Monday December 24, 2001Christmas time I wish you all a Wonderful Christmas

Sunday October 14, 2001What's happening?
Bush said that if you're not supporting USA you are supporting the terrorists. The humanity organisations can of course not support USA's actions - but don't want to be branded as terrorists - and neither do I. But USA's brainwashing campaign has evidently succeeded when it comes to most top leaders around the western world.
You can't really compliment the western news organisations - everything is coloured by the publishers. One can, on the other hand compliment the thousands of people who have taken a position against USA's actions - around the whole world. The attack on World Trade Center chocked the whole world. This should too.
«Guilty as charged Finally I'd like to remind you what I wrote after the attack on the World Trade Center; some times you wish that you hadn't got right. As a naive believer in the good in humanity this puts a major crack in that belief, as history before also should have proved. Maybe humanity isn't good at all? Other animals would never destroy this much for themselves. Maybe we will wipe out almost everything alive on this earth, so new and better life can blossom - just what happened at the end of the dinosaur's time on Earth. But then again, the sun will fade out eventually, and leave our solar system cold and lifeless again.
This also questions whether Norway - and other countries - should be part of NATO in an all new way. «Once upon a time, there lived a magnificent race of animals, who dominated the world through age after age (...), until suddenly, quite recently, they disappeared. Nature just gave up and started again. We weren't even apes then. We were just these smart little rodents hiding in the rocks. And when we go, nature will start again, with the bees, probably. Nature know when to give up, David.»
«We're not gonna make it, are we? People I mean.» «But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.» (Matt 5, 39) I hope this article made you reflect, even if you don't agree with me. Maybe you wonder why I use quotes from apperent trivial sourches. If I find a good quote, I don't care where it comes from. Feel free to use the guestbook to share your own thoughts. |

Wednesday September 12, 2001What's happening? As a naive believer in the good in humanity this puts a major crack in that belief, as history before also should have proved. Maybe humanity isn't good at all? Other animals would never destroy this much for themselves. Maybe we will wipe out almost everything alive on this earth, so new and better life can blossom - just what happened at the end of the dinosaur's time on Earth. But then again, the sun will fade out eventually, and leave our solar system cold and lifeless again.
«Once upon a time, there lived a magnificent race of animals, who dominated the world through age after age (...), until suddenly, quite recently, they disappeared.

Nature know when to give up, David.»
«We're not gonna make it, are we? People I mean.» In this situation there is a lack of appropriate quotes from the, after all, sweet and peaceful world of Show Me Love, my favourite film, so I've instead found a quote that should be in director Lukas Moodysson's spirit. «But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.» (Matt 5, 39) Feel free to use the guestbook to share your own thoughts. |

Bread in one hand, a sword in the other. It doesn't help much to give food with one hand when you cut off the hands you gave it to with the other. The biggest humanity organisations in Norway, and surely other countries, are united behind a proclamation that this morbid mix of violence and aid has to stop.
One of the bombs has already hit a residental area. 200 innocent people was killed. Just as innocent as them in World Trade Center. People like you and me. That is - they are not at all. Afghanistan is a tormented land after numberous wars. People there needs help. But they get bombs in their heads instead. Is USA any better than the terrorists? Isn't this just as cold and cynical? All lives have equal value, haven't they?
The statue of liberty with a sword in her hand. That's a good picture of USA. Because the Americans are so busy with their freedom that they eventually don't have any freedom after all - and what freedom du you really have in a country that practice the death penalty? They kill their own people too, and hundreds of them have proven to be innocent. I can hardly imagine a greater tragedy. I ask again, isn't all life equal? Isn't life inviolable? Apparently some don't agree.
But there is still a chance for peace. I don't say this will happen now, or in the next hundred years, but eventually, it will if we go on like this. This could be the beginning of a new time: Let's hope this tragedy not leeds to more hatred in the world, and that U.S.A. can learn that new violence won't make anything better, only worse. Violence breeds violence. Unfortunately, I don't think that is possible. I can already see the lust for revenge.
«Human beings are so destructive,» Malcolm said. «I sometimes think we're kind of a plague that will scrub the earth clean. We destroy things so well that I sometimes think, maybe that's our function. Maybe every few eons, some animal comes along that kills of the rest of the world, clears the decks, and lets evolution proceed to its next phase.»
I'm sorry my update comes late. Let me bring my sympathies to our friends in the United States - I hope you are all well, and was not personally hurt by this tragedy. What has happened now is something so unbeliveable that it overcomes what we've even seen on film - it's so cynical it could never be manifested even in fantasy. We could of course hope that this has been a Hollywood movie, a bad dream we can wake up from - but unfortunately - this is real. But no words can describe this - only silence. This is all so unreal, so meaningless.
