Such unwritten moral codes – I have not figured out what they actually are, but they exist never the less. Somehow I just fail to believe you.

Fighting giving meaning in us, for us to structure the world and make it maybe simpler, maybe better. Fights making us and making us do good and bad. To write about good and evil, it is clear to me that I stand on the side of good. Why is that so clear? Does my origin, ideas, gender, age, skin color, profession(s), art, deeds, tell how good a person I am? What deeds, characteristics tell my quality of goodness or evilness? That is what I think now, because I’m not so sure. What is good and just, it is that I have chosen to realize and do as I see fit and they serve me, my idea of good for me. Do I take rest of the world into consideration in my goodness? To choose and accomplish, it is a question of self and losing self, to not make only what your self desires, not only letting your need want you to want. Decide what is good. Tastes good, makes you feel good. Is my body that decides since I must eat, sleep and drink? It decides much for me as do my feelings. My feelings and sentiments, gut tell me which paths to follow. It tells me something about good, what might be good.
There is bitterness and hurt. In political game there is always much to gain. Power corrupts has been proved true many times over. To make a revolution benefit everyone not first financially but emotionally and mentally is an ideal and to make people learn from mistakes of theirs and others would be the best revolution ever.
What kind of revolutions are at hand now? Technological advancements are spreading fast and doing just that, revolutionary evolution of man firstly on level of ideas and how ideas are put to use. Is there anything natural about it what we are experiencing now and what is the revolution part? There is no exact beginning nor end. Changing our ways of interacting, working and living is research that is interesting in terms of how we make our lives. How well do we cope with dramatic changes and altering of everyday life. It is a fast modification happening, which requires altering of habits and patterns of our thinking. Making the globe more democratic than ever, accessible. Is everyone accessible? Even the word change expects something of the individual. Emotional involvement, subjective experience, determination, devotion and work.
Human development is a complex process and it is hugely neglected by everyone, double oops. This is my claim. Hugely neglected are also human possibilities. There can be a dad who looks at his child and says out loud: that child is going to be trouble, that child will not be anything. I ask Why do you hate your child? Everyone will be something, but what, and what are people suppose to become and be is a good question. It is very common, believe it or not, to judge and treat children of your own by the most harsh ways. There is no way for anyone to know what will be, but parents are creating paths for their children which they can follow if he/she believes what parents or anyone close by is saying. So what to believe? Yes it is a cruel world, but oh there are ways to make it less cruel and the ways are very simple. They require kindness and an open mind at least. Is it too much to ask? Such a thing does not cost a thing.
You do not have kindness in your heart, learn it. It goes like this: how can I do and say things that would cause the least hurt. If you do not know what someone else is thinking or you see there are problems ASK if you can do something.
It does not absolutely mean you have to be mother Teresa, but it would not hurt to do things like her. Sometimes it just means shut the fuck up. You think ill, because it is fun for you, don’t let it out and fun is overrated. There is enough bullshit already.
We have gaps and barriers to block, what do they open? What we want to stay hidden? Hidden how? Trying to comprehend modern guilt, excluding, grouping, friendship, forming of identity and feeling of being lost.
Are categories of taste obvious? They exist no matter what, they exist because people like different things, there is nothing but difference, or do we categorize to taste, make things simpler, to make the distinction more obvious, to tell what we are and what we are not. Good or bad? Is that it?
Is it too obvious what is mainstream? It is popular, popularity, liked, listened, watched, enjoyed, consumed, used, available, everywhere, inescapable, to be there, but I am here and I want to know what is me.
Marginal is opposite to most of that or all of that. Where is outside it is allowed to get uncomfortable, invent. What kind of people follow, what kind of talk follows. Labeling, putting people into groups, it has a role. It has a distinct part in individualizing us to be one but not, because we want to be unique and state it, identities of ours fight against community wanting to be part of the fun active buzz as strong individuals excluding community or forgetting what community does and could be. Quite a contradiction and battle.
Feelings arise in a world like this. Feelings of frustration, anger, hate, anxiety, sadness, distress. Such emotions are considered negative and not to be publicly shown if anywhere. They are if wisely used material in understanding oneself. Thought is and should be why do I feel this way. Why do I hate so much that I feel like smacking that person I do not know. If one is grown into these feelings from early on without possibility to learn to understand them, they will eat you alive. If the environment is landscaped with negativity, depression and future does not look too bright how can a person begin to understand patterns of human behavior, why things happen as they do, what is my purpose in all this. How to avoid cynicism, grow a healthy self-esteem or healthy caring relationships?
How to understand how we make culture. Where does it come from, what does it do, how does it evolve, what is my part in all this. What do we call culture, see as worthy cultures, how does worth begin? Why am I asking these questions is because there is a need for conversation every day to go through what can I do, what can anybody do and what is creativity for anybody. Conversations with myself and with others. My task is to find different kinds of solutions and channels to be creative. Where do we start, how do we evaluate ourselves and how does that impact on what we do and what we can do.
I measure myself from a perspective that I put myself into and I am put into. It is a curious installation-performance-act of daily maneuvers and assumptions. Mind game kind of play that goes on in terms of how I should be, how I see myself and how do I want to be. I have a strong feeling that even though I very much decide what I do, I’m not fully in charge. I unconsciously and consciously censor myself. There is a terrible need for others, people who do not even know me, put person like me in a certain place and frame. It is terrible, because I think it is common, very much a norm behavior to be a controller of others. It is an atmosphere of not much needs to be said, but we know what is normal, how things should be done. Expectations and all that. It is a solid foundation to begin a change of attitudes and behavior towards each other. This is basis to my subject revolution, when is it and what is it.
when you have friends like that you do not need enemies ( the middle (what is in between?)) in a system of closed systems acting up ahaha i don’t think I’m up for it. How open can one be and what is acceptable.

Abolishing blind spot, which is the place in the eye one cannot see with. How do you abolish blind spot the metaphor? But it is useful. So don’t. When it could be your whole world, or half of it or it is the most important thing you could have but you fail to see and acknowledge it? Blindness? Abolishing skin, sex, gender, age, appearance, what things there are to demolish in humans and their behavior? Why must things unwanted be demolished and how? How do you become to value something? How do you find value of your own? To learn to value life in its multitude.
Woman’s work is never done! That’s the way it is.
Banality is the aim and means, the relief of life in life and from it. Mediocrity analyzed to the bits or looking like it is, analyzed. Maybe what we see is a result of deep analyzes leaving the results and effects to our minds outside of it, of the analysis that is the basis of doing, as everything is sharply calculated and executed. Mind is the most important thing only as a creating master mind, but what is the mind of the receiver there for. Mind of the receiver is passive, passer-by, powerless acceptor. Would it be in general, average statistics put in real life, and we are settling to what comes easily, just like that. Statistics can be quite curvy, far from banal, so it is weird the equation of what is actually being made is based on statistics and consultant evaluations.
A person who does the statistics worth while to foresee things affordable to do is like the librarian, quiet grey and boring office mouse (engineer, official) or is he/she the hero, an expert, a specialist, since that person is showing a piece of truth of some kind and giving advisory graph? Contrasts in this picture are amusing and likable, stereotypes. Building stereotypes, unfading. Someone exploring life from the far and making it a diagram, so we all can see what is going on in here, really. It is also interesting how such people called mice are looked at. How their lives are less, because they stay still, sit still, enjoy the still and the noise is far away to be examined. The grey people. People of colour unite. I’m trying to build a house that looks like people.

We visit and leave. It is not like we should get amused by narrow and low, grey and white.
Bricks, brick wall, piles of bricks aside the road promising stability and forthcoming work. As I have compared brick walls built over a hundred years ago to this day, the difference is astonishing. Of course we now have the element building strategy. It has made constructing fast and highly machined heavy-duty. The differences between times strike me, they hit me. Differences between wealth, health, strength and endurance of people, society and houses. It use to was self-evident to pay attention to detailed work, to detail, which slowness of doing made possible as also will and ability to build in a decorative variable way. Now we do not have the money nor time. Contrast is puzzling and the common statement of not having time nor money. People in general had less both hundred years ago. Were they less afraid or did they have more appreciation towards life in general and how our actions effect to life of others?
It is a different time with different values and we are in a hurry. The way we build tells that story. Tale of no time, things being done in very little time, but with massive volume. People are treated the same way as massive volume moving cash. We are units of bringing in and taking. To give takes an effort especially voluntarily and without cost. But still in the name of good. We have a religion of good. We yearn the cream to be poured into our mouths.

Measurements for success in largeness, interviews, visibility, figures, counted as how much. Nothing is enough is the ultimate capitalist will to live and kill and that to be seen as strength. Lust for Speeding, search for novelty and winnings is dictated by corporal yearly financial functions followed closely by the press. Only massive growth is good enough. As fashion is circulating through winter, spring, summer and fall collections, it is tightly followed by most of us. What to wear, where and with what. Such accessories as phones go nicely along with the burning picture of the burning world.

To set the world on fire, world that already is burning. World existing in flames, in heat, burn, destruction. What is a burning world a metaphor for? Human energy, evilness, rush of blood, I’m not sure, it means different things for different people, different contexts, excitement, fever, lust.
Final observation; use of power by definition is a rule, defining master mind, master race, center of masters, defining weakness. If definitions are tools for us in order to understand, it would be good to know what it is exactly one needs to understand.
Do people ever learn? No they don’t. If there is someone to be put down, that one person will be put down to make way to those who think are strong, only because they think they are mighty, them. What actual human strength is, is as misleading concept as freedom. Note: Apologies are not accepted.
final conclusions final solutions are never-ending deng ding dong.
