These Forget-me-nots are posted with thanks to Marie Jestin, who replied to my comment that Monday was Memorial Day in the US: "Never forget!!!!! no war --Freedom!"

That brought to mind these words from "If We Only Have Love" by Jacques Brel:

"If we only have love

We can melt all the guns

And then give the new world

To our daughters and sons..."

I believe that fear and hatred of the "other," a stubborn insistence on seeing differences instead of commonality, underlie all wars, even those that seem spurred by economics. Will you join me in imagining a world where we only have love? Where we see "me" instead of "not-me"?

Als einem Idealbild der Religion der Toleranz, des Friedens und der Liebe auf der einen Seite, ist es nur allzuleicht ein Zerrbild der Religion der Intoleranz, der Gewalt und des Hasses auf der anderen Seite entgegenzuhalten, bei dem nur einige aus der Reihe zu tanzen brauchen.

As an ideal image of the religion of tolerance, peace and love on the one hand, it is all too easy to contrast this with a caricature of the religion of intolerance, violence and hatred, in which only few need to step out of line.

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favour fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

Robert Frost (1874-1963)

If Cupid has arrows for love then this one has his arrows for hatred. Most of my pictures have a background or scene around the avi that goes deeper for a tale and so is the scene from this picture.

Buildings on fire and the world crumbling , is that how our world would be without Love?

With the collar and crown from Zibska and the tats from Antielle did the idea come rather fast once I added my guy's dark wings.

Enjoy!!

Mes pensées envers les victimes et leurs familles après les attentats commis cette nuit en France ... Pourquoi tant de haine, de barbarie sur des personnes innocentes ?

Le monde est fou vraiment !

Bon week-end à vous tous et surtout prenez soin de vous.

--

My thoughts are with the victims and their families after the attacks last night in France ... Why so much hatred, cruelty on innocent people?

The world is really Crazy !

Nice weekend to you all and take care of yourself Especially.

Soon came a day under skies that were gray

When I knew I couldn't stay in this ghost town full of

Clones and clowns and carbon copy towns, with

Kine and swine and nothing that was mine

And this town's decline with my hatred intertwined

So I gather all I find and I bolt it to me

Fueled my fires and I grabbed my pliers, and I'm lit!

I made my own machine

Yes, we're building steam

I hate the same routine

I made my own machine

Yes, we're building steam

I hate the same routine

I made my own machine

Yes, we're building steam

I hate the same routine

I made my own machine

Yes, we're building steam

I hate the same routine

As he cleans out the volcano, the little prince talks with his rose…

Keep loving.

Keep lifting one another up.

Keep shining bright, my friends!

Make Me an instrument of Your peace

Where there is hatred let me sow love.

Where there is darkness let me sow light.

Where there is sadness let me sow joy.

Where there is despair let me sow hope.

...

A Prayer for Peace - Make Me an Instrument - Mei-lan

youtu.be/dw1V8iR9TqA

"Whether we consider the individual, family, local, national or international level, peace must arise from inner peace. For example, making prayers for peace while continuing to harbor anger is futile. Training the mind and overcoming your anger is much more effective than mere prayer. Anger, hatred and jealousy never solve problems, only affection, concern and respect can do that". (Dalai Lama)

"I Rise"

We cannot let ourselves be changed by hatred.

We can change the oppression of women if we speak up, stand together, and rise.

You can recognize survivors of abuse by their courage. When silence is so very inviting, they step forward and share their truth so others know they aren’t alone.

“You don’t love hatred and evil, of course. You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves. That’s what I mean by love.”

Ignorance

Thomas Pynchon

_____________________________________________

In 1984, author Thomas Pynchon observed:

We are often unaware of the scope and structure of our ignorance. Ignorance is not just a blank space on a person's mental map.

It has contours and coherence, and for all I know rules of operation as well. So as a corollary to writing about what we know, maybe we should add getting familiar with our ignorance, and the possibilities therein for ruining a good story.

Ignorance can have negative effects on individuals and societies, but can also benefit them by creating within them the desire to know more.

For example, ignorance within science opens the opportunity to seek knowledge and make discoveries by asking new questions. Though this can only take place if the individual possesses a curious mind.

AND: It is not far from ignorance to hatred !!!

„Die Botschaft von Weihnachten: Es gibt keine größere Kraft als die Liebe. Sie überwindet den Hass wie das Licht die Finsternis.“

Martin Luther King

"The message of Christmas: There is no greater power than love. It overcomes hatred as light overcomes darkness."

Martin Luther King

The boundary betweeen being critical and hateful has faded further... until the people are braindead?

Happily we're now Social Distancing, which helps to prevent to spread the hatred....

How lucky we are...

The look of pure hatred.

She loves me, (very much).

It's my smartphone she hates badly.

Therefore, a second later,

it was severely attacked!

The great entrance gate of the Buddhist temple Zōjō-ji. The gate is really called a Sangedatsu Mon (三解脱門) and anyone passing through here can rid oneself of the three passions of greed, hatred and foolishness. The gate dates to 1622 and is the only building at the temple compound that survived the Second World War.

Zōjō-ji was founded in the 14th century - at another place but it was moved here in 1590. During the Edo period it was one of the two family temples of the Tokugawa family (the other being Kan'ei-ji) and you can find several of their graves here.The temple is the main temple of the Chinzei branch of Jōdo-shū Buddhism.

Tokyo Tower can be seen to the right and dates to 1958.

Hatred seems to be enveloping our world ... like a beast that has risen up from the dark recess of our existence ... what would we do, what would I DO, if I did not have nature to turn to to be reminded of gentleness and beauty!

THANKS for stopping by.

This violence and hatred has to stop. As I have said before, violence only attracts violence, love on the other hand attracts tolerance, patience and the wish to embrace our differences.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Please, let's reject fear and hatred. Let's not scapegoat others. We are better than this.

This is an original image by me.

“I love you, you are the best” - but all that I hear

Is envy, annoyance, injury, hatred and fear

That’s the “love” that I know

Straight, severe and disdaining

How d’you like this new word

I am using for swearing?

Fran and I had a fantastic few days at this beautiful state park. The birds were plentiful, close and fairly cooperative.

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.

If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.

Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?

I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

El odio se amortigua

Será la garra suave.

Dejadme la esperanza.

my house is painted

Hatred will die down

beyond the window.

The talons will be gentle.

Grant me this hope.

Offer your love to those who deserve it, your hatred to those who deserve it, your indifference to all others....

What does it solve to admire a cat, to hear it purr, to kiss it's belly, to scratch it's chin, to have it rise slowly up and down on your chest in the wee hours of the night? Does it solve the problems of climate change, poverty, racism, ignorance, hatred, and violence overall? No..it does none of these things....so why do we keep cats? I think it gives us strength to try to solve these problems and do the right thing...because it helps us want to still exist in this world.

Every day with a cat is a better day. It is a day when you feel human and find that love within your heart and soul.

Look inside your tiny mind, now look a bit harder,ause we're so uninspired, so sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor..

You say, you think we need to go to war :@

It is difficult to comprehend the feeling of worry & tumult that I can't help absorbing from the chaotic events in the news each day. The beauty of Mother Nature (if we don't destroy her) provides solace, for it seems that this is truly ... "The winter of our discontent." ~ William Shakespeare

Hope seems tenuous, but I can't stop believing that the spirit of love will overcome all the hatred that has been unleashed ... "No winter lasts forever; no spring skips it turn." ~ Hal Borland

Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.

- Buddha -

The headless horseman is a spirit of revenge. A tormented soul who wanders the world of the living in search of new victims, who crosses the shadows of the night like lightning on the back of his dark mount and leaves only neighs and ghostly whispers, missing bodies and full pumpkins in his wake. of rot and hatred. What is considered by many to be the first all-American ghost story came from the mind of writer Washington Irving and has been warming hearts since the early 19th century.

Hatred's occultation

causing harm upon their relation.

No amour tomorrow when love

shall be consumed by sorrow.

Sorrow!

In olden days these kind

of acts were a shameful disgrace.

Maybe the price of jealousy and

hate sealed her malicious fate.

One night the village was

awakened by agonizing screams.

Her castle burned like sceneries in Hell,

she suffered like a pig.

Oh God, I love this tale to tell!

Whorish desire sentenced

with the punishment of fire.

Repulsive temptress in white

prepare to die, and kiss thy pale

warm skin goodbye.

Hör mir zu, dein Fleisch ist

in meiner Welt verboten.

Du sollst tanzen im Schattenreich,

dem Land der Toten.

In Dunkelheit, in Finsternis

und Einsamkeit.

In Finsternis, in Dunkelheit!

Whorish desire sentenced

with the punishment of fire.

Unfaithful mistress in white

where is your pride?

Accept your faith in twilight!

In Dunkelheit,

in Finsternis und Einsamkeit.

In Grausamkeit und Finsternis.

Im Schattenreich!

Carach Angren

Through the Broken

God spoke through the broken

through the oppressed

the poor

and the hungry.

His voice was theirs

He spoke, but the world did not listen

Men covered their ears

as they covered their eyes

screaming condemnation

screaming hatred

screaming lies.

Baby go ahead, I'll be your hatred and your pain

This is killing us all, I don't care if I fall we're the daring, we are the damned.

Baby go ahead, I'll be the villain you can blame

I'll be the belle of the brawl, be the lust in us all

I'm the diva of the damned.

“In The Dynamics of Creation, Anthony Storr, the British psychiatrist, contends that an individual who “fears love almost as much as he fears hatred” may turn to creative activity not only out of an impulse to experience aesthetic pleasure, or the delight of exercising an active mind, but also to defend himself against anxiety stimulated by conflicting demands for detachment and human contact.21”
