Bridge 6 | People Love People

People Love People. How important are "People" in that phrase?


When I was a bit younger I suggested my grandma to put in the same box a chicken and dog! I thought that the outcome would be magnificent. A dog that takes care of the ingredients of your omelete and... who knows? Maybe flying also a bit.


My grandma hopefully seemed a hell wiser than me and told me that a chicken whould never believe a male dog saying that he will take care of her kids so she would never born these hush puppies.


So, I came up with a conclusion. Roosters love chickens, male dogs love female dogs as exactly men fell in love with women! What a kid!


I was raised with that kind of the idea considering anything else as paranormal activity. Lately though I got across with many new phenomena. A woman in Germany engaged to the Berlin Wall, a guy from Japan got married to a game boy character that was about to last as much as the batteries did and I was feeling fallen apart that never thought of getting married with the green rug in my room I am so much in love with.


In the beggining I thought: "Hmmm, weird people!". Then I made jokes: "What if the Berlin Wall cheat on his wife?". But then I saw a documentary on people finding love in the face of a plastic, not cheap at all, hologram of a real person, doll.


Almost a bit of desperate of look got in my eyes. How could I now say to my grandma that she just said to me 20 years before a freaky lie? Does she know that maybe a chicken will never give birth to a dog's child but might end up finding the only love left on earth on a dog's face?


The documentary I saw called "Guys and Dolls" depicts the lives of men that end up with the choice of a plastic partner. It is so easy to judge someone like that, so easy to stick the "Retarted" label on them, but what if we are all retarted?


We are retarted. Yes, we do. We don't understand that there are people around us that they need love and this need is a universal feeling. They prefer to receive it from the leg of a chair, than from none. 


We don't seem to understand that in the phrase "People Love People", the only word deserving to be written in capitals can not be touched by "...".

Selfborder 5 | Shortage and Prosperity

Greek parents share the tendency to the question: "Do you have any complaints from me? Didn't we give you everything?"

I am not sure if you know the brand "Less is More" and I am not sure if their clothes rock, but I am lately standing up for the idea that there are times that a shortage really puts us in the shoes of the people that need our help the most.

A shortage like money, health, a family person, a favorite pet, a robbed house, a crashed computer, knowledge, etc. can only be led to prosperity by the support of a person that is not just prosperous but used to be in shortage.

If you were always in "prosper" of beds, you will not easily understand that when someone, who needs to sleep at your house at night, can even sleep on the floor.

Coming back to the parents that they want to give everything to their children, I would be considering an earning part instead of only receiving.

 Nevertheless, keeping a balance ain't that easy for no one.

Bridge 5 | Can we drop a border?

Dropping borders ain't that easy. Nevertheless, sometimes, technology doesn't keep us home and creates a home in every city. This came in my life few weeks before and from the moment I learnt it, I became a fun! I got my first surfer and I think I am going to do it again both ways. Couch and Surfing!

It's a website I advice without Parental Advisory suggested. It's success lies on something I call Web 2.0. The change in internet's history that put in front of the camera not some bits but other people. The change that turned people to learn again how to look to each other, eye to eye, even with the use of a screen and a camera. 

Subscribe now, live the moment before the dawn of Web 3.0. As few people claim, that that would be too late.

7th Border | Judge-mentality

I merely can ever keep a balance on how heavy I am. I never can keep the balance on when to stop building on the same joke and I always need another person to keep the balance of who I am and what I am standing for.

This is not a post on acceptance, although I keep in my mind one for the close future.

This is a post about the people in this world that know how to accept and not to criticize.

Leo Buscaglia has said that if every person had in them lives another person to accept everything as reasonable and completely ok would never be in need of a psychologist and could meet balance.

(After all, what are psychologists do? Listen, say yes and nod)

How easy it is to be a person that always accepts?

I guess more than what I can handle. Nevertheless, I am asking from everyone who reads this blog to always remind me when I become judgmental and disapproving... I don't like that.

Selfborder 4 | Procrastination

There are always a lot of reasons to put a leg off the couch and start something, but how many times do I find a million of reasons not to press the button, not to open the book, not to clean my room?

I believe that if procrastination was not existing I would be 10 years older, or at least had 10 years of more experiences!

There are so many times I tried to kill procrastination, but what I understood in the end, was that I was just procrastinating in order to really do what I had to do.

In the end, I find myself trapped in the 6th or 7th level of procastination (procrastinating by re-working on my procrastination again and again) as being the lead actor in Inception.

After all, I am procrastinating even now... Standing next to a dirty room, a closed book, without switching on the radio, buying the things I need from the neibourhood supermarket...

Does anyone feel the same?





That's what I mean...

Selfborder 3 | Our brains have no bluetooth attached

Lately, I have been thinking that we people are really alone.
The reason is not loneliness of our bodies but the incapability of our brains to communicate effectivelly.

We can see as far as we want to see, still we believe that we see clearly.
We can listen as deep as we want to hear, still we believe that we even see the meaning behind.
When we talk, we transcript our actions into sounds and we leave everything we wouldn't do just outside our door.

I don't really know if a bluetooth device attached to our brains would do any help at all.
I don't even know if opening wide up would be a good choice.

For what I am sure, is that I don't know...

6th Border | Money, Bridge or Border?

In life there are certaiin things that keep as closer to our friends, our past, the experiences we share, the same thoughts, hobbies, things we love etc. I was always thinking that Money are always a bridge to our friends. We use money and we drink a coffee in a funcy place together, we use money and we buy gifts, go on holidays together!

But what does it happen when money become a lifestyle? What does it happen when the gap between money is so big no visual bridge can cover?

When I was younger I was thinking that if I be rιch in the future I would buy a cosy house and a fast car for my family and friends so that we would all be happy? What is that deep in all of us that changed and these ideas never become true? What makes the money as the best gift and why do most of the childish dream we make now are chategorised as "childish"?

Life is also causing to be always in the mood of chategorising, judging and critising according to our ego and with ruler our selves. Money are one of the characteristics that make our lives difficult in order to judge others actions...

How many hotly disputed discussions on buying brands have I participated into? And in the end what? Are we all mean and bad or we just see as far as our brocken eyes can?

Random Thoughts | Copyright Democracy NOW

 I believe that  copyrights are created to destroy not only all the cheap home entertainment but also I believe that every kind of creativity on art is a proof that art is facing the unhealthiest state of all ages.

 Imagine if ideas could be copyrighted. Imagine if you are not allowed to redraw copyrighted materials, if you are not allowed to sing copyrighted songs, imagine if you are not allowed to eat copyrighted food!

Who can tell me that tomorrow some company will not wake up and make the whole world believe that we should copyright people, ideas, animals, food thoughts. If you have to buy first the copyright and then the material.

Who is paying the maintenance of the whole global copyrights industry? Us

Imagine how our lives would have been today if copyrights were existing from ancient years.

What if Democracy was copyrighted?

Well maybe that would be a good solution in order not to spoil the name of democracy when thinking of current Democratic countries, states, minds etc.

Bridge 3 | "Forever"

Yesterday I had the nicest day in the city of Thessaloniki maybe in a whole life... It was full! Full of people I never shared a lot of time people, full of emotions, feelings and new things.

Life is BORING! When we don't care about this, when we procrastinate and when we want to complain and not live...

In this fancy day I had I heard something so deep like the ocean.

"Forever" exists. When we don't take time into consideration.

Somebody could ask what's the new in it. If time is a huge and meaningless zero of course everything lasts forever!

What if we think that time is not a zero, it is something just not important to us. Think of it. How many things would become more amazing?

If you say to someone that you had an excitement of a second people would notice only the excitement. If you say that you had sex/made love with someone for just one night, the important thing would be that you had sex/made love. If you would say that I am positive but I dont know for how long I can stand like this, people wouldn't think that your positivity will last soon but would notice that NOW you are positive, NOW you need help, NOW you can give passion, NOW it is the life and there is no idea for what's next.

On the other hand, time can be really important but what if we don't want to take it into consideration? What if it is important for me to love me for a lifetime but it is more important that you love me NOW and NOW and NOW and NOW. 

What?
