Good afternoon everybody! What happened about a month ago appalled me beyond anything, and this is what I would like to share with the world today: Self- justice as a new law? At the end of February, a young black male -still in his teens- was for whatever reason wandering around within a gated community in Sanford, Florida around 7:30 pm as he was spotted, stopped and questioned about his whereabouts by an alleged neighbor watch crime captain. It didn't take long, and Trayvon Martin was lying on the ground with the hood still over his head - shot dead by a lunatic of a self- righteous and omni- potent George Zimmerman, who shortly after incredibly and ridiculously claiming having acted in self- defense proved to be in no possession of a security license at all. What the heck?!
Okay, one would think that that moron appearing like Rambo himself would as a consequence be taken into custody, right? No, nothing of that kind as this quite obviously racist fellow is still enjoying his freedom! Not that I would have expected that person to turn himself in, however, I would certainly anticipate the law to step in here and become effective immediately. But again, nothing so far.
And this is just not sitting too well with me, to be honest. I am seriously wondering why this guy has not been arrested up to now. After all, is self- justice going to set a new trend for there seems to be no legal aftermath whatsoever? I totally understand and agree with all the folks that are being out in the streets everywhere to protest against BS like that. Besides, I fully support the public call for action and for a change of laws. Trayvon Martin should not have died in vain, nor should George Zimmerman, as a self- labelled security person of that compound be able to just get away with the scorn of thousands of outraged people all over America. Poor Trayvon rest in peace.

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)   - Die Dauer unserer Zusammenkünfte mit anderen Seelen mag von einigen Minuten bis hin zu einer Stunde, einem Tag, einer Dekade oder sogar darüber hinaus variieren. Das zeichnet uns grundsätzlich alle aus. Beziehungen lassen sich niemals zeitlich messen sondern vielmehr in geteilten wie gegenseitig beigebrachten Lebenslektionen und kommen durchaus auch zwischen Seelengefährten, Zwillings- und rein theoretisch auch unter Parallelseelen vor. Letztere aber treffen recht unwahrscheinlich zur selben Zeit zusammen. - Lasst mich zuerst auf das Konzept der Zwillingsseelen, Zwillingsflammen oder auch Zwillingsstrahlen eingehen. Kurz zusammengefasst, handelt es sich hierbei um zwei Hälften EIN und DERSELBEN Seele, die zu Anbeginn der Zeit in absolut harmonischer Koexistenz lebten. Selbst als wir uns als Seelen von DER Quelle an sich abspalteten, um uns letztendlich zu individualisieren, waren wir unverändert eins. Jede ...
College or no college - That's the question    Now the time is here again for high school graduates to venture off to college and university. I still, to this day, remember being thrilled and overly excited to start as a fresh(wo)man in a new place where studying would go hand in glove with partying for the next few years. I love to see every one's kids swarm out and flock together in college districts and on student campus terrains. Most teenagers get accepted somewhere even though often at second or third choice sites, but they will all have to face one and the same question which is, at what price? Unless you are granted a scholarship, three years and plus of college education costs you an arm and a leg, and if you keep going for more profound specialization, you will be in debts up your neck by the time you have got your PhD. Then what? Go and spit out job applications like a ball machine hoping that someone is going to hire you - unless of course you were lucky eno...
Buy small and local   Hi everybody! - Coming from a tiny country like Austria, one might assume that globalisation is just a phenomenon tailored for larger nations, but no, it has also been affecting us all across Europe. Globalisation itself is of complex nature, and even though I'm not planning to write about globalisation per se today, it somehow dictates our overall shopping behavior by bringing in more and more big box chain stores worldwide which sets the general trend for methodically and eventually putting local small family- run as well as individualists' shops out of business. In the 70ies I remember mom and dad taking us along to a wide range of stores from the baker to the butcher, the grocer's, the florist, the hard ware place, the electrician, the tobacco store, etc. What great memories our weekly trips to the market created for us. There we would hand- pick fresh fruit, produce, and other delicacies. Sometimes we would even get a piece of fruit or a carrot fo...
