Tight Chest When Cold

At the rising of Ra

Listen to the silence.

The time it takes for my dog, commute to the optimal location for its business use, to feel the cold, the air to taste and smell, to feel the ground under my feet to see my breath in the still cold night air condenses and watching, what will the darkness of the night by the ever-brightening light of the rising sun displaced.

yourself to be aware of all this, and yet be.
the moment to extend indefinitely, until no longer exists, neither space nor time, nor the body.
lose yourself in the now.

return, I will again realized. My dog
stands in front of me looks at me expectantly.
How long can I estimate only, but usually they can employ to hours with only one tuft of grass, without it it is boring.
is now quite light, it has become the red stripes in the east only a distant memory.
Our eyes meet and she looks forward to when I would have been days away.

Maybe I was driving past this

A lone car.

We go home.

Brent Everett = Brent Corrigan

If I am not reachable by phone ...



... can have several reasons:
  1. I do not quit because I 'm just somewhere else. Or for calls to mobile, is not with me in a room, I'm just not tuned or am in an important discussion vis-a-vis, and had to "Silent" geschaltet.Oder anywhere else where I can not telephone.
  2. I just do not have time, be it that I'm working, eating or sleeping (which is on call after 23:30 very likely, I am indeed really a night person, but also sometimes depends on the habits of the majority of my fellow human beings .).
  3. Or I'm doing "in family" or have visited.
  4. I have no desire to talk. Sounds silly, but I have times when I can not get more than the bare minimum on the lips. So, I can not and will not change.
  5. I just want to not be disturbed, except in emergencies. (Specifically for after midnight, even if I still should be awake.)

emergencies I define as follows:
Any important date shifts, someone had an accident, goes into hospital is seriously ill, died or could die in the near future or otherwise needs help quickly. Or it's burning in my home!
The death of a hamster, budgerigar or other small animals are not make an emergency claim. Questions at the daily horoscope, readings, coffee grounds or the like fall for me not under the category of "emergency".
Very well are relationship problems, or acute attacks of heart pain as an emergency, unless , they connect at least once each week on.

If you have not reached me:
  1. for calls on the phone, you can leave a message on the mailbox. For this is there, but not to when you hear the announcement reflexively hang up. AB on the landline, I usually forget to turn on. Most people have my cell phone number anyway.
  2. it is very likely that 5 minutes later I still can not reach me. It does too little then, there in the 5-minute intervals to keep trying. As I said, if that's important ---> Mailbox
Moreover
people end up, in one form or another several times become conspicuous, be it that they always call on some "important" and a pretext then do not come to the point and only make small talk, although I clearly said that I really just have no time or place a call but always dead of night, "just to chat times" , very quickly on my ignore list, that is, the contact is closed until further notice from me (long live the modern art). Take

's please do not personally (or maybe), but I am neither the information nor the telephone counseling. But a normal person with many interests, a job that requires me a lot of self discipline, social contacts and family, which I will somehow live up to. And in between I also need from time to time some time to myself, to read, watch movies, listen to meditation music, magick, or just look stupid from washing.



ie not That I for the needs of my friends did not listen. If what really lies, then I leave everything behind and beat! All this means
not that I do not even like on the phone once, until the receiver, respectively, the headset is glowing. But all at the right time with the right people. * G * develop

Tight Jaw Swollen Gum

high school and masters

last few months, a psychologist friend and I have a series of articles dealing with the almost unmanageable and very lucrative market for life consulting services. Once we have published (assuming we survive the extensive research work), I will make a brief summary and post here in my blog.

quasi a by-product thereof, is for me the analysis of, in many spiritual areas often encountered, teacher-student constellation dar.

First of all, to begin with:
In general, a spiritual teacher, nothing negative, although only just in the Western world has the connotation of the word guru often has a very derogatory connotation. This may be because traditionally, in Hinduism the teacher-student relationship involves a strange hierarchy for Central Europeans. The student will then speak servant of his guru and has to "work up" gradually, but receives in return just to get to the Möglichkkeit of his master. Such thinking is alien to us, although many trainees in the workplace with their masters and journeymen like today was made.
On the other hand, if you consider how little respect students and their teachers - and nothing else are in essence just gurus and lamas - in our schools have placed even more, even if only reward that those who make themselves the trouble, despite ostentatiously expressed indifference to convey course material surprised me this option just not too much.

It can be very useful, without question, learn from one more experienced in his field assistance and guidance, or simply just someone to have on the one can turn to with emerging issues. May be a constellation between Ratsuchedem and counselor of great benefit.
In Vajrayana, profane to us as Tibetan Buddhism called, Diamond vehicle (not to be confused with that of Ole Nydahl in the Western world, founded and propagated Diamond Way Buddhism. This is a completely different site!) Is the lama central linchpin .
Many other eastern directions, as in the Vedanta widespread system of Satsang, prefer the model of teacher (master, Guru) and students.

But no matter what system, the meaning of these models is to the student through the reflection the instruction and the provision of any necessary lessons from the teacher for his own deep knowledge and personal enlightenment, that is the awakening of the maximum potential of their own cause. In addition, the agency often comes certain techniques and skills through the Master, the pupil may be useful in this way. No more and no less.

Never such a relationship should, however, mean that the student almost to the power of the Master "dock" as, for example, a baby to his mother because of me or a client to a server.

to answer the question whether this model of mutual advantage is, there is one part of the quality and character of the master, particularly in regard to his motivation, on the other hand, the character and the needs of the student. A good teacher is there for his students, it provides guidance, but also makes him so much freedom, so he comes to his own knowledge and not in danger, to take over his teacher's simple. If this were the case, or he notices that it just comes to a dock on the part of the student described above, a good master will immediately dissociate and dissolve the relationship to close again.

After all, there are people who are only too happy to rid themselves of their ownership issued and subject and tend to take statements without reflection, just because they were bound by a master. These are then also which surprised quite react if the teacher does not specify them every step. Often they feel alone, rejected or neglected and often turn disappointed with their Lama, spiritual mentor or guru, and will seek to provide a teacher, this unconditional dependence is acceptable. This has the devastating effect that "create" such students immature perfect, so teachers who actually because of the degree of their own knowledge path are not in a position to teach students and thus also the honorary title of master, guru or lama who wrongly. There

And this kind of teachers, gurus, masters it. Them it is less a matter of bringing the students on their own path, but rather to instill in their path as the only right and move the student to apply it. And that can also within a particular system lead to considerable problems for the student.
The student must of never used to satisfy the ego of the master. A master of this kind is disclosed only that it lacks the necessary maturity and thus to the ability to teach shortage. In addition, these teachers are rarely prepared to Students from the ratio of dependence to fire again. However, this is essential when you consider that should be the purpose of helping the students also to the "championship".

But still lurks another danger. Even true champion they can not move people and by too great a proximity to a school, especially if this tends to be the teacher "to worship" the possibility exists that it loses traction and in the truest sense of the word gets a high fever.

little skeptical, I am also facing the fact, if a teacher or guru Lama gathered many students around.
course, there are excellent Masters of their craft, which are, if the opportunity opens, they may even live to see and hear in color and in particular worth to take a longer way to purchase and then it is hardly surprising that there will very many people come to share this experience.

However, with a much more intimate student-teacher ratio is not to be confused. How can this be accomplished when the champion after such an event just a brief moment, can spare time for his students, if any?

Hence, the mere quantity of the student body not as a measure of the quality a teacher apply. A spiritual guide is not a pop star, to be evaluated by whether he can fill halls, and students can not be seriously happy with where he shortly afterwards takes time to give "autographs" or to shake hands.

Frankly, I do not understand people who speak in such a serious case of "their" teacher, Lama, Guru or anything else.
It can not be satisfactory if you make up to his teacher only with the help of an opera glass on one of their own seat, far eintfernten stage and may otherwise rely only on the author of "their" teachers can literature.
own I own a considerable amount of books from their territory quite outstanding personalities and use it like as a catalyst and inspiration, but I would never think to call the authors as my teachers, just because of the personal aspect of this completely missing.

But to come back to the aspect which occur in relation to a master issued student back, which then leads to the fact that the ratio of teachers to normal again, or even necessarily have to finish.
Considering how traumatic this is for those seeking help in part, that has the disposition to be just to cling to someone so much, that he is ready for it, give yourself completely, and partly explains the many a bad injury for each teacher, master, guru or even for the whole group or the direction to which he belongs.
For an immature student, immature in the sense that he is growing the child's need for a guiding hand has not developed, then a "refusal" to be so offensive that this in downright hatred for the once-revered "father "manifests.

I can think personally a number of known examples, where students in some well-known spiritual teacher in a frenzy almost incestuous bondage to their Champion came from which they "escaped" only with great effort again and afterwards sought to blame only the opposite.
be good to point to said immature teachers, or even charlatans, come fall, that goal was the unconditional Abhängigmachung the student level, but equally likely is it that they were just victims of their false expectations of the teacher and not understood that this was reflected only what they radiated in his opinion, in turn, in the hope they would draw important lessons for themselves.

goes in no matter how harmonious teacher ratio is just without a certain critical distance from the teacher, Lama, Guru, his statements and teachings.

Despite maturity and level on the path to enlightenment or truth on my account, they remain human beings and they are extremely different, not only individually, but also very fallible. One can not stress this enough!

Caution is advised in my opinion, if someone only on each subject the statements of his llamas, or master the best and gives him to the mouth speaks, to be aware of the part without that and in some cases it neglected its own experience and knowledge, or - much worse - it keeps for his own opinion.
"My teacher says ...." - My Lama has formulated the so and so ... " - "My master makes it very differently."
In these and similar formulations in every other sentence, I am always very tame by comparison with the shake and not to shout: "And what do YOU do "

to mention how tiring it can get when the other person constantly records how, what a great number must master it, from whom he learned what it can all so - levitate, talk to dead to die and after three days rise again to drink himself to Buddha Gautama tea, etc. pp.
may be so, but so your students do not automatically also a superhero.
So little may serve a student to satisfy the ego of the master, little as it is the responsibility of a master by his mere reputation of the student to strengthen the ego.

looks similar to it, if a teacher or guru talks too much and takes the rambling monologue about his experiences and skills, making it, in my opinion, is looking to be heard. Maybe I'm

yes on the wrong track, but in my personal experience, people in the same measure in which they on their (spiritual) path is well advanced, always quiet, reserved and relaxed. Amazingly, it seems they take themselves too seriously and far less important than their native, according to some people, actually.

If you then approach them with a question, she texts a non-answer, but either very short and precise, or, with a question whose answer usually includes already the answer to the question.

This may be due to people coming to the simplest possible answer, look frustrating, but it also serves to that one, even and especially in a close teacher-student relationship, not forgotten how to think independently and autonomously.

What Is The Best Pocket Sized Camcorder?

Suse, Suse love what rustles in the straw? From

I always wonder why people make all have a huge problem?

in general and paganism in particular. If I so often hear or read, then I think you should come again on the carpet.

General:
If something bothers me, I do not complain to the Exodus, but the attempt to change for me. I'll wait then not until someone comes along and does it for me, but do it themselves must live with the consequences and then I can not just pass it on to others.
If I do not want to or afraid of the effort is indeed the right, only then I can not complain.
as simple as that!

Especially ™ for Pagan:
one hand, we railed against the Abrahamic religions of the second and third generation (ie Christianity and Islam), missionary work because so many places, see their thing as truth ™, on the other hand, the love Gentiles do the same in green.
Not only do they take care of seems more concerned with the affairs of the Christians and Muslims, as to their own beliefs, no, they must also find fault in the understanding of the faith of their own race around.
What really has it, tell other people to do what is true now paganism and what is not?

Slowly I can hear it any more. If interested in this?

aside time reveal that most of it a still deeply rooted dualistic thinking, true-false, good-evil. And, no, these are much good will it be designed not to polarize, ie dualism a unit , like two sides of a coin, but just the same kind of rock-hard black and white painting, the one with the mono heist's competitors always criticized.

given some thoughts on how the masses draws attention to himself, inspire "young people" for their own faith, how could it with the boat gets, etc.
Yes, great, we make it to youth groups, Asatru summer camps go on a Viking boat, and drinking horn carved with Edda readings Celtoi and-movie nights with Vertingetorix and Cuchulain or something similar for other faiths.
Am I glad that my "association" is only from 18 as of the Wiccan way, also ... Then

always been around the church exit.
people when I'm in a club, I do not want the support, then I step out there. And if it cost money, no matter whether it is morally acceptable or not, I'll pay and you're done. I would complain more than the people who have me into membership, so usually the parents. What can the church that have just decided so that their children there in good hands would?
And of course, turns the local council then again at these former members, whether he is the more superior to even want to have to even ex officio extent at least the salvation of the (former) take care of sheep and of course go the Krichen flutes by revenue but so what?
With me was still just a letter from my competent minister, whom I knew, moreover, did not even know the same also landed in the circular folder and then the matter was to eat for me. This may seem very small communities or certain sections differently, but they are happens to be the consequences to be expected. At some point, also give up when they realize that there's nothing left to break. So what?

Speaking consequences
When am I left the church or never was in it and then ask to get a job at an institution under church sponsorship, hello, I have to run now no more, right? Subsidies from public funds or not, but ... Eh ..
But even if you are still "in" is, and why ever not want to do is escape, but okay. was, quite apart from that it is an exit to a purely legal-formal act which is the baptism as such but purely theological, has.
In the words of my son "The Taufsiegel you get anyway, never again away, "
The question is since only whether you then the power of his own interpretation (or his will!) nor any significance can occur. What is your interested Göttter, the All-One, the universe, which in some baptismal register is? rituals are there for the people, not the people for the rituals.

Nor can I send my children to a church kindergarten or school, but also among government body responsible for running organizations of this kind, and complain then that There they are confronted with Christianity.
If I do not want that, then yes there a lot of alternatives, Waldorf and Co. make it possible. But this would require perhaps you are looking for something or go worse a few kilometers.
the way, the best recipe, his children from indoctrination to protect no matter from which direction, is to let them become free-thinking people. (I avoid here consciously "educate" the word!) It includes, in my opinion do not come to their ever-so how are crap but the other, and how great it is itself

given that some nations almost persecuted by Christians and Muslims feel. Well, surprise, are more dependent, as the bites no changing that, and apart from the fact that most of these Pöser Monos are about as religious as my Dog has me in the 44 years that I now live longer, never one of them the booth eingerannt to proselytize me. Okay, there was once a small episode, when I was living in Dusseldorf, with two Jehovah's Witnesses, which held the opinion that I had as a woman determined not to anyway, whether I need their salvation or not, but a "nice "Call has also clarified then.
But otherwise?

when this ceases, however, we are virtually surrounded by Abrahamites who want nothing more than either our soul or our death. Since then my posting their
I really question if I may live in a completely different universe?

any event, could assume at times almost, dissatisfaction with one's own situation and related destructive behaviors would systeminharänt in paganism ™ when it is not enough counter-examples were first and second, find this behavior not in the rest of the population prevalence would.

But just lately in paganism is something going on that I still do not understand einzuordenen right. However, that's already noticed a few friends, so I'm probably still on the fence all the slats.

Increasingly, one hears of "mobilization" and "Bereitsein for the real thing."
please?
I'm the last person who does not occasionally think about make the growing fundamentalism would, where my focus lies there on in Christianity, because that is overlooked so much for all the forced Islamistenparanioa, but I have not felt that I had to sleep at night with a loaded gun next to his pillow, because my neighbors are already planning a raid times.

Okay, when the now of any 14 - or 15 - would come years, I thought, who heard too much pagan metal, but a few acquaintances from the Forn Sidr here NRW told me that as recently very few adult figures were broken in a mortise so what. Can that possibly still safely ignore check off and when not treated subconscious trauma and recommend to the people of psychotherapy (does not come from me) there is probably something else in the bush.

dive Chance recently namely, people who talk about religious and cultural preservation and identity, a reminder of common roots in Europe. For them it is even paganism, which they define within such narrow limits as indigenous. So German American, Celtic, Slavic and, at best, even in Roman-Greco exceptions, but this mostly by embezzling the syncretic tendencies is romanticized.
then again reminds me somewhat of the dominant culture-idea our government, just only without C.

roots are important, no question. If I know where I come from, we would have immensely contribute to self-discovery process and can have a positive effect. Only when we are talking about the beautiful picture, a tree consists not only of roots, it grows even up to the light, spreads its branches out to all sides.

From time to time, then drops the term Pan movement and although I as funny as the first one had to think of Bacchanalia and cheerful flute music (yes, stupid link!), Trying steals while an undefined, yet very bad feeling in the abdominal region.

Short research showed, as in the above Wiki link ersehbar that this is to, by no means limited to paganism, aspirations is to abolish the present form of government in favor of ethnic-defined "cultural nations".

So, in plain language, each ethnic group gets a piece of the pie, where they can develop freely and independently.
condition would be there but one view, is that you filter the people first ethnic. Blessed is he who has received his pure family tree or are currently the ancestors pass from Grandpa has in the drawer. Which one would have to also introduce the same again, thanks for Migration, Huns and Mongol invasion and other military activities and occupation and the consequent Products horny warriors and soldiers, and in times of peace, merchant or sailor is likely to drop the unambiguous filing on their ethnicity but a bit difficult, even without all the other ways you can come to "foreign" genes.
But so closely see the Beführworter this movement is certainly not because ethnicity does not even only on the descent, but also putting a common culture, language, dress and religion. I said yes, it reminds me a little of what has Merkel, Horst Seehofer and Co. carved out only recently.

And there's just the rub for me.
It sounds naive for casual observer but quite harmless, if not (ostensibly) tolerant when someone talks about it, they wanted to give any culturally defined ethnic group has its own habitat.

Hooray, freedom for the Basques, Kurds and all the other ethnic minorities!
Once, for this approach is imperative if ethnic purge resettlement they can finally express their identity freely, without fear of any reprisals by dominant nations, they would certainly also include some new acquaintances with them lineage technically related peoples, because we were honestly, for every little people have their own state, which will be difficult if only for reasons of necessity autonomous functionality.

But as far as thinking the one who is confronted with the idea of this concept for the first time probably did not, especially not when he is anyway in their own country because of its trve-authentically indigenous faith and devotion to his ancestors out of place or discriminated against feels suffocated by the overwhelming power of the Christian majority, whose faith is as alien cultural view, and so sometimes just both measly 1500 years stamp of our culture and history through this foreign faith and the tiny fact that their own, highly revered ancestors very well Christians are often ignored, and in view of the "Islamic threat" threatened in its habitat, feels very rare.
He looks too may find that it covers not only a purely religious motives, is rather an essentially political movement.

And since the supporters of the Pan-nationalism him then to the eggs.
why the lengthy introduction!

In contrast to the brown Spacken with its sledgehammer tactics, they will attack them in the population and widespread fear that is latent with much defizileren intellectual resources. It is the aesthetic and philosophical, all decorated with Quotes from Socrates, Aristotheles, Norse mythology, Goethe and Levi, to Nitzsche. It praises the one hand, the free spirit, but demonized the individualism as selfishness , the equating simple with hedonism and endangers the community.
And, believe it or not, even Zen draws on you, as a quote:
[...] "a very attractive doctrine, because it allows endless studying ancient texts, the retreat from the world and hypocritical moralism humanism and strictly refuses to instead be limited to completely clear, in everyday life viable techniques. "
What was that again with ethnic and cultural boundaries?

In general, one will kill just to this particular Webpresenz of text, in part, in a beautiful, sophisticated language, not really obvious questionable content, but theories and axioms, which certainly have their validity, in between, but always a phrase, expression or some sentences are sprinkled, not to mention some glaring contradictions that stand in the volatile read not once, but still go into consciousness.
If one eye but just wish it, then free float in any case my neck stand up, because me as subliminal messages and a decent pressure in a certain Direction of thinking that grab the attention that I relish not just because it is so subtle and sweet as poison is administered in small doses.

And just as this sentence is intended meaning, as it is taken out of context, so I Deucher where the remuneration to be an instrument intended meaning and to the philosophers.

This is not about heavy-handed racism, but in my view, in addition to the said establishment of ethnic cultural nations, the installation of an elite and by the vehement rejection of materialism and individualism made tolerant national community.
Strength through Joy ...

my opinion a very dangerous currents. Not least because it suggests those interested, also to be among this elite.
And who wants to not let anyone tell you like?
Honestly?
Until they awake from the dream beautiful view, and have that elite followers always an average, the mass needs of which they stand out and which can control it, should it then be too late for a possible reversal.


But everyone should own an opinion.


should be interesting in this respect, the concept of Pan- that one, I think, not without good reason or, as the example of me avoiding relied.

Ravioli Dough Elasticity

world saviors, martyr syndrome, and (online) activism

There is nothing new that I go my fellow man occasionally at the clock. I think this is all then another.
annoys me sometimes just the ignorance and indifference with which they march So by the world. But I can handle at least. I think everyone is responsible for his actions even know who I would be if I was not ever any of the overall context in mind, which in this our world is behaving like a bull in a china shop instruct, would?

I always think, since every man is a star, lives and each in his own (micro) cosmos and as long as he did not kept clear, everything is relative cuddly. A risk for the big picture I do not see, so long as there is an equalizer. And there are, fortunately.

On Arte - or was it Phoenix? - Some time ago was once a docu-fiction in which it was about what would happen if by some incident, people would get out of here on the same from the earth. How long would it have energy, could survive as long as our pets without us and how they make do develop, and would (guess whose finest hour in the deserted towns would come? little tip, the dogs would not stop until were on the real hard-liners among them die the miserable, at least if it went to the hunting .. .)
some point would be the main towns and the most gigantic skyscrapers only skeleton from which the vegetation shows priest alive and returned to the wild animals would be sold once.
was founded in the light of scientific knowledge, all pretty and the bottom line Is it any wonder that nature needs us, the people who do not.
comforting thought, at least for me.

Now I am also not so impertinent and taken from me, that I for posterity, so the world following after us, wanted to leave something that says "Nickel was here!"

In that spirit, I try, in my time - there is not another - to do what I have to bring appropriate and correct, and consider some changes, so it is in my power to not have any more "trouble" in to bring the macro cosmos than is absolutely necessary, without imposing too great a sacrifice to me.
in this respect self-imposed asceticism and self-sacrifice, I see that is to be as large as ruthless selfishness, because thoughtless Ausbeutertum or boundless hedonism.

If I say with the above-mentioned indifferent people still live within my range a different human species is immense on the mind.
Eben those who have made it their mission to the best of us to sacrifice all and the world. In my post "Long live the super-human" I'm already on the "Hasselhoff" received among the people. So those who see it as their duty to save everyone and everything that is not fast enough to safety.

Also I fight for things worth fighting for, so that's not, but as I said, I'm not called to save the whole world, I still pine around and rub my Their fellow men alleged error under the nose. I say what there is to say, in my opinion and what others it is their beer.

Not as the world savior. Not only do they pull in everything and every one leg, so what would be their first private matter, no, if you are not willing to "entrain" they are angry and complain to a harping that no one knew how to appreciate their commitment to taking it after all their free time or even sacrifice their health, make this planet a Garden of Eden back.
I always wonder who Zwing, unless they own them for that? I am not.

Moreover
There are Petitions and campaigns launched or supported, there's no tomorrow, in part, without worrying about it is great, as appropriate or feasible they are.
main thing is that is committed to something.
There was last year, for example a petition against the (alleged) prohibition of medicinal plants, which ran like wildfire especially the heathen Forums landscape.
The outrage was great. From
Kriminalsierung of herb collectors, growers and - users was mentioned, it was even drawn comparisons with the alleged witch-hunt as herbal women in the MA. And a culprit was quickly identified: Of course the EU and the "pharmaceutical lobby."
Mindful of the completely logical fact that probably could prohibit anyone mint tea and Co. and not collecting herbs suddenly appeared one police officers from the bush or you make the effort would, culinary herbs to seize by search warrant, I allowed myself a few minutes (!) Research And a serving of popcorn leaned back and waited for things that would come.

Well, then came the day of truth . The whole thing was a hoax or at best a misunderstanding, or rather hasty.
But more than 100,000 people fell for it and are determined to this day believe that they were right. Or wrap themselves in awkward silence over their own stupidity.
I am certainly not a case known where in the many, often for long threads on the subject is also known to only one, that the entire petition was just much ado about nothing and allowed to become infected simply by the panic.
What I personally, however really was typical think, is precisely the degree of participation in these and other similarly embarrassing petitions, while others, important and deserving, just because on the one hand affect us all in our fundamental rights and on the other hand, feasible, would be for far below the the consideration of votes needed to stay behind.
Incidentally, the heathen and Esoszene used the Gelegeneit to become a monkey again. A kind of publicity!

But that's also a good example of widespread jerk reaction away from reality.

are very popular here and signature campaigns to any grievances in distant countries and cultures. Not because not a lot would be in disarray, but butter by de fish, whether it be rape, stoning, mutilation, or the use of, turns to us and respected domestic and cuddly animals for the purpose of consumption, for everything and each there is at least one fundraising.
Not that I like the way people deal with other people, whether under the pretext of religion and traditions would not find cruel and I am generally against death and corporal punishment, however, but very much for self-determination of people, but I rebel myself though, could signatures or donations collect change, but that would all local little or nothing.
Keywords Animal welfare:
I could not believe it, but a particular video that was circulating demonstrably been at least seven years on the Internet and received by the external characteristics somewhere in the Siberian or Mongolian steppe, still appears with regularity, out of the woodwork again and animated Sun some renewed to a petition as if the Asian farmer who totprügelt as a dog would be interested even give a damn.

And so it is with almost all of these actions. They are said to exert pressure, but please, to whom?
on governments that are occupied by some fundamentalist idiots? Which is not even about human rights shave and they have not even signed for the part?
to people in some village in Asia or Africa, who live so far away from any infrastructure, that even if there did intervene, the state body, they just do not (to) would be tangible?
I laugh my head off!

Their fault in some of these signature events is also just based on the fact that many Western people just assume the situation here could be transferred to the rest of the world.

I will not shake the feeling, most of such initiatives serve only the purpose to gain relative freedom and prosperity than in the Central Europeans living a good conscience. So a bit like modern indulgences.
That sounds harsh, I know, but I can put on it and then another.
These actions always remind me too much of the old colonialist mentality. We are so advanced, so modern, we show the retarded times now, what is right and what is wrong.
I represent that is of the opinion that, without doubt necessary bitter place, changes in other countries and cultures only from within, can, only to langsfristig by his success.
I'm not saying that all people who participate in such actions, not my sincere good. But it was just in the history always those who felt called because of any supposed "advantage", deep into unknown intervene supposedly less advanced cultures of other peoples and thus the normal cultural development disturbs and sometimes confusion brought up today. The only good it felt!

If you already support someone wants, then at least those derived from the culture where they still live, and in turn want to change their own circumstances. But to help those no signatures or good advice from a distance.
would be another way to help to build schools and thereby increase the level of education because higher education at the same time draws a wider horizon for himself and opens up other perspectives. But please, not with Western teachers and under Western world view, but by people who are stuck in the situation there.

Vine Deloria Jr.. once wrote that it was a mistake is to assume that the Native Americans today would still zwangskolonialisiert to date of 200 years ago, when they are not packed in reserves, and had assimilated. They had the time very well adapted to the changed situation, because it spoke to their mentality and nature, but very slowly, but without the painful loss of their own culture and roots.
And even there it meant some people, idealists and missionaries, only good ...

It is always very easy to oppose something his voice than worrying about how meaningful and far-reaching one's own actions because with respect to the grievance complained, or to seek constructive solutions.
sign any petition to Better than even "loud" to be, and even "hand" to create.
being said, for example, to use annual leave to driving times in the respective areas to inform themselves on the ground and there even something useful to do in the direction, or to grant the unjustly persecuted temporary hospitality, not to mention .

more, rather than as a threat of stoning women in Iran to wring a quick and painless signature, it would in my opinion, more appropriate here to join a multi-cultural women's group.
to almost any signature collection campaign, there are local and associations and initiatives in cooperation with mostly before the grievance fugitive, at least in the regions concerned coming and put himself in the matter in any way involved persons for improvements and the very active there and in cooperation with local groups. One has to do to find it.
That being said, one can live their commitment to that end in this country. The family next door, literally trembles before the despotic head of the family grant, support and even if it is to signal only, "I'm here, if you need help!" or not but look away when again some "freak" because of his otherness harassed by his fellow bullied, or is beaten.

And, for starters, just something to pay attention only his attitude and his choice of words. I find it strange, for example, when people use while supporting freedom of belief and self-determination, against discrimination of any kind, but in normal conversation then cut out sayings that make their fellow human beings those rights in dispute. So you can not make it strong, that one's faith in this country accepts or lashing out against religious intolerance regime, but at the same time, in some very derogatory manner, or at least not very constructive, of express the belief of others.
One can not engage in sexual self-determination anywhere in the world, but to get excited about here in the public smooching gays and lesbians and to express that one disturbs this "offensive" behavior.
Also you can to, in my opinion, do not worry about any of refugees from war-torn areas of turmoil, but at the same time approve, for example, the Bundeswehr mission in Afghanistan, because people allegedly without the required could live in peace before the Taliban. This does not only cast out the Devil with Beelzebub, but also represents the absolute ignorance of local historical, cultural and social conditions. The Taliban were able to come to power only because the sole reason that for nearly 150 years, any Western forces there "playing war" weak tribal leaders helped to power and the heavy fighting.

think so at first, then talk and then act.

But it is always easier to recruit the petition for such, the freedom of any rogue state to use anywhere in the world than this to learn the hard way by being granted the same unmittelbren people.
The high ethical values that cause so loud own words, to just sit around his signature advised all too easy to sway, if it means sacrificing himself for once in your own "convenience" to make.

But all this may just be central theme in these circles in various discussions and threats that turn again and again to such petitions, signature campaigns and initiatives are not merely. The majority is very fast very aggressive. Become of philanthropists who use other vehemently for the rights of man and animal suddenly very narrow-minded contemporaries. The enthusiasm with which they give each other no matter how nonsensical action with their "Wilhelm" strongly suggests, then sometimes into an almost vicious fanaticism, the other views can not allow simple.
Free under the motto: "Who is not with us is against us!"

The crown then usually just put the ever-sacrificing savior of the world which are also in this issue mostly on the front line, which denied immediately rather polemical chief of her horse down the critics of any compassion or ethical competence.

There's this quote from Karl Heinz Böhm:
"I can not change the world, but one man: myself.
(respect the way for his commitment, he has then pulled fully, do not know as the great savior of the distance, but on the ground and beyond colonialist mentality. His foundation offers financial Resources for self-help and is still above criticism.)

So if you want to change the world already, then you should not be launched somewhere in "Behind Turkistan", but rather in their own microcosm, in itself, and if only to question me, why you really believe you have to carry the healing in the most remote areas of the world.

put Lately I keep asking the question, what can these people run away into the distance, where it "at home" but apparently there to do there?

way, I also draw with petitions, I also like to participate in letter campaigns, but only if I am sure may be that this approach also brings something. Only, neither do I consider myself therefore, as an impeccable person, I am doing this for my karma (the Buddhist-inspired people among us "Esos": not good karma, but will produce no karma from the eternal cycle ^! ^) or is expecting a praise of some kind, yet it is my will that I do all men equal.

I think it's the contrary, not only as a given right that everyone follows only his vision, but also quite positive, if everyone is committed to his own focus. The fact is
also to compensate.

And, last but not least, I have no need to swing the club morale or psychological tricks to use to force other people to something.

For me, even just in the sense just defined by Timothy Leary bids for the Molecular Age:

  1. Thou shalt not alter the consciousness of thy fellow men.
    (German:. You shall not change the consciousness of thy neighbor)
  2. Thou shalt not preventable thy fellow man from altering his or her own consciousness.
    (German: Thou shalt not prevent your neighbor from changing his or her consciousness.)

Contrary to what some and unfortunately again and again by negative examples confirmed rumors, I think mankind not in general for a flock of sheep, which always follows a bellwether, but am firmly convinced that with all the potential in themselves, individually to make for themselves the right decisions. Some have not yet discovered not only, or are out of practice.

The world savior from selfish motivated conviction use this fact will also be happy without mercy, in which they, in my opinion, see the chance to present themselves to the "flock" as the lead animal to it's designed for their highly personal vision of " make a better world "and then react, but pretty pissed off when the herd sometime not everything moves along, but then it is very reminiscent of their agency.
Yes, and then goes the litany starts again: " I tear here, a leg, but the others go with just not because they * easy, stupid, amoral, indifferent to (insert any word please) * are So I must be failing, poor man. Where it but only about my ... ! "


love Enver Better World, do-gooders and moral high ground!
Get used to it. Setbacks are part of life.
C'est la vie!

Then you stand up again, learn from the mistakes and just starts taking into account of experience again to new.

If you want to do something for your Karma or soul (and you do so mainly for you, if you seriously would go around the world, you would on your fellow man, which includes this same term also does not exert such a pressure) , then it makes it alone.

Anyway, refutes your own battles and let the others fight their battles and does not use them as pawns in your campaigns.
But without an audience, the one being courted, praised and stroked his ego, makes it so no fun, right?

It's great, I also found the comment of a friend to date you promoted petition against factory farming, which I must necessarily mitzeichen when I was only remembered whence his opinion, the food for the now almost 7 billion people should come and then he seriously thought that anyone could still hold for their own use at least rabbit or chicken ... yeah, in the city, is in a three-room apartment, on the possible presence of a balcony ... and then slaughtered in the Bath ... and in the flower box grows corn and vegetables - because against the large monocultures he is too.
