So the process took care of the rest, what Visar? Sometimes processing is good for troubles, I guess! ;-)

The thing about the animals, Visar, is that they don't come up and pretend to be something special, and demonstrate any kind of "cultural image", like many too many of the ignorant would do. It's not bad at all to be ignorant of some things, and we all do not know everything. But then, to come out, and pretend that one is some kind of "better than thou", like they do many times here in Switzeria because of their luxury, well... in my eyes this is really laughable.

As about being only for being, I can also not agree with that, but being for doing more also includes a very very careful (ans also painful ;-)) analysis of the own self too. And then, many too many things we took for granted get its crackles. It is perhaps a bit uncomfortable but it is also good since we learn perhaps to always question things. And without that questioning we would only stagnate. This is what I find also so good for example on budhistic monchs. Most peopl think that they just sit and say "shanana" all the time, but no! They are always eager to think, and re-think, and think agaon, and also to just listen to questions and doubts, and take them seriously. Logical argumentation is something very important to them - not only dogmatic belief.

Cheers,

Nick

good shot, nice frame to frame by the trees and that constrantion to the human, also importante the vivid colors of the cloths against the softer colors of the enviroment.
be well!

oh yeah, the shot needs sharpness. the original version is good but i posted this mistakenly after i had processed it a little- so...

to your reply on the about part of the shot:
i cannot agree more with the point you raise.
drowned in comfort meditation is pointless! what will you meditate on, the fat ignorance of comfort!?
though, on the other hand, by luck many live like animals and yet kick in- cannot hide that i admire those naturals- without going into definitions of what this and that phenomena is.

...
"You have to fight
to get somewhere...
in this world, huh?
Maybe even fight...
to kill.

If you are
fighting to kill,
you must be
very, very sure you
have God on your side.
Otherwise--

Otherwise what?

Otherwise, you are nothing
more than a murderer."

...
from "the man who cried"... the film is grrr, but i liked this talk as it evoked some thinking in me...
this 'having god in your side' i interprete as having an idea of what there's one wants to do so that way only he can justify the deed, and not be just a pointless runover- not to even be able to distinguish his being from an animal.
so, being something just for the sake of being- well i only may judge here, but i think humans can do more.

cheers,
v.

this is a park in Tirana- Albania, in fact, i do not know what that was, but something from the communist time.
last few yrs, it was really dirty up there but now the green is back and very pleasant place for a promenade ;)
thanks dear blueyed,

Is this an old bridge destroyed in the civilwar? The bright young boy indeed stands for hope, a change, onward motion.

Oh parku in Tiranes, sa kohe kam qe nuk kam qene atje.
nje nga vendet e preferuara te femirise sime. Athere ishte me i paster dhe me i bukur, tani besoj eshte lene mbas dore.
Liqeni, ishte gjithmone nje vend perfekt per mua per te medituar...per nje kohe bisedash me vetveten.Thanks for bringing back to me so many memories.
nice composition.

Here I think that more sharpness would do good, Visar, though I am not exactly sure about that. Actually there is much I don't really know about this one. On the one hand the dark silhouettes of the trees do generate a feel for depth, and on the other hand they seem to also dismantle the continuity of the image.

Would a stronger reference to the horizon that goes far and far away somehow underline your subject? I see that the shore at the other side was not as far, but still I imagine that in front of some sea perhaps.

On the message, I would add... Meditation can lead to wisdom when we don't apply that just for mindless adaption of any philosophic stream just for following modern trends. There is much too much logic in Budhism that I feel gets completely overlooked by a huge amount of eager but unfortunately too "comfortable" followers. Or did anybody of the "teachers" who demand so much money in their luxurious schools here around, think about the connections of the "nothing" to quantum mechanics? ;-) Nit to speak of course about what a luxurious life Budha himself had, ey? ;-)

But so it goes, any philosophy will also get perverted by people that do not care to make tgheir lives so hard by thinking. ;-)

Cheers,

Nick
