Speaker and listener

Lyrical smile

Friendship is supposed to go both ways. It’s just how communication works but with friends you can share whatever that you feel at your heart. It’s the bond of bravery where you can really tell your friend that you are not feeling okay. It’s not the combination of one speaker and one listener. Both of them are supposed to have both skills at all times. That’s what friendship is truly about. Being best friends with people but not being able to share what’s been bugging you really feels worthless. There are many speakers out there and also many listeners, I can’t argue with that. But the perfect combination is hardly visible. There is always some kind of imbalance in the listener and speaker. One possesses one quality little too much. A speaker isn’t much of a listener and a listener doesn’t really open up to speak. The speaker is always…

Tadž Mahal, Indija – Taj Mahal, India

Myrela

Bilo je potrebno 20 godina i 20.000 radnika i radnica da bi se sagradio Tadž Mahal, najčuvenije zdanje u Indiji. Grad Mumtazabad, današnji Tadž Gandž, osnovan je u blizini gradilišta kako bi se tu smjestili oni koji su radili na građevini. Hiljadu slonova prelazilo je put između rudnika Makrana u Radžastanu i Agre prenoseći ogromne blokove bijelog mermera. Iz obližnjeg grada Fetepur Sikrija dopremljeno je 114.000 tovara crvenog pješčara, a njegovi stanovnici godinama su bili zaposleni na pečenju opeke od koje je sagrađena ova građevina. Po jednom persijskom hroničaru iz sedamnaestog vijeka, za ukrašavanje Tadž Mahala utrošene su nevjerovatne količine lapis lazulija (tamnomodrog poludragog kamena) iz Avganistana, tirkiza s Tibeta, kristala iz Kine, jaspisa iz Pandžaba, oniksa iz Persije, ahata iz Jemena, korala iz Arabijskog mora i kalcedona iz Evrope. Zadatak trgovaca iz Džajpura bio je da dobavljaju dijamante, kako one u gvaliorskom magnetitu, tako i one u bagdadskom kornalinu…

12 Simple Acts to Help Our Current Crisis — Micro of the Macro

View of Big Sur, CA, from inside Julia Pfeiffer State Park Extinction:  a word normally associated with dinosaurs, certain smaller animal species, and ancient civilizations.  Or, that used to be the case.  Recently, there’s been a lot of speculation on our possible extinction; that is to say, you and me and everyone we love.  Why, […]

فلسفة اللامبالاة

Indifference is a mental and sensory state in which the individual is not interested in his private life or public events in his society with the absence of will and enthusiasm for action, suppression of feelings and lack of interest even if this causes harm to the individual and society. Indifference can be classified as a psychological defense trick that a person and society resort to as a result of the inability to solve the problems they face, loss of hope and the inability to achieve goals. There are organic causes and psychological disorders that cause apathy, such as thyroid dysfunction or schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as depression and bipolar disorder.

حلم الدرويش

اللامبالاة حالة ذهنية وحسّية، يكون فيها الفرد غير مهتم بحياته الخاصة أو الأحداث العامة فى مجتمعه مع غياب الإرادة والحماس للعمل وكبت المشاعر وقلة الاهتمام حتى لو تسبب ذلك فى وقوع الضرر على الفرد والمجتمع . يمكن تصنيف اللامبالاة كحيلة من حيل الدفاع النفسى التى يلجأ لها الشخص والمجتمع نتيجة عدم القدرة على حل المُشكلات التى تواجهه وفقد الأمل وعدم القدرة على تحقيق الأهداف . هناك أسباب عضوية واضطرابات نفسية تُسبب حالة اللامبالاة مثل الخلل فى الغدّة الدرقية أو الإصابة بالفُصام ومرض الزهايمر ، وكذلك الاكتئاب والاضطراب ثُنائى القطب.

أول من صاغ مصطلح اللامبالاة أو السلبية هم الفلاسفة الرواقيون وعرفوها بأنها (انطفاء المشاعر وسيادة العقل) ، تسربت الفكرة بعد ذلك وظهرت فى الفكر الدينى على يد (كلمنس ألكسندر) الذى استعمل الكلمة للتعبير عن (الازدراء من جميع المشاغل الدنيوية) ، كذلك تم وصفها فى الكتاب المقدس بأنها (حالة من إماتة الجسد) . ذاع صيت مصطلح اللامبالاة بعد الحرب العالمية الأولى وتم…

Lifting the Veil

We have to confront the inconsistencies in our lives. We have to face our illusions about ourselves and our illusions about others. Belief and truth has nothing in common with each other. If we lift the veil that covers our eyes all lies will dissipate and the truth will be revealed. There is no higher hierarchy, we are all equal.

The Myanmar Junta’s Assault on the Truth | Human Rights Watch

Myanmar security forces have launched a full-scale attack on the country’s media, targeting journalists for arrest, raiding the offices of newspapers and online media, and banning five outspoken media outlets. At least 71 journalists, including a Japanese freelancer, have been arrested, of whom 48 remain in detention.

In the latest escalation, the junta is including journalists in the nightly broadcast of individuals “wanted” by the authorities. Every day brings new reports of additional journalists being detained.
