life can be simple but still mind blowing…

I am amazed by life; where this energy comes from keeping everything alive and going, why all the creatures yearn for just another second of life; it is mind-blowing. I am almost believing that no matter how cruel we are to the environment, the energy that is so embedded in every very single cell would fight the destruction back and win the battle at the end. It is miraculous that day and night, gunduz and gece follow one another in the most perfect cycle. I am just blown away by it, speechless sometimes…

types of businesses with the devil

Some sold it all to him, nothing left, can’t get it back or simply wouldn’t even want to have it back. Some are leasing it to him, the return is great, they don’t want to remember the “poor” days so they are “happy”. Some are renting it, sometimes long term sometimes short, whatever they can get or need for. Some are in negotiations. They are about the be resulted in “profitable” outcomes. Some has never been “successful” in negotiations. They want the deal but not sure about the risk so just put it off. Some are stockholders, just do it for the paper value of it, don’t exactly know how it all will be in the long term although they say long term is usually the way to go. Some in battlefield with him, tears, teeth, blood, sweat; they have been fighting for it for quite a while now, not to be bought by him. It is bloody hard, all they know, they won’t be happy if the deal goes on although they are not really happy now either. But, they are peaceful, hopeful and not scared, and those alone are enough reasons for feeling good. …

still thinking…

You kind of know the end, but still do what you have to do… You have an idea about them, still have hope; perhaps some things will be different… It is more tiring to show effort when you know what is coming but isn’t it the baby steps that count as the loved one said once? It is the process, not the end and  miracles do happen….

Is the world not fair to you?

Have you done your own fairness assessment at all? How have you been? Have you watched for others’ rights since you could remember? Have you given what does not belong to you back to where it belongs? Have you ever hurt so much while doing it but afterwards you felt like somebody? If not, why complain? The world is not fair, you make it one, and if you don’t, who will???

what does the other want?

We do not know because we are afraid of talking. We do not know because it might require some change and mind work out. It is a question that is not easily answered since many of us are good at just pretending. Pretend that you know, pretend that you understand, care, appreciate, value; the list goes on…

another day is over…

The day is over, the night has just started. It was just another day; the neighbor decided to remove the fences that separate our front-yard from theirs; we walked to eat at a neighbourhood restaurant rather than driving; I investigated where that money came to my account and learned the source with a little surprise; I did not finish the housework and I did not read that the world is coming to an end yet.

I had hope, I was disappointed a little, I was hungry, tired, confused and perhaps was thankful even…

there needs to be done a lot in a little time…

This is not one of those capitalistic, greedy suggestions of some that one needs to “just do it.” It is simply to say that life is a journey that has not promised you a certain amount of time. Whether the path is enjoyable or horrible, one doesn’t know when it will come to an end. That is the mystery of it, with tons of plans set aside, how realistic are you? Are you going to be investing into getting to know yourself sometimes later in life since you are too busy right know? I must say you are a bloody idiot… Excuse my language but here lies the truth my friend… Are you going to try to love that “other” child like your own only when your soul matures up sometimes in your older times? Are you going to be desiring less for yourself and giving to that who needs it more than you do again when you have so much more? I wish dearly, but I could only wish for that…It is now and only now that you have, don’t waste it, just do it…

today is the day

…there always was a past, there “always” will be a future, we often overshadow today with them. We live in the past, dream about future and minimize the power of today. Why do we do that, let’s analyze it. Not with thick stacks of references but with the existing mind power that you have  “now”. Now is what we have, let’s begin…
