Feux d'artifice ou tête d'artifice?


C'est beau à regarder les feux d'artifice, surtout quand ce n'est pas toi qui en fais les frais. Toutes ces couleurs, ces formes, ce rêve, notre visuel est epoustouflé.

Et puis quoi? Et puis c'est parti, pffft, c'est du mirage, c'est de l'instantané, on oublie 1 minute après ce qu'on a vu ou senti, même les caméras ne peuvent capter la beauté et l'immensité du moment, c'est tout simplement du virtuel, de la fumée et quand on se réveille on n'est même pas sonné.

On se demande d'où vient cette odeur de plomb, toute cette pollution? Soudain nos oreilles bourdonnent des éclats qu'on n'avait pas entendus alors qu'on observait, et le visuel parti, tous nos autres sens se demandent et réfléchissent au sens de tout le spectacle.

Et le sens, c'est justement ça qui manque, autant au spectacle, qu'au but du spectacle, qu'à la cervelle des instigateurs du spectacle. Les feux partis, l'artificiel apparait, l'artificiel brûle et réveille. Le rêve d'un instant sombre devant le vide des moments qui suivent, des cervelles brulées qui manquent de substance et qui nous polluent de leur présence.

Alors, qu'ils aillent ailleurs ces fous d'artifice, qu'ils nous délivrent de leur présence et de la beauté de leurs feux qui cachent la pollution de leur existence.

Kids in the street - You are killing their future



They go in the street, asking for money and playing on people's feelings to get a pound or two. You encounter them all day long, each time in a different place, always dirty, always trying to sound miserable, they are a plague in each society, and they are barely 5 or 6 years old.

The truth is they are miserable, not because of themselves, but because of their parents, because there is no applicable law to protect them, and also because of the people that give them money

While you in the car cannot do anything to change their parents, you may do little to get the children protection law to be applied, but what you can surely do is NOT TO ENCOURAGE THESE KIDS TO STAY THE WAY THEY ARE. What you are doing when you give them money is a crime, because you are encouraging them to stay where they are, and you are encouraging their parents to keep exploiting them.

So open your eyes, and do not feel guilty if they stick at the window of your car and you do not give them anything. They need to learn that in life we do not get anything for nothing, and their parents need to know that by exploiting their kids, they are not getting any return. You have a mission to accomplish, and this mission is to improve your society. So stop being stupid, and instead of encouraging negative behavior, put your money where it encourages good behavior. There are a lot of associations working to improve kids life and on educating children that have no parents, you can go there if you are so kind.

Twisted Human Thoughts

We live in a paradise all our life long, without having the vision to see it or the wisdom to perceive it.

We get drown in our day to day narrow life paths. We do not take time to look at the beautiful things around, these exquisite flowers that grew by themselves on the border of the road, this beautiful sun so bright that we can not face it directly, this beautiful music we listen to without perceiving the notes, these charming creatures that surround us and that we take for granted.

Instead of concentrating on all the enchanting matters around, we let our thoughts lead us to the dark corridors of negativity and pessimism. We negate all the beauty God created and we get ourselves into a state of denial. We concentrate on the small black spots and with practice, we teach ourselves to take pleasure in doing so.

The truth is it's not easy to learn pessimism. It's even an elaborate complicated process. It involves a lot of thinking and processing, and instead of taking things as they are, turning them again and again in our spirit and reaching to conclusions that have minimal probability to happen, then taking these conclusions as starting points for other endings that based on these have acceptable chances of happening, and repeat the process over till we get to a dark spot where the probability to get is high, but how? Based on the conclusions of the conclusions of the conclusions of the tiny probability that we based ourselves upon in the first place.

How's that for a twisted process? While all it takes to go the other path is a nice song hymn in the morning or a 5 minute walk in the sun or a beautiful word to a neighbor? Why not try the easiest process from time to time? Why not learn to be happy when it's so easy?

My Social Bookmarks

At Delicious View Here

Internet, a matter of performance!

More than a decade ago, the World Wide Web came into existence. At that time, it was curious and entertaining, and a little bit informative. It was a tool, that someone could avoid altogether without remaining aback.

Today, I don't think it's possible to anyone with good sense to stay away from the World Wide Web. It has become something indispensable, not for the social aspect, which is important in itself since it keeps people in contact in a seamless way, and not for the virtual world, which is entertaining but nothing else, but for the availability and richness of information that you get each and everyday at your fingertips.

Today, I cannot imagine myself for example not using google (or any other search tool) 10 times a day to look for almost anything, concerning my work or my leisure or my activities, which makes me wonder how people still negative to the technology and the web are performing?

A wonderful day!

Do you want to have a great day? Follow this advice:

For a day to begin on a positive note, and thus for you to put all chances on your side for having a good day, it must begin with a walk in the morning. Motion is essential. If you don't like walking, how about swimming? If swimming is not possible for you, try jumping, trampoline, anything as long as it involves motion, a lot of motion.

Motion sets you up, and boosts your emotions for the coming day, the effect could be even doubled if you listen to nice vigorous, energizing music while moving.

Next on the list is a nice cup of coffee. If you're against caffeine intake (even though caffeine is good for the heart on low doses), an orange juice can do the trick. The important thing is that you feed yourself with that extra energy boost.

Then it's time for goal setting or goal review. If you've never been into goal setting, now is the time to begin. This need not be a one in a year activity. It should become a daily routine. Each day before you do anything else, you should spend 5 minutes to fix your goals, according to your needs and wants. In my opinion, these change every day, even by a tiny portion, and if you take the habit to review your goals and objectives each and every day, you will set yourself for ultimate success because each day, you will know what needs to come next on your list, and what you need to do to stay on the track.

Next, you should translate your goals list into daily tasks. Things you have to do in order to eventually reach your goals. Reaching your goals could be immediate or it could be on the long term, but what you need to do here is divide your goals into daily actions.

Next, what you need to do is obvious: The actions related to your number one goal. Nothing less! If you work on a job that doesn't fit with your goals priority, change it so that it fits or change your job. If you think you cannot, then you need to change something in your head, not because there is something wrong with your head, but you need to change how your head is programmed.

OK? Your next activity would then be what's next on your actions list, and then what's next, and so forth.

At the end of the day, you will not only have passed a wonderful day, but you will have a wonderful night as well, with the feeling that you have done something worthy during your day, and in expectation of the wonderful day coming ahead.
