This world is just a canvas to our imagination. Everything you can imagine is real. .....It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.......What we wish, we readily believe, and what we ourselves think, we imagine others think also.

A Tiny Opening Between Clouds Shows Us A Luminous Yellow That Only The Life-giving Sun Is Capable Of.
A tiny opening between clouds shows us a luminous yellow that only the life-giving sun is capable of.
Looking at this scenario we realise that all the trees that are immobile were already there and will still be there when we are past.

It's always an experience when you see it as well as when you like it.

Yesterday the dead came to him, the one who had made such a long journey.
A journey from his childhood in a dictatorship with large landowners Into a foreign land through time until yesterday.
He was one of many children who were independent and free. Even in his early youth he was here and there and nobody knew exactly what he did during the day. Then the time came and he got married because that's what people did. He and his wife had two girls when his country was in upheaval. For him, work was a duty in which he went out of his way to give to his colleagues, he did his work for the sake of money and recognition. He didn't adapt, he prioritised his freedom over his family. The time of the revolution had come and he left the country to find a better life. For himself and his wife and two girls. The country he arrived in was foreign and needed him to increase its prosperity. But he was just a guest worker in a society that looked down on guest workers. He quickly made friends as he was sociable with colleagues who also became friends. Then the time came for his wife and two girls to follow him to the foreign country where the wealth resided. She had a flat in a large financial metropolis and he took care of her upkeep. His life at that time consisted of work, society and family, always maintaining his independence.
He was his own master even when he worked for other masters.
A man with a family who fulfilled his duties and what was expected of him, but only because it was a social duty. Not that he didn't love his family, but a man with a family. In the course of time their residence changed but they remained in the same town. He became well known and respected in the neighbourhood where he lived. He helped where help was needed and beyond. His independence was so great that when he was older he only came home to eat and watch television and sleep. He could be seen in the back of the house fixing bikes for anyone he knew or who knew him. His girls were out of the house, with one of his girls dying at a young age. This was as close to him as it had to be, he was a man and father of the old generation. But his life went on, he worked with many people even beyond his retirement. The times he lived through did not change him.
So he lived his life as the Portuguese man in his neighbourhood, always helpful and friendly to the world to get recognition.
He had a wife and two girls because that's the way men are. Now he is dead and even before his death he knew no compromise, he was free and did what was not good for him.
I didn't really know him because he was only ever nice to me and did his social duty when I visited him and his wife. We ate together and went on outings and once even a short trip to a big Catholic church that he really wanted to see.
I took one of his girls as my wife, or rather she took me, so I was part of his world and not looking for it.
He died yesterday after a short serious illness, today I saw him for the last time.
He lay peacefully in the sun in his hospital bed and is now extinguished and part of eternity.
Thank you that you had a family and that I can call such a beautiful woman my wife.
Mario the Portuguese may you rest in peace. A long journey has come to an end.
When you arrived at the hospital they asked us if you were really 84 years old as you were so fit and had all your teeth, well yes you were fit until just before the end. An incredibly independent man with a family connection. I said that without fervour, without anger, people can't go against their nature and yet are duty conscious.

The misery of the world is built on the orders of such people.
And all those who do not question them.
Hatred and revenge only lead to abysses that never end.
The eighth of May, the end of the Second World War and liberation from a totalitarian regime of violence that had the whole free world holding its breath.
The fall of the greatest insane criminal third Reich was initiated on the first day of d-day the day of the beginning of liberation with supernatural sacrifices.
The Antif was a bundling of all the forces over which the Nazis brought horror and their allies!
Young men selflessly gave their lives to create a world without fascism for future generations.
Never forget this and recognise the signs of the times, never again fascism applies and will always be valid.
Never again fascism!
When the good are silent, evil wins!

Never forget the victims of the Second World War who were disenfranchised and cruelly and systematically murdered.
Remembering is not letting the past become the future!

Every responsible, independent-minded person has a responsibility to oppose injustice, not to retaliate but to prepare a peaceful and free future for all.
All over the world, forces are gaining strength that range from right-wing to fascist and offer simple solutions for a world of complex interrelationships.
They use lies, propaganda and division to try to dissolve social consensus in order to come to power in chaos.
As democrats, we must stand up to these forces in order to ultimately protect our own freedom and the freedom of others.

There are islands of democracies in the world surrounded by dictatorships that want to kill these islands to enforce their own interests and that does not mean freedom!
His will to absolute self-destruction was more related to the country than to the Nazis, unfortunately! The guilt was never really acknowledged by the perpetrators but only accepted by the generations after theirs.

The last of the grunge and more.....
Pearl Jam is an American rock band that popularised grunge in the early 1990s with Nirvana, among others. It is the only one of the big Seattle grunge bands that has been in existence and producing albums ever since.
However, their roots are not only to be found in grunge. Rather, Pearl Jam was influenced in many different ways. Pearl Jam's music is also much more diverse and cannot be categorised exclusively in the grunge genre.
Some boring background information about the music history of grunge for music nerds and all the others who can and want to read ....

Grunge was commercially successful in the early to mid-1990s thanks to releases such as Nevermind by Nirvana, Ten by Pearl Jam, Superunknown by Soundgarden, Dirt by Alice in Chains and Core by Stone Temple Pilots. The success of these bands increased the popularity of alternative rock and made grunge the most popular form of rock music.
