WHAT LIES BEHIND THE CLOUD

Every end of day should be inspiring, this one reminds (perhaps) that there's always an waiting sun that can overcome any obstacles and is ready to find every one in that momment or on another day. In one word there can always be HOPE no matter what.

FLOWER

I posted this photo because i've found it side by side an ordinary other flower.... since i've got a limited biology or gardening  knowledge, i'll need someonelse's help in order to discover what flower is this about?
Also idecided to write something about it;

Sometimes a creation coming out of the blue can bloom and you can't recognize it, so will it depend on our knowledge or on our attention to see it coming? The creation can happen randomly, nature impulsed and we should apreciate it when it is a really meaningful or can inspire us to do new things. World needs new things...probably they are already here side by side something ordinary.

THE INSIDE OUT

This picture was taken at north of Portugal at a beach bar in Furadouro - Ovar city.  Door and windows are very meaningful, they are for entry and exit  (yeah...wow...!) . Entry and exits are like our possibilities at our decisions making process, maybe they can help us to get some extra air....or to take a sneak, sometimes. Its our human behave that made us curious about what is behind some door (about something) but after you enter a door that action is done, so you have to live with the consequences of your actions..... world will never gonna be the same then.

LEADERSHIP Vs LEADER CHEAP

Thats where we should be in to: a ship ruled by real leaders.
In fact i think there's lot of people lacking references of true motivation and inspiring persons;
(but there surely are a bunch examples...not perfect persons but inspired ones that could and can turn world a better place e.g. aristoteles, magellean, leonard da vinci, mozart, damásio, bill gates, steve jobs, mother teresa of calcuta, phelps...but you wouldnt have to go so far, maybe your father, or your sons are inspiring models)

Once, there was a teacher that told me "first you have to get your house cleaned....." this observation was regarding innovation inside companies.

So how to get the world cleaned? can we divide the problems to simple solvable things and improve for the best of each one of us? Because, i'm certain that almost everyone of us has a special gift that could be worth to enhance and share, and from the diversity of the "best" there would be better solutions to society.

The way i see it It could be done with education driver reinforcement, an education person gets more clarified and aware. This awareness is a starting point for questioning, and from the questioning and discussion answers should be put in place.

For the world get cleaned, such awareness should be balanced fashioned, meaning more equity and less distant gaps.

THE PASSENGER X - tribute to my missed loved father

(....) from PASSENGER IX
Now we'll rest a bit - observed the Owl looking backwards while walking down the hill watching the fading image of the standing Trees.
(to be continued)

Here and there the Owl and the Passenger returned to their so much loved trees, seeing their strong tree trunks and splendorous leafs and flowers, that so much times took their strengths up to exhaustion.

The Passenger pointed out that the bears and other animals were always taking advantage of the trees to fed themselves  so sometimes some of them took some fresh flours or leafs, and even to use it as they wanted to; But, the Owl seemed that wasn't so much worried because he could see the trees stifness and resilience at weather or nature conditions, so his experiece was telling him that  those were just mere natural conditions. Their team attention kept them looking for every single detail of the trees and their surrouding environment. After sometime Wolves and Bears start to approach around and made them nervous. Although the sun could be seen through the tall trees and the fresh sense of blooming nature, there was some tention in the air... Hunger was felt at the Wolves and Bear eyes . The Owl and Passenger feared for their achievements.... so they wispered each other for a brief discussion and realized for themselves that would be enough if they just stood there watching for their trees. So the beasts approached  and started small talk with the trees...
"Nice leafs you have there....." - said the Bear . "And what gorgeous flowers" emphasized the Wolf; The Bear and Wolf look each other and the Wolf continued - " we have some flowers of our own you want to see them?" - asked the Wolf showing some brilliant things with heavly perfume....

ABOUT NOBEL PRIZE

friday, october 9th 2009  -  wrote this some years ago to another blog.....

PAZ: Oba!

Muito se tem falado nas virtudes do Presidente Obama. De facto os holofotes estão-lhe tão direccionados que o podem ofuscar. Meio mundo olha para os EUA como uma espécie de guia económico quase como a aguardar o passo seguinte para que decisões estratégicas se tomem; Será um pouco de exagero deixar que uma só nação tome conta do mundo e aliás nestas alturas os EUA querem mesmo aliados (alguém tem de pagar as contas de exércitos privados e de créditos irracionais...) essa factura pesada está ancorar a actividade dos EUA e as pessoas começam a descrer e a ganhar anticorpos salvaguardando-se como podem (ou seja compram menos). Os lobbys sempre farão parte da actividade politica, mas o que o Obama sabia que iria encontrar era uma máquina infernal de lobbying quase impossivel de transpôr; As suas promessas poderão cair por terra sendo que as contas são tantas que talvez as externas, a serem prioritárias, podem-se sobrepor às afamadas healthcare measures e estas nunca passarem de uma miragem. Logicamente que a sua (de Obama) imagem internacional terá um peso decisivo no apoio às tomadas de decisão dificeis (como a gestão de guerras e armamento) e um prémio Nobel é sempre de salientar. Mas sinceramente há 1,5 ano atrás "ninguém" sabia quem era este presidente e o que atrás dessa altura foi feito em prol da dita PAZ. Paz tem um significado único.

Sinceramente espero que esse titulo atribuido seja acompanhado de actos que ultrapassem as expectativas...... do mundo!

PEACE: Oba!

Much has been said in the virtues of President Obama. In fact the spotlight is directed him so that can overshadow. Half the world looks to the U.S. as a kind of guide economic almost like waiting for the next step so that strategic decisions are taken, will be a bit of an exaggeration let one nation to take over the world and indeed in these times even the U.S. wants allies (someone has to pay the bills of private armies and credits irrational ...) this bill is heavy anchor U.S. activity and people start to disbelieve and make antibodies safeguarding as they can (ie buy less). The lobbies will always be part of political activity, but what Obama knew he would find was an infernal machine lobbying almost impossible to bridge; Their promises may fall down and the accounts are so many that perhaps external, to be priority may overlap the renowned healthcare Measures and these never pass a mirage. Logically that his (Obama's) international image will have a decisive weight in supporting decision making difficult (as managing wars and weaponry) and Nobel Prize is always noteworthy. But honestly there 1.5 years ago "no one" knew who was behind this president and what that time was made in favor of that PEACE. Peace has a unique meaning.

Sincerely hope that this title is attributed accompanied by acts that exceed expectations ......of the whole world!

OUT OF THE NET

Net free old lady

This old lady refused to be photographed for my camera; i guess she won't see it either in my blog or facebook... but i can't really blame her since the image quality is not what the model deserve, the intention counts!!!

YOU ROCK...

You Rock may Roll

This has been taken during a hiking and is a piece of a a wall , and it occurred me 2 things....
1st: was that in the ancient days there were stifness enough to build difficult structures manually and no one complain about it.......
2nd: we are all rocks in a wall, if we don't stay strong together we might roll..... yep : rock and roll!

CREATION

People should be more creative,
creativness is one of our human main core characteristics,
so why not to use it? (at least make things diferent or with different approaches)
Sure if one have no bread at the table to eat,
how creativity would help, in economic point of view?

Lets start from the begining where as we should get proper education,
and context conditions (this means that the environment that surround us
will surelly influence during our lives).

Having that said, i think that should be governments responsibility
to promote society through educational programs...of course that all
implies money (resources).
Education will open consciousness and than after critical espirit....hence
people will question themselves, and from that questioning will result
more society intervention and also awareness for problems and other;

For instance ancient Greece has returned more open thinking with its favourable environment conditions (they had power/ strong army) and through power got knowledge
and through knowledge and stability.... arts, leisure,
new democracy basis (still addopted nowdays).

My end question (perhaps) would be like this:
since politicians can change the world (with all parallel questions of course!!) and are a privileged class (i.e. they have stability and a proper environment), why don't they use their
favourable context to be more creative and really do what they should... which in my opinion is taking care of their citizens and at present with a global view???

The Tree

The Tree

This Tree was caught up at the edge of a countryside road; maybe defying the other that are in front....or perhaps calling the other to join her, in such quietness...or even maybe waiting a right time for something to happen.

FEELING TIRED

This picture deserves a bit of a story.... In a brief  this was taken some years ago with my 3 MP web cam (so much for the quality thing, and wiring, anthenas....)  in an isolated Portuguese (i will get back later to the location ...'cause i cant remember now ) village, eventhough it shows a lot. In this sort of villages (comon in non urban Portugal: mostly northeast and southeast) it is usual to eldery people to be, during shiny days, at the doors of their homes, to get warm, to think, chat and observe the other or everything combined . But what was this particular man doing? He was seated down near that small chapel... waiting for the priest? Perhaps just a devoted person who thought to be closer to his beliefs...chapels guardian...?! could carry a secret... or better a good story: but i didn't ask him unfortunetly. Perhaps he was fed up being home alone waiting for their children that emigrated to come back safe and sound; so he prayed while chapel was closed ...and got warmed .... tired he fell in sleep dreaming .

THE NEED

We all need each other

RAW

WAY

 

The Submerging Countries : All

What has history taught us up to now, regarding evolution?

Are we prone to follow the easy stuff, are we soulless spirits that can't see beyond consumption?
same tastes, same colours, same sounds, same patterns...same society....is that what are we leading at, our supposed evolution? Is there some sort of shell/ umbrella where peolple want to be controled?

I guess i know what AI (artificial inteligence) really means... we are organic robots;

THE PASSENGER IX - tribute to my missed loved father

 Localy they could ear murmuring "what a perfume ..." " is it ok for them having here that plants" all sort of questions were made.... (to be continued)

Eventhough there were lots of comments by the bears and even other like cats and dogs, the two friends were more concerned on how to get through  the mission of taking a real good care of  the seeds, yet turned glamorous young Trees.

Every day water and heavy rains, sun and fog, wind and storm, nutrured that nature miracle, so both of the friends did everything they could possible do to protect and care. In the overpass of something difficult, had long conversations about what would be the next expectable thing and always realized the time shortness.
- .... and if there's a bear attack? -  feared the Owl.
- One day probably will happen, but the Trees will be stronger and prepared for Bears  and other... calmed down the Passenger looking straight to Owl hudge eyes - maybe its time for us to leave and see for ourselves the results;
The Bears and the rest of the people observed and comment....observed and comment, whisper, conspired.

So they did. Tired but happy with the so far results, they felt the sense of mission accomplishement,
They took of the fence and stand in front of the Trees a slight breeze came down and with it the usual perfume of the Tree's leafs and now flours.

Now we'll rest a bit - observed the Owl looking backwards while walking down the hill watching the fading image of the standing Trees.
(to be continued)

THE PASSENGER VIII - tribute to my missed loved father

Consistently and firmly were always watching for their precious seeds, that so carefully found during their journey. (to be continued)
So they travelled, carrying out their own packs and seeds without noticing the hours the days passing by; Here and then they stopped to rest, or take a breake and talked about the place where to dibble the seeds... The two friends have spoted an elevated place where they thought to be a good one for the seeds to grow and bloom. "I'll stay here for a while; what do you think about it?" - inquired the traveller to the Owl. "Sure, it seems a nice and peacefull place " agreed the Owl. Every day watered the seeds that. Not an easy task ... there was no track in the way, so day did have build it for themselves. " Hey what are you doing ? " said a Big Bear during one of the journeys to get the water to the seeds. "We're just taking some water to our place" - said the traveller - "do you want to help" ?
Not quite... i'm here to warn you that is not a place for you, that's a place for Big Bears like me and other likewise.
The traveller listen and explained the Owl what has been told. So they thought they were there for a while, and putted so much efforts on their mission that wouldnt be worth and reasonable to take the Big Bear seriously although they worried and preventivly built a fence... just in case.
Now every day also, a group of Big Bears stood watching traveler and owl's moves.
The seeds soon turned up to be plants with leaves exalating a perfume that caught everyone's attention. Localy they could ear murmuring "what a perfume ..." " is it ok for them having here that plants" all sort of questions were made.... (to be continued)

THE PASSENGER VII - tribute to my missed loved father

So he stood staring at the horizon to the infinit.... got his packs done and headed to nowhere.
His packs were really heavy , but eventhough he knew that he had a way to go, and so kept focus on the path. Suddenly at dawn of the day, he noticed a Owl smilling at him. The Owl was staying over a bush. "Why are you smilling?" asked the surprised Passenger. "You look like have done a long journey..... " observed the white shiny Owl with a smooth yet embareced voice - "I'm smiling because i'll follow you all along". "I was thinking exacly the same!" - thought the passenger. Both, in silence, urged into the woods, but with the certain of a good journey.

The woods seem somehow dangerous, but they embraced the path always having in mind that was their mission, and imagining that the purpose was much beyond their personal beliefs.

Meanwhile they discovered some wonderful seeds that were being sold by the road from an ancient.
Those seemed wonderful as both agreed, and as the ancient advised them to take a good care of it with some profound hoarse voice.

 Consistently and firmly were always watching for their precious seeds, that so carefully found during their journey.  (to be continued)

Pequeno contributo para o dia mundial da poesia / poetry day small contribute:

 
Secret
Where are my hands,
Which I raised to the sky?
Where's my own sin
... Which I sang on my cry?

Sometimes I dream.
And even on my dreams
Its foggy like steam.
To me, what does it seem?

I defeat the velvet skin
Into the floor,
Where bodies spin,
Where secrets die,
Where bodies have been...
Where corps lay,
Where lines are thin…

RONALDO CR7 Best Soccer Player EVER - Portuguese Pride

 

Here´s my tribute to what I think to be the best football/ soccer player ever.

Thanks Ronaldo CR7. Good Luck

 



THE PASSENGER VI

Nevertheless, convinced of the sound, he took a good look outside and almost desperad searching for a soul in that dark blue and cold night, slashed by the white ray light. I'm here - a voice emerged - you can't see me...

-Who are you? - asked the passenger with a kind of fear unveiled by his green eyes...

-I'm just a ray of light...here and then I appear, here and then i wait, here and then i fear, here and then.., here and then.., where were you last night? I've been here, didn't saw you, didn't felt your fear. Here and then i wait, here and then i 'm a tear .

Sometimes I whisper sometimes I shout, Sometimes i heal your blister, sometimes can't figure what is this all about. I'm just a ray of light...sometimes i travel in someoneleses fight.... i'm just a ray of light.

The passenger noticed the thin ray everywhere after all, so he came outside with caution, but willingly surprised, it was cold for a minute, then it stood warm, and the passenger smiled to the ray of light. He said - Please hold on, i'll pack my stuff, and meet you here again, ok? Is just a second.

As fast as he could he grabed his things and went outside again.

The ray of light was gone. It was cold again. The passenger stood looking the horizon, nothing could be heard.

EUROPEs FAuLLt

My euro (sorry its not mine...anyway is whom?) as gone.
So what to do now?
Enjoy your everyday day living, if it felt pleasurous
or don't do nothing and also enjoy the show.

Start thinking what you really believe, and who you really are, and what your journey is all about....
Still the questioning : why?
Why humans submit themselves to their carving knives?

One (EUROPE)

It is incredible and really unbelieveble, how european union isn't hable to ennance its major key points, and with it reinforce its leaders/ leadership and hence its own people. My point of view is that european union as forgoten its name: "union" , and there are no unreplaceble persons that could make the difference from the rest of the world. There's no doubt that Germany plays a key role in whole scenario and how Europe will develop its own political agenda, but Europe isn't Germany. Europe is a gathering of multiplicities as society, culture, inovation & d, unfortunetly lack of values (egocentrism mainly) its an worldwide side effect, wich everyone takes part of. Anyway, my point is that Europe will not stand and last, if doesn't change its global strategic policy, so the only way i see it will be the Federal regime constitution or will have cyclicly the same problems knocking on the door. How to make a general concensus around euro crisis ?strong leadership with an epic strategic view (someone should have the guts) would definetly be a turnkey to move forward and fast otherwise its will be always dry wood measures to increase the fire.

En verdad

En verdad el mundo se queda siempre mas pequeño, pero al mismo tiempo mas distante y porque?
son tantas las barreras que hicimos y todavia es mucho mejor vivir sin ellas. qual es el desarrollo que intentamos? Nos hemos quedado en el tiempo de los primeros "FILIPES"? es decir, hagaremos todo por interes? A las veces me pongo a pensar si las estupidez humana iba a confrontarse al espejo decindo: "te conozco, pero, no me gustas nada!"....

The Passenger V

 

The time crossed as gently as it could, down that rocky landscape, where the Night just let our traveler sleep. His dreams were driven by and between stormy and tumultuous events, mountains to climb, rivers to pass, and rain, lots of it, here and then a glance of sun ray, his body lied down like if it was part of the earth, restless, fighting against the Dawn that soon whispered Night to leave. And so it did. “Come out and play” – echoed a voice in that cave. At first he thought that his dreams were becoming reality, as the voice sounded clearer, he thought not wake up, “what for, what’s outside waiting for? Is it worth? maybe there are some other dreams that I should wait for.” But the voice continued and was impossible to ignore so much echoes , so he opened his eyes and looked the small hole at the very beginning of the cave…. there was a bright white light coming, impossible to notice any silhouette, so he shouted confused “Who’s there, what do you want from me?”

The Right Fight

Hello world in every corner.

Suddenly and appearently there's a "new" fight europe/world order.

Lets take the last months short facts:

-BRIC supremacy

-Markets (down - sailing accordingly the winds );

-Bailouts;

-(sillent) Riots;

-Euro confusion and leadership weakness;

-Unemployment (youth they say... production or manufacturing out of ocidental countries);

In fact, a new mind revolution must and actually is taking place, the existing models weared out.

Which is the best or optimized solution? (shurely there are no magic wands);

Will we develop towards ancient solutions (dark ages???); are methaforically makerts the new barbarians? Are there some new concepts about what governance should be? IS someone addopting new measures to prevent a global underdevelopment? Do citizens really have power enough to decide governance models?

Since we went GLOBAL there are more risks and this jungle promises to be tougher through times; New aliances are about to come, some values should be taken; It is time!

Ich finde mich seher gut, weil mein Land ist wichtig und wächst ! (entschuldigung mein Deutsh ist schlecht)

I wonder if its a worldwide feeling or if is just my perception....does cynicism came here to stay?
Is this the ultimate pattern compolsory to live from? So tired and angry of the architected patterns that subtly are imposed;
So this is last democracy reductum... the freedom to dictate.
Is imagination lost for most, is there no new concept of living and "make things real work"- economy etc etc? Come on ! The good news are that iRenaissance must be near... Well, at least i'm trying to make things different, and feel great about it! (watch out for the newspapers tv etc they're mind inceptors. eh eh : )

O dia - The day

Somewhere in the 80's - South Europe
I remember the days being a hard pain to get over during elementary school, waiting for the interval ( recreational ) and go for to play with friends; Classes were semi harsh under the watchful eye of a professorship almost indifferent ( I say almost , because we had teachers more severe or more indifferent than other ) whose pedagogy was discriminatory for the weak. Saw some fellow hungry , tired with problems at home ( and difficult problems ) and for some reason could not learn .... and moreover had to reach out to the harsh rule (method at the time to teach ... a thick wood ruler beaten several times in the hands when for somehow you didnt know an answer or were distracted)  ...anyway,  I pitied them .
One of these passages , and difficult problems , i have recorded like this : well , I remember one colleague who along with his brothers and mother were beaten up and expelt from their home, which for a drunk moment their father would be recurrently experiencing . They were living under an awning ( plastic cover ) with a mattress that could be ssen from the school; was cold that day and my mother ( great woman ) did what it was usual  to her....to give a hand . She called them to our house , gave them clothes and fed them between the crying and embarrassed eyes of the young children , I looked and saw suspicious my classmate drinking the warm milk from my mug , which stupidly at that time I caused a lot of confusion ... I did not understand .



Decada de 80 - Sul da Europa
lembro o dia de ser uma verdadeira seca o passar do tempo na escola primária a aguardar que chegasse a hora do intervalo (recreio) e ir para uma brincadeira qualquer; As aulas eram semi rispidas sob o olhar atento de um professorado quase indiferente (eu digo quase, porque haviam professore/as mais severos ou mais indiferentes) cuja pedagogia era discriminatória para com os fracos. via alguns colegas com fome, cansados com problemas em casa (problemas bem dificeis) e que por algum motivo não conseguiam aprender .... e ainda por cima tinham de estender a mão à dura régua ... eu tinha pena deles.
Uma das passagens desses, problemas bem difíceis, ficou-me gravada: assim, recordo-me uma colega que juntamente com os irmãos e mãe foram espancados e expulsos de casa, que por um momento ébrio que aquele que dizia ser pai ia recorrentemente experimentando. Ficaram a viver debaixo de um toldo (capa de plastico) com um colchão que se via da escola; Estava frio nesse dia e a minha mãe (grande mulher) fez o que era habitual dela dar a mão. Chamou-os lá a casa, deu-lhes roupa e alimentou-os entre o choro e os olhos envergonhados dos mais pequenos; Eu olhava e via desconfiado a minha colega de escola a beber o leite quente da minha caneca, o que estupidamente naquela altura me causou muita confusão... eu não entendia.

under pressure question

phisically we are with 1 atm pressure, is this too much?
do people take and accept willingly all the oversized rush we're liven into?
does action needs a reaction? IF we consider pressure a trigger / action would there be an ignition/ reaction? Can societys live realy forever with a inccreasing state of pressure?
What would be the relief to reset the overcoming pressure?

Queen - under pressure

future

in the future there will be no pens...everyone will write in iSomething and other;
our cars will work by renovable energy; phones will be skin implanted, and so our IDs;
we'll be hable to comunicate without any physical support (i.e. pc or phone), we will have a universal standard language, people can be bought, nations, societys, societys (as i said before) can be directly ruled by Corps.; one's problems will affect faster and more people in every dimension or cause;

in the future people will true smile less.

Just "Milestoning"

Sorry to my blog billions of readers. In fact i haven't found any deep event that really got my attention...and also lack of time... So what has just happend in between? Well so much and nothing at the same time. World economys are more interdependent than ever . Money, money money makes the world go round ...this is so true, ancient and even out of style. I can't understand people behaviour. Lets take consumption as one of the adaptative, metamorphic evolutive ways to get self statisfaction. For instance this christmas some of the poorest countrys in UE have raised the volume of movements done in ATM (some aprox more 50 M€ than in 2009 - from 700 to 750 M€) , unemployment raised , bankrupcys raised.... eventhough there's money enough to get an average of 70€/ person in a 10 million people country. Thats unbelieveble! Credit, loans, rents (CLR) are the latest persons adiction..... can this be diagnosed some day as a desease ???

At the doctor:

DOC "-I'm sorry sir, i think you suffer from the contagious CLR"

PACIENT "- Me ? not me, i just have my car, house, dvd, hollidays and .............. (silence) .........Does it have a cure?"

DOC"-Well i would advise a trip to Mars, or any other born society, otherwise this will grow up indefinetly"

Be aware. Take your vaccines.

"Hey big spender...."

LIFE AS SURPRISE

Wonderfull.... market economy prooved to run world states; Finally i understand that nations and nowdays leaders are weak facing the power of markets institution; (oh, we are so human!) But who runs the market? Do you run market, do i run market, does societys rule market? In order to understand better this issue, i've searched for info about nations who haven't suffered yet by "global economy crisis".
Maybe the BRIC haven't, but they are generaly assimetric as a society, and their internal economy gives them sustainability to keep them on the way.
In the worst case scenario there's war to come, in the most optimistic scenario w'ill have 8 years of pain, sacrifice. (less consumption.... which is not bad for human beeing as an athomic unit since is lacking values...i suppose).
In the evolutive process there are basic things to survive such as an adaptative profile wich means accept or tranform your/ someonelse behaviour accordingly to the surrounding environment; else you can be institutionaly excluded. So where do we/I stand? I can't accept the fact of corruption be generaly accepted and practiced as an usual way to move economy.
How to finish or diminish it? How can values be transmitted if educated people are also corruptors? Another music to end this post:
"I can get no satisfaction...." - Rolling Stones

TIMES LIKE THIS

I wonder if nations one day could join efforts, for everyones sake, in order to get comon results.
Maybe its uthopic, maybe its asking too much....

We are driven by MARKETS and STOCK MARKETS????? come on! what is this? is there no respect for nothing?

I've seen in TV somewhere in Peru Amazonia, that a population (aprox 20 000 pp) there, is sustainable, live aside regular society and don't pay taxes hence probably it is free!
Of course there's lack of what we would consider the essential means and goods, and for myself i couldn't be there forever and doubt for more than 2 weeks.

But couldn't exist a balanced society, less egocentric, less speculative, less so many things????

i'm sad and tired!

we are prisioners of ourselves;
as an hope message, like in foofighters rock music band says " it is times like this we learn to live again".

What keep us moving

I was wondering what are the main issues that impell us going ahead and towards what...

-power (control and decide, domination)

-pleasure (sex.... sensitive emotions (touch, ear, see, smell, taste, perception)

-money ( exchange, to buy, buy and buy)

could these, make civilizations fall, even implode? By history many societys have fall and raise based on essencially on a mix of such described points.

No tiranic, no oligarchic, theocratic, not even democratic societys have last forever; So how long could we expect that our societys ("western " ones) last? Babylons, Greeks, Lacedemonees, Romans, Egiptians, Maya with such a "balanced vision" haven't been hable to sustain their own people, invaders etc.

So my point is, since we are living in a such a speed of light, i expect that our societys, the way they are established, be conducted to an end (for instance a multinational company could buy a country because of its debt? could a country finance another and receive that territory as payment of a debt?)

We are movers...so we keep moving!

Portuguese: a tremendous heritage

Não há dúvida sobre a importância da comnicação ;Embora os nossos computadores sejam mais rápidos e os softwares sejam mais eficientes do que nunca, não poderemos nunca sobrestimar o poder de uma língua, não só enquanto informação objetiva, mas também enquanto percepção emocional; Como eu dizia anteriormente, um computador pode de facto fazer este "trabalho" por nós (tradutores e leitores digitais) mas naturalmente sem o mesmo resultado; Eu admiro-me que 204 milhões de almas falem a mesma língua e que provavelmente consigam transmitir as mesmas emoções pela sua língua que é a 6ª língua mais falada no mundo; Mas enquanto língua estrangeira estamos longe do francês e inglês; Naturalmente que o Brasil tem aqui um papel decisivo do futuro da mesma! (94% da população mundial que fala português é do Brasil!) As equipes multidisciplinares (cultural, o esporte, cientifico, o negócio, ong etc.) devem estar coordenadas para estender e realçar esta herança. Quanto à beleza da própria língua (a pergunta seria: a minha língua é sexy?), bem penso que sempre dependerá do emissor da mensagem, do seu tom, variáveis ligadas e que referencias emocionais temos de tal língua. Portanto eu poderia ouvir uma lingua como o Farsi/Persian e gostar.Independentemente de tudo, isto será como o consumo: quanto mais compramos de um determinado país, mais obrigados seremos a absorver a sua cultura e inevitavelmente a sua lingua.

There's no doubt about the importance of comunication;

Although our computers are faster and software aplications are more eficient than never

one can never understimate the power of a language, in order to get not only objective

information, but also emotional perception; As i was saying before a computer can actually

do this job for us (translators and digital readers) but of course we can't get the same result;

I was wondering that 204 Million souls speak the same language and most likely that can transmit same emotions through their language as the 6th spoken language in ther world;

But as a foreing language we are far away from French and English; Of course Brasil

has here a tremendous role for the future! Multidisciplinary teams (cultural, sport, cientific, business, ong etc) should be arranged in order to spread and enhance this heritage.

As for the beauty of the language itself (the question would be is my language sexy?) , well i think it will always depend on the messenger tone and all the variables linked to, what emotive references do we have from it. So i could hear Farsi/Persian and like it anyway. Nevertheless this is like consumption: the more we buy from a certain country, more andatory will be its cultural influence hence its invitable language.

SOCIETY XXI

Happy new terrestrial year for everyone!
I was about going to sleep, when, after some web crawling (news actually)
i gave myself thinking why do evolute always towards self satisfaction and need/desire (basic instincts...). Biologically, technologically either (..)etc. we've always got our evolution balance through that terms. Its fair also to consider that if we did evolute in such terms, so did our emotions too. But what about our reason?? Does our reason evolute in the same pace? Could we afirm that our decisions are reasonable taken regardless our primary needs? My opinion is a straight "No"... The facts are known for everyone, we are always trying to get the easiest solution, to use less energy (to be lazy, in the limit : ) ) But the easieast solutions are always surrounded by unexpected, unpredictacle, dangerous variables which we can't control. Human societys always generated their own solutions (needs) and problems (most of the times free of charge). Nowadays, more then ever, seems that our needs are completely moved by emotion, in such a spiral way, where Ego is a supermassive exponential center, and rotates fast and unstable. Lets take some of examples of incongruity....
-men can save lives through science, science can produce bombs to take lives.
-men can create laws to ensure security, laws can take freedom away
-men creates vaccines to avoid deseases to spread, men creates deseases to justify vaccines.
-people can reduce their fat by medical cirurgy, this same intervention can be potencial unsafe
-people reach faster ( instatly) to information, information is manipulated by govs and corporations.
-people crawl the web much more, personal contact is less needed
-men relations and family concept is modifying (stress, gay coupling) hence less new born people on super cities...
and so on....

be happy!
