Religious Tolerance   Just incredible what a ripple effect one single action by one individual created on the day of the 11th 9/ 11 Anniversary. I think, I'm speaking for a vast majority not just in this country but globally when I express my disgust about what had led to this dangerously fast spreading upheaval in the Islamic world. Needless to say, I do expect this nation to step it up and expedite this bastard who had put this blasphemous video online in which he was clearly mocking, no worse intentionally ridiculing Mohammad and consequently severely offending his followers.
What on earth is wrong with people? Was this really necessary to start a war like this in such an appalling fashion? What a stupid and egocentric asshole! As a result, several Americans got killed in an act of spontaneous and most furious retaliation. Those men got lynched absolutely senselessly over some individual's publicized hate campaign against a religion different from his own. And honestly, at this point does it truly make a difference if the killed men held publicly important places in society such as the US ambassador of Lybia. All those lives were similarly significant and were terminated absolutely uselessly due to one man's ignorance and intolerance towards mankind.
The presidential election is just weeks away, so both major parties are clearly called upon taking immediate action in this matter. If they are clever, they should not just prosecute the culprit, trial and put him in some US jail on a mild 10- year sentence. No, they would indeed be well- advised to get hold of the real one(s) and fly him/ them to Lybia. I am pretty sure, the angered mob there would know what to do with this kind of offender(s). Such a person or group has simply not deserved humane treatment in return for their actions. A biblical reaction such as An Eye For An Eye, and A Tooth For A Tooth would be credible and appropriate. This way the USA would clearly distance themselves politically and ideologically from ever being affiliated to this demeaning way of thinking. Religious tolerance must be taught from an early age on and should be practiced most naturally and compassionately. Even though there may be xenophobias about religious differences, we all need to understand that this is just as much a part of our human diversity as the different races are unique. It's not just inappropriate and hurtful to do parodies on any God but certainly entirely uncalled for and above unnecessarily dangerous. Seriously, we do not need another war just because someone has set their mind to spilling out their disgust for other religions. Even if some world leaders' intention might be to deliberately start a war over an artificially created and pushed up incident, we the people should somehow get a grip on instigated and well- calculated reactions such as massive riots that are quite likely to quickly cause a serious global issue. By becoming more tolerant and accepting of each other in all our diversity and divergences, we shall be fit enough to withstand such blows against humanity. And those who are still out to create harm and hurt the way it happened a few days ago should be excluded from our society to keep the peace within. All religions are equal, and all those senseless wars of the past should be dealt with as reminders that we all should have learnt from by now. History must no longer repeat itself in terms of religious or racial confrontations and conflicts.

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...

The Evolution Of The Soul

The Evolution Of The Soul   - Welcome back to my blog! - Today I'd like to focus on the various levels of souls and their different interim steps, respectively. Altogether there are reportedly 35 different steps, 7 per level of which there are 5. Each single step requires at least one whole lifetime to complete, but since several incarnations end prematurely, are terminated too early or are spent in non- physical states, it does in fact take much longer than that to run through all those steps. Running through, I guess, is a poor choice of words in this context as the entire process definitely resembles more of a gradual growth rather than a speedy race, and so it takes well over a hundred lifetimes and spans over thousands of years at best. Just for the (spiritual) records, the soul's existence between lifetimes - periods that usually also take up some time typically used for the soul to return home, its latest life review, being healed and taught, choosing a new life, prepari...

Knock It Off!

Knock It Off!  - Round One. Bam! One punch, and down goes the man or woman. If the setting was a boxing ring, one could cheer about a clean one- strike knock- out and celebrate the victor. Unfortunately, the circumstances could not be any more different. There's no pairing up against each other, and there's certainly no referee to be found either. In fact, reality is quite the opposite with a bunch of teens randomly picking someone, -lately even women- ambushing their latest victims and aiming at knocking them out with a single blow to the head or face. With every new day more incidents are surfacing, well documented thanks to the quickly increasing amount of surveillance and closed- circuit cameras in public places. Those squads of thugs are believed to be primarily teenagers and young folks who are used to roaming the streets and who out of boredom came up with the idea of playing a new sinister and heinous game called "The Knock- Out Game". So, basically anyone wa...
