How many days of beauty? How many sunsets have my eyes gazed upon? How many warm embraces, smiles, kind words, victories and excitements? Yet they all fade into approximation. The approximation that shapes the man I am now. Alongside the hurtful moments, that I may or may not have learned something from. If our memory was perfect, if we would be able to recall all the joys laid in our paths so far, would we live in perpetual bliss? Or would we not even try to live another day.

Dacă te întrebi vreodată
în mine se zbate un ochi de femeie singură
de parcă n-am cui să-i pun masa
de parcă n-am în cine să mă ghemui
de parcă n-are cine să mă iubească
când sunt lumină sau întuneric
când sunt goală și pielea se lipește
ca fumul de plămâni
ca limba de gheață
ca frica de animal
în mine se zbate un alt om
mereu singur, mereu trist
de parcă m-am născut într-un decembrie ceaușist
de parcă nu mi-am început nicăieri drumul
de parcă mă strânge viața de gât
în mine se zbate mereu altcineva
se zbat de fapt
toți oameni pe care i-am întâlnit
de parcă n-am cui să-i pun masa
de parcă n-am în cine să mă ghemui
de parcă n-are cine să mă iubească
când sunt lumină sau întuneric
când sunt goală și pielea se lipește
ca fumul de plămâni
ca limba de gheață
ca frica de animal
în mine se zbate un alt om
mereu singur, mereu trist
de parcă m-am născut într-un decembrie ceaușist
de parcă nu mi-am început nicăieri drumul
de parcă mă strânge viața de gât
în mine se zbate mereu altcineva
se zbat de fapt
toți oameni pe care i-am întâlnit

Pentru viitorul nostru
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white.
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there’s room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls - has barricaded the world with hate - has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man - cries for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say: ‘Do not despair.’ The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Soldiers! Don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you and enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don’t hate, only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St Luke, it is written the kingdom of God is within man not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful - to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security.
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason - a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us unite!

nostalgia
Despair is for people who know, beyond any doubt, what the future is going to bring.
Nobody is in that position.
So despair is not only a kind of sin, theologically, but also a simple mistake, because nobody actually knows.
In that sense there always is hope.

I have nostalgia for something it hasn't happened yet. But it's gonna happen, because if it doesn't, than it's all shit

life is eternal
One has to come to terms with one's own mortality.
And you can't really help people who are having problems with mortality,If you've ot problems of your own.
So you have to begin to sort things out,And I thought I had sorted things out
until I saw this excerpt from this book,Of certainty I shall remember what it said:
"Life is not the opposite of death. Death is the opposite of birth. Life is eternal."
And I thought that it's the most profound words I have ever heard about that issue and it really put me in peace.(I felt it was a wonderful story.)
And that's it.
What else is there to say?
Heh.
Life is eternal.
Surely the opposite of life is not the death, but life is eternal.
There is no opposite.
And so, what happens is, I suppose,
(And isn't it a raging or outrageous)
State of pure consciousness, stillness and silence?
Yeah, what we are looking for now,
We are searching for and we have been searching for,
Now we've become closer it and now we know it's already there,
Is there for ever to seek,
It's there,
And it's going be there,
All the time,
Forevermore.
***************************************************************
Feel renewed inside
Feel the truth in life,see beyond sky,beyond our waking eyes,when the night is long,feel i don't belong,when sky is grey you turn to me and say,
Love is all we are ,together or apart.
When the light of day ,turn me on my way,
Feel renewed inside,feel the truth in life,
See beyond...

@rapistrash things are eventually bound to break. we also. other's hearts. others our hearts. there is no enough giving, taking can be to much. as bird can be, you can be free. also freedom means lonliness. the girl can be unreachable, just cause to keep someone close for self its selfish -otherwise letting go is just 'letting go' . i empathise with you

I have my moments but no one
wants just moments.
loving the right person at the wrong time
"Hai la Brasov, e alt aer acolo si stiu multe locuri!"
Dar locul meu draga, unde e?
Esti o prosta.
"Esti un prost."
Esti...
"Sunt."
Uite vezi ce proasta esti, nu intelegi nimic!
"Ma, da tu intelegi ca te iubesc."
Taci din gura, mai avem putin pana la altar.
Nu vreau sa zambesc fals. Proasto.
"Imi esti dator cu o inghetata..."
Imi esti restanta cu ceva rece, un gest, un cuvant, ceva, orice...
Pentru ca am fost rau si merit.
"Te pierd."
Si eu te pierd.
"Uite cum facem, ne pierdem amundoi, si ne prefacem ca ne cautam si apoi ne intoarcam cu fata si ne luam in brate, ne regasim."
Si daca eu nu mai stiu care mi-e fata? Ce fac?
"Spune-mi ca ma vrei si ca ti-e dor de mine si te voi auzi, si te voi gasi, asa cum numai eu vreau sa te gasesc..."
Bine, dar sa ma saruti. Te rog.
“Promit. promit, neiubitule.”
Si apoi….liniste.
