Inheritance of filth.

Is it a situation of the more problems accumulate and getting piled up than sorted and dealt with? As it seems problems we are dealing with are with heavy baggage passed forward. Passed on as long as it has been possible and mess having gone over the top but out of sight, and we have gone way beyond the tipping point and load has erupted all over for those who can sort it out in the best possible way try their very best? Which way is the best possible would be that for example loans too heavy to bear should be pardoned not to destroy nations but to give them a chance to recover as soon as possible. But when will the lesson be learned if debts are not paid in full? Lessons in politics have to change more straightforward to those who make the mistakes to make corruption and reckless administration impossible. Those who do politics are the ones to know they are indebted when they betray people’s trust and bring their nation to bankruptcy. Is this what happens when people do not use their voices, do not vote, do not trust the government, do not pay taxes, do not give to the community but keep all possessions and money made themselves? It is an economy of complete negligence, indifference, short-sighted fortune-seeking with no end for those fortunate ones who have played their cards well and vanished with the money.

It is comical to speak about inheritance since it firstly brings to mind riches, exploitation and something good gained via bad, given that it all belongs to the children after parents pass away, pain does not vanish, innocence is an interesting idea. Does memory play tricks on us? Inheritances come in all kinds of forms. Europe has such gruesome and vile legacy of amnesia and denial to feel astonishing numb and partly it is understandable people wish to forget our near history completely and they do forget. When spoken there is ominous silence and thought of how dare you remind us. How dare I indeed for example speak of Holocaust, it not having gone anywhere, fascism that has gone into hiding, unbeaten, fascism that to me is very clearly alive in economy and becomes more and more obvious the more arrogant and demanding corporations get and the more brutal the recession and its makings appear. We do use things basically made by slaves far away and it is easy to ignore the fact in our beautiful hygiene, indifference, wealth and modern serenity. It is easy to pose with gadgets that bring value to their owners and corporations selling them in beautiful packages. Corporations that use workers as items to be disposed when not needed anymore. Oh we just made such a good deal with Microsoft and after a while they are sacking thousands. How bloody strange Nokia.

First you shred a picture in a shredder, pictures, as many as you have, maybe all of them. You can do it by hand, tear a picture into little pieces. Then you put the pieces back together and look at the picture. Crunch it, it starts to look like the picture experienced something. Experiences of a picture. There is never a good time, there is never a decent time, there is never enough time, so you can do it now. Hopefully you have a shredder. As long as parts get together in order, they get what they need in form of see-through tape, see through tape, togetherness of pieces, end of loneliness of shreds, glue in hands, glued.

People who put their all in a shredder for whatever reason and end up putting things shredded back together again hoping things would be better, the same or at least become something whole, some kind of result and an event of making an effort. Like true love, whatever that is other than hard work, maybe it is more true, when broken and put back together again, light and revelation, fixing something broken. It must be the kind of love between mother and child in an equation, that the mother loves her child and does not put her child in to pieces.

How to keep your child whole, unbroken but not like an image or why should you keep your child from harm? Over-protection can do an awful lot of damage. How closely can you adjust the pieces that belong next to each other? Something has to be broken. Do we have to get something missing also? To have a reason to look ahead.

When power is manifested in what one can buy, by outer traits and with machines to kill power means one has all the means to take lives, a god-like leader without superpowers though. A super power is to maintain, protect and give life, not take it. It takes something else to be super, superb. Decide for lives placing threats power stands on sand and is scared despite the posing and size also fragile, but still the kind of masculine aggressive physical power is probably most effective in a world where there is much to lose and some assets to gain. To get what one wants aggression can be the most effective way to behave, sadly. And sadly getting rich is what most people desire.

What comes to women and men we have the idea of who have physical power, who bond with each other and often we know why they bond. Still why is it that men need that feeling of group backing up for them. Could it be weakness? It is a strange thought that bunch of men against one woman can actually beat that woman and they will because they can. It is an everyday scene to show this little ability, backbone and strength as it is common for people to group against. one person. What kind of superpower does that one person have to be so threatening? I wonder.

Your guns, your freedom? Your fears are your jail. Arms are power, without power what are we?

https://www.oxfam.org/en/campaigns/why-we-need-global-arms-trade-treaty ”Every day, millions of people suffer from the direct and indirect consequences of the irresponsible arms trade: thousands are killed, others are injured, many are raped, and/or forced to flee from their homes, while many others have to live under constant threat of weapons.”

How is it that there are striking similarities between men’s rights groups and associations that fight for American right to own and manufacture firearms? Arguments those both entities use are somewhat similar. There is nothing there for these groups to consider that should be different in what they do and how they think. Threats come from the outside and threaten a way of life, sovereignty and freedom to defend oneself with firearms. To bear a gun is therefore a human right. It is a scary world where one is forced to change even though the enemy does not look peaceful and to be without bullets is like being naked. There are enemies everywhere for people who are dreadfully frightened and scared of losing and surrendering. This small defenceless individual does not wish anything to change, least himself. One can ask why is that? Lobbying for weapon industry, the money flow and jobs it creates? God made him perfect so why change and money weapon industry makes is fabulous. People have all kinds of rights but to bear a gun is not on my list. Arguments used have correlation to being seriously offended by what that other person just said all the time, because minds are made up and somethings just are solid as a rock.

Similarities are there when gun owners feel threatened by someone telling it is not right to threaten security and future of mankind, meaning security of others. Those others by whom the chosen ones with weapons are threatened by. It is not right or even good for you to eat meat every day, it is not hugely correct not to regulate arms trade (results are there open wide), yes it is good to feel secure, but if guns are the only thing that make you feel secure there is seriously something wrong. Alarm bells should be ringing at your end in a different way. Those who defend their right to bear arms as much as they wish do not see themselves a s threat. Why is that? Is it because God is on their side? So far there have been extremely few attacks against the US on their soil. Nobody has been threatening their independence nor their manufacturing or owning of arms. Only threat there against the US is themselves. It is an upside down world where self-reflection could actually do a lot of good.

It is also curious how American lobbyists for freedom to bear arms affect the whole world. There are quite many threats and continues to be as arms do not lessen the threats. Logic is not on your side. Arms do not make you secure, they create an atmosphere of threat and fear, atmosphere of death and distrust. It is interesting how the United States is frightened over Iran having a nuclear bomb. Yes it is scary and rearmament is not stopping because threats are not going anywhere as long as weapon trade cannot be regulated. It is made hugely difficult when UN is the mighty authority and nations with serious military power do not vote for regulation. Some things never change one might think and that is especially nations with macho attitude and a way of life to protect. It is ironic how a way of life is affecting the whole world and the wall is right ahead into which a way of life is driving rather fast.

Trauma the word is something that should not be used as it is so personal. We cannot reveal our trauma and we have to act we don’t have any. Trauma the experience and burden is what we all have.

Yes it is a psychological term and to psychologize is probably what I should avoid doing since I am not a therapist, but there is an outcry for psychotherapy. Hurt caused is very telling. People who are not able and willing to accept variety of people, complex psychology and intellect of people, want to inflict hurt for their reasons which are primitive and old. We can get traumatized quite easily depending on what we are used to receiving from others. People who are not protected by anyone can grow fierce fighters depending what kind of point of view they have on not being protected and cared for. One can see it as a loss that has to be felt bitter about or something one cannot do anything about and move on. Attitude is an important tool but to accept one’s vulnerability and weakness play an important role as well in getting ahead and accepting one’s solitude. Position of inferior should not be accepted as such. We are alone in this because we have to find our own place on our own. Trauma is the very thing that can drag us down for years and we can dwell in it if we don’t get help in finding other kind of way to think. Violence continues when there are no other kinds of solutions taught and available. Severity of trauma experienced and survived can be unbelievable. We are also amazingly tough what comes to enduring. To show toughness can become a shield against the world. Our ways to protect ourselves are there for a good reason. We are under constant attack and threat. The ways of being sensitive, having a sensitive mind are many. To be sensitive towards what that other is going through takes wisdom that many don’t have. The question did you get a trauma and get traumatized has a severe diminishing attitude towards being sensitive and getting hurt. To say out loud things that hurt is a starting point in making a change in attitude atmosphere. People can be unaware of what hurts, which is itself the unbelievable factor. They have to be given the experience of hurt for them to feel what it feels like to be insulted, therefore self-defense is important! Learn to defend yourself.

Sorry I don’t believe in turning my other cheek. I hit back because otherwise nothing would have changed for me. Best retaliation is humiliation and win with wits. People are cowards which is the biggest disappointment and also an easy target. People who do not know themselves are easy targets. It is easy and cowardly to shout out your opinion hiding behind a false identity or from within safety of a group of similar minded assholes.

We are not supposed to get hurt by words, by insults, by being stepped over, living under pressure of false ideas of gender, under body of bigotry and hate. Why there is such cult of strength that prevents us from showing vulnerability? Idea of boys don’t cry is heavily planted also in me. To be a girl was for some reason a weakness. I am not to talk about hurt caused, inflicted, not supposed to speak about unjust experiences because I must endure and fight, stand up for myself. Well I must, there is no one else to do it. That is the sad part. One can stand very alone in situation of attack and finding that inner strength to defend oneself over and over again is a miracle which notion itself keeps me going. I have got strength and power, a revelation.

Trauma caused and felt is there what everybody has to go through. Children cannot and should not be protected from it because we hurt and we must learn to deal with hurt. Hurt we experience and we cause. When hurt becomes so big it comes difficult to breath, mental health has been under severe pounding. Anxiety and difficulty to breath normally are symptoms that should not be taken lightly. Our minds are connected to our bodies and issues of mind cause physical pain and symptoms that can be serious and long lasting. Problems of mind are still undervalued even though it is our most important part, our brain. It does not heal fast nor easy. When you start messing with someone’s mind results are expensive, tragic and difficult to repair. It is very common to think mental problems are inferior and we should just bear our mental pain. As much as intellect is emphasized in our Western culture we are not using it. We are torturing brain and not using them fully. What comes to evaluating someone’s intellect it is the most common way to put down someone by giving judgments of intellect, women’s intellect, black intellect, children’s intellect. Many see intellect within a narrow frame judged by outer traits. My blond hair, gender, clothes, and looks do not define my intellect. How do my professions define my intellect?

To endure mental pain to certain extent is necessary for survival. This is my view and experience. Sorrow, loss, loneliness, heartbreak and all the negative emotion are there for a reason, not to escape but to learn from. They are there to tell us something, not that life sucks and why this is happening to me, it happens to all. It does not mean bullying and torture should be accepted, emotions tell us to act. How do you act enraged or when do you hate? Your negative emotions are not to make others feel bad too. Emotions can be channeled to do something, but what? Taking the easy way of dealing with complex issues you cannot deal with is where people obviously need guidance. Kindness and will to understand take work and effort many are not willing to take up and pass on. How to understand yourself, why you do what you do, what do you wish to accomplish with your actions? People are lazy and much rather pass on the negative experienced and felt projecting their world view on quite many people. I ask you to be responsible adults in a world filled with hate and bloodshed. It takes true strength to apologize and act differently. Listen and pay attention.

To be a woman of action does it still mean denying femininity?

15 kesäkuun, 20156 maaliskuun, 2018 | Henna Timanttimetsä

As it happens women who pursue work that requires/means physical stress measured as getting dirty, sweaty, working with your hands wearing overalls, mask and gloves, lifting things, moving and making something that needs one to work with whole of body adding problem solving to work are thought to lose something of their femininity. Rationality and innovation with capable hands is for some reason not something women have. Idea of what women are and can be still lives in the 20th century dragging behind infuriating. Women who are doing something that is not traditionally their area to work at, to be expert at without question is seen obscure like an absurdity in every day. Strangely work for women which is to be for some reason clean, neat, ’easy’ and allow cute clothes is really an invention of the modern times and place that used to belong to upper class women who at best did nothing but things that were strictly theirs for some reason by nature, by their gender and by their class, so a privilege. Nowadays to me privilege is to be able to do work that one desires to do and most people want to work. To be absolutely idle to which we in our easy living fantasy dream about, is hopefully just a dream and an impossibility. Those unemployed rarely are happy about their idle existence.

Nature is regularly referred to when talking about women. Women are physically weaker than men and division is made clear what are chores for women. Strength and power are male characteristics physically and mentally which as such is an appalling stereotype and false. Men feel attacked and put down when women enter work that traditionally is labelled for men. This I have experienced many times myself. My work effort as my capabilities are diminished and questioned over and over. Here applies again the strange truth how people do not believe other than their bias and what they think is true. That unchangeable solid truth of theirs is so unwavering it can be changed only by huge amount of proving, maybe not even then. How slowly our world changes even though our technological advancement is rapid. Even those who have high degrees in science to my surprise are very biased what comes to women in science and art. That slowly movable wall strikes as what the fuck is it there for. Such highly educated people who hold dear the world order of theirs where just to have a Ph.D. is enough to tell how knowledgeable, refined, correct and justifiable they are and see their points of views unchangeable and undeniable. Offence is to follow, no doubt, when questioned.

What is hip and cool and why do we pay attention to the at the moment hip and cool phenomenons and trends knowing they do change all the time and the most hip and cool are those who do their thing disregarding the fashion of hip and cool? Do you know what I mean? For example making applications for the sake of making applications is a now-thing, but it is probably over quite soon, because who actually needs them. More important would be to ask why be hip and cool when you can be thoughtful, innovative, active maker, do many things in your life disregarding do they make you a fortune, things that have other kinds of meanings than what they appear outside and not do because it is your place which is decided by others but because you want to.

To my surprise younger generations to me are very often not taught to do basic chores at home at all. If it is so that parents do every day nuisance such dishes and cleaning for their kinds, boys and girls, how does it change our world of work? Will we have maids to do those inconvenient things that are dirty and low, unappreciated work chores? Robots?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/soraya-chemaly/what-exactly-does-its-a-mans-world-mean_b_7454660.html?utm_hp_ref=tw ”It’s a shame our society generally fails to teach girls to have higher expectations and boys not to feel threatened by their realization. The worst part about people’s responses to the suggestion that we find ways to address women’s needs in public spaces was the reality of many women’s low expectations and desire not to offend anxious and angry men.”

How to change situations of people for the better? Is it a question of who defines what is good to anybody without asking the people?

How do you do a sexual revolution within a culture that in many places violently oppresses people especially women and children? Where one easily loses one’s life for objecting and confronting the regime, religious fundamentalists, media that is in short leash. Big money and absolute power that cannot be questioned and put under magnifying glass because this absolute power has God’s authority is doing an enormous amount of harm and damage. Authority that family institution, religion and men have is keeping countries from evolving wasting human resources. Leaning on traditions, bias, unjust power conventions and punishing practices, unjust definitely against girls and women who are denied schooling, careers, decision-making in politics, rights to their bodies and lives is everyday and obviously deadly prospect when doing and saying against. What is human life worth? Has somebody put a price on it?

Irony lies in the impressive and long history of Arab world which has been more tolerant that Christian world has shown to have been. Why such bigoted, short-sighted, oppressive culture that reigns in many Arab nations now is possible? Why ruling via violence and revenge is allowed? To kill and torture all those who stand against is lunacy and against any worth while conception of justice. Brutality is not work of anything holy.

How about an army of women?
