I didn’t nail down the cables, however I did do som electrical work. But what I did do was do errands with the kid. I also did some gardening in the community garden. We own the gardens surrounding our houses together with the other houses. We need to trim and cut trees, bushes and such on our own. We have no gardener. I did some of that today. I enjoyed it. I left all branches on the garden, hoping someone else picks it up. I didn’t feel like cleaning today. I just cut it down. I will clean the waste tomorrow.
I am pretty tired now and tomorrow is a day of gardening at home.
The news have been pretty strange. Not to far away an apartment got blown away, according to DN.se. For what reason isn’t known. There are theories, but since they are just guessing I do not bother to tell you about it yet. They have to investigate. However three people died in the explosion, 2 kids and an adult according to the news.
Also a cat murderer is running loose in Gothenburg, according to the news the past month. Perhaps he is now caught, according to DN.se. The suspect is a 16-year-old. Anyone that kills pets for fun is surely crazy. Pets are family members and the penalty should be the same for murdering a pet as it is for a human. What a terrible sorrow for the cats family members to know their cat was tortured before it died. What a cruel person does that? I hope it is the right person caught, we cannot have people going around killing pets in society.
One thing is for sure, the more information you give, even innocent information, the more they know about you.
A recent study of 58 000 Facebook users shows that just by liking social profiling is made possible, just by knowing what you like the scientists could give an ethnic profiling, IQ, sexual orientation and other stuff, according to the SVD.se article.
This I already knew, but I am guessing all stupid people on Facebook don’t. This is how marketing works. Making stereotypes. Labeling people in categories. Then the marketers with the knowledge target you and manipulate you to buy and consume their stuff whether or not you need it. They will create the need in you just by saying and showing you the right stuff. This is how it works. And your primitive mind just goes along with it.
The more you start seeing your surroundings the more you will understand that you are just cheep being controlled by your environment. However even if the environment thinks they control you, you are still free to step away and walk against the stream. Don’t be like everyone else. Be bold. Be a beautiful soul. Be yourself. The real you. Conquer the world or whatever you feel you want to do.
I gained some knew knowledge and my brain went hey wired. This in fact means I dreamed about what I had learned and tried to find solutions whilst sleeping. So I wasn’t especially relaxed by gaining the knew knowledge. I realized a lot of things and I also realized I was happy with not doing according to the knew knowledge, but at the same time disturbed. I cannot do it, I think I have done the best solution, but according to the knew knowledge I should really do it another way. However I find the new way very disturbing, even though I would like to…
I do not want to tell you what it was, since I do not want to show what new knowledge I have gained. But then again I am usually like that, going against the stream. Like Louise Hoffsten sings, only “Dead fish follow the stream”. I like doing it my own way, against the stream. But I like having the information to. Hehehe.
Don’t become a robot or keep being one if you already are.
5000 people have been declared dead by Pensionsmyndigheten according to DN webb-tv. Errors in the system they say. This is a wonderful ethical question which I have addressed earlier in one work place. So indeed this is very interesting that this authority has pronounced 5000 living people in Sweden as dead. Interesting. Incompetent people as usual in action. That is all I have to say.
How are the big corporations any better than the old empires, kings, queens, popes or any other person that ruled the world before? They enslaved the population, so do the big corporation. Is part of the human race ment to be slaves to the rich? I am just wondering. I do not really enjoy this world of ours. There are not equal opportunities for men and women, class, ethnic background and such. Not as long as we continue differentiating people by gender, by age, by looks, by ethnic inheritance, by social class, by richness and so on. All those things actually show us that we are not equal. A cleaner is payed 12000 SEK per month for a full-time job in Sweden. Some might even get less. Some do not even get full-time jobs. A mall 1 room apartment can kost 5000 SEK. 12000 SEK is what the cleaner has before taxes. So you can figure out the numbers your self. Tax is dependent on the area where you live. The better the neighbourhood the lower the tax is almost always true (those that are rich enough get additional taxes). As a cleaner you probably need to live in a bad neighbourhood… otherwise you probably can’t afford it. So you get higher tax. This is Sweden’s tax system.
Well, anyway, the cleaner has a low status job, but is very important. Due to the cleaner the company or organisation can have healthier staff that get sick less. With that said, not everyone can do cleaning, some are allergic, others have problems in limbs and some do not have the eye for cleaning. So when someone says anyone can do that job – they are wrong. There are good and bad cleaners out there.
Well, companies that have a lot of cleaners have managers on the top. Some are really big corporations. They earn money on each one of these cleaners, otherwise they wouldn’t be in business, would they? Well, anyway, the owners are rich on the top of the food chain. They can live in luxury and have big boats and awesome homes. Some can afford to be eco-friendly and build giant eco-friendly houses for themselves. They can have enormous estates and get richer and richer each day. Until the day they feel bad and start doing charity. Instead of higher salary to the workers they make foundations. From those people have to apply for money. The founder of the foundations can pick and choose to their liking.
There is no foundation for paying off student loans for us workers. So even if you been to the university and done your homework some of these people still end up cleaning your shit up at your company. Some have higher education than you. Some are treated good, but some are treated bad. Some people behave like the cleaners are not worth the same. Others behave like the cleaners are the same as they. There are people for everything.
Well. Anyway. You buy stuff. You might also be short on money. Since the cleaner in Sweden doesn’t earn that much as another person might do, the cleaner must buy cheap. This means someone in the world needs to be even lower paid, so that the cleaner can afford the stuff. Somewhere else in the world that is. So in Asian countries some work for a couple of crowns per day. In Sweden you would get some shewing gum or candy for that money each day. Who can live on that? The person would definitely be poor and have no house. Probably the person wouldn’t even be able to afford a tent. It would have to rely on you or me giving a tent to them. This is reality. Today. NOW! And you and I are part of this system. Want to change it? Enlight people. Chat. Talk. Write. Blog. Recommend sites, films people have made and so on.
So with this to think about I give you this film, from YouTube. Enjoy!
In todays Dn.se I can read that the families to the textile factory workers in Ashulia that died in the fire get 8000 SEK per dead person. That is not a lot of money, but since I happen to know that many of them make very little compared to us in the western world that is a lot. It was obviously a Hong Kong based company that bought merchandice from this factory and they are compensating the factory workers families. For me it’s very little money, it’s 872000 SEK for all the 109 (source Dn.se) dead. For that I cannot even buy a decent apartment in Stockholm. In Sweden its about four years of income for a low income person. It’s not much since they loose a family member for the rest of their lifes, someone that possibly was a family provider. I wish they would be compensated so that the families are supported until the children to the factory workers are dead. This way it would be good. This way the family would be provided for. I do not know how much a house costs over there and how much money a person need in order to live a life time. I think that is what they should have – a house, food and a normal living standard for the rest of the families life. If 8000SEK is that… then I guess the families manage. If it’s not… then it’s bad. However the article doesn’t say.
A dutch company also bought from this factory to their stores, maybe they too will compensate the families? After all, they make a lot of money on having production in Bangladesh. I hope the dutch too compensate, so that the 8000 SEK is more.
A girl, working as a volonteer at a orphanage, got pains after dining out at a Indian restaurant. They went home to the place where they stayed and the Swedish girl died. It´s suspected that she was poisioned, according to Aftonbladet.se. The authoroties are now saying it could take up to five years to investigate and make an autopsy, according to the article. I am saying, the autopsy can me made in Sweden and much faster. Please release the body, it´s disrespectful to keep a Swedish body hostage in a foreign country far away from the family. It´s inhumane. It´s disrespect to all of the Swedish population. If I die abroud I want my body returned home as fast as possible. I have been in India. Imagine if I would have died there… and not been allowed to go home? What a terrible thing, if I would have known that I would never have gone to India.
I think Indian authooroties should be ashamed. People even got home earlier after the tsunami. I think it´s terrible. Release the body to the Swedish mother. She needs closure. Please.
…never the less if everyone is going to get any rights someone needs to fight for it. Taliban’s tried to kill a young girl fighting for human rights, according to Dn.se. All this happened in Pakistan in Swatdalen according to DN.se. She just wanted girls to have rights to study and to educate themselves. I think everyone should have that right.
If the Taliban are for discrimination, then I think it´s okey for the rest of the world to discriminate the Taliban. Treat others as you want to be treated. I am sorry to say so, but it is very Christian of me. The bible is full of conflict, war, killings and such. But we western countries have come so much further than to kill someone just because we want all their virgin girls. I actually read a chapter like that in the Bible the other day.
I happen to think we are all equal and all our actions say to the rest of the world who we are. Humans are cruel by nature many times and we have to fight our evilness that all humans bear within. By fighting for human rights we are changing as humans to become more humane. Everyone should have the possibility to a free education. Everyone, no matter what sex, economic capabilities and cultural inheritance. Even Taliban children should have that, not just the men. Without women there would be no men, that is the truth.
The Taliban will only get the world´s rage on them more and more when they are doing things like DN.se article today said – trying to kill a 14-year-old girl for wanting to get an education for girls.
All the world needs to fight for equal rights and we all need to use the power of thought and words, peaceful actions to show the Taliban that they are wrong and we are right.
A new type of false rumors are spreading on the Internet. According to Dn.se the Internet rumors are saying that celebrities died. They are said to be killed in accidents etcetera. A scientist in social networks says that rumors spread easily on Twitter and Facebook, according to the article.
It cannot be easy to be a target for pranks… but I do think that the boy I read about on SVT text had it worse, he was according to the text-TV pronounced dead in the Swedish system for 2 weeks before someone realized the mistake. He got 10 000 SEK from penalties from the state for that incident. That wasn´t a prank, it was a mistake by a human. Not so fun for the 16 year old though.
Our planet and all its inhabitants continues to amaze me. This time we can get some socialantropological news in DN.se. The story in the article is about a group of people that unberry their dead relatives and dress them in the latest fashion. The country is Indonesia and this happens every 3rd year and the relatives gather to this event.
Strange tradition, might seem odd for many of us? But I can at the same time understand that they want to show the dead their respect by thinking of them too. It´s a way to remember the dead for a long time to come. For Swedes that follow tradition they light candles at home or/and at the grave yard at “Allehelgona”-weekend. That is the Swedish weekend each year for the rememberence of our dead.
Within the subject of social antropology you get to know about cultures and how they differ from us. After studies in the subject one area to work with is beeing a social antropologist. Many times they travel and live with the different cultures in order to document the cultures view on life, family, culture, life, death, love, birth, maturity etcetera. They study what is important for the culture and certain traditions. Its a interesting subject and you get to know about some very different views on life and what is a family and what is important for that culture.
Well, earth is full of other perspectives than yours and mine. And who is to say your view on life is more right than anothers?
