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:
- Thou shalt not alter the consciousness of thy fellow men.
(German:. You shall not change the consciousness of thy neighbor) - 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.
