Ruby's scrap blog

Thank you Karel for expanding my dictionay up here! Karel, my nephew, has pointed me out the more exact meaning of a certain word. It's so important to me because I actually have been looking for a word to describe those people that I have always had an interest in, in the way that the result of their actions are a source of much suffering. The word is: Conformist conformists are those who attempt to comply with all societal norms , generally so as to not stand out in any way and hence be subject to potential ridicule or other social sanctions I needn't to point out that the source of this is: FEAR (once again)

I have been activily looking and solliciting for a job in world development for, what must have been, almost a year now. The looking teaches me about the chaos and the difficulty it is to really find something effective to do good, as if "doing good" is deliberitly made the hardest thing to do. The rejections on my sollicitations on the other hand, at least tells me that I started very late in my life (31 years old now), but also gives me the impression that Human Resources in such organisations, be it governmental or not, are still looking for conservative, "polite" and conformistic people, not realising the most resources and capacities today lies elsewhere. Wake up! The world has changed, yet again (and will forever). Now,.. right now,.. I was looking for a way to help out again, here on the internet, while I realised that one way of helping is to tell everyone what I experienced as something that helped already. So, I want to tell to all the Belgian people ...

I have a new pet, who lives mostly between my table legs. Nice chance to use that close-up setting of my camera once!

Finally, managed to get some time for myself to make my own T-shirt. I designed this pic from the less effected playbock. I love it.

People say the world is so small today, everything so close, you can travel anywhere in no time and cheap. But when talking about poor people and starvation, "pfeeeuh, man!" that'so far away, it's so far from my home, it's just nothing to worry about for us, you know! Let someone closer handle it.

"Perfect" may not exist, but don't tell me it doesn't exist because it would be too boring or anything, because.. if perfect is too boring, it isn't perfect at all!!!!! You can actually fill in the 'boring' part with anything that is negative, and actually everything "too" is negative or it wouldn't be "too" either, except "too perfect" which is a contradiction in terms. Actually, any phrase starting with "Perfect is too..." is a contradiction in terms. When are you going to see that, you stupid, pride and unconscious people!!! I am sorry to use this language, but I had to get it out. Any better place for it than on a blog ? Where one feels getting heard, but no-one cares at all. Why do I have to say this? Well, I hate discussions when you start off with the word perfect in them, and if not immediately, somewhere during your story, sómeone will come up with the idea (full of greatness!! Oh yeah!) that perfect...

To reach the closest star to Earth, second to the sun, which is Proxima Centauri, we would have to have launched one of the fastest manned rockets we know today, at ~100.000 years ago, when we were still barbarians, and then we would still only arrive today! And if you know that the amount of stars that we can observe today in our universe is 7 × 10 22 which is a thousand times a billion times a billion stars, it really rocks our mind, doesn't it ? This should give us a bit an insight in how tiny we are! And I must admit that I, personally, sometimes experience difficulties to even imagine how small we are compared to the vastness of our own earth! On another aspect, it shouldn't be too difficult to imagine that if there should be a God or if there should be other life far more evolved than us, it could be possible that our intelligence towards God or towards superintelligent aliens has the same ratio as an amoeba* has towards us, or even far worse. * one of the smallest life ...
