O Mii in Klari, vzgoji, izobraževanju in pijancih za volanom

Živ,
(ha! ironija)

ne vem, če si kaj slišala zgodbo o dveh dekletih, ki ju je pretekli ponedeljek nekdo povozil do smrti?

Bili sta Klara in Mia in poznal sem ju obe. Super punci. Vsaj bili sta, do tega ponedeljka. (Novica na 24.ur.com tukaj.)

Nisem vedel - ali pa sem pozabil (kar mi na nek način povzroča nelagodje in grenkobo v ustih) - da sta imeli take želje in načrte za svojo prihodnost. Morda pa sem ju nazadnje v živo videl še preden sta stopili na ti, sedaj končani, življenski poti. Verjetno je bilo kje v gozdu, na kaki kontrolni točki. Verjetno smo se smejali.

Kot pišejo po besedah člana uprave taborniškega društva Rod Bičkova skala v Novicah:
Mia in Klara. Foto: Tadeja Rome
Zato ob tem ni nič čudnega, da sta se odločili, da bosta tudi po študiju vedno pomagali ljudem: Klara je študirala medicino, Mia pa defektologijo.
Pred tem je pisalo:

Tako Mia kot Klara sta bili tako v ožjem vodstvu taborniškega rodu, saj sta bili vodnici voda tabornikov v starosti od 12 do 16 let. »Mia je bila tukaj od otroških let oziroma 10 let, Klara pa malo manj, tako da sta obe šli skozi fazo, da sta bili članici v vodu, potem pa sta napredovali,« njuno pot pri tabornikih opiše član društva in ob tem s solzami v očeh dodaja: »Mi smo vsi tako narejeni, da radi drugim pomagamo. Onidve sta bili pa sploh v tem še toliko bolj. Sta dajali celega človeka v to, da sta poskušali vzgojiti dobre državljane.«


Da je ironija večja, na fotografiji iz spletnih Slovenskih Novic je malce nespretno fotograf ujel sveče ob fotografiji umrlih, starejšo gospo in rob plakata, na katerem pise "Tako kot mora biti." (Clanek.)
Hecno (seveda ni).

  Žalostno, da te (nas?) morajo taki dogodki spomniti, da imamo samo eno življenje in da se lahko relativno hitro, v trenutku, konča. Da se ga splača živet. In da smo ga mi, ki ostajamo na tej strani večnih lovišč, dolžni preživeti hvaležno in živeti na polno. Dolžni smo takim fajn - mrtvim - osebam, kot sta bili Klara in Mia.


V spomin in opomin je Sonja Merljak, na spletni strani mnenj Dela v sredo in četrtek napisala spodnje vrstice.
Vem, da si bila zlata maturantka, tako te opisujejo v medijih. Ampak to je bilo morda še najmanj. Predvsem si bila verjetno najbolj čist človek – prepričana sem, da je bila takšna tudi tvoja prijateljica Klara –, kar sem jih poznala. Punca, ki je človeku dajala upanje v človeštvo in medosebne odnose. -- Sonja Merljak, Mia in jaz

In nato tudi malce bolj tematsko razširjeno sporočilo, ki bi moralo odzvanjati precej več časa kot samo eno- ali dvotedenski medijski pomp ob in po taki nesreči.
Zakaj starši ne znamo, nočemo, ne moremo ustaviti petletnika, ki jezika in tepe sovrstnike; desetletnika, ki se noče umakniti z vrha tobogana; štirinajstletnika, ki meče petarde?
 Zakaj učitelji ne znajo, nočejo, ne morejo ustaviti mulcev, ki divjajo po šoli? Koliko smo za to spet odgovorni starši, ki otrok ne učimo, da ima učitelj odgovornost in avtoriteto, da ga usmerja, ampak hitimo v šolo, vsakič ko otrok pritoži, da se mu je zgodila krivica (recimo, ker ga je učitelj, ki je zanj odgovoren v šoli naravi, rekel, da naj odvrže pločevinko s pivom)? Po možnosti z odvetnikom!
  Iz: Ne vem, kdo je Dean Stanko, in me niti ne zanima, http://www.delo.si/mnenja/blog/ne-vem-kdo-je-dean-stanko-in-me-niti-ne-zanima.html (objavljeno 9.5.2013, dostopno 11.5.2013).

Sporočilo, ki bi po mojem mnenju, da ponovim, moralo odzvanjati več kot samo trenuten medijski pomp ob in po nesreči. Pa verjetno ne bo. Ali pa ... Ali pa boš ti, dragi bralec, draga bralka, storil/a kaj s tem v zvezi?

  Se sam/a spomnil/a na dogodek. Pazil/a na otroke, jih vzgajala. (Ups, kje je meja med vsiljivostjo in 'dobro mero'? Kje je, na nek način diskriminacija med vtikanjem punc ali gospa, (bodočih) mater v vzgojo otrok drugih in med taistim vtikanjem fantov, mladeničev, gospodov (sicer morda bodočih očetov, a vendar lahko tudi pedofilov)? A ta razlika med spoloma, ki smo jo "privzgojili" v družbo v zadnjih 30-ih ali nekaj takega letih, je del druge zgodbe.)

Kje so časi, ko "smo" skupaj vzgajali mladino?
Lea Sauperl 7 let
  Kje je zdrava sol in pamet, tako v državnih organih, kot na ulici, v šolah, v glavah slehernikov? Ni vse tako črno, saj še obstaja, samo malce potlačena je, ta zdrava pamet. Lahko bi se jo trudili spraviti ven, vsi mi. Jaz zase vem, da se trudim za tak cilj in da poskušam tudi v drugih (sedaj upam, manj vsiljivo kot v času 'pubertete') vzbuditi podobno.

Srečno.

In pazite na prehodu za pešce. Če ste peš ali za volanom ali balanco ali na waveboardu.
Srčno upam, da preživite.

Ker nisem "fan" editiranja, naj povem tole: drugi odstavek te objave se je prvotno bral drugače, a sem ga spremenil, na prigovor in trezno besedo prijatelja. Namen je bil vzbuditi občutek šoka, verjetno, v tistih, ki niso osebno povezani s to tragedijo. Tako sem kolegu napisal: Ker je bila to poanta. Ta šokantnost. Samo ... imaš prav, seveda. Ni primerno.
... Ne vem. Morda sem preveč brezčuten, nisem bil tam na pogrebu. Morda sem preveč artističen na kvatre. Ali pa resnično ne premorem toliko empatije na trenutke.

Ne vem. Ampak sem oz. bom naredil kompromis. Bom prestavil in bom zbrisal, dokler se ne spomnim boljšega načina, kako to povedat. Ta šok. Ki pa bi verjetno marsikoga odvrnil od branja dalje ... tako da - še enkrat hvala.
 

Originalno je pisalo: Bili sta Klara in Mia in poznal sem ju obe. Super punci. Super mrtvi.

"Add endum": Tudi jaz si želim, da bi bili punci živi, ker sta bili mega kul. In če sem iskren, enostavno ne dojamem, da jih ni več.
... 
  Ampak napisal bom še dve misli. Prva od Svetlane Makarovič:
"Kaj mi boste rože nosil, ko bom mrtva?! Zdej mi jih dejte, da jih bom lahko vohala in videla, ko sem še živa!" (Po besednem izročilu moje mame.)

In pa:

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."
—Gandalf (Book One: Chapter II) (J.R.R. Tolkien)

Ženske ne potrebujejo moških!

Ženske bolj skrbijo za svoje zdravje kot moški. Verjetno zato, ker se bolj zavedajo, da so od njih odvisni tudi drugi. S tem mislim predvsem na otroke - želja po katerih je lahko še tako latentna, a v mojem pogledu evolucijsko nujno vseeno prisotna.
  Moški po drugi strani, se ne zavedajo povezave: moje zdravje - moja družina/partner/otroci - služba - (dolgo in) prijetno življenje. Enostavno nekateri ne vidijo tako daleč. Razen, če so bili vzgojeni oz. so se vzgojili tako, da je zdravo življenje že del njihove (športne) rutine.

Saj ne, da ženske potrebujejo moške, seveda ne - a tipi ne dojamejo, da če si je punca izbrala njega, si ga je verjetno z razlogom (ali več njih), in da ji je verjetno precej pri srcu, da bi nekako rada videla, da je z njim vse v redu in ga imela ob sebi (pod seboj, na sebi ... _______ (vstavite sebi omiljeni položaj)) še nekaj časa. Včasih do konca življenja.
  Ne, tipi ne dojamemo.

A potrebujemo ženske, tako kot one 'potrebujejo' nas. Ob ženskah so moški bolj moški in ob pravih moških, ki jim znajo dajati občutek varnosti in ljubljenosti, spoštovanja, se ženske počutijo prave ženske. (Vsaj tako dojemam stvar, ne pravim, da je univerzalno pravilo.) A vendar gre za malce drugačne potrebe, drugačna izhodišča. To bi morali razumeti ~ in ker smo, brez večjih vložkov denarja in časa, lahko samo enega spola, lahko privzeto razumemo le eno izhodišče - tisto svojega spola. (Ali, da bom bolj jasen: tisto svoje spolne usmerjenosti.) Ostalo pa žal, če se ne želimo zreducirati na Marsovce in Zemljanke oz. Veneričanke (?), moramo rešiti s pogovori. Pravimi pogovori dveh, obeh, v dvoje. Brez distraktorjev, z iskrenim zanimanjem za (so)človeka in brez konstantnega vrednotenja in ocenjevanja povedanega. Brez samoumevnosti.
  Kar pa traja. A se splača. Saj veste:
"Life's a journey, not a destination."

Objemi svojega bliznjega ... MY ASS!

ETO, TO MI NI JASNO: kako lahko LJUDJE POSILJAJO take maile naokoli, ko pa hocem ravnati po teh dobrohotnih nasvetih (in lastni vesti in srcu), naletim na ZGRAZANJE in GROZO?
... ce plesem, ko mi pase, je cudno, ce pojem, ko sem vesel, je noro, če bi rad objel nekoga, ker je lep dan, ker sem vesel, ker se mi zdi, da je človek potrt in rabi objem, ..., je ljudem nerodno.

In potem, na vsake toliko, dobim mail, kot ta, katerega delček pripenjam spodaj. KJE JE TU RESNICA, kje PRAVICA? "Have we turned INTO GERBILS, ladies and gentleman?" A nihče več nima jajc, da bi živel, kot o tem sanja in delal dobre stvari dobrim ljudem?
Ampak ne, LEPO in SPODOBNO pa je poslati PIVO ali CVETJE ali povabilo za neko noro dobro novo igro tipa MafiaVampireVille PO F* FACEBOOK-u? Pa a me zezate?

//Spomnite se, da daste topel objem tistemu zraven vas, ker je to edino
imetje,ki ga lahko daste s svojim srcem, a ne stane niti pare.//
//Pomnite: preživite nekaj časa z vam dragimi, ker oni ne bodo tu tudi večno.
Pomnite: recite kakšno prijazno besedo tistemu, ki vas gleda s
strahospoštovanjem, ker bo ta majhna oseba skoraj odrasla in odšla.//

Castration for Polish Paedophiles Opposed

'This legislation is turning medical treatment into a form of punishment. We are not against the use of hormonal treatments to control the sexual impulses of those with a history of sexual violence, but we support its use as a treatment instead of a punishment, and it should be evidence-based and require the consent of the person undergoing the treatment.'
vir: Rights: Castration for Polish Paedophiles Opposed.

  Oh, come on!
  I mean, just the other day (it was actually past Tuesday) we were debating with our professor on paedophile-mania we have in the world. NOW, the 1st grade teachers are not comfortable with touching 4, 5, 6, 7 year-olds, afraid of the act being labeled as pedophilia. HELLLO?
  I mean, If you're form a country with a long record of anti-pedophile propaganda in the media, can you just, for the sake of my arguments, cast yee judgements aside? See, here in S.LOVE.nia, this has not gone so far. Probably because the people have been more scared of a) coming out, b) telling the stories of harassment and so on, ... and so we haven't had many of those.

  BUT! A kid of 5 doesn't wear a tie in Slovenia and can barely tie his own shoes (different system;). How in the world is education supposed to be relaxing for the kid, educative even, and SAFE, if the teacher is not allowed (or is mortified by the fear of losing her/HIS job) to touch the child, say, in order to assist him/her with climbing on the playground.

  And this is also sexism! Male counterparts are practically all labeled "gay" and "pedophile", until proven otherwise. Come on, admit. Everyone has been eying everybody else differently in the past few years, since The March Of The Homosexuality and the pedophilia occurences.

  And just imagine: because of all the fear in the world and the people (the young parents and psychologists), a guy would be labeled a pedophile faster nowadays. According to some, it is best treated with hormones and drugs, to cure him of the notion.
/.../ Turing's homosexuality resulted in a criminal prosecution in 1952—homosexual acts were illegal in the United Kingdom at that time—and he accepted treatment with female hormones as an alternative to prison. /.../
(Alan Turing (see wikipedia here) was one of the fathers of IT; contributed to Hut-8, a code-braking machine during WW2, promoted usage of algorithms ...)

  Imagine, just try to, that the guy/lady is innocent. HELLO?!
In dubio pro reo is what I'll say, before I go on for hours and hours.

All the ... small thinigs ...

While going back through some of the drafts for the posts, I stumbled, like a wee drunken dwarf, upon the following lines:

This will be a rather cheesy post. I will talk about love.
Not really, actually. Love needs no taking about. Just as life and moral and ethics and ... money .. need no talking about. Everyone can fall in love. And everyone can loose their beloved. It's called Time, also knowns as: Life.

Read, educate ... think. And you will KNOW.
Know naught and ask, consult the Uncle Google and do many things, apart from deep thought and self-searching, not exercising any empathy on the fellow beings .. (see, it's not just us, humans I'm talking about.)
...
(we go back to the future, ie, to the present (what a lovely word at this time of year;) and continue thus: )
A funny thought just struck me yesterday: just of the Animal kingdom or tszar-dom, or phila or whatever, in the Phillum Crustacea (crabs etc.) there are know approx. 67.000 known species.
NOW. ... For the fungi ... numbers get even better (and wetter?): I think we heard last year they're estimating the numbers to be 4 million (of the wee fungi, yes, Mycotina).
NOW ... of the 250.000 plant species (and more are being discovered, the only setback being the demolition and degradation of the natural world, a small thing, don't you fret a bit) ... of the uknown number of Microbiota, microorganisms (new are being discovered every day, ... and nobody knows, where the number will stop, since we're melting (AAAAA, I'M MEEEELTIIING, MELTING!!!) the unimportant icebergs and the whole continents, apparently (here: for one of the numerous articles on the subject)

new microbes are being cast, demons from the ancient past (when WE were but strains of forming DNA in one of the ancestors, lurking and hiding out in the undergrowth), unto the light of the New Days.
And NOW, consider this:
Homo sapiens is but ONE (1, let me spell it out for us: o n e ) of the species, of the myriads of different life forms, living on this used-to-be-blue-and-green-planet we could once call home.
But ... it's not all so dark, I know, I know.

Thus - love. Another concoction of proteins, enzymes and superfluous fluids, running through our bodies, unknowningly turning us into subjects of our hearts' desires.
Making us addicted to the mere sight of those we cherish and love the most. Making us suffer almost undurable pains, because we are not with whom we'd want to be (if that is the case). Painstakingly tearing away the fibers of our hearts until they are instantly healed back when we are together. But cracks remain .. And through them, the very essence of our beings seeps, the pigments of imagination, writhing on the cold, cold eeyrie air of the reality.
...
For hearts fear the world .. and it's coldness. Not often are they willing to expose themselves to the whims of chance, that brutal Mistress of the Words and Words ...
I'm off with the fairies, I guess, so I'll just stop.

Anyways, folks, wish you the very best of what's left of the 2008
and
"Farewell, wherever you are, till your eyries receive you at the journey's end."

Africa going it's own way and counteracting against global economic recession

(Well, that's how I'd put it, anyway;)

IPS EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Archbishop Desmond Tutu
==============================

In an exclusive interview to IPS Correspondent, Bankole Thompson, South Africa’s Archbishop, Desmond Tutu, talks about the current global financial crisis and how he thinks something is wrong with the "free market" system. He called for a review of the fundamentals of capitalism. He said African governments should form cartels to protect their institutions if Western nations are protecting their own financial companies. He lamented that Africa's political and religious leadership failed Zimbabweans. And he hailed the prospect of a Barack Obama presidency in the U.S.

Let's play ...

Let's play with numbers, just a little bit.
But first - "a human life is ... priceless"? (Innocent person without (proven) criminal record? Say it is a postulate to ponder.

In the previous post, we've seen a reckless display of usage of numbers and language - let me remind you:
"This fight is about 70,000 people who feel more affinity to Russia than they do for the breakaway state," Thompson said. "It's not the sort of fight that raises major issue for the U.S. and it's not in a strategic location to warrant our deeper involvement."
Now, lets dance! 1500 dead (no matter on which sides), out of 70.000 (he says for the region, although CIA worldfactbook states population of Gruzija/Georgia is about 4.630.841 (July 2008 est.) Now ... if we play dirty statistics (which we seem to see quite a lot, especially for commercial and political use, gosh knows why), 1.500 dead out of 70.000 (S. Ossetia) equals to roughly 2,14857 percent of the population.
Funny, the population of USA is 303.824.646 (July 2008 est.) and 2,14857 percent would mean a meaningless 6.510.646 dead people. I wonder If they'd say that It's not the sort of fight that raises major issue for the U.S. ??? (For comparison: estimates for the supposed genocide of jews, the holocaust, is now held at roughly 6 million //is the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II.)

Now let us be a bit more fair: 1500 is 'only' 0,032392 percent of the entire Gruzian/Georgian population ... but that would still mean, say, 98.414,87 dead Americans! Wicked - that's ... three times the was in Iraq! See here, it's supposedly 30.490!!!) Not a big issue ... Elections are won and lost, wars are fought for those kind of mistakes and misjudged sentences.
Yeah! In some parts of The Arabic world they would've held big celebrations, compared with those after demolition of the Death Star in Star Wars. Probably. Or to put it like that: in the Hurricane Katrina events and days that followed, supposedly 1,836 or 4,081. (Don't ask me - supposedly the numbers for holocaust are much, much smaller, thus the 9/11, Katrina, the numbers - we don't know. Or do we? The Free Masons probably do. ;) I'm evil, am I not?)

Save the RAINFOREST?

A gift on WWF

SLAP! I love ads like this one on the World Wildlife Fund page. Wicked. Thanks, Lara.

Then again - every decent (morbid/resignated) biologist will tell you that evolution just has its own path and that - THUNK - every minute a couple of species die and every day a couple -THUNK- new are discovered. The problem is - how many incredible and wonderful species have already diminished, without us even knowing?

A question of debate or morale? See, If people want to conserve the species just because of the gain (in medicine, myriads of plant species from the rainforests are used and new drugs obtained, ...), than we are, to say, a sorry lot indeed. THIS IS and should not be the question, but for some it is. But think: WE ARE MAKING STATEMENTS, every day, every minute. By what clothes we wear (who made them, how FAR they were transported, which materials used), what we eat, who we buy electricity from (from more "greener" companies or not?), what we go to work, school, cinema, ..., with.

Here's one unverified source, saying:
Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year. As the rainforest species disappear, so do many possible cures for life-threatening diseases. Currently, 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. While 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists.

So, biologists and conservational biologists and ecologists (if we deem the term appropriate) have decided: "Huh, right. Save the wales by saying yachts are in danger of being sunk? A bit of a far stretch, but OK, I'll buy it!"


And for the last moral: Most medicine men and shamans remaining in the Rainforests today are 70 years old or more. Each time a rainforest medicine man dies, it is as if a library has burned down.
When a medicine man dies without passing his arts on to the next generation, the tribe and the world loses thousands of years of irreplaceable knowledge about medicinal plants.

Vote ONE '08

Bono has something to say (the link on TED talks).
Bellow the One Vote from and for the One campaign promo video. Worth seeing.



BTW, the Bono TED prize wish (the link above on the top) is really great. Not great and Great, if you catch my drift.

ONE heart, ONE soul, ONE campaign

Dear ONE Member,

To me, a promise is a fairly simple thing. I promise to do something, then I do it. For European leaders, it seems that is not the case.

In 2005, thanks to pressure from people like you, the EU leaders promised to increase their collective spending on poverty-focused development assistance to a total of 0.56% of Gross National Income by 2010 and 0.7% by 2015. But right now, they are dangerously behind where they need to be in order to keep this promise.

We haven't forgotten their commitment, and—as ONE—we're working to get them back on track by asking European Commission President Jose Barroso to start taking the steps necessary to make sure that promise is kept.

Click the link below to add your name to the petition to President Barroso urging him to help Europe keep its promise to the world's poorest people.
http://www.one.org/international/barroso/o.pl?id=354-3921378-30G6JA&t=2

Petition text:
President Barroso,
We urge you to do all you can to ensure Europe keeps its promise and establishes concrete timetables to collectively deliver 0.56% of Gross National Income (GNI) towards development assistance by 2010 and 0.70% by 2015.
We'll deliver your message to Barroso just ahead of the summit of EU leaders in Brussels next week, where he will have an excellent chance to spur progress for fighting extreme poverty and global disease.
And we're not the only ones calling for our leaders to take action next week. In late May, the General Affairs and External Relations Council (GAERC), comprised of the European Union's Development Ministers, called for comprehensive plans for meeting poverty-fighting commitments.

Joining our voices with those coming from within the European Union is one of our best chances to pressure officials into taking action, so this is our moment. Please sign the petition to President Barroso:
http://www.one.org/international/barroso/o.pl?id=354-3921378-30G6JA&t=3
This extra reminder to leaders like President Sarkozy and Chancellor Merkel will show them that we haven't given up on their promises and nor should they. We want to encourage them to get back on track to delivering the assistance that can make such a big difference to the lives of so many—in the last few years alone this assistance has helped to give 29 million more children in Africa an education. But with 72 million children around the world still missing out on a basic education, this is no time to give up on their promises.
Thank you for helping out,

hola e viva Mehiko!

Meksicani. Mexicans. Mehicanos.

After quite a few personal encounters (one of those VERY personal, If you catch my drift;) I have come to know them as polite, friendly, crazy, out-going, extrovertial (in general more than, say, north and Scandinavic Europeans;) and lovely people that, once they get to know you, would give their arm and leg for you, should It prove necessary and useful (they're quite sharp, mind you).
A random thought, when I saw the photograph of Nancy (from the World Scout Jamboree), was that how peculiar it is the notion and perception of life and death ... across the globe.

Slovenia-ns largely, whilst being predominantly morbid and thus catholic (or is it vice-versa?;), believe and practise the solemn, grim-reaper-is-on-my-back...-or-will-be-if-I-don't-honour-my-cousins'-great-grandmother's death-anniversary sort of "worship". You can get a better idea of what I'm talking about by google-ing France Prešeren - acknowledged by many to be Slov. biggest (em. greatest as well:) poet ... WE CELEBRATE THE DAY OF HIS DEATH! Um .. why?

Mexicans and few others (nuba, aborigini, mayas, ....) celebrate death as a point in the lifes of the living and as a conclusion of one circle of the life of the deceased. They have the holiday of the dead, dia de los muertos, upon which they give each-other chocolate skulls, they dress up and, in all, celebrate the lives the deceased had been living and thus honouring them. I believe they, at the same time, cherish and praise the life as such and the fact that they are still part of the living + to drive death or better, The Grim Reapers away from the ones they care about.

Now ... where would you rather live? Or better - which philosophy would you choose to govern your own life?
I've chosen, via my dad, the latter philosophy ... which somehow doesn't tie in well with all the mourning (and moaning) and melting-the-rock-and-steel-church-at-the-cemetary-down-with-the-blaze-of-as-many-candles-one-could-still-afford.

Free smiles campaign?

SMILE FOR YOU
Smiling is infectious; you catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner and someone saw my grin
When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile then I realized its worth,
A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin, don't leave it undetected
Let's start an epidemic quick, and get the world infected!

Keep the smile going by sending this on to a friend.
Everyone needs a smile!!!


TOOO! :) Zakaj se ne bi mogli iti še free hugs & smile campaign?
The world's already a bitter place - why not make it nicer? Actually, I take it back - the world can be sour only if we, that is, our eyes of the beholders, are MAKING it look that way. (AND some ppl r still letting it be that way). Well, got news for you - it's NOT like that. YOU/ WE/ I focus on what I want to.
Tako da - dejmo naredit svet lepši;) Jaz verjamem v to. // A veste, a ste kdaj doživeli trenutek, k lahko z enim nasmehom in eno majhno prijaznostjo polepšaš človeku dan? Odgovor in rešitev je slednja: vsi čimbolj iskreni in kadar si lahko, prijazen in nasmejan do soljudi - paradise on Earth, eh?
