Trash ..some people will never change. Refocusing activism and politics

 This is why I think some types of activism and politics are wrong. 



And let's ignore politics today not being in the interest of the people anymore.

This was left by a couple spending late hours at the coast having some good times. Too lazy to get out of the car, take one step and throw it in the trash.

Now, I find these spots all over Spain, national Parc, kilometers away from any houses or not and I mean EVERYWHERE!

These people will always exist, especially among the young people that haven't become responsible yet..if they ever would..

Politics and activism often try to inform people, try to initiate behavioural change. But I don't believe in that (anymore for a holistic change in this specific matter). There will always be some assholes or young ones that haven't grown up yet.

What we need to focus on is not allowing companies to make non-bio-degradable packaging anymore, even less bio degreeable ones.

O yeah,as for the argument 'Someone will clean it up anyway" which is the most popular argument (excuse rather) for these kind of people, that means there is only one small moment in time when things are clean, namely right after the cleaner has come.

I didn't even mention that it's often the same people who complain about paying taxes. (Without them, no cleaners.)

Some of my friends who have lived in let's say "privileged" environments, who haven't really come into contact with less informed, more ignorant and responseless people (often in the economic lower classes), they would never believe this and they reach people with their activism. I've lived a lot among these kind of people. Sadly these friends don't realise the type of people they díd reach and won't easily believe there are people they will never ever reach. They have a biased idea about people. Well, this is for you, my friends. 

So, please let's focus our efforts on packaging materials and forget people ever changing for the better any time soon.

Doctors!!!

Another one of those problems out here that I have found more and more compelling as well as frustrating in my life as well as for the whole world is that doctors of today seem not really concerned with their patients anymore, when practicing their profession rather focusing on symptom treatment and "pills" (so to speak) than the causes and real health or well being of the patient. Also that they are weigh too much focused on the money they " deserve " and the competition ( do I smell another form of my favorite word conformism in the latter? ). I have had a lot of discussions with some medicine students (not coincidently), and though I thought a lot of them wouldn't come out for it, I was surprised to learn that a lot of them dó admit that (the promise of) money is a big part in their decision to study medicines!! Of course it's not merely doctors, but the whole health care institution that is becoming more and more of a profiting "machine&qu

The Four Ages of Man

Pilar, a new friend, has revived the ever lasting poem in me brain.  It remains there partly because of a disastrous trial of mine once, to improve my memory.   But it's a nice piece nevertheless. It's a poem that struck me as being simple, sooo true, yet ironic (or even sarcastic) in only 8 lines of text!!    Here it is:   The Four Ages of Man Yeats He with body waged a fight, But body won; it walks upright.   Then he struggled with the heart; Innocence and peace depart.   Then he struggled with the mind; His proud heart he left behind.   Now his wars on God begin; At stroke of midnight God shall win. Amazing is that I could as well project it on the life of á man as well as on the life of all mankind (through evolution and with the apocalypse at the end). Euh, no ... I do not believe in God, nor do I disbeleive It/Him/Her!!  I am just happy without needing to decide on it.

Basics of equality

I have had this idea for as long as I can remember, but only lately it has taken some form in thoughts & words. Though it needs a lot of fixing -aren't words so limited ?- Now I am putting it here to release it so it won't occupy my thoughts so much. Also, maybe someone can learn from this, though I doubt it isn't said already somewhere else and I doubt my blog is read by many people. (Pride is my everlasting burdon too.) Basics of equality : Actually, it's so easy, but probably also so "against one's individuality and pride" that it is so difficult to learn and live by it, if not completely subjectivily rejected by one's mind at first sight!! So, please open your mind before reading on. You see, what makes a person ? Well, it's simple actually, man equals DNA (body, looks, behavior, ..) + life experience (education, accidents, confrontations, luck!, .. ; though isn't luck , or rather: chance, what life experience is the result
