Nice said

I got some chocolates with sayings inside their papers. One is very nice or maybe very self appropriate: 

Il faut deux ans pour apprender à parler et toute une vie pour apprender à se taire. 

In English, but rather literally (maybe less nice):

It takes 2 years to learn and speak and a whole life to learn and shut up.

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...

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 anywa...
