Cracky balance..

Of democracy which works only if there are people willing to live under such idea. Take the fact that we rely on many things and do care about a little around us..we are consumers, clients, users, but usually not producers, there are only a few of them who do create products..what we usually do is to provide service..more and more machines do products and humans do service or take care of the machines, robots. Now where I am aiming? Imagine a 'crazy' (does not need to be crazy, it can be also a very intelligent person) decides to ruin the system..either of democracy or the way we live. Breivik tried to do that. Die Hard 4.0 tried to show us how it could look and I start to think it is not very difficult to do that. And I also guess that the border..the block that it will not be possible to do it is not in place. The only 'block' we have that we think only a crazy person would want to destroy our way of living, our values. Why? Because then the life would not be easy at all not even for the destroyer.

Gaps..

in eduaction.. or in thinking.. or.. in.. giving a stop to a sentence somebody said.. a politian, or a friend and chew it for a while.. for a while till you will not only accept the thought of somebody else, but you will think what it means. there are moments when we read an article, or a book and we found ourselves eating the words, soaking them in our brain and taking them as they are sooo obvious, as they would be the truth. of course, it is partly because we read topics which are close to our human nature (some might like articles about economy, some about philosophy and some about physics or nature sciences).. but even when we read such article or a book from a well known (and respected) author, we should not give ourselves too much into the thought. why? because then we are like a puppet, like a human being easy to be dragged from one corner to other.. like a robot which is programmed in a way and it only depeds which "software" we load in. therefore (and I assume you know where I am going in this thought) we should read/listen/see but give a stop to that "picture", "idea" and turn it around, once, twice.. for critics. Please, thats not a negative thing.. this critic. that critic. those critics. What I mean by critics, is a simple excercise.. a way we think about any idea as not being "clear", "accepted", "taken as our own and therefore for granted".. e.g. we should not simply accept any idea for granted as we are taking for granted the way we walk.. that we walk and we do not think about that at all.. because we do it for a looong time.. and then when we start to think about walking.. one leg.. other leg.. doing steps.. we see it is not so easy (many muscles, bones involved... and .. no thinking.. thats what we "feel" like we can walk without thinking) so next time you have "anything" in a form of an idea (thought) please do not simply soak it.. but do.. criticize that idea and thought only for the sake of God when somebody will ask you why do you stand behind this idea you will have the arguments ready.. because taking in the ideas you do not think about is like eating a food you do not know anything about.

Weekend's pleasure..

is when you travel approximately 30 minutes with a train to place near Prague, where there is no electricity and no water pipes going out of a wall. no no no.. if you want a water, you need to go and get it from a well. if you want electricity.. you will not find it there. a peaceful place where the river Berounka flows like a lazy snail, where the train passes by the house every 30 minutes and you do not find it disturbing, where the air is good and where your soul finds a point of a wish not going back to the hectic life of yours for at least another day. we have made a nice game in the forest for the kids, put some questions on some trees and giving them two ways to continues, the wrong one would stop after some time and they would need to return back to the question and obviously try the second way (different color). the path went through a forest, through a field and also passing by a beautiful high grass. After such a game, everybody must be hungry, so we went back to the little house where you need to get some wood to make the fire and cook something. And therefore.. because there is no button which would turn your oven on, which would heat your food in a microwave in seconds, because of that I found it peaceful and worth living in for another day or days. Of course, there is always the luxury to take the train back to Prague and sleep in your cozy bed, take a hot shower and check the news on bbc portal, yet I found it very relaxing to be on a place where the time just.. does not flow.

Another bitter..

Day full of sun moreover I got some sickness so you can imagine how it is walking under the hot sun with temperature and a caugh. Well what can man do..until it starts to rain. Nice. A thought crosses my mind. Why why why I am taking shirt only and do have long sleeves made up to short ones? What do I want? If there is hot&dry I want rain,if there is rain I want hot. Nevermind. People always want what it is not available at the time being. And. With everything. People, things, feelings. But.. (but?) why not to start digging out what we (i myself,you yourself..) can do within our own body and mind borders. That should be the purpose of the life. To get properly know yourself and do your best in what your are best at. Correct? Agree? Instead of whining why I am not like him or her, why do I lack this and that I should start counting what do I have and in what I am better than the others. Life is trully short and there is no space for many changes. Therefore is much better to get yourself known and practice, gather experience and last but not least enjoy yourself,because if you are good at that thing, if you do master your skills you will enjoy the task because doing something in what we are really good at is a pleasure.
