It's been too long since I posted last.

Speaking with a friend of mine I realized that everything has already happened. I explain myself a little bit better.

Every situation is a repetition of a past situation. If you think - for example - either of a war, or of a relationship - only to take two examples with diametrical positions -, we can recognize some patterns.

The only thing changing are the actors involved and the epoch.

The sadness of all of this is that we do not learn anything from the past.

Is it demagogic?

Yes, it is but I do not care.

Stop Thinking

What does "stop thinking" mean ?

It is difficult to answer this question. How can you realize that you have really stopped the compulsory thinking process?

Isn't it true that once you check whether you are thinking or not are, you are still thinking.

Alas, it seem to be a catch-22 situation.

Lately, I really try to observe my thoughts, in particular those that are putting my mood down.

Observing my thoughts a question arises:

Who is the observer ?

If we cannot identify ourselves with our mind, who are we then ?

And what is the mind ? Why is our life dominated by our mind ?

My answers at that questions are piecemeal for the time being. I hope to find a more complete answer.

To Go Out With a Bang

To go out with a bang I took a difficult decision. I deleted all the pictures.

I don't want to be tempted to have a look at them.

These are beautiful memories but sometimes beautiful memories can really provoke deepest suffering.

It is my way to tell myself "Start a new page"

My last post for good

If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up? (Chuck Palahniuk)

Live or Die

Sometimes one happens to think which sense has life. Sometimes people decide to die out of fear to live.

Sometimes the problems look like insurmountable. You wanna escape from a situation and you are looking for a shortcut.

I think a suicide is really a egoistic act. Sure, you leave back all your problems but for the people who love you it won't be that easy.

There are some websites which contemplate and give suggestion for those facing the ultimate decision.

They are really dangerous and they give weak people the last push.

I don't know what I want to say with this post.

I wanna escape but I don't know how.

Suggestions ?

Death

I got back to Vienna two days ago. I was in Kenya for two weeks. Very soon I will upload the pictures I took.

I know in general I have not written very much on my blog. The reasons therefore are different but the main one is that I was scared about people judging me on that also - about the level of my English. I know quite a few people who are happy when they are able to destroy a person with continuously sarcastic comments.

But I have discovered the following: they are not the problem but it's me. I give too much power to these people.

I started a blog in English to practice in order to become more confident with the language.

Well, this period is not an easy one :) During this stage of my life where I suffer quite a lot, I think about different things: First of all, who cares if people reading these sentences say that I'm stupid.

Suffering is something indispensable to improve our life. Changes can only happen once we suffer deeply. Lately, I think a lot about the death. What exactly is it?

I'm not speaking about death after a long illness. I'm speaking about people who have started their day like any other without any suspicion that this will be their last one. In the news you can hear plenty of such destinies. I think it is necessary to consider every day like your last day. I know it is not easy but if I could, I would live better.

In some situations I believe that death could also be seen as a friend; a friend that takes away lots of problems, lots of sufferings; a friend that gives you another chance.

It is important to consider death and life as one thing.

Without life death cannot exist and the other way around - like breathing in and breathing out.

Death reminds us that we have to live every second and we shouldn't use so much time to complain about ourselves. We don't have to waste time in something that produces only sufferings.

Sometimes decisions are difficult to take - not for you personally but for the people around you.

Hence, now it's time to take decisions even if other people think they are stupid.
