Emotions in making revolution. Why do we cry?

1.Fury and rage

Frantic is a good word to use in context of revolution. To believe in possibility of change to the extent of no alternatives than to find something better and revolution becomes a religion. Religion is emotional institution, faith in the unseen. To breath revolution. It is a beat and intoxicating. Faith is there to heal and take the pain away as a possibility of good and something good is on its way. A raging emotional desire to act on behalf of oneself and others. Faith sounding maybe a bit weird on any scene of revolution. Revolution somehow is seen as anti-religious and very possibly falsely so. It is a very religious movement as an institution of itself and as a monument, and it is important to know who and what to worship. And maybe decide that worshiping is out-of-order altogether.

We like to prize the idea of freedom, but we hold together in captivity.

There is a deep wound and bone is showing. Bad shape of things, what do we make of it – make it even worse, still we do other than scream. Insides of people’s heads form noisy ache of hearts and souls and of other organs.
efforts to understand how mass of people function and form units, societies and structures. Pattern is a good word here, security pattern, safe havens, nests, restricted areas, with guns to protect. How do we form ourselves with others in doing and making. Do our collective movements function well, does our collective mind have mutual understanding, empathy to care how that other is doing. Does kindness make society work, is kindness our ruling force? It has to be. Emotions having leading part in sculpting society by the minute, by every person, by every act which is felt.

GIFTS. 

With their rare prizes and to whom should these odd chemical reactions be given. 100% of emotion.

A culture of almost complete restriction of feelings sounds unrealistic. It is difficult to imagine us without emotions. They are on our faces, movements, clothes, ways of walking. In there, in us, within whatever we do there are piles of feelings, layers of them, like vegetation, but there is an illness-like inability to give them like gifts, of wanting to express them to that person near like actually caring of that other.

What we should do is give emotions, share them and yes also restrict ourselves from giving them in a hateful way. Incapability of showing emotions especially negative ones make us ill in the end so negativity is important as well. Clever ways of showing emotions.. they end, begin and end. It is strange how lost people are with their emotions.

Who is responsible for what you do? What kinds of things you feel responsible for?

She didn’t say hello to me. I have a responsibility to tell this forward just to let you know what she is like. She did something wrong which I wondered and thought was inappropriate and shameful, I feel responsible to tell this forward and let you know what she is like. Just that you know and be appalled by her. She is like that. I want to tell you she is odd. I want to tell you she does strange things that I would not do and I feel ashamed. She sounded drunk when she phoned, I wanted to tell you this just to let you know what she is like. She went to see a psychotherapist to talk about her issues, it makes me feel ashamed. To talk about your life to a stranger like that.

Celebrities take your clothes off. Have some fun! Before reproduction and marriage. Because you can. Is that all you can do?

Mass destruction (warring and whoring. What is it all about?). Ways of facing problems, problems of making politics seem vast, benefiting from politics by making war, dynamics of everyday life, diplomacy, hierarchy and protocol, means of how to build an equal society are always beyond sufficient and quick to be done.

At war there is a constant threat of killing, seeing, smelling, hearing death and getting killed. Meaning of war is to kill or get killed. To win at war is an illusion. War is performative audio-visual act of violence in which there are only victims and losers. Possible winner is the arms dealer for whom business winnings are beyond comprehension, a jackpot. Killer is a victim as is the killed.

Situation where is no alternative is victimizing, when there is an obligation to go to war. Before the act of killing killing has already happened. Who feel obligated and is obligation born out of nationalism and having honor. Victim of war propaganda, victim of brainwash, of being on a side of something against something, circumstances of politics, accidents, destiny, faith and circumstances. Victim of political game and schemes, where very often the biggest criminals deciding for wars go free and prosperously retire. At war people are forced to make murder, which is not considered normal behavior for a person with morals, dignity and appreciation for human life. Defending values and ways of life by killing is a way to make the world. In this light for whom is this world made?

Number of ongoing wars and wars fought is mind-blowing. The amount of money spent to kill seems to be secondary issue. For warring money is found, billions of it. Effects of battles to those who have battled and to those who live within and in battle fields are no doubt crucial and long-lasting. It probably can be said no one leaves a war zone unhurt. Those effects last decades and do not remain within one generation. In the US scars of World War 2 and Vietnam War are still in the process of healing. Many veterans of war have ended homeless being unable to work and support themselves. Side effects like alcoholism, depression, suicides, post-traumatic stress disorder do not heal by themselves in time. Symptoms affect not only the individual but the whole community. War does not end to declaration of peace. It continues in the minds of people, in movies, stories, cities, landscapes and in history books. Desperate acts and useless in every way, not to mention far from peaceful life on Earth.  
How much the politics of the US is actually made by corporations and owners of these corporations running I can only guess. It appears to me the most of the world is owned by corporations and politicians merely have position to execute wishes of the money men. Warring requires equipment, preparing, planning, strategy, focus, patriotism, loyalty and it makes good profit for those who manufacture arms, astronomical. The US still has an agreement with Egypt for example according to which US grants Egypt financial aid to buy American arms. The amount of money is substantial which goes straight to arms manufactures in the US. Money flow does not leave the country.

”Despite the highly secretive military budget, which the law protects from scrutiny, there are a few cases in which the public can glimpse the vast economic power contained by the Egyptian military. One such case is the economic-military agreement between the United States and Egypt. Between 1948 and 2011, the United States has provided Egypt with 71.6 billion received approximately 1.3 dollars annually in military aid from the United States. The Obama Administration requested another 1.3 billion dollars for the 2012 fiscal year.” http://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/14063/the-moral-ambiguity-of-united-states-aid-to-egypt

There is a dude and then there is a thin tablet in a picture with grayish background smiling. What do I make of this? Do I want this thing desperately?

Morals seem to be strict where there is no moral.

We are warriors.

Soldiers, fighters, people of battle, of daily combat – who is the victim here if not the one who fights constantly? How do we victimize ourselves and do we since it is a cultural norm not to place oneself on stage and show one’s hurt. It is to be hidden and to be burden of yours only. To victimize ourselves we put us in the position of needing help. Maybe we are victimized cattle at war of existence of hiding, burn marked, owned by our pain. We are supposed to be victims, knowingly, but not showing. Sacrificed and slaughtered at the altar of war daily, the daily battle of existence in pictures and anywhere. We must in order to feel empathy towards anyone first allow ourselves be empathetic to ourselves. It requires a victim to be found to feel empathy. Allow ourselves to be vulnerable and weak. It does not mean a constant self-search going in circles, ending wounded and nowhere, nor weeping about misfortunes of life, because misfortunes are there and that is it. What else would it mean? No one avoids those pitiful moments of self-loath, -hate and feeling sorry for yourself. To be merciful towards yourself would be the key of finding that happiness everyone longs for.
