Taking the pulse to the world

Name: Michel
Place: Berlin, Germany
Years: 24
Ocupation: Student of Law (Human Rights one day, hopefully..)

Which do you think is the main problem that affects the world?
1. Planet earth: Human Beings

2. Universe: Human beings don't affect it. They think they are the crown and the center, oh dear...

3. Michael Bay. ;)

How can it be solved?
1. Planet Earth: Through Human Beings

2. The Universe will still exist in Millions of years, humans won't (I guess)

3. Franz Kafka, Oe Kenzaburo, Tsuang-Tse, Malalai Joya. :)

What can you do to collaborate in its solution?
First degree: Act well, be friendly, smile at people, give warmth, listen, let go your ego sometimes, meet lots of different people, be respectful

Second degree: Stay critical, have an opinion and speak it out, understand reasons, history and developements of societies (and single people) when critisizing, question everything (also yourself and your views), reject dogmas, read, learn

Third degree: Actively work for small or big NGOs (even if just a little), do art, make people think and question, fight (peacefully), go to demonstrations, live consciously, do not support 'bad' companies, scream

Forth degree: Be happy. Laugh about yourself. Slow down. Breath.
Stay attentious and critical, but stay soft. Let not the world
harden you. Cry sometimes.


Still working on doing all these.
(First to fourth was actually random, it's no 'levels')




Which do you think is the main problem that affects you region or environment?
Human Beings


How can it be solved?
Through Human Beings

What can you do to collaborate in its solution?
Same answer as before.

Are you happy in live? Why?
What's happiness?

Sometimes. Very rarely 100%. Not much these days.
But life is good to me I guess, so I shouldn't complain.

Emptiness can be bliss.

How could you be happier?
Probably through being and acting like I want me to. Maybe through helping people. More breathing, more being.
But I don't know if I'll be happier then.
So:
I have no clue.

Meeting (certain) people often makes me happy for a short moment. Small moments.

Which do you think is the secret of happiness?
Frank'n'Furter said it, didn't he?
Don't dream it- be it!
Try not to care about the dogmas and views of society, as long as you don't hurt anybody. Fuck society.

That's just one idea. Maybe...:
Smile.
Breath.
Treat yourself well.
Treat others well.
Slow down sometimes.
Enjoy life.
Eat well.
Kiss.
Have sex and enjoy it.

But happiness is different for everybody.

I'll try to tell you again my thoughts in 60 years.

Coment:
1. Warmest greetings to Alex...crazy girl, you're still touring the world. Come by Berlin again some time. The beach camp maybe?

2. Hope you guys didn't miss Hangzhou and the gardens of Suzhou when being in the area. Oh, and, if you ever are somewhere near: Taiwan is beautiful (as everywhere is, I know, but so few people go to Taiwan).

Take good care
Michel
