Good day,
after 9 years I came across the draft blog, that I have started but I didnt finish. Glad that I didnt finish, and more glad it saved it draft. As a reminder, that you should not post everything you think, even it is seems funny, entertaining, smart and so on.
Please welcome
Topic: Talent
Specific purpose: to encourage people to focus on their own talents
Central idea: understanding the meaning of talent and revising our views on word talent.
INTRO:
My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.– Pablo Picasso
Our society is full of people, who lose their identity and ruin their talents, by trying to be what they are not, in their pursuit of happiness and success.
Why so? there are many reasons, but I want to focus on three things – a distorted concept of talent, fears and mentality. Now lets talk about each point more detailed.
1st point: A DISTORTED CONCEPT:
One of the big problems of the modern society, is that people always measure everything with money or social status. The same goes with talent as well – how many people use their talents and skills only get rich, or get social status. In cost of inner peace and happiness. And how many people ruined or left their talents trying to get wealthy and famous, thinking this is a way to happiness.
“If you tell grown-ups, 'I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves on the roof...,' they won't be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, 'I saw a house worth a hundred thousand francs. ' Then they exclaim, 'What a pretty house! – from the book “Little Prince” by A. de Saint-Exupery
2nd point: FEARS
Most people never realize their dreams, their potential and their talents. Cuz most people are so busy being afraid, that they never take their shot in life. People choose their path of fear to make a difference, to bring a difference as practicality. People go to school like they supposed to, they get a job like they are supposed to, they get married and have kids like they supposed to. But who is setting all this rules to their lives? Who are these people telling others what they can or can not do? And the most important Why are we listening to them?
We also can revise popular quote about fear into: “Fear ruined more talents than failure did.”
3rd point: MENTALITY
As a result of first two points, combined together they feed each other and affect our society in worst way. You can also add here some prejudices and we will get exact situation we are talking about. For example: one school student, boy or girl, wants to become a teacher, and he or she really loves this idea and has talent for this. But parents are strictly against it, and their reasons are:
- you are capable of something better (prejudice #1),
- we are famous and respected family (prejudice #2),
- you will not be able to earn enough to support yourself and your family (fear of not getting wealth),
- couldn’t you choose something better? what other will think of us? (fear of objection and condemnation).
This is just simple example, just to give an idea, how many Picassos we have lost and are loosing everyday. But that’s not the only point I wanted to share with you.
CONCLUSION:
In a book “First Break All The Rules – What The World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently” by by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, it says “Talents are unique and enduring. They are part of one’s mental filter on the world. Knowledge can be acquired, skills can be practiced, but talents are part of who you are and are extraordinarily difficult to teach.” and “Great managers are good at figuring out what talents are needed for a particular role, selecting the right person, and making their expectations of that person very clear. They focus on the employee’s strengths, give frequent feedback and constantly challenge the employee to grow stronger and more expert in his or her role.”
This is a great example for us, to break the rules and distortion of how we see talent, to stop thinking that everyone can do everything, and focus on our talents and help finding our role in life. These definitions and concepts we can apply in our daily life, not only in business or to become rich or famous.
So, as a conclusion I want to say, that talent is dedicated to find our purpose in life, our role in life.
Being a good friend is a talent,
Being able to listen to others is a talent,
Being a kind to others is a talent,
Trying to bring positive impact on a society is a unique and rare talent,
Helping others in need is also great talent,
Being a loyal at relationship is a talent, creating a family is a talent, raising kids is a talent, helping your family is a talent, supporting your parents is a talent,
Not doing anything wrong and bad to others is also a talent, especially in modern world, full of tragedies and drama,
Keeping optimistic and positive is another example of great talent, which require courage and strength,
Being a human in this planet, living in a peace and harmony with nature is also can be concidered a talent,
Inspire others to do something good is probably one of the needed talents in modern society, cuz “the planet doesn’t need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kind” – Dalai Lama.
About people, who say they didn’t love anyone, we say that they simply haven’t met love of their life yet. Same here, who might say they don’t have any talent, they simply haven’t met their purpose or mission in life yet.
And the biggest talent person can ever have – is being able to see and being to reveal talents in others and help them to find their purpose in life. It could really make a world little better. In a world, where you can be anything – be kind.
Everyone is unique with their own talents. But not everyone shares them with the world.
“If we could read the mind, then we would know that there are no ordinary people” – from movie Wonder.

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
― Lao Tzu
Good day folks, once I was asked to write about love, and I really don't have any idea what to write, because I don't have an idea of what is love?
I could copy 100 quotes about love, people would say good job as well, press some likes... and nothing. What writing gives us? For me, I feel good being able to share what is in my mind, it is king of relieve your brain, or mind. Relieving your own thoughts gives real feeling of relief, thats why copying others words will not work here.
And again, what is love? Baby don't hurt me:) at least enjoy cool music.
Why it is not easy to me to talk about love? Because it is hard to talk about subject you don't know or never experienced truly. Thats why I can only give my idea and opinion.
I think, love is composition of feelings and emotions, which affect love in different proportions. Again, I could give example from metallurgy, but it would be long, boring and hard:D
Even pure love needs efforts from both sides, or requirements, without which love is unstable or not going last long. Thats question of all times of humankind, without answer and solution. Thats why people fall in love all the time, and do mistake all the time (but not all of them of course). Love is universal feeling of attraction, or bond between people. Here I tell about love between 2 genders, which finally lead to marriage, to make it easy and clear to understand.
As I said before, Loves requires, or consists of other feelings: such as responsibility, care, courage, self-sacrifice, trust, loyalty, honestly, patience, passion, craziness, madness. Add each of component in needed %, according to your personality. Thats why 2 similar loves don't exist, cuz there no same personalities in the world as well.
For me personally it is hard to talk about love, again I repeat, cuz it requires some courage (real one) cuz we put our lives (life is too much, but at least we put our souls). Putting our souls on it, like bet on casino table, is very risky thing. So here we can tell, love requires risk as well, ability to take and handle risks. As some people "bet all" in casino to get jack pot, same in life, people risk "all in" to obtain highers level of love.
In other way, real love doesn't require fame, glory, attention, etc. It is fake love (in my opinion) to achieve something else (peoples attention, money, to keep interest on your personality, for celebrities especially). Real love doesnt need spectators, support group, fans or crowd. Maybe thats why I don't like to talk about love in general as well. Love is meant to be lived, not to be talked. More we talk about it, far it becomes from us:
"...here was once a dream that was Love. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... it was so fragile..." -- I took quote from Gladiator movie, dialogue between Marcus Aurelius and Maximus. I only replaced word Rome with Love.
And, at the very beggining, I added quote of Lao Tzu, which I liked most about Love:
"Being deeply loved gives you strength,
and loving deeply someone gives you courage"
--- as a conclusion, love gives us strength and courage, strength and courage opens any door in our lives, to what we want to achieve and where we want to be ---
p.s. please watch short video (and browse this channel, I found if very useful and inspiring):
Couldnt upload video directly in blog, so check the link here.
p.p.s. I am not in love:)
Good day folks, sadly, everything has end, so football tournaments too, but we say good bye to EURO - 2016, just like we say good bye winter, and surely it will come again:)
(For sport melomans, currently ongoing are Tour de France (cycling), upcoming Olympic games in Rio (august), and many many more, from chess to curling.
As you remember, or not, we tried to predict EURO winners, some good folks did try, many thanks for them.
Here is post http://www.myenglishclub.com/profiles/blogs/football-european-cup-france-2016
Unfortunately, it was very very unpredictable championship, and noone could guess all TOP 3 teams, but many were close.
First of all, folks who guessed 2nd place correct:
Glee Glee, Batuhan, Estanis, Miracle, atsh, Precious, Hasi and Zayra correctly predicted 2nd place - France!
But only 2 people put Portugal on 1st place! When I first saw it, I said: "another football amateurs appeared", how wrong was I:)
Welcome and congratulations!
Samu and Camel!
Well done folks, for believing in Portugal and Ronaldo!
Portugal was strong, lucky and it was destiny.
"It was a Destiny to win at Saint-Denis"
Thank you for participation, thank you teams for whole month of joy, thanks Portugal for making us believe in yourself no matter what, thank you for reading this blog, see you somewhere else.
p.s. I am thinking, is it good idea to write about results of Euro-2016, best and memorable moments, would like to hear your opinions in comment section!
I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun.
The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
Magnus Carlsen - youngest world chess champion
Hello folks,
I have chosen number 7, cuz I like it, more than 9 or 5, which I also like.
And easiest to write is blog, I don't know what is difference between story and essay.
To be hones, I don't know precisely what word "hobby" means.
Just learns somewhere that hobby is "an activity that you do for pleasure when you are not working".
So, what I like to do when I am not working? Can be spending time online considered as hobby? Hope not.
I also like to swim in swimming pool (rarely due to my laziness), running, playing football (also not often), even going to sauna, hard russian style (at least 2 times per month). Are they all hobbies?
At the end, I also like eating sweet things for pleasure when I am not working, so is eating also hobby?
What I want to call hobby, is what you do for pleasure, and not only, but mostly with passion in it, and it doesn't mean you have to be perfect in your hobby, enough that you like it and crazy about it.
For example, I can surely say my hobby is chess.
I am not perfect at chess, but I just like the process of it, even there are some games when you loose, but you enjoy battle on chess board, which pleases and satisfies you.
I can talk about chess 24\7, it is never boring for me (don't confuse playing chess with boring people).
Also I like reading books, articles about chess, life stories of great chess masters, it is really interesting for me.
Roots of chess interest come from family by father side: grandfather, father and uncles, cousins, most of male generation can play chess on different level, but among them grandfather and uncle (father's elder brother) liked it much. So, when I learnt to play, I loved it so much (soon in teen age, and still, my game style preferences are strategies over actions, even PC games, but this is another story:).
As I was growing up, my chess skills also grew up with me, so that I started to beat them one by one, started from cousins, brothers, then uncles, father, and grandfather, so at the end most of them refused to play with me (except uncle and grandfather).
During school and university times, I still loved to play with my friends, classmates, but had lack of chess games in my life, untill I came across chess.com, in 2010. I started to play online since then, and still playing there.
So, simply as running and swimming is fitness for body, chess is fitness for my brain:)
Some days ago I heard something interesting. I skip place, person and topic, I just edited and added some my thoughts.
Generally idea is not mine, I only interpret in my way, hope it wont be considered as plagiarism.
What is common between gravity and mercy?
First of all, what is gravity?
According to Oxford Dictionary, gravity is "The force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass".
In more easy way, attraction force between material objects in universe, from atoms to (what is biggest thing in the universe?) stars, galaxies, black holes, quasars and so on.
Gravity is force that holds "order in universe", without which universe could not and would not exist. One example: with no attraction force nothing would hold electrons on atom orbit, so without gravity universe would collapse in less than 1 second. (Everything would mix and merge into one chaotic substance). Simply is that without gravity there would be chaos in universe.
It is mystic force which affects almost everything in universe, or present in other forces of universe (Important point).
And what is mercy?
According to Oxford Dictionary, mercy is "Compassion or forgiveness shown towards someone whom it is within one’s power to punish or harm". But it is not exactly what I mean by saying "mercy", so let me add word merciful here: "treating people with kindness and forgiveness : not cruel or harsh : having or showing mercy". Even more, to understand it better here is one synonym:
Comparision: sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.
So, I can tell that Mercy is:
1. sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others;
2. treating people with kindness and forgiveness;
3. forgiveness shown towards someone whom it is within one’s power to punish or harm.
Here we can say, mercy occurs between living things, such as humans and animals, insects, etc.
For example, we all know, mercy occurs right in time when others need mercy: being sick, disabled, unable to do something, being harmed, broken, during war, during any natural catastrophy, mercy of mothers to their kids, endless list actually.
What is common between gravity and mercy?
But important point, what I heard, in that moment, when mercy occurs, our heart copies feeling\struggle\suffer\need\(add any feeling here). Example: You feel pain, when you see someone is in pain, or your heart aches when you see struggle of your family members, friends, any other people and animals. More mercy you have in your heart, more sympathy you feel.
And it pushes us to help, or to do anything to lower that eeling\struggle\suffer. In simple words "mercy attracts ones to anothers when they are in situation of necessity of mercy".
Another important point, mercy can or mostly presents in other feelings:
- mother's mercy presents in her love to her kids, which keeps her awake during nights;
- soldier's mercy presents in his patriotism and self-sacrifise, which makes him to fight for his country to death;
- hen's mercy presents in her mother instinct, which makes her to attack any prey who tries to catch chicken;
- king's mercy presents in his generosity, which makes him to forgive captives, and so on.
Mercy is attraction force between living things. Such as gravity keeps order in material (physicual) culture, mercy keeps order in non-material (spiritual) culture.
Same as without gravity there is chaos in material culture there is chaos in non-material culture without mercy: noone would have desire, patience, will to help, care, fight for others and so on, so that nature would be drowned in chaos!
As a conclusion:
Any person, family, society, village, town, city, country, nation who loses mercy, sooner or later will be drowned in social chaos.
It is not something supernatural, or exalted, it is problem of modern society, caused by lack of mercy.
There is no name for "negative gravity", but those who lack mercy, will have their hearts filled with hatred, anger, envy, greed, miserliness and so on. We have a lot of people which 0 mercy, or even "negative mercy" who push away people from themselves. So, any society with 100 % amount of such people, will surely go down and die out in one generation. (What is exactly happening now with some people, some societes and some countries).
Thats why saving world is in our hands, and hearts:)

Learning homophones with wolves
about homophones by homophobe
Good day folks, first of all, what is homophone.
The word “homophone” is used to describe a word that sounds the same as another word, but that has a different meaning. It comes from the Greek words “homo”, meaning “same”, and “phone”, meaning “sound”. The two (or more) words may be spelled differently, but just to make life difficult, they can also be spelled the same.
It is easy to distinguish them when you read or write, but is very difficult when you listen (radio, movie) or speak.
Some easy examples:
Break - Brake
Here - Hear
Peace - Piece
... and so on.
Let us wolf give one more example of homophone:)
Try to read first, then try to listen (Google Translator helps) and see difference.
Now identify who is a werewolf and who is awarewolf:)
just fresh update, came across something interesting, another example of homophone:
(if you don't know Dumbledore, ask Harry Plotter fans)
To learn more about Homophones look here:
https://www.englishclub.com/pronunciation/homophones.htm
Hope you are aware now of wolves and homophones as well.

"truth sounds like hatred
for those who hate the truth"
Good day folks, been a while I didn't write any stuff, so today I want to talk about something, which will not cause any problems to you and me. And topic, a few people know about, and no one care about. But it doesn't change its truth and realism. At least I hope some will react with agression and hatred. Blog contains political crap with some nonsense from my sick mind, so if you think you will not like it, then do not cross the line above:
___________________________________________________________________________________
Firstly, long time ago Frankfurt School had formed some theories, criticising capitalism and soviet socialism (communism).
What I know, is that some of these theories were turned into monsters by some groups of "people in power".
Theories, went thru sick minds, mutated into some creepy doctrines, labels and speculations with society thinking, causing new strategies of society control and world domination.
First of all, to protect their doctrines and strategies, they invented term "Political Correctness", so that noone can say a word against them.
(Thats why in this, and previous blog I was and will be labeled as homophobe, fanatic intolerant bigot, etc. Now you know why)
Most valuable theory, came from Frankfurt School and which went thru "Politically Correct" filter, is Cultural Marxism.
In simple language, Marxism - social system, where people equal to each other. On practice it was meant to be Socialism, and on reality it went to be Soviet Socialism, or Communism. Where "all people are equal, but some are more equal than others" as George Orwell said.
and Cultural Marxism means, where all people equal culturally. To make all people equal in means of culture, tradition, society, gender, race, political views, or to say in one sentence: to clear any difference among people, no difference in races, languages, traditions, religions, preferetations, in gender. And replace those values with crappy or creepy ones, and call them "Progress", "Tolerance", "New Wave", "Civilized Rules" etc. (Labels are not only for hatred, but for supporting ideas as well:)
Here are some examples, to explain better what I mean:
(Guess now on which stage we are now, and where are we going, and yes, I am still homophobic fanatic bigot:)
and therefore way straigt to "progress", full pack of what you need to be free:
Here are just very very tiny of big thing:)
Thats why today, if you say something against gays, etc, (Negative Labels) you will have more problems, if you blame religion, family, race (Unwanted Labels). Just like Manny Pacquao had:)
This is reason why religions being blamed today, while Christianity almost lost its power, and Islam being blamed for everything. And Atheism is being preached, and welcoming everywhere.
Every big corporation (Apple, Google, Nike, etc), every foundation (UN, UNICEF, UNESCO, Green Peace, IMF, NATO), every media group (from news media, like CNN, Al-Jazeera and BBC, to media like Discovery and National Geographic), work in the name of Cultural Marxism. Ah, I forgot, even Holywood with all its Disneys, 20th Century Fox, Warner, etc work hard 24 hrs a day.
Now this is time to the end, and welcome to discuss way to "progress".
See you:)
Good day englishclub folks,
I heard somewhere, or saw somewhere, about one english practice exercise.
"Compose sentence or text using words, which exlude one letter "(any letter from alphabet).
For example, letter "S" - "I am very happy today. I woke up and realized that I have won 1 million dollar lottery", but of course, such letters like "S, X, Q, Z..." are very easy, so you can take any harder one.
Letter "E" - "I am happy today, after I got up I saw on TV that I won 1 million dollar on bingo show.
I am asking you here to write one or more texts, using this practice, but for sure, text should make sense. It is allowed to use dictionaries, books, advices or any other source of help, cuz this is not competition. This is just to practice and expand our vocabulary domain.
Use any letter from alphabet, except "Z X Q J G". It means do not use letters Z X Q J G for your challenge, pick any other, for example A E C S M I O, harder - better.
Good to try "D" cuz it is used in almost every past tense verbs, or "W", which is used almost in every question, and so on.
You can try different letters in different texts, or if you think this is easy, you can try 2 or more letters, as you like.
I am not sure if i explained it well, if you have questions you can ask me in comments.
Text without letter "A"
Good evenining or morning or night. Hope everyone is doing fine. I thought it is not difficult to write something without specific letter, but I need to tell it is interesting.
Cuz it is impossible use I V+ing form here, I will use He is, reffering to myself:D
Doubtless, text will look noonse, but I need to form text without mother mercy first english letter.
He is (me of course) just trying to test or experiment his english word-stock.
Thinking too much over this text did give me sorrow in top of my body, something with grey stuff inside it.
So, I decided to stop here this time. Possibly I will continue other twenty-four-hours:)

Note 1. (02.03.15): I am not big fan of fantasy like Harry Potter or Game of Thrones, for me better fiction but with real life or history.
Prefences are novel, fictions, classic books. No fantasy, no poetry.
And, I read books not only in english, mostly in russian language (but of course reading in english too for keeping afloat).
***
Note 2. (30.03.15): things going slower than I expected, but I dont loose enthusiasm. Life goes on, and we too:)
***
Note 3 (06.07.15): things going nice, as planned, half year passed, 10 books finished, so moving further, despite 4 month of absence:) I have goals, I see targets.
***
Note 4 (29.07.15): another 2 books finished, and I am thinking about removing one (Citadel) from list. Adventure continues!
***
Note 5 (30.11.15): huh, 4 months passed, and I finished only 3 books:) Finally I replaced #2 "Citadel" with "The Mysterious Island", fair enough. Also "The Kite Runner" impressed me much, special thanks for Sir Eric. 1 month and 4 books to go, easy stuff:)
***
Note 6 (02.01.2016): I have finished my last book by 30th december of 2015. So, I have completed my own challenge, and now I don't know what to say:) ... Will make new one for 2016th year, let's see:)
Good day folks, and I wish to participate in writing challenge. And I want to write about "Kolbasa", let me introduce this cute word to you so that you can understand better why I took it.
FAQ about "Kolbasa"
1. What "Kolbasa" means?
Kolbasa is russian word and in english translated as Sausage, food usually made from ground meat, often pork, beef or veal, along with salt, spices and breadcrumbs, with a skin around it.
2. Why I write about it?
To be honest, I love it, adore eating it, almost cant imagine a day without it. Not pork kolbasa of course, but chicken or beef only. Would like to taste one day cat kolbasa or turtle maybe, hard to believe but yes, sounds delicious. And one more reason to like, that kolbasa can be used as slang
3. How this word is used as a slang?
Kolbasa is universal word, which can be used to make fun, to tease, and sometimes mock your friends, and others as well.
It may refer to person who just acted sly, or made wrong move, so that you feel inside yourself you just cant let this moment fade away without joking.
You can also call your friends like kolbasa, it is not offensive or rude, very innocent and kind word. This is exact reason I love this word:)
4. How many kolbasa types there are and which one you like most?
There are a lot of kolbasa types and species, so we can classify them below:
Cooked sausages are made with fresh meats, and then fully cooked. They are either eaten immediately after cooking or must be refrigerated.
Cooked smoked sausages are cooked and then smoked or smoke-cooked. They are eaten hot or cold, but need to be refrigerated.
Fresh sausages are made from meats that have not been previously cured. They must be refrigerated and thoroughly cooked before eating.
Fresh smoked sausages are fresh sausages that are smoked and cured. They do not normally require refrigeration and do not require any further cooking before eating.
Dry sausages are cured sausages that are fermented and dried. Some are smoked as well at the beginning of the drying process. They are generally eaten cold and will keep for a long time.
Bulk sausage, or sometimes sausage meat, refers to raw, ground, spiced meat, usually sold without any casing.
Vegetarian sausage are made without meat, for example, based on soya protein or tofu, with herbs and spices. Some vegetarian sausages are not necessarily vegan, and may contain ingredients such as eggs.
My favourites are Cooked and Cooked smoked kolbasa, with cheese they make great combination any time, but best time for me is breakfast, some cheese, kolbasa and olives, yummy:)

But there is one forgotten or almost forgotten part in history, where Kolbasa took place.
During Cold war in early 1960th years, Nikita Khruschev said on public that "he will show to America Mother of Kuz'ka (Kuzkinu Mat')". After that Americans thought Kuzka is name of new rocket, probably rockets, which were new build opposite to long-distance-flight bomber planes.
And as we know from history, new weapons take sometimes funny names which dont make sense, like "tank" was code name for new machine, which could destroy enemy cannons and machine-guns, so that name left like that. By this logic, Soviet Union, didnt call rocket project by Kuzka, but it was called "Kolbasa", because rockets and sausage almost look same by shape and look.
By the end of 1970th Kolbasa project has been split into many separate projects, with different missions tasks, like "ground-ground", "ground-air" and "air-ground" missiles. Time has changed, and impressions about war tactics changed as well, after these changes rocket complexes took new names, which are well known today. For example, ballistic rocket complex "Satan" looks like big smoked kolbasa, so almost every rocket in the world contains parts and elements from secret "Kolbasa" project!
So, next time eathing sausag, imagine you are eating part of little rocket. Wish you all good and pleasant 2016 year, and wish Kolbasa brings you only joy, happines and fun:)
Don not be afraid of perfection, you can not achive it anyway
Salvador Dali
This blog dedicated to Disapar, although I dont know him:D Hope he doesnt mind.
Just for fun, and why I put this name to blog?
so, what to write here? no idea really, just wanted to write all random things, not only for fun.
for example: I tried to avoid sarcasm, but I Kant:D
and I dont want to raise any fight or hatred here, cuz you know, lately I am very peaceful person:)
to be honest, I dont have idea about ways to be crazy in main room. I have only 1 way, just being yourself, like Salvador Dali said: "I am not on drugs, cuz I am drugs". So, if we had chance to bring Salvador Dali in main room, that would be another way to be crazy there. That is what I am sure about.
But talking about craziness not only in main room, I saw many interesting things. Hope my blog wont be closed or reported, would be sad. At least I do believe in Freedom of Speech and Expression.
I see dead people saw some interesting people, who has power of words. Like, they motivate others to write blogs, in good or bad way, anyway it is power. I am motivated as well:D
Others are aside from EC, I see them in news mostly.
1. People who think their sheet doesnt smell. Mostly politicians and journalist, who like accusing others in things, they do the most. But it is none of my business:D
Just suggestion for them: "People who think their sheet doesnt smell, have to take out their heads from caves, to feel the difference"
2. Open-minded people. Open-minded people - it is when their mind is so much open, so that brain fallen out from their head, leaving mind open and empty. In such open-mind there are no filters applied, to control and sort all information coming into this mind, so that they accept mostly everything their goverment implement to them.
But it is none of my business:D
3. Point of view. Some people have so much little knowledge about subject, so their outlook is like dot, with zero radius, thats why it is called POINT of view:)
4. Public opinion: "Point of view of those people, whom noone actually asked about their opinion".
If you meet people like this in EC, it is totally coincidence. Thats why please dont take my words personally, or take, at the end noone cares to be honest:D
So, if you have something to add, please feel free to ask questions and discuss it in comment section. I will disable comments, to make it funnier to discuss.
If you liked it, hit "Like", if you didnt like, well... listen to this music, it will make you feel better. (even if you liked this blog, you may still listen to that music)

Are countries obligated to accept refugees?
We not only have a legal obligation to honor our commitments,
we have a moral obligation to provide the coverage
we promised to provide to these people.
Bob Ney
Once a person asked a question: ''why the European countries are asked to help the refugees..they are not obliged to help them...they only help them out of their civilized nature..isnt it?"
To answer this question, we have to look up for key words, such as:
- Refugee.
- Obliged or Obligation to help.
- Civilized nature
Go back to history, after World War II, when hundreds of thousands of refugees were displaced across Europe (and World itsef), The 1951 Refugee Convention (Convention and Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees) was created.
So, according to definitions of this Convention, refugee is: “A person who owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it”.
Or simply
“a person who flees for refuge or safety, especially to a foreign country,as in time of political upheaval, war, etc”
Convention's mission and aim: "Since, by definition, refugees are not protected by their own governments, the international community (Countries, who have signed Convention) steps in to ensure they are safe and protected," and "refugees deserve, as a minimum, the same standards of treatment enjoyed by other foreign nationals in a given country and, in many cases, the same treatment as nationals,"
Rights granted by this Convention:
1. The right to not be sent back home into harm's way, except under extreme circumstances.
2. The right to not be punished for illegally entering countries that signed on to the Convention and Protocol
3. The right to housing
4. The right to work
5. Access to education
6. Access to public assistance
7. Access to courts
8. The right to get identification and travel documents.
So, I think, this information is enough to answer question, if European countries are obligated to help refugees.
Simple answer: Yes, but obligatory only for those who have signed Convention. To see the list of countries, who have signed Convention, click here.
And also, talking about 2nd part of question: "their civilizated nature",look for Gulf countries.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates didn't sign Convention and Protocol, so technically they are not obligated to accept refugees. And they didn't, which is their right. They didn't want to show "Civilized Nature" due to some reasons.
This is example of Civilized Nature, and ask yourself, would European countries help if they didn't sign Convention and Protocol, or they would claim that it is their right (not to accept refugees)?

Story of his life. Last page. 1
Yes, life happened and this is happened as well. Now I am staying here, to accompany my friend to the last journey, where he found his last asylum.
And here, staying over his grave, I don’t have much to say about my old friend.
… We met first time in far 2015th year, when we were 28 years old. He was not that bad guy, he was open, trustworthy and friendly. But, unfortunately, these all skills didn’t help him or it wasn’t enough to achieve any of his goals in life. Sad to admit, he had lack of courage to chase his targets, and didn’t have strong spirit to handle circumstances thru his life path. Other thing, he never grown up, acting most of the time immaturely without taking responsibility of what he did (or didn’t).
All these and other things made him antisocial, making his integration into society a big deal for him. He never married, and he always said it was his choice, but to be correct, he didn’t even try to change it as well.
… More he moved in life, more he failed in attempts to change his life. More he failed, more he stood far from people, living in his created world, sharing it only with few friends and family. Did he even try to answer to the question - what is happiness? And even now, not so many people gathered to attend his funeral. Funeral of person, who put himself in exile, who spent life alone, and lying now alone in his last and eternal exile.
… His life has reminded me story of Martin Eden, but any without success, faded and forgotten man, who left only “-“ sign after him, between birth and death date.

And here, staying over his grave, I have much to say about my old friend.
… We met first time in far 2015th year, when we were 28 years old. He was really good guy, with open, caring and reliable personality. He carried all capabilities to achieve his dreams, despite the fact he didn’t call them “dreams”, he called them “goals”. Thru all his life, with enviable confidence and courage, he set and beat goals, one by one. He was always saying that no one is to take responsibility of his life, except him, and never turned his face from life challenges. Being mature enough, he didn’t lose his sense of humor mixed with healthy sarcasm, from which we “suffered” a lot.
… He never planned to be rich, but he was wealthy by his family, friends, ideas and achievements, that created warm and pleasant world around him. He never intended to be center of mass, but he was welcomed member of society of his city, always trying to make himself and people around him better.
… I can say that, he found his perfection and happiness in life: his business, house near the lake, loving and lovely wife with beautiful kids they raised. And his actions will remain forever in spending to charity to help build and support schools, hospitals, and kindergartens and many more.
… And now, standing here, among all people who would like to thank him for the last time, I remember one simple sailor Edmond Dantes, who became soon The Count of Monte Cristo, leaving good memory and example for next generations.
***
p.s. now I am back to 2015, and I have to decide what my friend will write about me.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing.
Hello people, if we are people yet. Why I am doubting about it, I will explain now.
I strongly believe that word "people" refers too human being, nowadays I don't know how many of so-called human beings are humans exactly.
Humans are said to be representatives of homo-sapiens race. Others, under homo-sapiens, are called humanoids.
Ok, here we go:)
Of course, if is rude and very impolite to mock people, calling them "monkeys" or something like this. I just didn't or can't find any other proper word.
I want to share one thing, phenomenon - The Overton Window.
Whats this? Description and history if it you can see by following the link. Simply I can say, it is powerful and extremely effective tool, that can implement and legislate ANY idea in society. Like, nothing is impossible for those, who decided to impletent an idea into society, people's minds, human brain, to make them accept the things that were immoral and against nature at the begining.
I will just show stages, how its mechanism works:
1. From unthinkable to radical
2. From radical to acceptable
3. From acceptable to reasonable
4. From reasonable to popular
5. From popular to Policy.
----------
Still have doubts that these stages work? Evgeniy Gorzhaltsan, says this Overton Window is "may be more effective than nuclear weapons to destroy human communities".
Evgeny is author of following example, and he took CANNIBALISM as it one of most of unthinkable things nowadays.
First stage: from unthinkable to radical:
Obviously, now the issue of legalization of cannibalism is on the lower level of acceptance in the 'window of opportunities' of Overton, since society considers it as absurd and unthinkable, a taboo.
It is possible to change this perception by transferring the matter to the scientific sphere, as for scientists usually there is no taboo subjects. An ethnological symposium about exotic rituals of polynesian tribes can be used to discuss the history of the subject of study and obtain authoritative statements about cannibalism, and then ensuring the transition from negative and uncompromising attitude of society to a more positive attitude.
Simultaneously, you must create a radical group of cannibals, although they exist only in the Internet, they will surely be cited by numerous media outlets. As a result of the first stage of Overton, the taboo disappears and unacceptable issue begins to be discussed.
Second stage: from radical to acceptable:
At this stage, one should continue quoting scientists, arguing that no one can say that has no knowledge about cannibalism, as if someone refuses to talk about it will be considered a hypocritical bigot.
By condemnming the intolerance, it is also necessary to create a euphemism for the phenomenon itself and thus separate the word from its meaning. Thus, cannibalism becomes 'anthropophagy' and later in 'anthropophilic'.
In parallel, one can establish a precedent of reference, historical, mythological, contemporary or simply invented, but the most important is to be legitimized, so it can be used as proof that anthropophily principle can be legalized.
Third stage: from acceptable to reasonable:
For this step it is important to promote ideas such as the following: "the desire to eat people are genetically justified," "sometimes a person has to resort to this, if in favorable circumstances" or "a free man have the right to decide what to eat."
Real opponents to these concepts, ie, people who do not want to be indifferent to the problem, deliberately convert to public opinion in radical enemies whose role is to represent the image of crazy psychopaths, aggressive opponents of anthropophily clamoring to burn cannibals alive, along with other representatives of minorities .
Experts and journalists show that during this stage of human history there have always been times when people ate each other, and that this was normal .
Fourth stage: from reasonable to popular:
The media, with the help of well-known people and politicians are already talking openly about anthropophily. This phenomenon begins to appear in movies, lyrics of popular songs and videos. At this stage, begins the promotion of historical characters who practiced anthropophily.
To justify to the proponents of legalization of the phenomenon, it can be appealed to the humanization of criminals by creating a positive image of them saying, for example , that they are victims, because life forced them to practice anthropophily.
Fifth stage: from popular to political:
This stage is the preparation of legislation to legalize the phenomenon. Pressure groups are consolidated in power and publish research that supposedly confirm a high percentage of supporters of the legalization of cannibalism in society. In the public consciousness establishes a new dogma: "The prohibition of eating people is forbidden."
This is a typical technique of liberalism that works due to tolerance as a pretext for prescribing taboos. During the last stage of the 'moving windows' of Overton, from popular to political, the society has suffered a disruption because the norms of human existence have been altered or destroyed by the adoption of new laws.
Evgeny Gorzhaltsán concludes that the concept of 'windows of opportunities', first described by Joseph Overton, can extrapolate ANY phenomenon ....
and is especially easy to apply a tolerant society where the so-called freedom of expression became the dehumanization and where before our eyes removes one after all the other limits that protect society from the abyss of self-destruction.

Still in doubts?
Today we are at stage 5 on same-sex marriages, step 3 with regards transgender issues, step 5 children euthanasia, step 2 pedophilia. Yes, and don't be shocked.
---
Is it not possible in our world?
Let's have some walk:
1. Parents face court action for removing children from gay history lessons
Read more:
2. Gay messages built into school maths lessons for children as young as four years old.
Read more:
3. Children's euthanasia bill signed by Belgium king
4. Motive for the arrest? According to the lawyer, it is only because these students were wearing an “anti-marriage for all” tee-shirt.
5. France Accused of Police Brutality Against Traditional Marriage Demonstrators.
and for dessert:
6. We'll stop puberty so Tommy can become Tammy: Lesbian couple want to help 11 years old boy to become girl.
would you be happy to be adopted by such lovely and caring couple?:)

About being gay and gay marriages:
For example, in some ancient time countries and civilizations, people were believing in humans as Gods, and done the immoral and things against nature, like killing people in the name of God, cut their hearts alive, worship alive people as Gods, and so on. But in these times, it was ok and acceptable, cuz people believed humans are Gods, etc. So, if I call myself God in that time, noone will blame or kill me. EVen more, people will protect me and my rights.
Today, we consider people's killing as act of terrororism, even cutting heart of alive human is very bad action and surely agaisnt human nature. So, if I call myself God, and order people kill in my name, I will be thrown into jail or mental house.
Therefore: Why if I say I am Pharaoh, I am taken into mental house. But if I say I am women, my rights are protected.
And maybe, many many years after, future humans will discover our history and ashes, and think about us, like we think today about those people in the past, who believed in Pharaohs, and did immoral things against nature. If they will find my blog, it will be the same, as to find script or piece of pergament 3000 years old, telling that Pharaohs are not Gods, they are just same human beings as we are. And it is always being, that man is man, woman is woman.
Only thing is clear, that this is One way ticket straight to nowhere.

Still here are only 2 questions are open for me:
1. What is reason in legalizing all this stuff ( gay-marriages, transgender issue, pedophilia, etc)?
2. Which door gay-lesbian are selecting in public?
