What is holy? Are there different kinds of holy creatures?

What is holy, sacred, when nothing seems to be? Do we have to find it over and over again? Is it a matter of decision and choice? Are there things that are equally holy and precious globally? Is holiness connected with religion and godliness? Something we have been given power to create naturally, but we do not have power to take away because life is one’s own. We think it, nature has holiness, and we are created by someone divine because it is in us and we are absolute beauty, a connection to spiritual world and we are given a gift of life. If that is the case why do we take power to destroy that something made by divine force.

Could accidents, coincidence, how things lead to one another be the ultimate sacred? Uncontrollable that we can only pray for and watch what happens next. We obviously are not very capable of knowing what will happen eventually. We like to play with fire. Learning what that other person is all about would be giving credit to the importance and preciousness of that other. What holy actually means now is a bit of a mystery to me. If people who say life is holy do not defend all life, but select some pieces of the puzzle of human life-like the unborn child to protect and preserve, how do they choose and prioritize value of any life, anyone’s life.

All good and worth while is about to come out. We just have to let it. It is pure and innocent for a little while, an unborn child and then born infant who has not done anything but was started up by chain reactions, random actions and desires. Actions become valid as the baby grows and learns, actions of the baby and what that baby will become. It is a good phrase and a golden image to use to wash oneself clean of any sin to have a desire to protect a child. An imaginary child. Protect that part of holiness of life that actually does not have any connection to the speaker other than desire to appear good. Of course it is holy, even the act of sex is holy and it is one’s own, desire is holy. In the straight world holy has marketing value in political game.

Miracle and holiness is that we do not know all of it how things will go.

Art and act of seeing

The thought that violence solves something prevails. Violence on the internet, in the news, in Europe and in the Middle East. Are there things that combine all the on going slaughter?

Violence does make a clear statement. To use violence is a competition of who will win. Battle that can take a lot of lives, dollars, destroyed cities and energy that could be used more wisely if man was wise, history that will be not be forgotten. That hurt brings justice, puts people in their place and gives satisfaction of revenge and power is a dead end. It has proved itself that violence brings more violence. Some people like it that way. It is provoking way to live, beg for it, to fight like it was the meaning of existence and some kind of destiny that repeats itself no matter what the circumstances, platforms, dilemmas and arms. Now is the golden age of arms dealers. It has been so many decades and to manufacture most imaginable artillery and machinery to kill is a substantial employer and money making strategy that has no limit in the horizon. There is no stop to it unless someone stops it, this madness. Regulation of arms sales is difficult, almost impossible. Someone has to be a person who runs a state and decide how it is run. Protect it. It is protected with arms. Leader as a dictator and as a head of state has power to decide whether the state attacks, invades, oppresses or violates people anywhere. Reasons to attack seem distant until it happens.

Thought that violence would do anything to make things better in the future and good for any nation is an idea of man that cannot live with what he has got, cannot forgive and let go of hurt, does not want his people to thrive but wants to create a power nation. Mental and physical violence are constant and threatening even to people who read the news somewhere of what is happening over there in Ukraine, Sudan, Eritrea, Egypt, Russia, Afghanistan etc. that violence would ease a pain caused, bring a stable and powerful state, keep people as they are wanted to be, obedient and silent. By using force over anything is a weird thought, that destruction would give power, be a win. Retaliation to bring peace, democracy, equality and respectability. It seems so that religious fanatics cause the most wars, religious fundamentalism, disagreements between religious tribes and camps, religious rights, who has the right to kill in the name of God and what kind of God allows killing in his or her name. Are those war-loving Gods men themselves, bearded and muscular, righteous, ancient and angry. Never giving in nor changing. God that wants us to live the ancient times over and over.

HD and the ability of seeing

What do we see?

Do we not see? We do not see enough. Did you see that? Can you tell me what did you see.

What is it we do not see? We fail to see? Is there too much to see? Could you see my point of view? Could you understand how I see? I am not sure if I see as you do. Why do you see as you do? What affects your ability of seeing? How much technology helps us to see better? Does it merely frame and distract and make things look better than they are?

How seeing and thinking are connected? In a way we appreciate and value the things we are surrounded by and look at or don’t. We toss things aside so we don’t see them anymore, but they do not seize to exist even though we push them aside. What do we praise as beautiful? Advertising, moving images, fashion, cars and how these things expand or lives and experiencing it?

Visual world is much the one we make. Something is lost. I am constantly bothered by it and the question why we make as we do. What do we want to see and what is considered valuable visually, visual content, visual material, visual us. How value is measured, with money or peace of mind tranquility which follows experiencing beautiful environment? Because all people do not have beautiful environmental experience daily, it seems they are not worth it and they cannot afford it. More and more environment has to be granted like a gift not as a human right.
