Metaphor
- 'So tell me, what would happen if it didn't happen?'
'What are you talking about? You do not know what you are talking about! Stop freaking me out! I do not need your mind games!'. He was agitated, to the point where it ate his long sighted awareness.
- 'It all changes, with your awareness. The language, their meanings, the words, the attachment to the feeling u once felt. They are not permanent, and being fixated by them will imprison you.'
'What? Language is common, we all use it and we all know what these words mean! How else would we communicate, how else would I tell you how I feel?!'
- 'Though if I tell you how I feel, will you be able to really feel how I feel? With all the fine sensations it brings, the physical feelings, the qualitative aspect completely subjectively interpreted by myself. Will you know exactly how I feel?'
'Well, I can guess.. If you tell me, I will understand what you mean'
- 'So you will understand the concept of the word which describes my feeling?
'Well.. yes, but no matter, I will be able to see how you feel.'
- 'And tell me, who created this concept? The concept which the word describes?'
'Well... its obvious. Everybody knows what a concept behind a word describes! On the end when I feel something I use a word to explain it... It's quite linear, simple.'
- 'But your feelings aren't linear, they aren't numbers. Do you understand now why we use metaphors? We avoid the faculty of reason and appeal to the emotions inside you. You paint a picture listening to a metaphor and your sensations appear automatically. You don't need to dumb them down. You feel them.That is the beauty of a metaphor.'

Memoirs
Ever since I came here, I felt that the damp has gone into everything: the buildings, the walls, the people... Damp had this effect on things - on people too - to blurry the lines, to weaken the structure, to pervasively deteriorate the foundations. I felt as if this coldness was subtly touching the edges of my existence. I feared for my warmth, having intrinsic resistance towards the local weather. I was fearing that I would lose it over time...
My hands were grabbing for the long green grass, as a walked amidst the green jungle. The grass looked very long and sharp. It had little peas of water stuck on it, remains of the morning mist. The grass was as tall as I was, if not more. My feet were small. Small shoes, wet on the front, from running through the path which existed only in my mind. Somewhere far behind I could hear my parents talking. It felt like summer. A blue radiant sky. Air filled with electricity. I felt life with every breath. I felt alive. Suddenly I stopped, looking down I saw a pond. I gazed into my reflection. I saw a boy. With puffy cheeks and curious eyes. A curious look. For a moment I stopped. Silence. The world went numb. It stopped. No movement. No vibration. It lasted a second. I turned around and screamed for my parents, happily, as if I have discovered some secret treasure. I saw them standing next to the road, leaning on the old blue car. They were dressed in the light white, grey and light blue garment. I started to run towards them, my legs carrying me, led by a cheerful intent...
- So tell me, how do you fancy it here? And while you are answering, would you be so kind to pass me that ashtray right behind you please? - I was teleported back, instantly. It lasted a moment.
- Certainly. - I turned around and grabbed the ashtray - Here you go.
- Thank you - She said, extremely politely, with an almost authentic ease. Yet I picked up, and couldn't ignore, the generic tone, manner and delivery of those 2 simple words.
- Well, in all the honesty, time will tell. It always does...

It is a gap.
Between inside and outside.
That gap hurts. It bleeds through eyes.
Can't change it suddenly. Everything would fall apart. The people, the decisions, the environment.
Maybe I wouldn't be here if it wasn't so. Maybe closest people around me, would be far away.
Shaking the foundations of a skyscraper. Yes, maybe for better, but in the process.. the roof would fall, hundreds and hundreds of meters, until it hits the curb. Once it did, it would smash everything around. Innocent things and people. Glass windows would shatter objects and people on the street. Whole rooms full of things would be crushed against the falling walls. It would be devastating. Even if the foundations moved for the better, the already correctly positioned walls and rooms would fall down as well, caught in the chaos, caught in the movement of the whole building. It would take some time. Time of despair and mess. Time of cleaning up and preparing the new construction. Certainly it would pass and the building would be reconstructed on the better foundations. But the destruction of environment, it would take its toll.
I don't have enough... right now. But I want to. It is just not the right moment, too many things would shatter.
asd
Stab the sofas until there's sponge everywhere.
I could run sprints and beat the rest.
Kill the tigers with my bear hands.
Eat people and rip their heads off.
All of this, but I don't.
I have a volcano in me.
So much energy, that I could fill the planet.
And behind anger.
Is seas of sadness.
But I don't have time, nor solitude,
to summersault in it.

"What humanists believe
Humanism is an approach to life based on humanity and reason – humanists recognise that moral values are properly founded on human nature and experience alone and that the aims of morality should be human welfare, happiness and fulfillment. Our decisions are based on the available evidence and our assessment of the outcomes of our actions, not on any dogma or sacred text.
- Humanism is a naturalistic view, encompassing atheism and agnosticism as responses to theistic claims, but is an active and ethical philosophy greater than these reactions to religion.
- Humanists believe in individual rights and freedoms, but believe that individual responsibility, social cooperation and mutual respect are just as important.
- Humanists believe that people can and will continue to find solutions to the world's problems, so that quality of life can be improved for everyone.
- Humanists are positive, gaining inspiration from our lives, art and culture, and a rich natural world.
...humanist?
IDEO, an innovative company which is constantly trying to invent new solutions to already existing 'good' things, heat concept, the new ATM, is a creator of a, so called Design thinking, based on the Architecture/Design/Anthropology (A/D/A) paradigm. There is a book, reviews, videos, and articles from well known academic institutions positively reviewing IDEO's way to innovation. Now, if you noticed recently, creativity is on the increase. If you regularly read journals regarding economy, business, social trends, and education, it has been a topic clearly repeated in different contextes. It might be that Daniel H. Pink is right when he is saying that the whole of the manufacturing, linear, left brain thinking jobs (including the accounting and financing) are offshoring to the countries in the rise, Africa, Asia, Brasil. Statistically, it is easy to understand without going into the psyche. The number of universities I saw, just in China, really makes it evident that they will catch up fast with the linear knowledge, and be able to offer the non-creative, non-innovative kind of services. So what is left, yes, the left part of the brain: concepts, stories, patterns, bigger picture, out of the box.
The interesting thing is that if you look at quantum physics, it is clearly explain that quants -> vibrations compose materia. Looking at a neuro discoveries, via meditation, psychology, and alternative practices, our consciousness can pick up these vibrations, depending on the level of awareness, and process them as feelings. The feelings than correspond with emotional patterns which depend many factors of personal growth, which transform into ideas. The evolution from physical, over mental to emotional is happening, some authors would argue.
The technological platforms clearly give an incredible sandbox in which these trends are transmitted. They were always there, in one way or another, but the general mainstream perception towards, once-upon, 'geeky-stuff', is radically changing. Yet these are not the same linear programmers, or, so called, geeks. Once yet, but it was devoid of human-centred focus, emotions, thus it was very foreign. Today, it is ALL ABOUT the human-centred programming and creation. This is where Design kicks in.

aggression
Once hidden in the stone
It is energy moving, chaos in my breath.
It is a feeling which, inside me, slept.
I've controlled it, and fought it.
Yet it always came back, to haunt me.
We sat down, smoke the pipe.
Had anew a meeting, a conversation, no fight.
From enemy, it became an ally.
an ally to use when I feel abused.
no more passivity, no more bruised.
no more snooze, no more blues.

Lens.
Passing down the corridor, I notice how empty it is. The corridor. A hospital-yellowish creamy walls, with small lanterns and a grey rugged hotel carpet. It reminds me of those american movies, especially Lost in Translation. I am like Bob Harris, or Murray, as his real name is. These things around, don't understand me. It is another world, not made out of my choice. The presence hits me again and I am exiting the elevator. I presume I was on unconscious auto-pilot mode. I can never remember the small details when it stops.
I am sitting in the seat. All these people around me. Too close, I think to myself. It is not natural, we are suffocating each other. Everybody is pretending not to look at each other. So they stare at the window, which reveals nothing but a black wall and their own reflections, or at the small, probably overpriced, uninspiring advert, sitting close to the ceiling of the train. A cracking voice with an indian accent alerts the arrival to the next station through the hidden speakers, I grab my camera and stand up. Charring Cross, it is written on the walls in some old british letters. A lot of tourists, you can notice them by taking too long to pick a direction once disembarked the train. I am one myself, I think. In this town, it seems that everybody is one...

Internet.
Internet is others subconscious screaming loud at you.
The only problem is, our genetics are not as fast as a regular speed of new tweets. There is no peace on internet. It is interactive. There to entertain you. At you own will, in speeds of milliseconds. See the new Facebook kids, and compare them to a rural kid which still plays with its toys in nature. I prefer the kid forest child. It is more authentic.
I like authenticity.

blurp.
it was then that it knew what she has done and gone away.
in the forest where it doesn't rain. with the trees than don't shine or glimmer.
like diamonds on the hands of pretty blonds. dolls and puppets with their strings attached.
dolls manipulating or manipulated by their wounds. wood so deep - scratched you can hear its screams
the terrifying winter and glowing snowflakes. on the child's' shining cheek. teeth white with smile.
in a land where down is up and up is down, airplanes going up but hit the ground.
whatever whenever it is born.
never there was a wall
which not broken it was
by the bombs or what nature has
storms and thunders quakes and water
let it pour til the last drop. glasses everywhere, millions of them on the beach=========

The lush eyebrows.
"You see, my dear boy, people run away from themselves. Even at young age. They seem to enter a faint of some kind. It is truly a horrible thing to see! Oh yes.. certainly it is! There is no more joy. No more sadness in their eyes. Sucked dry, they look. Small things become big in their eyes. It is all a big lie. To cover themselves, ..yes, ...I see you understand. To cover up all that rotten energy stuck in their memories, experiences, and ah... the thing you cannot cheat misunderstand fake, their own feelings! Such is the nature of everything, movement. Stopping means death. Remember that boy. Never stop any feelings from its coming, and its disappearing. Never stop changing. Never stop yourself from feeling the pulse of life. All of the emotions are the pulse. They come and go. As long as you don't forget how broad the life is. It is essential my dear nephew. There will be times when you will not want to feel something. Contracting, stopping everything, trying to control yourself. Do not EVER do that! Do you hear me!" John gave a slight nod opening his eyes even wider. "Always balance! Especially in anything concerning yourself! Creating and destroying is balance too! It is the law of impermanence! If you could only reason properly you would understand: there are no ordinary moments. They do not repeat. You and I will never have a conversation like this. We can repeat these words, we can recreate everything! Yet, somewhere inside of us, it will not be the same. Outside of us! It will not be the same! Remember that. Do not arrogantly think that the moments are the same. That nothing is happening. Feelings are always moving. World is always changing. Mind can pull that trick on you. Boredom is just an illusion, a contraction of everything. It is a kickstart made as to evade unpleasant moments. Yet they are the same as the pleasant ones, if one was not conditioned by past. Oh my dear boy. This must be terribly complex for your young mind to understand. I am passing such a heavy burden on you. But I must. I must! Your parents are too absorbed in their own pain and fear. They do not see it. They do not see anyone around them. Stuck in a fantasy world they are. Irresponsible of their own experiences! Ah! People can be so irresponsible! Yet, you cannot but love them!" The old men went silent.
His lush white eyebrows were towering the pair of blue eyes. He pulsed, with all his body, and a smile appeared. "It is a beautiful thing love. Love is willingness to evolve. To change! Joy that it brings. Even terrible sadness can bring joy after it has moved! Ah I must not forget! Nowadays people tend to use 'love' as a synonym for their need as to not feel things hidden deep inside. It is not love, it is a conditional fix, conditioned by past, so they feel the same way they did as young. Never mind that boy. We must move on. Fear! Do not ever fear! Fear is a thing of past and future. Not now. Not here. When you fear, you must dissolve your mind, and return to your feelings. Only ideas can bring you fear! Other people will create ideas in your head! They will try! No one wants you to find your own ideas! They want you to believe theirs, going as far as telling you what to do and what is good for you! The key is: always first gather information from the inside, stop doing it from the outside. That way you will not get lost in others ideas. People tend to think they are their thoughts, and it brings them all kind of sadness. Which brings us to the present moment. Now. Do you remember the time you wanted that silly purple toy? You cried and wanted it! Once you finally got it, what happened?"
The boy instantly answered "I played with it!".
"But for how long John?" the old men slowly asked.
"Well, a bit! it wasn't what I exactly thought it is going to be like" the child happily answered.
"Yes my dear boy, such is the nature of things. We suffer for wanting something, and finally once we get it, we suffer because we cannot hold on to it, the idea, the moment, the object etc,. There will be things you will not be able to get, and you will suffer because of it too! Forgetting what happened the last time, every time. So it is impossible to know what is coming, or what is what is certainly the result going to be like. Technically, materialistically, yes. Our own feelings and energy, no. It is always the now which brings the undoubted joy. Feeling the joy of the present moment, will give you more energy to live a passionate life. To enjoy every sensation you come across. Every shape. Every sound, touch, smell and feeling. As long as you remain detached from them, you will be in now, and joyful of everything changing. Living the life passionately while remaining detached, will make the biggest impact, on you, your close ones, and humanity. Things made during such a state are never ignored by people. They vibrate with something which resonated on the same frequency as life. But beware! This is not better than any other way of living. You will never be better than anybody else. The same way, you will never be less than anybody else. All of this is NOT about perfection, or victory, or invulnerability. Is is about absolute vulnerability. That is the true courage of living. This is not about stupid decisions! So don't try to fight 10 boys in order to prove you are absolutely vulnerable! You will just get beaten up. This is about your 'inside'. It is about here, and here, and here. Inside. Remember it."
Silence followed, it seemed unnatural after the long discourse the old men presented to John. The boy sat on the edge of his chair, with eyes still wide open, ready to jump and laugh. All of these ideas went into him and disappeared. Not leaving a single trace of confusion or doubt. John was really listening. He was not distracted by concepts, ideas and arguments. He did not form an answer, as to agree or disagree. He felt his uncles' discourse from within. It vibrated in his body. It came, and went. John joyfully smiled at the old men. He received a wide smile back. "You little brat!" laughed the old men". You are too young to understand! Too innocent to forget how it is to be living with angst, anxiety, grief and bitterness. I am jealous of you my dearest boy! Enough of my blabbering! Now go off! Go play with your friends and enjoy it all!"
The boy gave a short laugh grinning, and jumped of his seat. After picking up his jacket, he started walking towards the door.
"John."
The boy turned.
"One last thing I want to tell you. The ones who are hardest to love, need it the most. Don't forget that" the old man smiled.
"I won't!" John ecstatically said and left through the old heavy wooden doors.

Mozda
He was walking down the busy main street. As the evening came the street lamps went on, and the whole street had a radiant yellowish feel. People were walking in groups, more often than not, girls all dressed up and guys with their eyes on the quick lay. The whole atmosphere reeked of sexual tension, or maybe it was just him projecting it. But one could not not notice all the testosterone staring around.

[words]Understanding
Your understanding is your understanding. Your interpretation is your interpretation. You will look from your angle. Whatsoever you hear is your interpretation, always remember. Beware of it! It is not what I have said, it is what you have thought that you have heard - and they are not the same things. You agree with your own echo, you don't agree with me. You agree with your own idea. Then how can you change? The idea is yours, the agreement is yours, so there is no possibility of change. You please stop agreeing, disagreeing. You just listen to me. Your method of agreement may be a sort of trick to protect yourself, so that you don't get the shock. It functions like a buffer. I say something, you agree immediately - the shock is avoided. If you were not agreeing with me it may have shocked you to your very roots, it may have shaken you to your very guts. I say something, you say, "Yes, I agree." With this agreement you cut off. Now there is no need to be shocked: you agree. If you were not agreeing or disagreeing.... It is the same thing with disagreement. The moment I say something and there is somebody who says, "I don't agree," he has cut the energy. Now the energy will not go into his roots and will not shake him. We have created so many buffers around ourselves, protections. These protections will not allow you to change. To change, you will need to be shocked - shocked tremendously, terribly. It is going to be painful: transformation is going to be painful. Agreement is very comfortable, so is disagreement. I don't make much difference between agreement and disagreement; they are two aspects of the same coin. The real person who wants to be near me and close to me, who wants to be really in contact with me, will not agree, will not disagree. He will simply listen to me - pure listening, absolutely pure listening, with no interpretation. He will put himself aside. He will give me way.

thinking while listening.
¬
Listening with absolute openness means being that we are fully receptive to what another person says, without interrupting or formulating mental responses while the other person is talking. This includes suspending natural tendencies to “react” or hastily “interpret” whenever we feel under attack.
What we often assume as an attack is nothing more than a habitual assumption. By listening fully and defencelessly, we start to hear what others are trying to communicate. This is a vital part of discovering what the situation is really all about. And unless we are clear on this, we never find new knowledge that truly resolves the situation.¬

If something was to attain perfection, time was to stop, so it could be preserved.
"Imagine" that time is not a stable, firm, definite linear thing that goes forward.
"Imagine" that time is also a chaotic creation, every moment, every quantum.
When you create something, you try to define yourself, your life.
your habits, thoughts, emotions, wishes and fears.
you try. You try to capture it.
but it can never be completely captured.
it always gets away. There is always something which stays free, hidden.
All the efforts, all the products, are not important.
It is the creation that is.
It is... joyful, nothing else can imitate the feeling.
But to hold on it, will never be beautiful.
To hold on to it.
You stop the process of creation, movement.. life.
So we always continue to search for a better definition. For a better expression.
For a better ways, and results. For an ideal of creating perfection.
And in this creative search,
we continue looking.
Walking the path,
and looking,breathlessly,looking.

afternoon
Tied to the curtains which hide my heart.
Closed, while I wait for the show to start
morning
I sit there, small, with an open eye,
for u, who passes, and gives me a smile,
Sadness in ur eyes,and a cold smile.
A little yellow bird, sang me a lullaby
So i wouldnt cry, so inside i wouldnt die
In a world if lie, i built towers and castles,
Lonely i have hidden in their madness
And they ate me up
And again, i need you like heroin,
To jack ur love in, and make my need still,
Sea is there, blue in agony,
U are next to me, i am sad and lonely.
U see it but u cant reach me,
Our walls we built have their own I.
They scare us, and u cannot touch me
With a broken look, and windy stare,
I stare at the sea,
I cannot bend the walls,
I cannot mend this hearth
Now i reminiscense, and find tears.
The need wont die. I finally hear my screams.
Break the cold towers, walls, the shiny all important
.
The smell of tears. Slay the giant. And find peace.
