Since ages, we're trying to defy human conditions in all its variables.
This means, in substance, that our ego doesn't allow us to simply stay put.
So probably there's some kind of balance condition where we need solve and overcome certain obstacles. (being that, physical, emotional or sociological)
At the end people are what they are, there no big surprises if an atitude comes out from the blue,
because there's always the human condition escape goat.
"And what about the rulles of society ?"
And what about the jungle rules? wich one prevails over a persons head?;
Could we be so selfish to impose everyones a "Human Condition " hence behaviour pattern?
It looks like there are lots of people that want to follow that imposed fashioned vision;
And what would be the truth of it and who owns it?
Perhaps world is distracted but we are all rats in big cage.... that decreases its size every day.
Wonder if there's a mystery in life.
There are so many secrets, shadows, unknown roads;
Some riddles defy our imagination, put us even over the edge of it.
Lately seems that there's a trend to what i consider a lack of imagination hence a lack of mystery;
Suddenly everyone's knows everything (which in my point of view, it could be good for the society's awareness point of view ) ....like knowing the shape, color, smell and even flavor of an Apple, does it define what can possibly be done with it?
There's a trend for mass consumption for stupidity, and a convergence for the "equal", yes being Global is just like this; Its a "new" dictatorial paradigm, controlled by intermedia (internet + media), pushed my marketing means right into the citizens eyes.
So being original and creative means necessarily what ?- if it mostly depends on the citizens aspirations, requirements and they're all seem to want the same?
Don't have an objective answer for it, because democracy reveals during the times by so many ways....ah ah ah: Global democracy limits seem to be dictated by citizens which by the way make them arrested!
Nowadays, there is so much info that easily anyone gets puzzled, or with at least a doubtless opinion :)
so many information sources, so many opinion makers, so many words.....and what about its speed, range, subjects ...arghhhh
Its really insane, trying to understand what is really going on; One says one thing, the other say other. One know that is a ruthless batlle to take a side on the way.
Lets take Siria.... how ,much of the recent images are propaganda? but i'm not a journalist, nor an influent person that should get news first.
Fake images, videos, politicians...etc
So, information is the set of logic facts that have really ocurred within a context. Most of the times there are different pillar power that lead the info to take personal advantages.
i have 2 metaphors for these freak show...
one is sex; like (possibly) a sex addicted person , you just can't get enough of it (either imposed by the marketing means, or by exacerbated self awareness/ consciousness)
the other one
as fire works....almost everyone likes to look the sky to the color pallete;
just don't try to pick up the canes while they still launching them.
2- "leaders wanted"
There isn't really an inspiring leader, that has the rhetoric and guts to face worlds convulsions;
3-"services vs production"
lots of new generation citizens aren't prepared to engage in productive companies, the labor force is weakened in such skills, or transferred to cheap labor regions (the emerging countries usually...).
4-"lets go public"
a) Privatize as much as the markets demand, has been the destruction of powerful industries, Europe can't depend so much on faceless markets;
b) Markets want profits , efficiency and returns (as it any companies should);
c)Buy (with huge loans) in "hope" to get more efficiency and to reduce the user payed goods, i.e. cheaper labor hand, very flexible laws and rules.... ( no or small investment in R&D to do this); d)If consumption decreases, there goes the cuts in HR, layoffs, or bankruptcy; Markets are like parasites... has long there are hosts to live from..... financial products like futures are mostly intangible ... there's no future without a sustained present....
5-"tax payers vs citizens"
in order to face management errors, like huge money throw away to construction (essentially by buildings that have no return, social, cultural, commercial i.e. the so called public investment), the final invoice is addressed to citizens as taxes, hence they refrain their consumption which take us to my last point 4d)
6-"the paradise is a mirage "
corruption is the pinnacle of promiscuous relationships; Unfortunately is installed, even the so called strong democracies have it (lobbying is also on the edge of it); At first were more prone the fragile societies that accepted all kinds of kicks in order to obtain their e.g. dictator huge profits. Now its all over....industry, sports, governments, health, banking.... you name it. So, this distribution of wealth is just as wrong as unfair, but markets willingly accepted..... because they get faster to their goals.
SOLUTIONS for the 6
1-The name: EUROPE FEDERATION
2-The leader: Don't care if is #Hollande, #Merkel, #CR7 #DavidBeckam or #Berlusconi; There must be one voice inside EU (fiscal, economic, defense, health, education), a president that has the power to decide upon democratic rules approved in the parliament; NO bilateral agreements; 1 Spoken Language, don't care if is portuguese, german, english or esperanto.... (ok Mr #Junker?)
3- Educate to prosper, in the middle ages people were denied information; Now "they" spill trash info, or wrong one; Industry skills must be emphasized and payed in a fair sustained fashion.
4-No longer wild carded Market dependencies, this is a philosophic choice and political; Citizen must be the focus; "Yes, but the citizens" , instead of "Yes but the markets"; Unbalanced market the drive citizens to nowhere isn't Capitalism is an outlaw jungle,
5- Governments should be responsible for their acts in the shape of a federation or not; The supposed scrutiny done to the program should be consequent specially in what comes to expenditure, so it would have a more serious commitment of the elected MPs.
6- Values change enforcement, there must be a rigorous preventive measures to avoid corruption; i've a got a basic theory for it... "if your cat is fed, there's no need to climb the table".... Companies should have a compulsory fund (that would be financed by an existent tax .... such as profit, that by one side it would work as an insurance and/or could be used for direct (but supervised) investment in tech development, R&D and Intellectual property, or employees training; Governors shouldn't be allowed to have conflictual double interests, such as lawyers societies and MPs; Power to empowered: no such shadow organizations masonry, opus dei, Illuminati, mafia, etc should influence strategy plans of an institution/ country... could there be a defense program for that?
would these be enough? no.... but it should be a start.
please Mr/ Mrs Europe solve the case of refugees is such a shame and is a reflection of passivity due to bad leadership.
Talking =/ Acting. (in this isolated subject, take some lessons from #Putin)
this geopolitical warfare makes me sick; these institutions have no power to lead
a true citizen protection. Anyone who assists TV news, can be easily puzzled,
either on trying to understand motivations as for the results.
Regarding Syria, I don't know nothing of religion, but it has nothing to do
with it... at the end is just power..... Iran treat it as if it were a Shiite colony ,while
taking the President an "hostage"; Syrian President wants to get reed of its opposition,
i.e Sunnis, Alawites (which for Iran is a plus); Putin is taking its opportunity to justify
and show that is a problem solver (though taking part on Assad while selling both sides weapons), and how he could be seen in Crimea, and that he is a belligerent with means (power show),
and for it he would want for instance a step-down in west sanctions
Is West playing?
yes... but Obama is a Nobel prize.... so is war refrained. EU as an whole doenst take bold and fast decisions, UN and OTAN ... hostages of its own members.
I must confess that the price and results of not having
strategic preventive peaceful war (if such exists) can result in
deadly dangerous wars in the mean - long term.
Are you looking for the pearl in your life? Are you sure you know what to do with it?
well most people guess they don't; but they were not taught to, so whats in it to blame?
if we are just chemistry reaction, we can't blame ourselves for nothing, synapses are different from each brain. If we are a reaction of our environment, then our environment is sick; We can measure and analyse life from different angles, but that shouldn't serve us as an excuse to don't balance nor getting proper global answers that fits us all as (at least) human beings.
Careful with what you wish for.
(recommend easy to read the Pearl from Nobel Prize John Steinbeck)
Is such an hypocrisy, what is happening in the world: lets take these latest refugees scenario; there should be a strong unison voice (at least from Europe), that would allow by one side help migrants despair, and the other to maintain peace, democratic values and overall countries sustainability. This is happening and ignoring it, won't solve the present issues and future unbalance problems. Of course no one want's its economical or social situation being damaged by unsolved foreign problems, of curse no one wants terrorism enter in their homes, of course anyone wants the sense of security with its rights (and duty's) kept..... but, are we not living in the same planet? Leaders and citizens have simultaneously the responsibility to search for solutions and to show what anyone's true desires are.
Anyway... first things first, when international institutions and countries have the political and economical will, preserving the citizen /human being requirements and hence rights, then the root of the question will start to get an answer, but time is getting consumed; Doing nothing and let each of the countries solve these problems by themselves, surely will not be an answer.
Which weight should be given priority to, in order to develop some more balanced strategy?
(yes... still on Europe with Greek focus matter).
I mean, by one side there are hidden agendas ( not talking about conspiracy whatsoever! , mainly greed as key motivation) institutions, bureaucracy, agreements etc, by the other (perhaps) ideals, political agendas.... in the middle citizens. If there's some sort of communication problem, its urgent to keep talking preferentially with a genuine translator, with no preconceived ideas (if its possible)
Poor you, if you are lack of ideas and ideals.... but poorer if you have put trust in bad leaders.
Mental note ... to remind myself that easter, should be a time for reflection and refrain consumption voracity.... we really can't tell what is beneath our skin until we get to the next layer.... at this onion peeling like lifetime, where each layer is taken faster than the previous, there's seems to be an amorphous rules set for humans, that more than ever, doesn't seem to fit or adapt easily to person mundane needs. Being or remaining original not easy due to constant marketing bombing (almost) all over; Just get real.
As Aristoteles foresighted, in my personal point of view, and as a conclusion, all citizens should have, by default, an highly degree of freedom and for that should be responsible and their leaders as well. The problem is that we can't have unbalanced weights in the same scale. Lets take tyranny forms/shapes in any way, mostly have resulted in decayed societies; Even the greatest empires didn't last, because at some point someone lost their focus on what was essential at that time, being that efforts on technology development, army defense, or leisure. Whats the point of having power in the hands if that sames hands are full of dirt and disrespect for the basics.
I don't believe in fairy tales, but todays disproportions can only bring suffering (.... ) Drucker (management consultant) seen it in the industry context, where he discoursed about the huge salary gaps between workers at a same organization in the XX century, that would undermine the path of such unit and hence, globally, societies. ( and this just one bit of an issue....)
So what could be done? How to teach someone to refrain its power and greed desires, if even the controlling institutions can't assume their role and mostly have doubtful and promiscuous relations with their pairs. By the way, what is a modern society? Where do go democracies? Are citizens aware enough to get empowered to be heard?
Even the great leader and visionary has to be humble to see by the citizens eyes.
New changes on the way, as new thinkers get inpowered. (lets take Greek example)
What is the meaning of such changes? what will this bring to people?
I really don't have a formed opinion about Syriza (far left wing greek party); for what
i've seen in the news, i'm not very keen on someone that promises to break international
commitments.
One could question if present economy models are society/state sustainable,
or deeper, if markets should control much of societies (this is just a personal conviction) .... but...
couldn't there be some new good ideas to make persons independent of such exploiters?
My true billion dollar question would be "what would be a credible alternative, that could develop economy without jeopardizing people's wishes and requirements?" - well, this would demand at least an honest answer.
I believe that this will have repercussions on EU countries, some early followers will have their chance to call themselves to the process where some populism will prevail, nevertheless of the major buzzwords they have.
Austerity has many faces.... if by one side there are public/private overweight on spending, over credit, by the other controlling institutions, markets, banks and other .... let this happen and it was under the legal umbrella. This promiscuous relation between give and take should be balanced ....
Well mentalities have to change....current rules are not enough and sin for being arrested by old fashioned models.
I vote favourably for economic development to achieve peoples wishes (general growth, better wages, employment, education, healthcare, protection to unprotected elderly, children and disabled), but no citizen should be arrested for its supposed good demands.
Watching the overall scene and north european countries behaviour.... more then ever EU will have the Portuguese meaning of "I", the selfish optic side of the europeans.... which in fact is the opposite of what the European project should be..... as i've said before true leaders wanted.....badly!
