Better than disco!!!



Sand covers your life

To go nowhere

I hide.

And the fields widen

With my imagination

Love entire

Love entire

If  you can

In wonderland

A safe place idealy.

My future..

One day at a time, but I do have some good things to look forwards to.  Not going to slack that much.  I like action, keeping busy, and keeping up with thongs.

So Smarco what are your thoughts on evil and the Devil ect in a nut shell.

Human's are not perfect and can do bad, even awful things is a fact.   Today people seem less moral indignation over stuff they might normally and the reason for that is complex and then people look at crime differently and define it weakly.  Some people even think the dark side of life: being destructive, and hurtful, is cool and the best way to deal with things, NOT!

The realm of spirituality was less in writing, and more based on the experience.

Egypt was forward thinking, but it did not appear that way to the rest of the Mediterranean.

Did the the Egyptians seperate "Reality" from the other "spiritual reality"? No. Rarely.

Humans were not seperate or alone from the universe, even death, which being sacred was, deeply connected to our short stay on this "place" which could change into a different place, a mystety of transformation.  It was not a follow a linear line experience, and expanding was hoped for.
The eternal was here, duality: not actually duel natured, evil being fairly outed through history, changes to return that maybe, not entirely missing, imperfect, yet a clear picture of ethics was there.

Something Here and not a precise definition.

There are winter bells

And colder places as well

Also dreams

And wishing wells.

To play the part

Winter is an art

To play with daffodils

Heaven can look like hell

Not really

Yet who knows anything?

Tea time and almost

Almost nude

Looking good in blue..

The video plays

The show is sweet

As new sweet shampoo.

Her dress is blue and cool

Nobody is a fool

Life especially.

On the interstellar boat of dreamscapes

I SILENTLY CAME INSIDE A GIANT OCTOPUS CLOAK

THERE WERE SPACE SEEDS IN THESE DREAMS

FALLING INTO BLAZING TRAILS OF LIGHT

BEAUTY

I AM SURPRISED BY A MAGICAL PARIDISE

FREEDOM

BELIEVE ME I CAN FLY

THE GROWTH OF IDEAS TRANFORMS THR EARTH

PASSIONS TAKE COLORFUL ACTIONS

THE DOOR RIPS OPEN

SEE THE CHANGES

SEE THE CHEESE.

The big memory of 2014 was living in Oakland with one of Oaklands main characters.

The man was African American and was once an owner and head chef of a soul food resturaunt.  He knew slave spiritual songs and was amazing at improvisation.  He wore colorful manly clothes, had a good laugh and could put on a mean stare.  He lived life zestfully and was popular with women.  His shoes were as bright red as his motorcycle.  For me he was the best of Alameda County.  Really quite a character.  I hope you are well.

Historical case studies of countries that successfully escaped the gravitational pull of extreme polarization.When political polarization pulls a nation toward its "event horizon," escape is rare, but historically possible. A comprehensive study by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace reveals that while many countries relapse, several have successfully broken free from toxic polarization through deliberate structural changes, institutional guardrails, or unifying crises.1. Finland (1920s–1930s): Crushing the ExtremesThe Gravitational Pull: In 1918, Finland suffered a brutal civil war between the socialist "Reds" and conservative "Whites". By 1930, a fascist, populist movement known as the Lapua Movement gained massive traction, marching on the capital and attempting an armed coup to overthrow democracy.How They Escaped:Institutional Leadership: In 1932, conservative President Pehr Evind Svinhufvud used a nationwide radio broadcast to firmly condemn the right-wing rebellion, convincing the military and moderate conservatives to withdraw support.Social Compromise: Rather than alienating the defeated left-wing working class, Finland’s center-right forged economic and social compromises. This built a "culture of moderate politics" that united the nation just before World War II.2. New Zealand (1990s): Changing the Rules of the GameThe Gravitational Pull: During the 1970s and 1980s, New Zealand operated under a First-Past-the-Post (FPP) voting system. This structure consistently created massive "manufactured majorities," where a single party would win absolute power with a minority of the popular vote. This led to wild policy swings, immense public distrust, and deep political tribalism.How They Escaped:Structural Reform: Realizing the electoral system was fueling the polarization, citizens voted to completely replace FPP with a Mixed-Member Proportional (MMP) system in 1993.The Result: MMP forced political parties to share power and form coalition governments to rule. This mathematically killed hyper-polarization, making compromise and centrist consensus a mandatory legal requirement for political survival.3. Spain (1975–1978): The Pact of ForgettingThe Gravitational Pull: Spain was deeply fractured after decades of a brutal civil war followed by nearly 40 years of General Francisco Franco's right-wing dictatorship. Upon his death in 1975, the country faced an imminent risk of sliding back into violent civil conflict.How They Escaped:Elite Consensus: Leaders from both the far-left (including communists) and the Francoist right signed El Pacto del Olvido (The Pact of Forgetting). They deliberately chose not to prosecute past crimes or use historical grievances as political weapons during the transition.The Result: This allowed all sides to collaboratively draft the 1978 democratic constitution, establishing a peaceful democracy by prioritizing mutual survival over political vengeance.4. Zambia (2021–2024): Civic Resistance and Legal DefianceThe Gravitational Pull: Between 2011 and 2021, Zambia experienced severe democratic erosion. The ruling party heavily weaponized the state, restricted the media, and aggressively targeted opposition parties to create an "electoral autocracy".How They Escaped:Democratic Reclamation: During the 2021 election, a massive mobilization of civil society, independent election monitors, and young voters overwhelmed systemic voter suppression.The Result: The opposition won in a landslide. Data tracked by Our World in Data notes that Zambia successfully reversed its democratic decline, re-establishing standard liberal democratic checks and balances.Common Escape StrategiesAcross these diverse histories, three universal mechanisms pull societies back from the event horizon:Electoral Re-engineering: Changing voting systems (like New Zealand) to reward cooperation instead of zero-sum conflict.De-escalation Pacts: Elite political actors collectively agreeing to de-radicalize their rhetoric and respect baseline institutions (like Spain and Finland).Mass Civic Mobilization: Everyday citizens voting in numbers too large to suppress, forcing a peaceful transfer of power (like Zambia).
