Light a candle
Light a candle… or perhaps not… considering the environmental issues with candles and lighting. But light a candle in your mind for all that you believe in. For all the worlds kids and the planet we live on. Light a candle and do not let hope disapear, light a candle for all you believe in, for this planet we live on, light a candle for all the kids on our planet, christmas is coming, promise to take care of yourself and this greeting is for you etcetera etcetera. All that is the content in this Swedish song. I haven’t heard a English variant of the song, even though it is a nice song.

Imagine truce in Gaza
I wrote how feed up I was just the other day and today they have made a official truce in Israel and Gaza, according to Aftonbladet.se. Wonderful. Let them now keep the truce. Let people stop killing each other. Let this be it, so that people can start to live a normal life after years of war.
No more children and civilians getting hurt, please.

Obama won the elections and what does that mean?
Perhaps it means a better world for more people. At least that is what I hope for. I hope a world of solidarity will continue to grow. The egoistic world is not a winning kind. We only have one planet. We are allready to many people. We have uneven distribution of goods. Some have to much and others have nothing.
I think a democrate in the White House is better than the other option. But US elections are much about people and not that much a party. I just hope Obama is given the tools to really make more changes. US needs to change. Nobody should be homeless when some live in luxury. Maybe there should be no people living in giant houses and noone living without housing at all. I think none of those choices is the right one for anyone. A house can be pretty big before it turns into a castle. Some are just one person and live in enormous castle-like houses. I think it´s sad that some have a lot whilst others have nothing. Why some have all the luck and others all the bad luck.
It´s like two sides of two worlds. I do not prefer either of them. I would very much want everyone to have food on the plate, clean clothes on their bodies and a real quality roof and walls each night and day. Not a prison, but a home. I would very much enjoy if everyone had that. It doesn´t need to be a big apartment, it could be like 15square meters big for a single person. It should have a small kitchen and toilet with shower. And connected to that there should of course be clean water supply and drainage, so that the environment isn´t pulluted. The housing could be driven by sun-, wind- or water-energy. It doesn´t need to be any power that pollutes the world. The housing material should be sustainable and environmentally friendly as much as possible. The houses in colder parts of the world should be passive houses, so it doesn´t need that much energy.
I think everyone should have the possiblity of a home to live in. Even if it´s small. I don´t think electricity is necessary, so not all parts of the world need that. People still survived in Sweden some hundred years ago when we didn´t have electricity in each home. Many things are not necessary. But food is and some kind of shelter/housing is too. And some kind of clothing.
Well, I hope that we will continue to develop our earth and stop pullution of it. Countries like China needs to demand clean water and plumbing. They need to have cleaning systems for factories and so on. Also work conditions for slaves, o sorry, I mean workers in third world countries must improve. Just working all day and sleeping isn´t much of a life. People should have some free time to spend with friends and family, or just beeing alone.
The world should continue to improve and I hope that the American leader also will work for improvement of not just his country, but the rest of the world too…
Some have a lot… others have nothing. Change. You can do it. You can write, talk and inform others! If you can you can give time to sharity. If you can you can give money. If you can… you can. Do a little, it´s better than doing nothing. If you don´t who does? If you want the world to change you can start with you first. Others can follow.
Infirtile hope in research
Some infirtile mice envolved in a trial to get them pregnant succeded according to a article in DN.se. They picked out stem cells and then they grew the stam cells with ovarie tissue and got a early development of eggs. The eggs were then implanted into the female mice again. Then the mature eggs were picked out, fertilized and pit back into the mice females. Later on healthy mice babies were born. All this in todays Dn.se.
Weather on not it works on humans we cannot yet know at this stage, but perhaps it will. However I think this is far away in the future before it is a treatment within health care. Behind the researh is Kyoto University.

Are people loosing their hopes in the economic cutbacks?
In SVD.se we can read an article about the Italians loosing there hope. But when I read the article I don´t think their faith is so much different from other western countries in the world.In the article we can read that there are being cut backs and relocations of industries. This is happening in the Nordic countries as well. Here it has been ongoing since the IT-crash in 2001. The organisations are slimmed, the companies have many manufacturers abroad. The Nordic jobs have been lost to lower-income countries with cheap labor.
Well, all around the world western countries have seen industries disappear to Asia, and an oncoming marked now that is upcoming is Africa. With the jobs the security decreases. Some find new areas of work and others don´t. The people who can stand up to the competition are the ones that are attractive on the job market. The ones that have more odds against them will have a more difficult time without Lady Luck on their side.
But there are of course differences in other parts, like SVD article stipulates. The country finances are different between Italy and the Nordic countries. However people are loosing hope in many places of the world. So how can we increase hope? We can be kind, we can believe in our friends ability to make a future, we can support their ideas and such. We can be a kindhearted human being for a fellow-man.
Together we can change the future, we can create hope. We can make new companies. We can do it, if we just want to. Together. We can create companies that don´t move the jobs abroad. We can create a better climate. A better environment. Better work places. Places where people are happier. Places with harmony. We all have the power to do this. The governments should support the people in doing so. So why don´t they start the work? Why not invest in the people? Why not gather all the unemployed and ask them what their dream work places are?
It´s not an easy task. I know that people start loosing hope when they don´t feel needed or wanted. But I am one of many with the skill to get out this type of information from people I meet. I have always had this skill. I am much better in believing in others and motivating them. I think this is the solution. The governments should invest in green technology, technology that does not have to use electricity from the grid. The governments should use this time to create smart recycling systems where products don´t need to be reprocessed completely in order to be sold again after recycling. There are many things that can be done.
I am just one of many with a lot of ideas, but I have no money to realize them. I have never had money to make my dreams come true. But the government has… so why don´t they?
