If you can agree with it, great!<br />
<br />
I have started writing and I give you the translation (and the original) of a thing I wrote today.<br />
<br />
The truth sets you free?<br />
It can, but it is not it's main, true nature. If you believe in the (possibility of) truth, undestand that it is a she, a female. Static and transformative.<br />
I have found many truths about a moment that streached for a long time in my past. Some of them set me free, some of them bound me in chains.<br />
But all of them transformed me and my view, outlook on the moments passed and moments to come.<br />
<br />
If the truth is a female, how can we trust it?<br />

Original verzija - onako kako mi je doshlo u glavu:<br />
<br />
Istina oslobadja?<br />
Ume, ali joj to nije glavna priroda.<br />
Ako verujesh u istinu, shvati da je ona zensko. Statichna i transformishuca.<br />
Saznao sam pregrsht istina o jednom dugom moment. Neke su me oslobodile, neke su me bacile u lance. No sve su me transformisale, kako mene tako i pogled na momenat proshli i buduci.<br />
<br />
Ako je istina zensko, mozemo li joj verovati?</div>Dootzkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06038699025691445998noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159339586734222204.post-33617275807762000712011-08-02T10:46:00.000+02:002011-08-02T10:46:07.465+02:00We've got all the life in the world...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">That doesn't sound right, does it? But saying time isn't true either.<br />
<br />
Fact is, the language we know and use is the best means of communication that humanity has invented so far and yet it is far from perfect. Mainly because some things you cannot explain and because some things are connected to the words that they don't belong with.<br />
<br />
One of this linguistic traps is the life-time connection. When you are born, your biggest achievements are measured in time [while some may remember when you started walking or talking or when you made that great picture of daddy on mommy, most will remember almost only your age]. Once you are a bit older, your progress is measured with the time frames of your education system which is based on time and not on your actual progress or academic ability. Once you are out of the education machine, its nine to five, five days a week. Time as measure more dominant then any other.<br />
<br />
It's a good thing you got some time for your self in between, but what you learned in the machine haunts you there. Two things, mainly.<br />
-Time is connected to existence and while we exist there is time as well. Conclusion is that time is infinite.<br />
-Time we have is just plain that: time. And time it self is infinite.<br />
<br />
"What are you up to?"<br />
"Nothing much... Just watching time go by... You?"<br />
"I should do some stuff, but I've got enough time."<br />
"Yea, while we are young we got all the time in the world."<br />
"Sure thing. Why not waste some [time] and chill."<br />
<br />
Doesn't sound so bad.<br />
If you never heard any dialog similar to this one raise your hand. Let's see... Ha... There is always one...<br />
<br />
Anyway, to get back at track. What we have is life and not time. The main difference is the [in]finity. If you ask me, quite a bit difference. And yet with the way we talk and the way we think, we seems to refuse to think in terms of life. Rather, we use time mercilessly for it can never run out. Sadly we can.<br />
I won't go into the idea of some psychologists that its the fear of death compelling us to talk and think in this manner.<br />
I think its the linguistic self indoctrination that numbs our sense. And what do I advise for you to do.<br />
<br />
Simply... Correct this little error and replace time with life in speech and thought where ever you seem fitting.<br />
<br />
"What are you up to?"<br />
"Nothing much... Just watching life go by... You?"<br />
"I should do some stuff, but I've got enough life."<br />
"Yea, while we are young we got all the life in the world."<br />
"Sure thing. Why not waste some [life] and chill."<br />
<br />
Doesn't sound so harmless, does it. This method has been already used on the teens somewhere in the world and the reduction in apathy was notable. Try it!<br />
<br />
~Addendum: I am not saying one should never chill out, that is a part of life. When you say that you will say that you are relaxing. Yet, wasting time just for the sake of wasting life is another thing. And you will see the difference once you start using this little correction.<br />
If you have issues with implementing this into your mind, no rush. It's one of the fundamentally hard wired patters in your mind. In this case, try with something easier and that is to look at the Moon and understand and feel that it's not moonlight you see but reflected sunlight. The idea of moonlight is also one of the hard wired patterns in your mind, but one that can be broken with greater ease. I wrote about this a few posts before.<br />
<br />
Enjoy your life!<br />
Take care</div>Dootzkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06038699025691445998noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159339586734222204.post-59786012170315575782011-07-30T11:13:00.000+02:002011-07-30T11:13:38.819+02:00Program me!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">As one of my passions, psychology, enticed me to follow it down the rabit whole, at the other side of the earth, I fell in the the land of neuro linguistic programming and found my self very welcomed there. I also "stayed" there for quite a while, not leaving it where ever I went in this world, always testing and extrapolating algorythms of behaviour and the inner workings of mine and the mind of others.<br />
<br />
Partially, this is why I abandoned this fine blog I have here. What snapped me back into "reality" is that soon I'll be going to the seaside and that even sooner I should start hitting the books for the univeristy. But all that, at least on here can wait for from this post onwards I will share some great things I have found and some even greater things I have managed to merge with my old storage of information and this new input.<br />
<br />
As for now I will only provide you with a small pointer which is - If you want to get your self into this [and I know you will after some posts of mine], start with reading Richard Bandlers "Using your brain for a change". It's just enought to be basic and stimulating. As we continue going down this rabbit hole I will provide more references to texts or experts. I expect you to do the same via comments.<br />
<br />
Be well!</div>Dootzkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06038699025691445998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159339586734222204.post-8906775286322018832011-07-07T11:23:00.000+02:002011-07-07T11:23:46.588+02:00Piece of paper.In my last post I mentioned that I was in Budapest for a debating competition. And that the competition was held at CEU. I must say that this is the first time I have been to a - as people call it - graduation university. An university that you join only for one last year or for masters. Oh and for PhD. Apart from the last reason I kinda do find it silly that you would firstly, get the paper of that institution that you finished it when you spend most of your time somewhere else and got used to that way of doing things and secondly, that now there are many "universities" that are only there to provide the finishing year or masters.<br />
<br />
Because, think about it, you did something for three to four years at your first university and you will bring most of the habits into your future with you. Once you switch to the graduation/master university it's seems more like a checkup on the topic can your methods you learned and that are now a part of you produce results in some other system which is in power in places that you might want to get a job later. They are not proper educational institutions. They are just providers of a piece of paper that tells others you are just another product of a random educational system that can hit into a mold that is expected to produce needed results.<br />
<br />
And I say, to hell with it! Gamble a little and have people from many places doing the same thing. Two plus two will equal four everywhere, but the way you get the result may not. Someone will see two of the same number and will multiply, someone will see two of the same numbers multiplied and will square one number. Some will see two and two sheep and some will see two and two rockets. The results will be the same but changing, or more so, enriching the views might sprout new solutions!<br />
<br />
With this little rant over I'd like to say that in the future I will have to use you all as lab rats, if you wish to respond via comments, that is. I started learning about submodalities and NLP so while I will be testing it with the people I know IRL, a more global response would be nice.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

<br />
~The city feel.<br />
I like the vibe of the city very much so. I thought it has more people living in it then my beloved Belgrade, but they are of the same size. While Budapest has been affected by the socialistic architecture, it's a lot less noticeable then in Belgrade and with so much great both new and old buildings I felt like Belgrade and Paris clashed and gave birth to Budapest. I have added it to the list of cities I need to know as back of my own palm, so I do plan to go there again... And again.<br />
<br />
~The motivation.<br />
For sure won't be the Hungarian girls. After three days and a visit to 400, Szimpla Kert, Corvinus and a few places at Franz List square [I think I only spelled 400 correctly] I have concluded that "you're face isn't so asymmetrical" is the pinnacle a compliment you can give to a Hungarian chick.<br />
Food could be one of the motivators to return there. I had a religious experience with a sour cherry strudel cover in chili chocolate.<br />
A sure motivator will be the spa centers! Ten euros for a whole day access to a place with great warm pools, saunas, cold barrels, Turkish baths might seem cheap, but you will have to leave after a few hours anyway cause the water saps your energy so fast. I have heard that when the weather is better one of the spa centers makes a party at nighttime with rather good cocktails.<br />
<br />
~The political issues.<br />
Since I was in Budapest during the Jobbik rally I would like to say a few things on the political climate there. When the Jobbik came to the public view as the VERY radical nationalistic and racist group the other right wing parties such as Fidesz seems mild and a good choice. Now they are in power and Moscow square and any other signs of social remnants are being removed and are replaced with proper Hungarian names. In a few days, Hungary will step down from the position of "leading" the EU in favor of Poland and people that live there tell me that then they do expect an outburst of nationalism.<br />
<br />
For those that weren't there, I recommend you go there and enjoy this great city with your own senses.<br />
<br />
As a note, GO Djokovic GO!<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Here is a quote<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Here is a quote from a manga. I firmly believe that you can learn over any medium, be it manga, movie, book, song. Hope you feel the same.<br />
<br />
All creatures want to believe in something bigger than themselves. They cannot live without blind obedience. And to scape the pressure of that trust, those in whom faith is placed in turn look for someone higher than themselves. And then those people in turn look for someone even stronger. That is how all Kings are born. That is how all Gods are born.<br />
<br />
On top of that, notice the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wDkal9_5aU">"It's like we are all trapped by it" </a>line in the clip. This is what Gods are for me. ;)</div>Dootzkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06038699025691445998noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159339586734222204.post-56496528968828382282011-06-29T12:10:00.000+02:002011-06-29T12:10:07.342+02:00The return of the prodigal son<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hermitagemuseum.org/imgs_En/03/artwork/e3_3_1_4d_dutch_art.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.hermitagemuseum.org/imgs_En/03/artwork/e3_3_1_4d_dutch_art.jpg" width="244" /></a></div><br />
At least I am not half barefoot.<br />
<br />
There has been a lot of events in the last two weeks of my life. Some joyful, some gloomy, some that happened to others, some that happened to me.<br />
<br />
But after all that I have returned. And I won't stay all too long here for I plan to move this fine establishment to a new and much better organized site with it's own .com URL.<br />
Best news so far where that all the time I neglected this site and it's readers payed of. I passed two exams I wanted so I can pause from the university work for a while. The bad news is that I will have a lot of free time in July and some in August. Well, actually, the bad news is the reason, and the free time is just an effect that can still change.<br />
<br />
For the blog, nonsense songs will return, so will the texts and the music. Pictures will be removed, as a theme, but will as such follow some posts. The same will be done with quotes. And since today was a day for quotes, it means I don't have to write anything.<br />
<br />
Also, a final note. From 1st of July till the 3rd or 4th I will be in the capitol city of Hungary on a debating competition at CEU or how's it called. So... As you might have figured, I won't be around during that time as well.<br />
<br />
As for the upcoming topics they will be about education system. For this I blame the fact that I had to study like crazy to pass constitutional law, that I have started reading an interesting book that delves deep into the human mind and that I have been watching [again] a lot of Sir Ken Robinsons talks.<br />
<br />
Hope you dear lemon drops are still around and reading ;)<br />
<br />

<br />
First off, my real life will get a lot more complicated as of soon since I might get an almost dreamjob for a youngling like my self without the university degree. Ofcourse, I will continue going to my university. On to of that I might be taking a course on NLP, which is something I am very interested in and since it's a proper course it will eat a lot of time, but my posts might take a turn towards that [and nightlife and music festivals due to the possible new job].<br />
On top of that I will be going back to the gym...<br />
<br />
Damn... With all that writen down I my self don't know where I'll find the time to do it all and have any spare time for anything else.<br />
<br />
Now, as for my net activities, I was having some difficultios with some malicious twats, but that is being taken care of. And, the best thing about it all is that in a few days [if my mate finds the time to finish some stuff] I will be launching a new site with .com. This pleases me greatly because I will include 4 themes in that which will be Nonsense - Insults - Pick ups - Random<br />
<br />
For nonsense, well, my readers do know what I mean by that. I plan to keep on collecting those lovely limerics and even enable a way for people to send me their own.<br />
For insults... I find the lack of sophistication in a day to day insults and comebacks disturbing. Yo mama and NO U will be ignored while some other ones will be pushed into the front row [Instead, You sooo old one could say "If I was to tell you to act your own age, you'd die"]<br />
For pickups - I will include some funny and some neat and nifty tricks and lines that are either there for amusement or can be really used for approach. From "Do you know what's the average weight of a polar bear. No...? Neither do I but it breaks the ice" [And I had some positive replies to that!] to some well thought off backhanded compliments [or negs if you know what I mean *wink*].<br />
Random will be... Random... Mostly texts or stimulative videos. I will pull a few texts from here to get it started and will write one or two a week.<br />
<br />
Now, I am off... Life calls!<br />
<br />

<br />
Some net providers might block it, but I like the look of it.<br />
<br />
On a side note, I have started making two sites [one will be done real soon] so expect me to move to .com soon enough.<br />
<br />
Be well</div>Dootzkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06038699025691445998noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159339586734222204.post-77690800738133689122011-06-18T13:11:00.000+02:002011-06-18T13:11:45.488+02:00Honesty of true authoritarianism.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">As a law student I do come across a lot of theories connected to the institutions of the state, politics, law and the state it self. There you got whole chapters dedicated to democracy, socialism, constitutional monarchy, and many other systems I will not bother you with. At the end of each section in the book, you get a few words about <br />
authoritarianism which is always presented as a bad thing that never worked and never gave anything good to the civilization.<br />
From there, everything ends on the idea that monarchy is outdated, socialism failed and that democracy is the best way for the future while authoritarianism is the worse.<br />
<br />
I somehow disagree with this on the basis of two issues. The first is that democracy doesn't always come in a package with freedoms we crave while the authoritarianism doesn't exclude them. If you take a look on what is happening in Spain and Turkey and the freedom of info flowing over the net or my own country, Serbia, and the neighboring Hungary and the freedom of media, you will see that democratic states can be... No use the "1984" way of speaking, not democratic.<br />
<br />
And then, we have the second issue and that is the honesty of regime. I firmly believe that in authoritarian regimes you get one of two cases of public opinion. Either 80 percent and over are happy and satisfied [this is what one could call a good authoritarian regime] or it's the other way around where over then 80 percent are not satisfied [one could say that they are VERY pissed off].<br />
The first case is blissful and joyful and we should leave it as that. The second example is dreadful, but with a hidden benefit. With so many unsatisfied people, the regime will fall because of its acts. The critical mass will form and the true discontent will show for it is not possible for a government to have under control all of it's people.<br />
<br />
Alas, today we live in a "democratic" world where you can vote and decide who will rule over you. Tony Benn, a British politician and a member of British Labour Party once said that "If the elections could change anything, those in power would abolish them a long time ago." You get an illusion that you matter, that your vote matters and yet nothing changes. Either you don't have anyone to vote for or you do vote just to be disappointed. It doesn't matter of its a system with two major parties [like USA or GB] or where you have more parties... You end up feeling cheated out of your vote and yet you do nothing for you get used to being content with the little you have and the less that you are given.<br />
<br />
When you want to boil a frog you need to put her in a water of mild temperature for if you put her in the boiling water it will jump out. Then you start heating up and before the frog understands what's happening, it's done and ready for serving.<br />
<br />
In authoritarianism you live either great for there is no political turmoil and everything is done for the state and it's people OR you live bad enough that you want to do something about it.<br />
<br />
In democracy you live bad enough so that resources that should have been yours are taken away and that you feel like nothing and feel replaceable, but you don't live bad enough so you would do something.<br />
<br />
This is why I say that authoritarian regimes are more honest. Because they either give you a sponge bath or try to boil you.<br />
This is why the modern democratic world is more interested in preventing the creation of a critical mass of discontent then in how it's people live.<br />
<br />
Share your opinions and experiences from the place you live, if you can.<br />
<br />
Be well and think with your own head!<br />

Still studying... But university will grace me with almost two months of freedom afterwards so its ok.<br />
<br />
Anyway... Yesterday Desktoper mentioned in his comment that he couldn't see my followers widget. If you could, look to the right, between the ads and blogroll and tell me if you see it.<br />
<br />
Thanks ;)</div>Dootzkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06038699025691445998noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159339586734222204.post-36977225556358722602011-06-10T10:14:00.000+02:002011-06-10T10:14:46.824+02:00Is it nonsense I hear?!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">There was an Old Man of Jamaica,<br />
Who suddenly married a Quaker;<br />
But she cried out, "Alack!<br />
I have married a black!"<br />
Which distressed that Old Man of Jamaica<br />
<br />
Now! My last exam will be done in a week so until then, still no big texts. Sorry, university putting me down, man :D<br />
But Imma give you a retrospect on the comments from yesterday and will ask you all for a creative favor!<br />
<br />
<br />
A lot of people have mentioned Zeitgeist in regards to the yesterdays video I posted and while they deal with the same subject the autism of the ZG movement is something that sets it apart. As someone who was part of translating of Zeitgeist 3 and many articles of Venus Project, while these two organizations worked together, I have came to a conclusion that a lot people in the Zeitgeist movement believe that you can just turn away from this system and that it won't hunt you down. You can see this best in the premier interview for ZG3 in New York when the team gathered and responded to a question regarding the how where and when will the fabled city that Venus Project propose be build. Utter autism led them to believe and answer that if they build it and segregate them self, everyone will accept that.<br />
On the other hand, the video from yesterday was only dealing with the idea that someone is taking your money and not the pathology of it or if the money is even needed. They are both faulty, but if you are smart enough you can see that quality parts in both and extract them for your own belief system.<br />
<br />
I will talk about my extractions once the university relinquishes its grasp on my time.<br />
<br />
Until then, the creative favor. I am planning to make something nice out of these nonsense poems I find I books and online, so if you have one in your mind, please share it. I will be sure to put it with the rest, if it's in order and you will get nothing for it :P<br />
<br />
Be well</div>Dootzkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06038699025691445998noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159339586734222204.post-52889368428679028892011-06-09T10:45:00.000+02:002011-06-09T10:45:37.626+02:00Not so tinfoil hats animation<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I am fully aware that many of you have been listening about the IMF, World Bank, 9/11 and all that so you might be fed up with it.<br />
<br />
But, if you just look around you must also be aware that there is something terribly wrong with the present state of things. The neo-colonial world we live in has a lot of issues, but at this moment, I bring you an animation that is dedicated mostly to the USA.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/tGk5ioEXlIM?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br />
In my opinion, the change won't start there in the US. Why? That is another question for another post. First we will need a ray of light from somewhere which I like to call "a good example".<br />
<br />
Enjoy the animation and share your feelings after you have watched it.</div>Dootzkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06038699025691445998noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159339586734222204.post-61432142878128798802011-06-08T13:06:00.000+02:002011-06-08T13:06:12.783+02:00Picture, quote, university update<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">With the day of rest passed, it seems that I will need to return to the books since university exams are not over yet. Damn this university degree I strive to claim as my own. But, it can't be helped. For the stuff I want to do in life, status that comes with it is a most. As for knowledge, I'll just need to gather as much along the way.<br />
<br />
This means, for you, dear reader that there is about a week and a bit more of torment here while you wait for the texts that are sprouting from my mind.<br />
<br />
But, let's see what I can do for now. For now, I should post a picture or two since I didn't do so yesterday and these will be of my "hood". Both in the spring and in the winter.<br />
<br />

Guess which has been taken at what point in the yearly cycles ;)<br />
It's a quiet suburb on a hill that overlooks the city. Lots of green all around the orange bricks.<br />
<br />
As for today, a quote is in order. Since as of late I have been watching Game of Thrones I have decided to, since I can't find time to read, at least to listen to the audiobook. The quote that goes around my head when I hear or watch about the Starks is one from Princess Mononoke:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>When you cut off a wolfs head, it can still bite for one final time</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">A wise warning to never let your guard down, for the winter is coming.</div></div>Dootzkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06038699025691445998noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159339586734222204.post-73000848226744255102011-06-06T21:23:00.000+02:002011-06-06T21:23:30.914+02:00University going smooth<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Yes, yes! I have passed todays exam. Pulled three really nasty and very long questions, but in the end my endless trivia knowledge and the ability to refrase what I have just heard and pack in and present it as my new original thought allowed me to pass the exam.<br />
<br />
So, it was a good day. Afterwards I chilled out with my best mate, bought a funny book and read it all in one go.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, university gets a hold on my life once more, until the last exam for a while that will happen in 16th of June.<br />
<br />
Anyway, since I can't upload a picture now, the usual theme for Monday will come a bit later.<br />
<br />
Hope you all fine people out there are fine and dandy.<br />

Exam is tomorrow so I can't bother with this all that much.<br />
<br />
Anyway, some Sunday music comes in a form of BAGPIPES! Many dislike their sound, but I really enjoy their sound. If I didn't so fond of my own country I'd go to Scotland for sure!<br />
<br />
Enjoy and see ya tomorrow!<br />

<br />
Yes!<br />
<br />
Special!<br />
<br />
First, cause it's a day for silly poems! Here is one<br />
<br />
There was an Old Man of the West,<br />
Who never could get any rest;<br />
So they set him to spin<br />
On his nose and his chin,<br />
Which cured that Old Man of the West.<br />
<br />
Now, if that wasn't enough, you'll be happy to know that today is my birthday! Twenty two years of age. Damn, I feel old!<br />
<br />
I will be short now, since with the university and today's social obligations, I am REALLY short on time, so here is the cake that I will eat with my family. It's one of my favorite cakes, very simple and VERY chocolate!<br />
<br />

Again, more interesting philosophical books or school/university work didn't allow me to have enough time. Now that I have seen the start of the story, I am sure to read the books as soon as I get the chance. Hopefully right after university exams finish in two weeks and before the classes at university start which is a bit further.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here is the intro to the Game of Thrones by HBO. Open it in Youtube, HD, full screen. It's the only way to watch this short art piece.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://3.gvt0.com/vi/s7L2PVdrb_8/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s7L2PVdrb_8&fs=1&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s7L2PVdrb_8&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><br />
As for those that are wondering where I watched the show, try TVDuck.<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">In regards to one of the previous posts that can be found <a href="http://www.bite-size-thoughts.co.cc/2011/05/squeeze-me-tight.html">here</a>, I wanted to share this not so much of a quote, but a statement. A truism attributed to Benjamin Franklin. Because I believe that everyone feel the idea of this I won't talk about it in length. I will just point you into the direction of another <a href="http://www.bite-size-thoughts.co.cc/2011/03/freedom-of-choice.html">older post of mine</a> that deals with the most important freedom we have.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I will say this. If you are not free to make your own choices, then your security isn't in your hands but in the hands of those that make the choices for you.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As for me, university is eating up my time and will continue to do so for the next two weeks. I have no classes, but with exams knocking on the door, it's time to study hard. Damn you, university and degree!</div><div style="text-align: left;">At least it's all for a good purpose. I do learn a lot about the system we live in.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
There is a theory that no one actually ever listens to anyone. We just hear what we think the other party said. I ask you, if we only here one fraction of the sounds that surround us, would it not be possible that out of that fraction, our brains ignore even more. Isn't it possible that the source of our imagination at one point in our lives is fed up with the things he hears and starts whispering his versions of the story to us. "Fuck it all! I'll tell this soul what I want"<br />
<br />
Charles de Gaulle had a funny idea once. At a formal dinner with all the dignitaries from all the countries as well as from his own he was at the door, with his wife, greeting them.<br />
~Good evening. Today I killed my mother in law - said Charles.<br />
~Good evening, mister de Gaulle. Good to hear that.<br />
<br />
No one noticed but one security guard. Guess he was programmed to hear "kill" so if Charles didn't once confirm that he did tell this to people, we couldn't have been sure.<br />
<br />
No one listened to him...<br />
<br />
Do you listen or do you hear?</div>Dootzkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06038699025691445998noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3159339586734222204.post-30282336057355485332011-05-30T12:10:00.001+02:002011-05-30T13:05:52.678+02:00Cries of a strawberry<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>It's Monday, Monday!
