The world is constantly changing and cultures and views are mixing together especially now through the internet. As any change, it needs to get integrated and fined tuned for it to become a good change. Perfection doesn’t exist, everything has it faults. All it matters whether there’s more good than bad. That being said, I’ve lived through very diverse cultures and changes in my life. I grew up in communism, the wall came down when I was 14, I had successes, I had failures, I changed country, I left my community and became accepted in a different culture and community I wasn’t born in. I learnt new language, new customs but I’ve always stuck to my beliefs that I think are universal and all cultures have them with some variations. In regards to previous generations or current oppression, I recognize that people got hurt and it shouldn’t be ignored, it needs be acknowledged and we need to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. These people need to get compensated as it’s the only thing we can do at this moment, we can’t change the past. These are the important things, anything smaller than that is unimportant. So is it really a horrible thing that someone takes on other people’s culture/beliefs and adjusts it to fit their life? Of course, it’s not perfect but can we stop it? Do we have to stop it? What is the real damage? Is it horrible to see the whole elephant by using different cultures views? Personally, I’m excited to see how the internet and social media making all cultures to blend, understand each other and adapt the best of each culture. -

I see it this way. When you want to drive your car, you can’t just sit in the driver seat and command the car: “Drive!” You need to start the engine, release the hand brake etc. So you have a free will to drive the car while you don’t have a free will to do it in any way you wish, you have to follow certain “rules”. -
This journal is such a forest of smileys. haha That’s probably saying something about me

Peekaboo! Haha PS: Thank you for showing up in my reality! -
I’m little bit tired today, other things going on at this moment. Luckily, tomorrow’s another day and hopefully I’ll be feeling much better and more productive.

It’s because you’re observing it through your eyes connected to your brain and interpret it based on your life. My reality revolves around me because I observe it through my eyes connected to my brain and I interpret it based on my life stored in my brain. All this while we are both and everyone is a part of the same humankind, we are on the same planet and are part of the same infinite universe. -

The reality is our “imagination” because we interpret it through our senses. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the world around us doesn’t exist. We can sometimes rely on our senses too much and think that the reality is the exact way we “imagine” it or interpret it. Eagle, dog, bat or slug see the reality different way than we do because their senses work different way to us and that’s their “imagination”. I hope this helps. -
Be careful you might succeed Either way good luck!

Negativity is such a energy sucker. Need to either fix it or get over it. I’m not saying to ignore bad things, I’m just saying to be real about it! Not overly positive and surely not negative, just purely face the facts and fix it or let it be.
-
Sometimes I wonder whether it’s all worth it. I’ve spent decades on testing, analyzing, reading, experimenting and trying to help others for free, maybe once it’ll get appreciated, who knows. Somehow, I have a strong feeling that I have to share my understanding and conclusions as it can help millions of people. I don’t want to sit on something that could make other people’s lives so much easier. Of course, I could be completely wrong but what if I’m right?
-
Thank you for the heads up. I’ve been there, I’ve done that and it sucks. No, I’m not, that’s why I created a little Java software that makes the database creation, adjustments and data entry as easy as I can. So in case things change, it’s easy to redo the database. I’m just being realistic as it’s very likely that the first data structure might not work. There’s a lot of many-to-many relationships in the database so it might be very hard to do it right on the first try. PS: Enjoy your joker movie. Weekends are made to chill
-
This is just like a pregnancy! haha
-
I’ve finally finished the rough data structure. Now I just have to make it perfect or more accurately make it the best I can. Perfection doesn’t exist.
-
Yay, yay, yay, yay! Happy dance here I’ve progressed quite a bit today, it’s nicely moving along. Big chunk of work done, let’s enjoy this great feeling for a bit!
-
Focus, focus, focus, and more focus!
-
Today was supposed to be my fun day. Unfortunately, I’m too distracted to ride my motorbike, I really need to have my focus at the speed we’re doing. Oh well, hopefully I’ll be able to ride next week.
-
This could be a complete flop. Oh well, who cares! As long as I keep trying, I might make it happen, it won’t happen at all without me trying. A miracle can happen tomorrow, I just need to help it little bit.
-
Today I’m having a day off to clear up my head. It hasn’t been working very well last couple of days so let’s give it a break and hopefully tomorrow it will start clicking again.
-
Ok, I want this app to be really good so that’s it, I'll only do it the way that feels right. So back to analyzing, questioning, deciding to make sure that the right things are in. A big NO to confusion and conflicting information!
-
All this questioning myself can get a bit tiring. Why can’t I just sit down and have it done as I’ve done so many times before. It just needs to feel right, I really want to do a good job. I want to have it well analyzed and make sure that it’s correct or at least close to it.
-
I feel little bit lost in all the information. I know there’s a way to organize it well and end up with a simple result even though the process of getting there is complicated. So I decided that instead of trying to keep reading and grouping and classifying the details, I’ll start from the other end. I’ll start from the final result that I want and add the details to it. So I sat down and fully decided on the outcome and now can match the details to it. I feel really good about it. Let see how long that will last
-
I can’t wait to start coding, I so got a clear image of the UI in my head. Only if I could be confident on the structure of the data so I can create the database and use it in the app. I’ve done that before so it shouldn’t be a problem. All the information is ready, I just need get that feeling that it’s right or at least that it’s the best I can do. Still not fully there, let’s keep rereading, reanalyzing, adjusting and maybe it will start feeling right tomorrow. It can help to sleep on things
-
Thank you! It’ll be designed so you can keep updating, changing and reviewing your analysis as much as you want. We are constantly changing and developing so the app is meant to help with any changes and it’ll give tools how to deal with the current situation and can store it so next time it’ll happen you can see how you went about it last time and improve on it. It’ll be up to the person whether they want to use the old analysis or start completely afresh and do a brand new analysis without any reference to the past.

That depends how easily you judge someone as a devil. If you’re compassionate and have understanding there’s not much evil in your life. Also people that know that they are devils excuse that fact that they are one because they think that everyone is devil and that it’s completely fine to be one. They keep reinforcing that belief by calling everyone a devil. These people are dangerous and need to be avoided. -
Should I take it personally? haha I'd keep going but I'm not sure whether it'd be listened to.
