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?

| Henna Timanttimetsä
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

| Henna Timanttimetsä
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.

Define perfection to me.

| Henna Timanttimetsä
Defining helps us understand. It is clear, we need to understand to make new future not repeat the old. Definitions may not be all that clear so this is a bit tricky business. The further one goes the more complex issues are tangled with each other. New things appear. Something we did not know about. Definitions require knowledge over, thorough thought, definite information and learning for them to be correct. We need definitions to be correct. We want to be accurate and sure, right? It is beneficiary for all to find out the truth, stick with the truth, plain and honest. We know that we do not know the bottom of things. Often we like to think we know. Too often. To be happy with half-truths is what we like to be, if they make our lives interesting. If we benefit from half-truths we stick with them, some of us. It is wise to be aware of almost limitless possibilities of this world of ours, almost limitless within our limits (and what in the end is ours anyway), we should be able to compare the options and be able to choose what is right. Possibilities of ours, damage we can do and the good we can achieve, what is adequate and enough.
How far can we define, endlessly. (Don’t end up going in circles. End up somewhere you have never been.) How far can and will we reach is to be seen. Some call it progress and development reaching out further and further. Does it stop at some point digging and reaching out for the precious? Do we want to educate ourselves or prove something? Till we are satisfied or till we have reached for the truth. How do we find evidence of truth, if everybody has their own? It is satisfying to be able to be sure and know something for a fact. With what kinds of tools do we define and conclude, make decisions that are far reaching, results that are unknown and what might happen. What do we ultimately do and make is to be seen. Decide our minds, set things right, our right. We use our eyes to make up truths and realities. Can we sit in the dark one day? Would it make us mad? Define darkness.
Asking whether I have scars and other personal issues.

Do you want to see my scars, some of them are visible, visible lines of tissue damage, marks of wounds that can look most anything, disturbing and unusual, broken skin. I have got welding scars, knife scars, angle grinder scar on my thumb, scars I don’t remember where I got them from. Nothing very serious nor large, but they are there, accidents, slips of my hand. I have come to this topic of defining perfection since perfection of some kind defined, calculated, cloned, cut, force-fed and decided is what we seek and look for to find and have, an impossible and a dream. Such as perfect skin and complexion seem to be and are the first things we like to pay attention to, proportions, measurements, comparison. All people have their own ideas of perfection and they wish to find it in other people. Things we see in each others and in ourselves, things we like or find repulsive is a little bit a mystery to me. Maybe we look for symmetry and harmony in appearance. The more mysterious it becomes is when I am under a looking glass myself and there is a flaw in me someone dislikes. What is my perfection if I have any code nor knowledge over infinite truth of human perfection.

One thing are the mistakes you pay attention to so closely. They pop out, jump on your face and say I am not perfect.

 

Do I kill myself, do I destroy myself? What is art for me other than constant rebirth.

| Henna Timanttimetsä
Is it like going through my birthing without recollection of it, only with the sense of force of how it happened. How it might have happened and am I become always different. Force of birth became me, which lit me up and it puzzles me, force of new in me, of comfort, uncomfortable and the never present fulfilment. The moment, the happening, faces, noises, appearing and thoughts of my birth, my red face in a photograph. Me coming onto this earth, unexpectedly. I was allowed to be born, let out, led to instructions and be without them. I allow myself be born over and over again. What do I make of myself is a plan, map and is spontaneous pain and joy of making from scratch. I never know the complete result of me. There is work to be done.

Scary Arms. Who is scared? Offensive yes.

| Henna Timanttimetsä
Weapons of choice, when and how to use them. The so-called hatchet, which I never had, actually, in the first place. Manner of speech, to hold weaponry, which is imaginary, old-fashioned and very strange. I still don’t possess such retarded methods. I tend to fight in different manner. If you lose, blame yourself. Your weapons reveal you and put you down. I say my way is effective. I’m sure you have noticed. More so, my direct action is effective by trusting immaturity and greed of the crowd (I have no need to flatter you either). 

To live is to learn, and it is wiser to act otherwise than by the traditional bloodshed, ill and isolation techniques used by many people, people who consider themselves above and educated, civilized and extraordinary. Some even call themselves intellectuals. Your status nor friends do not make you an intellectual. 

How to describe an intellectual? Intellect is something many people like to say they have. It is a reason to diminish and discard, the lack of it, the definitions of clever, wise and smart and how does thinking or lack of it show. To be intellectual takes more than wanting position and recognition. It also takes something that most are not willing to do, to oppose people who have power. It takes intransigent will to change the world and it takes sacrifice. One has to be ready of not being liked. It takes integrity, honesty, constant learning, sincerity and yes intellect.
 
It is strange how guilt and blame are placed upon the person who is persecuted and the reasons why someone is hunted can be irrational. The person who has the fault of being different, the one who is hit again and again because she dares to say against. Time to bury the hatchet one might ask. Someone else is holding such medieval weapon and I am sorry for it. Poor you.
 
Forgiveness, which is meant by saying burying weapons, forgetting maybe. I do not forgive something that is meant to kill me, something that is meant to dehumanize me, dishonor me and put me to a place of somewhere below and unworthy. 
Nor it is good to forgive when one is not asked for forgiveness. So be afraid, because I do not give in. I know on which side I am and what is my path.

For the art scene I say this, you truly have shown your skin. It is fucking ugly. I have nothing but distrust for you and whatever you do inside your circle. My deepest contempt. Do you see yourselves how much hate you have? People who do not see themselves are lost.

Do we all know what is bad leading and do we know the concept of democracy? Is it applied democracy, or facade and a phrase, manner of speech to make the speaker sound like a good guy with good intentions, democracy a thing like honey, to which we are reaching but do not have.

| Henna Timanttimetsä

People want democracy, but people do not vote. People want prosperity, but do they want all to prosper? When we talk about democracy, we think the self-evident, freedom, wealth, health care, welfare, equality, work, education and so on. Good things, easy living, peaceful society with benefits and enjoyment of life. If people choose they are not interested in politics and do not use their vote, what happens? I think the result is happening now.
I use the word democracy, not in the ancient meaning that there would be some who are allowed to vote (free men) and those who are not allowed to vote and take part (slaves and women). I use the word democracy in the meaning that everyone has a voice and power. It is up to everyone individually to decide how to use that power of his/hers. To live in a system that is based on a noble idea of participation and trust should be easy. Do we have that kind of political system in use or only on idea level? That the one you give your vote does and works for what he or she promises to.

Politics today is done poorly partly because those who are interested in voting are conservative conformists and lean too much on religion in their decision-making. Too many people boycott elections, do not participate and follow what goes on in the world. Conservatives have an active role in molding society. Why do they always seem to be the ones with the assets, say over and connections? Why CEOs are listened to as political advisers? Well because we are run by economy and business and we want salesmen stars to give advise how to make a fortune. Corporal rulers are very loud, opinionated and listened to. Good performers are luring, so is power. As politics so is business a stage act. If people, the average men and women think the current system/s is/are rotten and does/do not represent him/her, the people, but the interests of the politicians and corporations, what kind of system would do representing better? Who would represent you best? Or is politics about representing the nation and interests of a nation? Are interests of nations interests of the people of the nation?

Change is coming and there is no other way!

| Henna Timanttimetsä
Feminist movement Femen is fighting on the streets facing fascists, ordinary street men, politicians as well as the police, who continually arrest bare breasted women shouting Fuck your morals, God is a woman, Ukraine is not a brothel, in gay we trust, Nudity is freedom! Strength of such fearless action and devotion to the cause is impressive, appreciated and joyfully effective. Feminism should be exactly that and in there, on the streets, in demonstrations, during world cups which lure prostitution to flourish, in places where world leaders meet to make people in suits face anger, attacking fashion shows to let them who exploit hear out those who really have an important message: Listen to those whom you abuse! We are many and we force you to listen. Feminism is activism, sextremism, distraction, interruption, disturbance of status quo and destruction of seemingly comfortable balance breaking that clean surface. It is an unforgiven demand in itself and notion that women have to take their place to be heard, fearlessly speak out standing tall. Feminism is demanding abolishment of sex trade, acknowledgement of the problems which women globally face, abolishment of sexism and punishment for it, concrete separation of church and state, legalization for access to free and safe abortion, women to have decision over their bodies, punishments for rapists to be heavier than they are. It is demand for respect and dignity. Feminism is demanding human rights and lasting social change to all human beings, environment and animals. It is one of the most important global movements at the moment and the importance of change shows in the way Feminists are treated. Importance of attitude change is immediate. Importance of finding conformity a repulsive tool of oppression and fascism. Importance of learning how fascism works today and manifests itself daily in ways of monitoring, dictating, suppressing and manipulating. Place of women is displayed by showing hate against women, against Feminism, stigmatizing those who dare to speak up and act against oppression. It is one of the most important issues globally to make concrete change to better lives and rights of women, minorities and children. Situation is angering and change is slow. Hierarchy, power and position of church is immense dictating places of genders, how people should live, what is right and wrong. Religions and dictators are obstructing development of human rights for people to achieve better quality of life, better treatment and appreciation of women and children as individuals and people. I see divisions very clearly anywhere, personally and generally and I refuse to be what I should be by my gender traditionally, ordered by someone who is to be above me. I can do nothing but go against. Change is coming and there is no other way.

Natura – Secrets of women

| Henna Timanttimetsä

Vulva is a door. It is a sow and woman riding it. She lifting her skirt with dagger in her hand. Sight chases the demons away. Pit of chastity, of virtue, entry, passage way, vestibule, horns of Uterus, Fallobian tubes, Interforamireum, space between two holes. Genitalis Mueliebris Ambitus. There was a time when female genitalia had no shame, women didn’t have to be ashamed of their body.
