Wept

 You have left and the rose has  wept. And I lost the bliss's door keys.  There was only my nostalgia  And somes of hope followed you to where you've gone.  And a frozen bird I have in a cage, Got used to your hovering shadow, but his wounds became worse now. Then, your fingers kissed the bars, then the bird jumped off and chained his  Wings. 

Silence of the Future

  𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐨 𝐁𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 “It gives me a melancholy happiness to live in the midst of this jumble of lanes, needs, and voices: how much enjoyment, impatience, desire; how much thirsty life and drunkenness of life comes to light every moment of the day! And yet things will soon be so silent for all these noisy, living, life-thirsty ones! How even now everyone's shadow stands behind him, as his dark fellow traveller! It's always like the last moment before the departure of an emigrant ship : people have more to say to each other than ever; the hour is late; the ocean and its desolate silence await impatiently behind all the noise - so covetous, so certain of its prey. And everyone, everyone takes the past to be little or nothing while the near future is everything; hence this haste, this clamour, this outshouting and out-hustling one another. Everyone wants to be the fir

Viscous Gum

 I have led a toothless life. I have never bitten into anything. I was waiting. I was reserving myself for later on-and I have just noticed that my teeth have gone. What’s to be done? Break the shell? That’s easily said. Besides, what would remain? A little viscous gum, oozing through the dust and leaving a glistering trail behind it.  ~Jean-Paul Sartre Book: The Age of Reason

The myth of Sisyphus

 I'm continually surprised by profound things I find in Myth of Sisyphus after reading it many times. Camus really does speak to that wake in grief where expectation doesn't fit reality. It is pretty cathartic in ways. "Living naturally is never easy. You continue making the gestures commanded by existence for many reasons. The first of which is habit. Dying voluntarily implies that you have recognized, even instinctively, the ridiculous character of that habit. The absence of any profound reason for living. The insane character of the daily agitation and the uselessness of suffering. What then, is that incalculable feeling that deprives sleep necessary to life? A world that can be explained, even with bad reasons, is a familiar world. But on other hand, a universe totally divested of illusions and lights, man feels like an alien a stranger. His exile is without remedy. Since he has been deprived of a lost home or a promised land."

The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling

  I've noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my thirty years of teaching: schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to the great enterprises of the planet. No one believes anymore that scientists are trained in science classes or politicians in civics classes or poets in English classes. The truth is that schools don't really teach anything except how to obey orders. This is a great mystery to me because thousands of humane, caring people work in schools as teachers and aides and administrators, but the abstract logic of the institution overwhelms their individual contributions. Although teachers to care and do work very, very hard, the institution is psychopathic -- it has no conscience. It rings a bell and the young man in the middle of writing a poem must close his notebook and move to a different cell where he must memorize that humans and monkeys derive from a common ancestor.  ~John Taylor Gatto  Book: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory schooling 

Endangered Species

Some people say that too much attention and too many resources are given to the protection of wild animals and birds. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? For many decades now, protecting animals and birds has been very important for humans. It is certainly right that sufficient resources and attention are focused on this, but obviously there are other priorities as well that need consideration. It is obvious that wildlife is worthy of every energetic effort and resource. After all, once a species is gone, it is gone forever, just like the Dodo. These days, this is of crucial importance, as human populations and needs grow exponentially. For example, deforestation and cash crops in Malaysia and Indonesia put pressure on rainforest biodiversity and the lives of animal like orangutans. Meanwhile, growing affluence in Vietnam and China is creating demand for ivory poachers in Africa. Elsewhere, similarly ignorant customers who ought to know better are causing tigers

Tips for diet and losing weight

  *****     1. Plan Ahead The first thing you should do to make your diet more effective is to plan everything. You must pick the diet plan you want to establish and focus on. It would be ideal to come up with a weekly diet plan and list down a comprehensive meal plan so you can buy all the foods you need before you start a new week. 2.  Do Not Skip Meals Contrary to what others believe, an effective diet doesn’t work by skipping meals. You are highly encouraged to eat frequently. Of course, you should never skip breakfast as it is the most important meal of the day. In addition to that, eating smaller meals 5 to 6 times a day allows your body to function more efficiently throughout the day. Eating frequently dramatically boost your metabolism stabilises blood sugar, and will enable you to burn more fats. 3. Avoid Processed Foods Processed foods are everywhere. They are easy to prepare, and sometimes they are even ready to eat. Despite the convenience that these foods bring, you
