The World is going wrong

He Jo,

A friend of mine posted this sentence on her Facebook wall: Objects are made to be used and people are made to be loved. The World is going wrong, because people are being used and objects are being loved.

In the majority of the situations she is sadly right :(

Originality in 2011

Hey Jo.

I wanted to share this picture with you.

I think it's beautiful.

This Canadian photographer Michael Chrisman used a pinhole camera fitted with photosensitive paper to make a 365-day exposure of the Toronto skyline from Jan. 1, 2011, to Dec. 31, 2011.

Hugs.

yes i miss you too.

a poem for you:

eternal

the grand show is eternal. it is always sunrise somewhere;

the dew is never dried all at once;

a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising.

eternal sunshine, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and

island, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.

Positive thinking

When I left Holland more than a year ago I thought the world was lost.
Lost because I saw so many unhappy people.
Lost because I saw people treating each other in such an ugly way.

Now a year later I do believe that there is hope.
I meet so many people who do things different.
Who live there lives and are capable of truly loving each other.

I do not believe that the world will change over night.
And I do not believe that it will happen in a specific year.
But I do believe that the world is changing more drastically and rapidly than it changes normally.

You are a positive person.
You believe in love as a cure for a bleeding world.
And you believe that your positive actions have impact on how the world turns.

And your right.

We all have a part in how things go.
We should all treat each other with the same respect we have for our selves.
And then the world would change to a much nicer place.

I love you.


P.s: You say I'm a positive person... and I have to say that I just truly believe that positive thinking and love is the solution to everything. I know that the way I think for some people is delusional or dreamy. But I don't care because it works for me :)

change

everyday is a new day. every second the world changes. and we are definitely a part of it.

i dont know much about 2012 nor the mayas so i dont really have an opinion. but to be honest, i dont think the world will change in one specific date or even in one specific year.

i want to make a good change in my world and hopefully that can mean a good change in other people's world... but in wont happen overnight - far from it.

i dont believe a revolution can occur without oppression and some form of violence. i prefer to take a different road.
i work on a slow (r)evolution of our my own consciousness.

i do believe i can change the world. but with the smallest actions. being kind to each other. acknowledging each other. not judging each other. knowing everyone is a person like me and giving them the exact respect i have for myself.

it may sound very normal and easy but its not. and you can see it just by looking around you. the way some people treat each other makes me so sad..

maybe the world wont change because i say hello to the men that sells newspapers outside of HEMA. but i am sure i made the day of that man a better day and hopefully he will make somebody else's day a better one as well.

i am not so interested in changing the economy or politics.. i believe that if we realize that every single person in this world is as important as we are, and therefore if we would treat each accordingly, things would change in a deeper way.

of course its all a big utopia and i am aware of that. but i will still do what i believe to me my part...

:) its difficult to explain. we once started talking about it through skype but i couldnt explain myself. maybe now i was more sucessfull..


what do you think?


(after a week of writing this text, i am reading it again and i am not sure.... i guess i am not a positive thinker as you are. i dont think the world will change just like that.. but you know what... maybe it will! and it is great to dream about it and try our best for it to happen!! )
