“Rich is……….

the one who is satisfied and happy”

Aristoteles

(Greek Philosopher 384-322 before Christ)

….I often think of this when regarding the relationship of many people in China and the Western world towards money and materialism in their daily life. I think of how much this characterizes our life and the way how people relate to each other.

I at the same time realize that many especially young people care for their hope, not to be too materialistic, not to be ruled by money.

And I also realize how hard but also how pleasant this job is. 🙂

Dogmatism versus flowers where I live

It should not be intimidated by the dogmatist,
and the right partner should try to see the flowers,
that grow on our land still can.
We have not finished discussion culture
but should not shy away from the work of cultivating.
This should develop thoughts.
Therefore, no thought be condemned.
We should teach each other (be), not pedantic,
but as one of my Jewish friends once said,
how to learn Jewish dances.
We can develop our thoughts here ever
and we should not be intimidated by the rights holders,
to even be dogmatist.
The place
where we are right
At the place where we are right,
will never grow flowers
in the spring.
The place where we are right,
is hard and trampled
like a court.
Doubt and love but
lighten up the world
like a mole, like a plow.
And a whisper is heard
at the place where the house stood,
which was destroyed.
Yehuda Amichai:
* 3 May 1924 in Würzburg; † 22 September 2000 in Jerusalem

Men and women…………

There is an old saying in China, 男女授受不亲(nán nǚ shòu shòu bù qīn), which means “men and women should maintain a proper distance from each other”.

Just have a look how it works today. 🙂

Eyes or ears?

In western countries it is very popular and of course useful to look at somebody to get an impression of his body-language, nonverbal behaviour and his state of feeling. It is important to get an impression of that what is not put into words or verbal expression. This eye-approach is quite typical for western country. So the visual part of communication is activated and vitalized and a necessary competence for communication.

Of course people in China …………..

Sweatening

how do you distinguish cold sweat (fear sweat) and sweat from too hard working?

I think the difference is of important relevance concerning the present working situation in Europe but also in China:

too much, too fast, too much overloaded, too unclear, too ….too…

In Germany we have to deal with burn-out, depression and burn-out. In china there is already a high percentage of depression deriving from the working situation also.

So distinguishing the two different kinds of sweat can help to realitze if you or your friend is working too much and afraid to slow down (because of fear) or if he really likes hard work and enjoys. That mewans is motivated and not burded out.

Sensation and motion

Does perception shape our information-seeking activity or do we rely on predetermined data-gathering motions?

That`s a very important question which is answered up to a sufficiant end.

Here the important result in one sentence.

“If it starts anywhere, it starts with the motor movement and not with the sensory reception.”

Just stunned shame

some days again an Indian was raped and brutalized sexually abused. This time it was a 6 year old little girl. I can`t find any words to talk about just to post the link to the Times of India.

At the same time I want to bring into mind again how often this happens mostly to woman and girls, not only in India. You read about sexual raping and abuse all over the world: Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iran but also in Europe and the US.

What kind of rude affect and psychological state of mind and political interest is hidden?

What does this mean considering the fact that we do no longer live in the middle ages?
