Random Thoughts

Random thought of the day!

2010-10-07T10:17:00.000-07:00

I had this 'vision' yesterday that something happened to our planet and all of us died except for a few. Due to the catastrophe those few survivors were forced to go back to the primitive ways of our ancestors to get by and to keep on surviving. So i thought to myself...
What if those few survivors had kids and so on and so forth and in hundreds of thousands of years they would have developed into a futuristic type of civilizations and they would eventually have forgotten about us and the way we used to live. What if they started digging around to excavate our bodies like we do to our ancestors and to those that used to live here in a time before us? Would they think that they are smarter than we were in our time? (I am not a Darwinian so lets just ignore the evolution theory.) Since we always seem to forget the fact of how 'privileged' we are to have been born into a time of lets say for example mashinery; we hardly do any hard labour these days. So is it really right for us to think that we are smarter than our ancestors?

Destroying Mother Earth

2010-09-20T21:33:00.000-07:00

Our need and greed for growth

Has exhausted life in oceans and on earth

Dead zones are expanding

Beautiful creatures becoming extinct

Our eco-system partly paralyzed

By the poison we inject it with

But we plug speakers into our ears,

We ignore the obvious, deaf to the truth

Selfish in every way, blinded by the bling we wear

Money in the bank the only thing that makes us care

Some cant picture life past their fence

Others deny the thruth

Not realising we’re in a long line of loosers

And we’re the ones that’ll lose the most

Earth has survived many catastrophes

But can she survive the human assault?

Maybe -or maybe not

If she does, we humans will not.

Earth never stood a chance.

Its in our nature to destroy the world.

Picture Perfect

My Love for you is beyond infatuation

Far deeper than puppy love

And beyond physical attraction

You are my everything;

My friend and confidante -

My partner in crime.

For you I'd go to worlds ends

And declare war on anyone that tries to put you down.

'I love you' cannot nearly describe the emotions

That pass through my body when i picture you;

A longing-sensation, anger and frustration,

but above all the PURE joy that lifts me high

And turns my frown into a smile.

That's why whenever i feel blue -

I just picture you.

Racism

2010-07-04T17:07:00.000-07:00

'A Rattlesnake, if cornered will become so angry it will bite itself. That is exactly what the harboring of hate and resentment against others is; A biting of oneself. We think we are harming others in holding these spites and hates, but the deeper harm is to ourselves.''

Eradicating Racism and Hate is like asking a colour-blind person to solve the Rubik's cube. An impossible task! But we should never stop trying and never stop fighting those who threaten to spread violence and injustice, and those whose only satisfaction in life is to oppress and take advantage of the weak.

We need to learn to forgive each other and make friends with our enemies. Deep down we're all the same and if pushed hard enough we are all capable of committing unspeakable crimes. There is no such thing as 'committing evil to destroy the greater evil'. It only adds to the suffering of this world.

The only way we can make a difference is by talking to each other, making compromises and by learning to respect and tolerate each others cultural, traditional and religious differences, because diversity is what makes our world so beautiful!

Crazy Dreams

“Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.” - Marsha Norman

Have you ever had one of those dreams that don't feel like dreams? Well i have:

For some reason I was really tired this afternoon but I didn't really want to go and have lie down just yet, so I kept on reading this article. After trying to fight off sleep for quite a while , I soon found myself dozing off into the world where everything is possible.

I was in my sitting-room on the sofa and I just looked up, at nothing in particular and it felt like I was concentrating with my eyes. All of a sudden snow started to fall. Was I really making snow fall just by looking screw-faced? It seemed so. I tried again and snow started to fall around me once more.

Soon enough i started to figure out how to make money with my new found 'magic-trick'. Then I would go to poor countries where they would melt the snow and tadaa- now they had fresh and clean water.

It didnt feel like I was a super-hero at all and in my dream I was more amazed at my abilities to produce snow from scratch than all the other people were. When I opened my eyes I looked around with the feeling of relief as I was telling myself 'that everything was alright and i havent lost my specail skill'. I don't really know why I woke up and i know some of you are going to laugh, but I really believed that I could make snow appear out of nowhere for at least the first half an hour after I woke up.
It just felt so real.

I do believe that dreams have a purpose. It may only be just for the reason to help our brain process the events that day, but i also believe that there also is another profound reason for why we dream.

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." - Anatole France

I wonder what my 'crazy dream' says about me? What story does it tell about me?

Share your crazy dreams!

Blood, Sweat and Luxuries

So, has anyone watched this programme on BBC4 last night? It is amazingly thought provoking and emotionally depressing to see the horrendous conditions that the majority of Africa's children live in.
The cast are young girls and boys who are in their late teens and early twenties and I found it very interesting to see and observe their different reactions, opinions and attitudes to all the different aspects of life that these locals face every day.
I from now on will think twice about what I buy and where I buy it from. I might even consider buying fair-trade products once I find out where to buy them from. But is that the right thing to do? I mean if only a few of us change to fair-trade products it will hardly change the profits they make but imagine if a significant amount of people stopped buying these shoes? Will that not put these poor people out of business? A lose-lose situation!
Isn’t it extremely unfair that a pair of trainers that will cost us over here £60 - £150 only sell for £8 in Ethiopia?
They make so little profit on their produce it is ridiculously unfair and when they try to get more money out of the companies they threaten them with changing over to a supplier in China who are apparently even cheaper.
Well, it is certainly something to think about. We should all be more aware.

Poems from the past

I Love To Write

I love to write
        to write about everything
But sometimes its hard
        to write about the things that are on my mind

I love words
        Words that rhyme
It's not always easy
        and sometimes it takes time

I think allot
        Allot about everything
Life and death, religion and God
        Love and Hatred.

There're many things I'd like to change
        many things that should be changed
But I'm one in a billion
        and thinking is not enough

I've seen many things
        I've lived my live to the limit
And now I'm sitting here... reminiscing
Contemplating about the good and the bad times
Thinking about all the wrong and rights
        And writing all this nonsense (rubbish)

That's how much i love to write.

My First Love

My first love, how could I forget you?
My only love, so pure and true

Your the one I think about the most
Your the one I worry about allot

Your the one I dream about each night
How I wish you'd be here, holding me tight

Not a day goes bye in which I don't look back
At those days where I could have held your hand

There's not a day when I'm not filled with regret
For not telling you how much you really meant

But I wonder if it would have changed the way -
I think about you every day...

After all these years, I'd give the world
To know what it's like to be your girl

I still love you for whatever it means
And I shall always love you for as long as I breathe...

A War With No Purpose

A war with no purpose, we mourn and We cry
For the loved ones lost, for all the lost happy times.

A war that has no meaning, nor a justified reason
It has not brought any good, but only spread evil

A war with no purpose creates a life full of fears
hearts become stones and eyes no longer shed tears

A war with no purpose,
a battle between BROTHERS
we say we're ONE PEOPLE
but a leader CAN'T be ONE
as we DON'T see him as equal
NOR do we another

But we are the future and we shall protect our seeds
Time wont heal our wounds, but it shall make us stop bleeding!

We are the future and our country's only hope
And God will help us, if we help ourselves

My strenght might weaken, but hope remains strong
To one day return to where i was born

There is no place like home.
