happy day everyday to all my DA friends ]]> ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/8066464/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/8066464/ Sat, 04 Mar 2006 15:23:40 PST ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7868450/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7868450/ Sat, 11 Feb 2006 20:41:42 PST and yet we are responsible for what we are

drinking deep the wine of your memory
blow your love with the wind to me
hope the angels are caring for you in Paradise

indeed, what i should recognise and acknowledge is the person and not his belonging to another culture, and this is because each individual has his/her own dignity. his membership maybe a reason of pride, but may also be a cause of indignity.
astonishingly, this intercultural communication includes power relations that may be indignifying, especially when there are past incidents of humiliation. this will be clearer when those two parts are from America and the arab world. the former is urging the universality of americanisation, which is just another component of the overwhelming globalisation process, so intolerant of cultural diversities.
but who gave America this right to speak in the name of universal understanding?
arrogant America went out to Iraq not to spread democracy but to dominate and capture by violent force. at it heart is the humiliation of the victim. so, the victim introduces one dangerous element into his culture, which is revenge. and within this culture, it becomes hounorable, perfectly ligitimate and highly obligatory to heal this humiliation by killing and hating Americans. briefly, killing Americans becomes unfortunately a part of their culture. neither Katrina nor Rita is able to remove this part of their culture unless the victim's dignity is restored by empathic dialogue, sincere apology, and reconciliation. if all this were examined, then America might eventually come to realize that Nature's Nemesis is as much a teacher as a hanging judge, and that for its own good, it had best not harm the Earth and fellow humanbeings.
i hope art and the love for beauty will restore this tumult ]]> ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7757347/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7757347/ Tue, 31 Jan 2006 01:20:28 PST Dedicace to all my DA friends

of course they were talking about Time without specifying it. indeed, they mean psychological time and not physical time which is public time or the time that clocks are designed to measure. psychological time passes slowly for someone who is waiting anxiously for the water to boil on the stove, and it passes swiftly for someone enjoying a moment. meanwhile, the clock is measuring physical time and is not affected by consciousness. Physical time is more basic for helping us understand our shared experiences in the world. but during our sleep, psychological time stops. our sense of time is subjective and a mind-dependent phenomenon, whereas physical time is a form of conscious experience. ooohh, i was about to forget biological time which is that many living organisms incorporate biological clocks that govern the rhythms of their behavior.

happy new year to all my beloved DA friends ]]> ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7432786/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7432786/ Tue, 27 Dec 2005 16:01:21 PST ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7363402/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7363402/ Tue, 20 Dec 2005 12:06:29 PST human reality is by nature an unhappy consciousness with no possibility of surpassing its unhappy state. to say in a simple way to overcome the abstract opposition of being and nothing, man is an animal endowed with reason:the virtue of the nothingness of consciousness which in the form of "a lack of identity" provides the condition for the possibility of self-deception, bad faith. without the lack of identity it would not be possible to attain self-awareness and the world would consist only of the being-in-itself
* Man discloses negation in the world and takes negative attitudes with respect to himself.
* consciousness itself is never fully identical to itself as it always has to do something else with its own facticity. its being always goes beyond something, which is nothingness
* what makes the being of consciousness special is that it is conscious of the nothigness of its being

most creation is made out of empty space ]]> ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7281041/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7281041/ Sun, 11 Dec 2005 08:58:59 PST ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7208545/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7208545/ Sat, 03 Dec 2005 00:49:14 PST ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7109308/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/7109308/ Mon, 21 Nov 2005 20:34:18 PST i start to feel this emptiness inside
my work is very stressful
i am craving for time to be on my own
all i write these days is unconscious thoughts
no love to fill this emptiness
no time to know what is going on with me
always nicotine for breakfast just to put me right
no longer engaged with my girl
simply because she is asking more than i can afford
no links with my family cos they want me beleive in conventions

i am tired
i am tired
i am fucked up ]]> ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/6854859/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/6854859/ Mon, 24 Oct 2005 12:52:16 PDT best wishes to my dearest friends

Inspired by : [link] ]]> ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/6139184/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/6139184/ Fri, 05 Aug 2005 06:07:43 PDT . i found it to be an interesting conversation. he mentioned several things which he found to be adequate evidence to reject the idea that God exists. I decided to exchange some ideas with him.

i pointed out that it takes more faith to be an atheist that it takes to be theist. his answer was that atheism requires no faith, for it is based on scientific data.
after a long discussion, he concluded that man is theist by nature that's why the major part hold religious beliefs. but for my part, i came out with two contradictory conclusions:
1- it is practical and sensible to belive there is an eternal being superior to ourselves.
2- the larger part of society is completely irrational.

for me an atheist is the one who discovered his disbelief as the theist who discovered his belief. neither the theist nor the atheist will have the evidence to prove that God exists or doesn't, because it is a transcendantal question.

the mind is limited to what it can be seen, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted......... without forgetting that there is one great faculty which is the ability to imagine and to create. ]]> ~waiting-for-godot http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/6050153/ http://waiting-for-godot.deviantart.com/journal/6050153/ Wed, 27 Jul 2005 16:02:31 PDT
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another.

Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are.

After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with.

We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage.

We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now.

If not now, when?

Your life will always be filled with challenges.

It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D Souza. He said,

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life.

But there was always some obstacle in the way, Something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid.

Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my "life".

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness.

Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time...and remember that time waits for no one. ]]> ~waiting-for-godot
