Why...?


You fail….you lose….you got sick…you struggle….WHY?
I am sure you have raised your hands so many times asking …WHYYYY??? haha! I am sorry for the laughter but to WHOM are you pointing your question???  To God?  To me??  To the universe??  Let’s say that you don’t believe in gods and stuff….so consequently your question has no answer!! You fail, lose, struggle because it has just happened!!! The guy next to you is in perfect shape, his pockets full of money , and has no worries compare to yours! So…..what is happening?? You still asking why aren’t you? Maybe this is not the right question…..Lets now say that you believe to God-whoever God we don’t care here….So your ultimate question goes to Him! But…who are you that you will ask God WHY??? Because He wants it like this! For sure he is gonna have his reasons…and by believing to Him you have to accept His will….Not to mention that if your God is one of the good ones you should know that whatever he does,it is for your good because His love is countless….So again…..you ask the wrong question!!
At least now we have a clue that no matter who you are and what you believe the question to your life’s biggest problems is not WHY!! I am not here to manipulate you….I will just try to see if there is something better to do rather than asking Why to the air-God-whatever…
So…I will use the example of poverty….let's assume that you are poor in this extend (the real,deep,unsustainable poverty is a HUGE issue but for now let's stick on this)…you make it through everyday, you have food, a house to live but you have absolutely no access to the ‘entertaining’ area created from the system….sometimes your life seems miserable,especially when you compare it to all the other ‘civilised’ people, that have the opportunities to do whatever they want whenever they need it.
Is this the truth? Are they really able to have whatever they need ?
Yes of course, I will use LOVE as a first example… But its not only that they cant buy love -as The Beatles once sung – it goes deeper… Money and getting involved to their system that produces money connects everything to the consuming power of   a human being….Consequently people with money and power are living in a world made of false promises and false expectations … From the time we are born we are being bombarded of how money and wealth can lead us to happiness and to prosperity.Think now…How is it easier to experience true love in this life? Love has nothing to do with material things I hope that everyone agrees to that…So if our lives are full of material needs and consuming thoughts linked to our ‘piece of mind’ , inevitably Love will always be linked and compared and confused  with the biggest diamond gift, the newest game for the Playstation , the most expensive night at the most expensive hotel and NEVER with the real nature of Love….
Lets get back now to you (or me)…. We have nothing except the basics…But if for one moment – and I am sure that these moments have been there to your lives as they have been for me too- draw the line and stop envying the rich and all the values that the system imported to our lives , I am sure ,SURE, that we will obtain the highest emotion in this life…..FREEDOM! We are FREE! We can love our partners not because of their money and their power and what they can do for us , but because they are our brothers and sisters and we share the same values of Love,Peace,Freedom….We can show our children what real Love is , real Freedom  that has nothing to do with just one Christmas gift. We can be together because we share the same ground , the same dreams , the same thoughts not because of the next golf game we have to play. And from this situation , we can make our lives better…. We can organize our actions, we can boycott their establishments, we can try to bring our future closer to our nature….And for me our Nature is Love,Peace,Freedom….
We have to be together….Poverty is our weapon….But instead of taking lives it just changes them…
Stop identifying Happiness with Wealth! Stop dreaming of being like them...Stop helping them to grow more and more...
Stop asking Why……
Start shouting NOW!

Carpe Diem!

We seek pleasure through golden rubbish
adventurous patterns of a life above,They say...
sick routine enclosed monotony to my way
contemptible,lamentable shallow to the bone,I say...
So dream on-chase the infeasible-feel the will to live
and cease the day!

Slow Down....but Dance!


Did you watch the kids in the playground
or did you hear the rain as it falls on the ground
Did you see the crazy butterfly out from the cage
did you loiter the sun while dark night fades 

You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Life is short says the clown
The music won’t last forever...

Do you run ,so anxious,every single day
do you hear the answer when you say a simple hey
When the day is over do you go thoughtfull to your bed
with a hundred business-thoughts spinning in your head

You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Life is short says the clown...

Did you see the sadness in your kid’s eyes overflow
as hope expires by your killing ignorance
Did you lost in touch did you let a friendship die
cause a phonecall was the fear in your miserable trance

You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast
Life is short says the clown
The music won’t last forever...

Happiness Real Only When Shared


Happiness is the most misunderstood word in human’s history…They say to you ( we will talk about ‘Those’ later…) you have to work hard to find happiness.You have to buy more to find happiness.You have to make a family because you will end alone and happiness will be gone!So you work….all day all night….and you buy and you get loans and you buy again…and you find the first woman or man that you feel safe in the meaning of their happiness,and you get married….and now you have everything!!!! So you are happy!! THINK though!! Are you??? You feel happy when you work everyday?? When you have to stay until late to finish the big 2 billion project of your company?? You feel happy when you buy a new 40 inches TV and you put it on your big empty wall and stay there watching for hours and hours the golden rubbish that They feed you and even worse you feed your children with them too…Do you feel happy with the woman or the man you have next to you?I really wish you do, but even if she or he is the one that you love the most, have you ever asked her or him if they are happy in their lifes??? Watch out now! Do not mess the happiness They have created for your mind with even a 10% of the real happiness you could experience! In the world we live in ,happiness is almost equal to self-esteem and self-pleasure.We try to compete all the others around us in every sense.Better job ,more money,better cellphone,bigger house,stronger car ,prettier wife,wealthier husband, more power,more influence …Leading to more ignorance, more selfiness , blinding ourselves from feelings and pulling us away from our natural connection with each other. But They have their way…you think about this for one minute and the next one you are being attacked by Their homemade world that get you on your knees…And you crawl and you fall deeper in the mud…and then here comes the day when you wake up! And you look around you and you think ‘that was my life…well I hope my children will try harder…’ And then you raise your children in the same way, with the same methods ,in the same system making them unaware as you used to be….and the circle goes on and on and on…

Have you ever thought about all these? Will you remember them tomorrow?

Nobody is more enslaved than the one who faulty believes he is free…

Instead of a Manifest...

I don’t know how to start…..this can not disappoint me though. Nobody must be disappointed by the lack of ideas, motivation or reason…This is how we’ve been raised ,this is how we have learned to think , this is how we have learned to live…and NO , we are not to blame …

We are not to blame for what is daily depressing our lives..for the endless hours of thinking, trying, doubting and deciding for subjects that concern mainly others…NO we are not to blame for the poor ones, the abandoned and the hopeless.We are not to blame for the wars, the diseases, the alienation and hatred, the envy and suppression…I am not to blame –neither are you – for the homeless and the alcoholics, for the depressed and lonely, neither of course for you and me….

But when I try to think myself next to them, this is when I become disappointed….and I know that we are ALL to blame…

Now I know how to start for once…
