Invisible Deserts

Creating a desert
Is so easy
Humans are so
Frail

Watering a desert
May last a lifetime
Only love will give
Strength

Dangerous being shy with strangers

When people feel threatened because other people look alien, speak a foreign language,or looking wild, then the feeling is based on the appearance of people and not based on a feeling of these people. There are people who believe that strange appearance of people entitles to violence against these people because there is only one kind of legitimate appearance, that of their own.

These people do not realize how much they themselves will alter in the course of their lives their appearance. Will there sometime violence against babies be allowed because they look so different, and we do not understand them? Or violence against old people, because they look so different, and we do not understand them?

No. Nature is based on diversity, on the interaction of different individual forms of life, which become a richer solution together.
Trees are living in community with micro-organisms in their roots. Ants have their greenfly-farms. When we breathe spent air it is wonderful for the plants. Diversity helps us, we have no right to act violently against the diversity. We only make ourselves poorer.

Recently my comment in a blog was censored because I wanted to point out the merits the Arabs have acquired for science in the Middle Ages. Names like alcohol, algebra and other let us recognize the Arab roots. Some people want to polarize and demonise diversity.It sometimes seems to be chic, to throw Arabs, Muslims and terrorists in a box where they do not belong together. Arabs and Muslims are highly respectable people like you and me and terrorists are terrorists, as they occur in each society and even we had them in Germany (Remember RAF ).

We need the diversity and peaceful coexistence, that will bring to all of us prosperity and knowledge.

Property and Violence

If I have property in our society and objects belong to me, then I am entitled to fight for my possessions. Our society allows it, that humans stay hungry - for example the homeless - while the other one owns more than he could ever eat up in his life.

This order is maintained through violence. But human beings do not belong to the objects that could have an owner, although men sometimes treat their families, their wives as if they were property, thus having the right to use violence if the property is threatened.

Women go with men a part of their life together, they usually marry a man but a woman sees no ownership in relationship or the right to violence, but a mutual love promise before witnesses. Find ways in your life with a way to love is often the sight of women. While men often say, find a way to a life with possession.

Violence I

If I have an opinion differnt from yours, if I think I know everything better, then that is no reason to apply violence to other people in order to enforce a wiser way of life.

Each person is responsible for his own life and even more people can learn from their mistakes. If people are not in a position to leran from their mistakes, because they are ill or disabled, then it is a task for all and not of individuals or a group, to decide how these humans can be protected without limiting freedom more than necessary.

In a men's society, the better knowledge has been raised to the rank of institution being followed by violence. I know it better, you do what I tell you, or I will force you.

It would be better if people gave only recommendations and were available for advice when mistakes has been made, because mistakes are the foundation on which a thorough knowledge rests on.
