Love Is All You Need - Tumblr Posts
I've learned, the hard way, that you find the simplest and most beautiful bits of wisdom in those things that most people don't pay attention to.
I must also admit that I've learned that you can really find most of what you need to know to be a good person from watching The Andy Griffith Show. I guess I just want a simpler time that I'm too young to have experienced.
There is a time in life when everything fits, but at some point we start to emphasise only the downsides and turn the beauty of life into endless attention to small, annoying details.
At some point, we are alone and see ourselves as failures. But the problem is not around us, it is within us.
We have somehow forgotten that life is a gift and that we should celebrate it and not struggle with it.

Collecting stones is one of the most beautiful ways to pass the time, in the here and now. Only those who know that they cannot ultimately own things learn to appreciate life. Even life is only a temporary loan.
All the stones I have ever collected accompany me until they are stones again without me, without ever having known that they were part of my life. Only the gravestone knows your name.
It was a crazy dream of equality freedom friendship and peace dreamt by a fool. A fool who believes that only when all borders fall will freedom be boundless and equality the nature of the norm.

I experienced the most beautiful day of this dream here at the MMM in Bolzano. Appreciating cultures means seeing them with an open mind, feeling them so that we are aware at all times.
The greatest of existence is to put your existence in the foreground and to forget your own ego in the rush of existence.
The here and now, looking at the space around you, has to flash you to realise how unique it is to be alive. In space and time for a tiny moment before eternity goes on without you.
Wow, this is what it looks like when you have recognised the true essence of life despite different religions. See the other person and recognise yourself.... what makes us different is not the difference, as is so often propagated by populist people, but what we have in common!
Those who recognise the needs of others ultimately see what they have in common.
Love, happiness, health and contentment create great things.
Concord does not make things great, discord does not make great things.

A world that presents civilisation with such great challenges can only find solutions together.
By the way, in the context of climate change, we should recognise that the scarcity of drinking water in the Mediterranean region can only be solved peacefully together. Otherwise, even more injustice will arise, resulting in even more terror and despair.
The pied pipers of any idiotic ideology, whether political or religious, need the breeding ground of misery and hopelessness to recruit their future murderers.
Give people a future, and stop counting each other's misdeeds of the past.
This is how thirty years of war were ended. Why not take an example from the past?

I like what I see, I want what I like, I own what I want and what I own loves me.

Who doesn't just want to be good?
I also use women as a sex object; maybe I'm kinky. However, I like to talk to them as well.
Oliver Reed
Are vampires kinky? I didn't know.
Roger Ebert
There's never any time for anything that's remotely kinky, and even when I try to send some kinky stuff, it always gets shut down.
Guy Sebastian
I paint stupid things; that's what I do. I can't think of anything more boring than a really beautiful thing. You have to mess it up. There has to be something a little kinky to keep their attention.
Billy Al Bengston
The magic of things is that in the end they are all fleeting, you don't really own anything like your own arm. Those we believe we possess possess us, especially our passions.
Passion that creates suffering, a fusion of longing coupled with desire to forget.
It's not me who controls passion, it controls me. Every dom of self-importance and self-indulgence thinks he leads the sub, but far from it, it leads him.
Once someone has awakened the desire in you, they can lead you on a lead even if they have the collar on at the end of the lead.

Part of the game is that you only ever sell the illusion, never yourself. A concept of self-promotion with a passion.
You only ever look at the moon but you never set foot on it. I like what you do, it's like a shop full of anticipation for all people who like to look at the moon.
Don't get me wrong it really is a pleasure to look at you but a coffee in a kinky bar in reality is always my first choice.
Let's look at the concept of hell. It is a concept that is easy for humans to grasp, and yet there are other elements that are diametrically opposed to the concept of heaven.
Black and white are perceived as the opposite. One might wonder why sulphur is seen as the opposite of clouds.
If there is no religion, one could theorise that the earth is the hell of a pangalactic dimension.
This could be considered an evil string theory.
It could be argued that those who have committed truly heinous acts in other universes end up on Earth.
One might wonder why Earth is assumed to be a hell.
In fact, it can be observed that patterns of behaviour have been repeated since time immemorial. Perhaps most disturbing is the tendency to fight each other over issues such as land, ideology, religion, power, influence and money.
When it's not war, it's peace, and when it's peace, it's war. One step forward, one step back.
Alliances are made, alliances are broken, power and influence are sought, spheres of power and influence are established, greed, arrogance, pride, vanity and Nazism are accepted. Personal gain is sought.
Everything that has happened in the course of history has been part of a larger, cyclical pattern.
The rise and fall of empires is an example of this eternal pattern. Hatred, lies, envy, marginalisation and other negative feelings are also part of this cycle.
It can be argued that there is love and goodness in the world, and therefore both heaven and hell are likely to exist.
It is an eternal battle between light and shadow.
If we observe the world around us, it is obvious that it is not a hell in certain parts. It is not bound to places. Rather, it is a matter of time, place and circumstance. When these elements come together, evil manifests itself.
The existence of hell depends on the actions and intentions of those who create it and is not a pre-existing entity.

Hell is just another word when humanity is absent.
This statement and the associated ideas of what a world could look like is great.

Mindfulness, Woke, Kindness, Truth, Facts, Compassion and a sense of responsibility have somehow gone out of fashion.
When woke becomes a dirty word and compassion breeds contempt, it is not good for our civilisation.
Whenever these tendencies have emerged in the history of mankind, it has always led to absolute catastrophe.
Well, good night littel Marie!
The amazing pacifist who will bravely defend democracy with a weapon if necessary when it comes to an emergency. Adapted from the brilliant Albert Einstein.

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
Albert Einstein
I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.
Albert Einstein
We always say we rehabilitate and educate with compassion and understanding, but when it really comes down to it, it's going to be hard!
Red lines are not to be crossed, full stop
mod
We are not into culture war and panic, we are only into the clear signal of denial that democracy is weak. To all those who follow the path of blindness, hatred and misanthropy!
More than just one day, I need a lifetime of these to celebrate you.

Valentine's Day is pointless really. Why not love every day?
