Noam Chomsky is one of the world's most famous intellectuals, linguists and philosophers, and he presented his vision of 10 ways of manipulating people. I really think this needs to be read. Don't let yourself be manipulated. DIRECTION OF ATTENTION Divert public attention from important issues to unimportant ones. Re-employ the public with a flood of irrelevant information, so that people would not think and gain basic knowledge in understanding the world. PROBLEM CREATION…
Very cold Saturday. The night bites even more on the skin. I gave up on plans to go out. Not so much because of the temperature as I have to think about the current virus. I guess I'm getting old? And that's why, sitting in the house, it's warm and peaceful. I will share the music I am currently listening to with you. Tonight's plans? No crowds and too much communication. Maybe a movie night with a kid? Yes, that would be really nice. Have a nice evening, however you want to…
Bad, bad, bad day. The knowledge that a member of my family, the cat Momchilo, had passed away, shattered me and scattered me into a thousand different sides. With this post, I want to leave a trace in the virtual world forever, about the life of a brave, generous, and good-natured cat named Momchilo. A cat that lived freely, as he chose, without imposition and restrictions. And yet, in addition to absolute freedom, he chose us as his life companions. Oh God, what a genius…
There are rare moments when everything, in a second, fits into a perfect match. I'm at home, the temperature is pleasant, it's late at night or early in the morning, it doesn't matter. In the dim light, standing by the window, I smoke my last cigarette today, while quiet music is playing. I'm happy because the kids are home, so I don't have to worry about how they are and where they are. Dogs are fed and sleep the sweet dream of the righteous. I watch the snow fall outside.…
From the song: "Because only love can overcome hatred You know we have to find a way To bring a little love "here today" How much effort does it take to dispel all fears, jealousy, hatred? Is it possible to live without those bad feelings? I sincerely believe it is possible. Honesty and love, that's all we need. So what's stopping us? https://youtu.be/Bsqq3nO5DkI Watch the video and listen to the song, everything will be clearer. Have a nice weekend everyone.
I was not present all week. A stormy week. Extremely strenuous. Jumping over obstacles, fighting fears, rejecting doubts, completely surrendering to destiny. A long journey. And here I am. New beginning. The Atlantic Ocean behind me. A beautiful and relaxing day, spent walking with Elsa.
A lot of daily obligations regarding documentation, my employment and obtaining legal status in Portugal prevent me from being present at Noise as much as I would like. Real life situation and obligations (read paperwork) must be respected to the maximum. It's not easy to change your life completely, you know? To change the environment, habits, people in the environment ..... I must admit, all this is easier for me and I am happy because from the very beginning I come across…
