@Preety_India are you kidding? Preety, did you see this cat? :)))) His problem is not that he doesn´t get his meal every time he wants, but exactly the opposie - he gets it whenever he wants it. With the only physical effort of openning the mouth and saying "Meow".

Krishnamurti has a lot of passion in his gaze "I don't think people are aware, or even feel this immense sorrow that is in the world. They are so concerned with their own personal sorrow, they overlook the sorrow that a poor man in a little village in India, or in China or in the Eastern world, where they never possibly have a full meal, clean clothes, comfortable bed. And there is this sorrow of thousands of people being killed in war. Or in the totalitarian world, millions being executed for ideologies, tyranny, the terror of all that. So there is all this sorrow in the world. And there is also the personal sorrow. And without really understanding it very, very deeply and resolving it, passion won't come out of sorrow. And without passion, how can you see beauty? You can intellectually appreciate a painting, or a poem, or a statue, but you need this great sense of inward bursting of passion, explosion of passion. You know, that creates in itself the sensitivity that can see beauty. So it is I think rather important to understand sorrow. I think it is related, beauty, passion, sorrow."

Aravind Adiga I will write about 3 books: - White Tiger - Last man in tower THese both have shaken me. Accidentally I read White Tiger at the end of 2013 when revolution took place in Ukraine. "Last man i tower" I read during uprising of USSR-devotees in a coal mines region of Donbass in the beginning of russian-ukrainian war. - Golden Boy This one gave me another perspective. THough I still don´t get it Why would somebody drop everything what is really important for him and persue a minor stuff instead?? It´s so far away of logic - this tricky way of psyche 1. Let´s begin with White tiger. This is what they would call in Russian Dostoevshchina. What is Dostoevshchina? Well if Shakespearism is -- To be or not to be? That is the question -- Dostoevshchina is -- To kill or not to kill? That is the question -- Though if we speak about Dostoevski the killing for which his main character has made up his mind is like russian uprising - pointless and brutal. Student killing his loaner - an old woman for a couple of rubles. Without any plan, aim or understanding and as a result landing in the prison full of sorrow and repentance. I likes also the thought of a turkish author Orhan Pamuk on killing, how different it is in different cultures. He compared of course Orient and West. In the western culture it is a son, killing his father (s. ancient greek legend of Oedipus), in the oriental culture it is a father killing his son (sorry I forgot their main legend about it). There is a symbolism in this difference. Orient holding on the past and traditions not letting the changes come, and the West turning out to be more future-oriented, breaking in an easier way with the traditions. And Russia inbetween looking for a sense not finding it and ending up with pointless killing and suffering, killing and suffering ? Well but let´c come back to the indian white tiger P.S: Concerning "to be or not to be" I could never understand a fuss about this question. As if there were an option! Since I was a child it was clear to me: you cannot not to be!

Yes, of course. The borderline of internal ukrainian conflict is not nationalities or religions but social order. Do I want to be a part of a "great and proud" empire - now and here or do I want to be a part of a free democratic world - sometime in the future. But the choice is of course an illusion. There are no many ways, we are all, all the humanity, are on the same way, just on differrent stages of it, "great and proud empire" is not an option, it´s a step back. Like if I were an arab, I would prefer Israel to Palestina.

Don´t waste your time. I´ll tell you. Discover your divine masculinity. Be brutal, direct, indiscrete, and always leading. And I think, they won´t recommend you to argue about politics in bed. Becasue it might destroy the devine femininity of your ally
-
Your understanding is wrong. The issue is not the government, but people. Ukrainians and Russians have different preferences about the political systems and society rules. Russians want a tsar or a dictator to hold their empire together, for Ukrainians democracy and freedom are absolutely essential. We CANNOT live in one state and we even mustn´t, because Ukraine and Russia ARE 2 different states.
-
no sense do discuss it with you because are not especially good informed about the topic
-
I completely agree with this. Hamas does more damage to palestinians than to israellis. Not only more Palestinians die after launching rackets than Israellis, because they are not that efficient and dont have such a good protection like iron sky in Israel. Bit also the West would support Palestina more if not for the terrorists from Hamas.
-
I thought, he has already banned or at least warned us till now. Because what we are doing is it a game A? B? C? not sure ?
-
That is it. The people who are not involved directly just have their favorite teams without bothering much about what is right and what is wrong. I was exactly like that myself till revolution in Ukraine and russian invasion
-
you mean Ukkrainian soldiers killing Russian soldiers on Ukrainian territory ? please be accurate
-
over 13.000 people killed, 1 million fled from their houses Those who fled just left their houses. Into some of them the strangers have moved. The others just idle away. You cannot sell a house on the occupied territory where the shooting is still going on
-
I think, it would fit. With all the tensions and distractions happening in the world and us not giving a fuck
-
Cuddle and speak about international politics ...never done that before, would be an interesting experience

I can relate better than you think. Russia occupied my place of bith and annected Crimea. In Crimea they do exactly they same what Israellis do on the occupied pallestinian territory: they opress the ethnic residents of Crimea - tatars and move Russians to Crimea. So that this territory will be genuinely russian. But I cannot imagine Ukrainian army firing rockets at Crimea´s cities (I mean cities not millitary bases). I would never never support it. Even if I knew that the rockets hit Russians moved to Crimea. To kick them off after Crimea gets back to Uktaine - yes, to kill them - no.
-
Wasn´t it Hamas who started firing rockets? What would be the right response to that? I read that before that the Israeli police arrested some Palestinians. That´s why Hamas fired rockets. But arresting people is not the same as firing rockets, at random people. Correct me if I am wrong
-
Yes, I would. I would do it as long as I am sick of this type of relationship, of this type of partner, of the silly pattern. It´s better that the relationship without attraction and longing for attraction, no matter how unhealthy it would be. There is of course another option - no to go for a relationship at all. But to contemplate, meditate and try to understand rationally, what is happenning and why. Though rational understanding is not of much help, but in combination with meditation it might be.

Ah, ok, it´s not quite basices. Basics is music classes in the school. Do you know, what I´ve lerned there? Never sing on public! In my family nobody sings or plays instrument. Well my aunt can play piano, but I´ve never heard her playing, though there was a piano in the house. Becasue they forced her to piano, and since then she hates it. In Soviet Union it was a kind of status. If you want to count as a good family of a higher status, let your child learn piano. Piano counted as a decent classical upbringing. Violin was for nerds

@seeking_brilliance Have you learned to play piano as a child? We with my daughter have inherited a keyboard too. And the manual atteched Ok, I didn´t even try, but my daughter did for some time.. apparantly it was too difficult
-
I think there is no such thing as logical love. I think, the only way for a person with a troubled childhood is to see clearly the unhealthy patterns, the damage they create and the absurdity of the whole situation. To see and stop pursuing these patterns - in a natural way. Like you stop playing with dolls in an adult age. I would never go for the relationship without attraction. I don´t beleive such a relationship can function.
-
@seeking_brilliance Do you compose the music yourself? It´s really very good for someone with basic stuff taught as a child. I couldn´t take a note. Do you play on a real piano or online?

There is nowhere, you can wake up from the dream you call life. But you can become aware of the dream nature of life -
For me it´s like climbing a mountain - difficult and long. But once a decision is taken (to spend money), it´s like merry rushing down - qiuck and breath-taking. I have decided to do a big investment. I´ll buy and let install an electric heating pump in combination with photovoltaics on the roof and accumulator in the cellar for nights and rainy days. It´s so fucking expensive even with state funding, compared to a normal gas heating, it will take me all my savings. But hey, no fucking Russian gas in my house (they can do with North Stream what they want - I won´t buy it) and no CO2 in the sky.

It´s funny Your monster voice telling: I don´t wanna rule or conquer anyone, I´d like to help if possible

I have never liked Michael Jackson, so I don´t have to ask me this question. Maybe I am wrong, but I think, onlly a sensitive compassionate person with a smart heart is capable of real masterpieces. Everything underneath of masterpieces are "nice to have", but I could do without them.
