the solitary people from joining together, and the soul from putting together its pieces."

"Fear of living, fear of falling, fear of losing your job, your car, your home, your possessions, fear of never having what you ought to have in order to be. In the widespread clamor for public security, imperiled by lurking criminal monsters, the members of the middle class shout louder. They defend order as if they owned it, even though they're tenants overwhelmed by high rents and the threat of eviction."

"Development develops inequality." 

"Each day has a story to be told, because we are made of stories."

"The big bankers of the world, who practise the terrorism of money, are more powerful than kings and field marshals, even more than the Pope of Rome himself. They never dirty their hands. They kill no-one: they limit themselves to applauding the show."

"If the past has nothing to say to the present, history may go on sleeping undisturbed on the closet where the system keeps its old disguises."

"Religious disintegration began with colonization."

"Disasters are called natural, as if nature were the executioner and not the victim."

"In 1492, the natives discovered they were indians; they discovered they lived in America."

Sustainable Capitalism?

Some of us have environmental conscience. Are concerned about the pollution, the destruction of nature and how that affects our health.

That same concerned people believe that is possible to keep their comfortable life of consumerism, as it is.

Didn't they really realise that is paradoxical!? Consumerism/capitalism and environment are not compatible. They cannot  coexist without destroying each other.

There is no such thing as sustainable capitalism/consumerism.

Those environmentalists strongly oppose to the highly polluent fossil fuels and to the nuclear waste of the nuclear energy. It's totally understandable!

They demand green and clean energies! But, they also oppose to the wind turbines, because it ruins the landscape and disturbs animals. And the dams, that destroys ecosystems.  It's totally understandable!

Some environmentalists support the use of electric cars but  at the same time, they oppose to the lithium mining. Which batteries are made of.

We can keep going...the paradox will not end...

There is no such thing as sustainable capitalism/consumerism.

Consumerism/capitalism and environment are not compatible. They cannot  coexist without destroying each other.

Brilliant Thoughts of Karl Marx

"Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains."

"The history of all previous societies has been the struggles of the classes."

"Social progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex."

"The production of too many useful things results ub too many useless people."

"Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand."


"it is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness."

"Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you are in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth  keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through."

"The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion."


"The increase in value of the world of things is directly proportional to the decrease in value of the human world."


"Capitalism" Teach a man to fish, but the fish he catches is not his. They belong to the person paying him to fish, and if he's lucky he might get enough to buy a few fish for himself."


"You must be aware that the reward for labour and quantity of labour are quite disparate things."


"Political power is merely merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another."


"Capital is dead labour, which, vampire-like, lives only by suxking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks."

Tabu Subjects I - Adolf Hitler

Almost all the schools in the world,  give special attention to the history's chapter of the 2-world war. 

It is described as a dark and evil stain in the human history, due to the genocide of 6 millions of people and to its monster - Adolf Hitler.

We study other dictators, but none receives the same number of pages in our books as Hitler - the devil himself.

But, why?

• The colonizers killed almost all the population of indigenous from the colonized countries - 200 millions. Not many were left. Even though this is described, in our schools, as something for us to be proud - The Time of the Discoveries

• Japan killed approximately 20 millions chinese during its occupation

• The Holy inquisition - the church - killed around 20 millions.

Just to name a few. However, none of those seems to be so horrendous as the nazis, in the eyes of our education system.

But why?

Why is so important for our education system to underline the horrors of the nazi german and the monster Hitler?

Why the european countries should be proud of the killing of 200 millions indigenous people from the Americas and Africa ,during the colonization and the german people have to be ashamed?

Isn't all evil and killing equally wrong? Not for the majority of the education systems in the world.

But why?

Digging deeper, out of the school's history books, I found some more unexpected informations:

- In the testimonies of some jews that are alive and were in the concentration camps, we can hear that it was a work camp. They were there to forced work.

They, also, describe going to the doctor, where they were going to disinfectants showers to avoid diseases.

We are, surely, not talking about a vacation camp - those people were forced to work against their will and many died of exhaustion and starvation.

But, why schools describe these camps, as death camps?

During wars, properties and lands are taken, people are made slaves and the majority are killed. So, what makes Hitler so different from the other dictators and war leaders?

This is not about defending Hitler, but trying to understand why is he so much evil than other country leaders that did the same or worst.

What do they want to hide from us?

There is nothing good in war and killing. And our world's history is filled with blood. 

The difference is that some countries manage better their propaganda. Some countries start wars with other countries for money, power and subjugation. But they call themselves heroes. Propaganda is the difference.  Because there is nothing different in killing.

Homosexuality

Homosexuality is not something new. Same-sex relationships are present in the history of our civilizations. 

Today, homosexuals are fighting for the same rights of heterosexual couples. 
After all, they are citizens and humans beings. Why the civil rights are not including them? Why can't they marry, have taxes benefits, etc ? 

All the human beings are "protected" by the universal fundamental  rights to be treated equally and with dignity.

We can't ignore something that exists. Ignoring is not going to make it disappear. It will just create new problems: discrimination, violence, lies, marriage for appearances, mental issues, etc.  
But is not going to make it disappear. 

When we force somebody to be what they aren't, they can pretend, but they will not change. The result can be people marrying others and having children just to fit in society and what society expect from them, but secretly maintaining homosexual affairs. 

This person is living a fake marriage, a fake life, but is also making someone's life fake. And the other person doesn't know. What it's even more sad. 

Wasting their lives... to please others, society.. but instead of one victim, there are, now, two.. maybe even more, if we count the children, caught in the middle of this acting play.

Homosexuals will find any kind of escapes, sometimes by becoming a priest or a nun and living a life of loneliness and isolation. 
Maybe is their way of asking forgiveness to their God, or to runaway from a society that doesn't accept them, because they cannot love, cannot marry, cannot have children, cannot live freely their love...cannot be themselves.


We cannot deny that the nature of sex is clearly procreation. When a man and a woman have intercourse, they will very probably generate another human being. To avoid pregnancy they will have to use inventions created by men. 

Anatomically, the shape of the male sexual organ is designed to deliver the sperm to the woman's womb. Males homosexuals are using the anus to deposit the sperm somewhere in the rectum, which main function is to expel the human waste. Female homosexuals aren't depositing nothing anywhere. 

The purpose of sex is, objectively, the continuation of the species.
The purpose of dating, marrying is, after all, to have children and to raise those children to marry and have children too.. perpetuating the species. 

This is the purpose of all the species of the world, to survive to procreate, for their species to survive and procreate. Only the strong survive.

So, why are same gender people attracted to each other? Going against their own anatomy designs? Don't they feel the need to leave their seed? 
Is this a form of natural selection made by nature? Only the strong genes will survive? Is that why a gender is not attracted by the opposite gender? Because their genes are not supposed to survive? And for that reason aren't meant to procreate?

There must be a reason why some people are attracted to the same sex gender knowing that they will never have a  natural family with the person they love. 
Even if they want to have children through insemination or adoption, they will always need the other gender to conceive... 

Obviously, nobody chooses to be homosexual. 
Nobody chooses to go the hard way. 
No teenager, that is still struggling to understand who they are, what are they doing here, how does this works, will choose to go against the whole society, the parents, their education, culture, traditions, religion, their anatomy, the way things are suppose to be normal,... 
Nobody chooses to be excluded, repressed, threatened, attacked, etc...

..And, if God created us, why would He create something against His teachings? Why would He create people that cannot follow his teachings? That cannot procreate? 
Dooming them to live without a natural family; not having nobody to take care of them in the old ages and to die leaving nobody to remember them...

If homosexuality is a sin, why would God create sin? 

How can homosexuals be religious? Nobody can follow a God that rejects them, calls them a sin, that tells them that their destiny is to burn in hell...

Homosexuals, surely, didn't choose who they were going to feel attracted to. 
Surely, they wouldn't go against their own bodies and the only normality they know, that is their society.

Some homosexuals want so much to feel like regular people, that they are, even, transforming their own bodies and replacing their sexual organs to match what they feel with who they are. 


Many homosexuals look so loud, funny and happy.. but behind that mask there's lots of suffering. 
Their fight is not easy. Fighting against everything, even their own body. 
They feel like a woman, but are living in a man's body...or they feel like a man, but they are carrying a woman's body, 

And it's kind of ironic that the man, that was always superior over women, in all civilizations of our world history, (and we can still feel, today, the sexism)..  his male body, that gives him the superiority, just for being man...wants to be a woman, wants to look like a woman, to sound like a woman, wants what woman wants.. wants somehow that submission.. Cause they feel like a woman...

...the male body with a woman mind...maybe the perfect human being! Strength and sensitivity.. 

Is this the beginning of a new human species? an evolution of the human race? Where men are born with more female hormones to become more sensitive, less violent? And women with more testosterone hormones to get more practical and tougher?

Maybe a bit more of each one will make a better human being...more balanced.. 

What we have now is clearly not working. The human species took over the world and is destroying it, killing our habitat, others species, killing each other, for everything and anything.. 

Is Nature or God trying to improve their creation? Is this an experiment? The course of human evolution? Will homosexuals be able to reproduce in the future?

Best quotes of Jim Morrison

"The future is uncertain but the end is always near."

"No one gets out of here alive."

"People are strange when you are strange."

"You feel your strength in the experience of pain."

"A true friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself."

"The most important kind of person is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel and in exchange, put on a mask."

"Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that fear has no power and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free. 

"People fear death more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. I guess it is a friend."

"Give up defining yourself. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves. It's their problem. "

"Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious presence."

"You can only lose something you have, but you cannot lose  something that you are."

- Jim Morrison

American singer and poet of the Doors

The New Censorship in the Democratic Countries

During monarchy and dictatorship, censorship was done by beating, prison, death penalty, exile, others.

Today censorship still exists, but disguised.

Today is made by creating false rumors in the media and social networks (tv, newspaper, magazines, social networks, etc) that triggers a sequence of events-reactions that will make that person to lose his/her credibility in the public eye.

- False rumors starts to circulate 

- Bad reputation 

- Social judgment 

- Loses job 

- Isolation

They are people that have power to influence people's opinion. This a modern way to make that person disappear. 

We should not believe everything we read. Sometimes we are just watching the "killing " of another public figure,  without even realising. 

A figure that became inconvinient to someone, to a company, to a brand, tv chanel, to a political party, others,  and needs to be silenced.  The public figure can speak but now nobody will want to hear it or hardly will believe it.

Catharsis

What is catharsis?

Catharsis is releasing emotions through music and dance

Catharsis is relaxing in a night out

Catharsis is crying for others misfortune, when in reality, we are crying of our own

Catharsis is the transformation during alcohol consumption

Catharsis is dreaming awake or asleep

Catharsis is giving voice to our inside world by using writing 

Catharsis is the struggle of showing what we should be and what we are 

Catharsis is finding some freedom

Catharsis is the unconscious form we found of running from, exterior or interior, censure, pressure, repression, passions, fears, memories, traumas..

Catharsis is letting the steam out..

People that let us be ourselves

Being ourselves is not easy in a society with so many expectations, social rules and morals.. A society that is always defining us.

Within the societies, in some social circles (school, job, family, etc) are people that have dominant-aggressive personalities and try to make us submissive to their wills and opinions.

Those people don't, really, want to know us. They just want us to be followers, to be a always say "yes" - person, to praise their ego.. 

Some people don't even try to be themselves anymore. They became their own masks.

Finding people that just let us be.. acknowledging that we are all complex and different creatures.. accepting the beauty  of creativity,  self-expression.. is not easy, but is a joy!

Not judging someone from what they think is the best job, the best look, the best decision, the best opinion.. 

What is the best for some is not the best for everybody. 
How so many people cannot understand something so simple?

We all have different desires, whishes, dreams... we all see and feel the same reality in different ways... we experience everything in our unique way. 

Nobody can define us, because, people, simply, don't know who we are. They don't let us be ourselves. Who we are is never going to be good enough for their expectations. Cause we are not their expectations. We are ourselves. And we will always be ourselves. But, unfortunately, a stranger for the majority of the people in our social circles. 

Normally, they don't even know who they are. They are too busy trying to fit in their social circles and match to society's expectations. This is what they do during their whole life. It must be exhausting...

We can be a functioning piece of the machine and still be ourselves.
