It is strange..

To complain all the time. Still if I do not complain loudly I do it within my brain. The summer arrived to Prague earlier than expected. Now it is the second day when we have a temperature high in heaven. And on those days I do tell myself how beautiful it would be to have a proper rain comming down. And I know that it there would be a row of days with rain comming down I would wish the sun would push the rainy clouds away again. I guess the same works with everything. Job, hobbies and last but not least..women. Well well well. It seems like the best in everything os the middle (golden) way. Not eaiting too much but also not eating at all. Not talking too much but also not being a silent bird. So we can say for these things we should not do them in a way of extremising the act itself. And there are other things where we apart from the said above try to give our best. Like in competitions or in our behaviour. Of course an athleet must excercise to give good results and he or she will excercise in a way of trying good and then a bit better. Why? 'Cause the body has its limits. Opposite that way of thinking is our behaviour. No matter what situation or time we shall give our best results. Wrongly said. There is no competition and we are not obliged to behave in a certain way (well we do in a society) but there is something called the moral aspect of an act. Lets say it is a mix of an idea turned into behaviour critisized (in a good or bad way) by others. It is true that no matter how we behave,such behaviour needs to be seen by somebody to judge. Or. Or? Yes. Bravo Socrates. He says through the pen of Plato (or Plato througb the mouth of Socrates?!) that there is always somebody to watch our deeds. Us. Our moral self-awarenes. Because there is an ongoing dialog in us..before we do something wr ask ourselves first for an opinion.

A lesson..

Of archery is something quite a wonderful and unique experience. Standing im front of a target,20,30,40,50 and so on meters (guess the olympionics have 18 with a really small target) thinking about the way how to shoot..not the fact that you shoot,but the way you do it. Once I read a book about a connection between japanese art of a bow and a sort of meditation. Trully there is only way goal..to shoot the arrow,BUT the way you shoot it starts at the very basic ground of the act itself. The body stand. The arms. Fingers. Neck. Elbows and even the face and the mind..well well of course there are many sports we can talk about the same and also the fans will tell me that this is not unique at all just for me it was..at the very important moment..how you let the arrow go..in that very particular moment your body gave the arrow all from the way of preparation. The mind switches of instantly. Someone would say wonderful (it seems to be a way of art,in the meaning american football is a way of being fast and strong) thanks to this I am travelling home with a peace in my mind (an idea worth spreading try to watch a movie called peaceful warrior..not the best movie ever and you can see similar plots in other movies as well,but in the time I wad watching it,it really caught my mind..for seconds)

Marriage..

Is kind of an agreement between the two involved. Why agreement? Because they agree to behave in a certain way. Why two? Because it is common in european tradition to have monogamistic marriges between men and women. So far good. What will happen if one of the two will break the agreement? Punishment? Social punishment for sure. Maybe divorce,maybe something else. But is divorce taken as social punishment nowadays? Probably not a punishment anymore but something very common in our society. How does a man feels when he is married and the friends around him tell stories about dating women,getting them in bed,being free in matters of relationship. Well for that I have an answer right from my experience. It feels awkward becase he was used to do the same before the marriage and yes he misses it time to time,yet he knows what a precious woman he has at home and wants to show her his will (some would say commitment) to stay with her and her only. But is that a good thing? (for men)

Hot hot spring..

Came to Prague. People wearing shorts and shirts. Got to a point when I do not want to stand up from the bed. There is so much hot air without oxigen in the room that it makes me feel very sleepy. On the other hand I know I have to stand up,to go to work and to earn some pennies. The way to the bus station is good. Sun shines,wind blows,but once u enter the bus doors and you sit down it takes you back to the hot oven feeling. Of course,being on a park,laying on a blanket or grass and just relaxing under the sun with the wind blowing away the hotness,thats a moment everybody should experience.

Quite a long..

Time not having any thoughts written here. Moreover time passes by very quickly. Got an inner decision that having a major in applied ethics would be a nice fact. Reading through articles of Aristotle, Arendt Hannah, Platon, Kant and of course a bit of Nietzche I am finding out that a question what is good and what is bad is a real pain in the ass. Why? Pretty easy we do not have (and Kant did not help much in setting up an imperative, an objective rule which would decide what is good and what not.) When I got to this fact it appeared to me as a something worth spending my time on compared to other areas of my interest (history and languages).

It hits..

Me when I think how people say something but their behaviour proves something different. I was thinking that many people nowadays (me included) are selfish although they say they are not. How come? Most of the people are unbelievable selfish when it is touching the question with whom they will spend their life. Contemporary idea is that you choose your partner for your life (of course you dont have to stay with your partner forever a simply divorce). We do not have (in the majority of west world) marriages agreed in a young age of both participants. Easy live your life but nobody will push you into living a life with somebody you dont want to. Question is was this 'possible' in the past? It just seems to me that all these thoughts about love which nowadays has the implications of being romantic (compared to the past) and we demand falling in love, being attracted to somebody even having a loving partner and a beautiful relationship for the whole time of being together. BUT thats apparently not how the reality works. Having struggles in place is common and we simply (yes it is simple if we count with that) need to solve them instead of leaving them behind unsolved and having a new partner instead.
