Moral philosophy has always been an exercise in make-believe, less realistic in its picture of human life than the average bourgeois novel. We must look elsewhere if we want anything that approaches the truth.

Here is a true story. A sixteen-year-old prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp was raped by a guard. Knowing that any prisoner who appeared without a cap on morning parade was immediately shot, the guard stole his victim’s cap. The victim once shot, the rape could not be uncovered. The prisoner knew that his only chance of life was to find a cap. So he stole the cap of another camp inmate, asleep in bed, and lived to tell the tale. The other prisoner was shot.

Roman Frister, the prisoner who stole the cap, describes the death of his fellow inmate as follows:

The officer and the kapo walked down the lines.… I counted the seconds as they counted the prisoners. I wanted it to be over. They were up to row four. The capless man didn’t beg for his life. We all knew the rules of the game, the killers and the killed alike. There was no need for words. The shot rang out without warning. There was a short, dry, echoless thud. One bullet to the brain. They always shot you in the back of the skull. There was a war on. Ammunition had to be used sparingly. I didn’t want to know who the man was. I was delighted to be alive.

What does morality say the young prisoner ought to have done? It says that human life has no price. Very well. Should he therefore have consented to lose his life? Or does the pricelessness of life mean that he was justified in doing anything to save his own? Morality is supposed to be universal and categorical. But the lesson of Roman Frister’s story is that it is a convenience, to be relied upon only in normal times.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, and compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

Lao Tzu

 

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.

Dalai Lama

 

Our uniqueness, our individuality, and our life experience molds us into fascinating beings. I hope we can embrace that. I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together.

Linda Thompson

 

Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men.

Confucius

 

The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.

Compassion is the basis of morality.

Abraham is the father of the multitude, a biblical character: the son of Terah, the father of Ishmael and Isaac. Ancestor of Jews, Arabs and other nations. The first of the three Jewish patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob); the first to be called a Jew in the Bible (Gen. 14:13). In Islam, it corresponds to Ibrahim, the son of Azar.

 

In the New Testament, Abraham, along with Moses, is the most frequently mentioned Old Testament righteous man. The genealogy of Jesus is traced back to Abraham, the progenitor of all Jews: “The genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham” (Matthew 1:1).

 

In the Christian tradition, the image of Patriarch Abraham serves as a prototype of the highest piety and righteousness in both the Old and New Testaments. According to John Chrysostom, Abraham was the guardian and teacher of the faith and morality of his people among the pagans around him.

Згідно з Біблією, і з погляду юдаїзму Авраам — родоначальник старожитніх євреїв, перший в Біблії названий євреєм (а нащадки його онука Якова вже звуться ізраільтянами). З точки зору мусульман — також родоначальник арабів (агарян або ізмаїлтян — нащадків його сина Ізмаїла від Агар). З точки зору християнства (зокрема православ'я та католицизму), так само як усіх вищеназваних віровчень — один з трьох родоначальників маючи на увазі всього людства в духовному розумінні, тобто вчителів і духовних наставників, поряд з його сином Ісааком і онуком Яковом.

~happy fence friday~

“Humility consists in being precisely the person you actually are before God...humility brings with it a deep refinement of spirit, a peacefulness, a tact, and a common sense without which there is no sane morality. How do you expect to arrive at the end of your own journey if you take the road to another man’s city? Heroic humility is to be yourself and to be nobody but the man, or the artist, that God intended you to be.”

La vera moralità consiste non già nel seguire il sentiero battuto, ma nel trovare la propria strada e seguirla coraggiosamente

( Mahatma Gandhi )

 

True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding one's own way and in following it bravely

habit minus morality is comfortable and easy to do

no one likes the new

not me or you

and so when rulers want to change you

for their good

keep your habits

keep being you.

Forget sanity, forget salary,

Forget vanity, my morality,

If you get in between someone I love and me,

You’re gonna feel the heat of my cavalry,

All these songs I’m hearing are so heartless,

Don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless.

The Big Buddha is a large bronze sculpture of Buddha, completed in 1993, and located at Ngong Ping, near Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island, Hong Kong.

 

The sculpture's base is a model of the one in the United Kingdom. One of the five large Buddha images in China, it is enthroned on a lotus on top of a three-platform altar. Surrounding it are six smaller bronze images known as "The Offering of the Six Devas" that are posed offering flowers, incense, lamp, ointment, fruit, and music to the Buddha, representing the Six Perfections of generosity, morality, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom, necessary for Enlightenment in life.

 

The 34 m (112 ft) tall image weighs over 250 metric tons (280 short tons), and was constructed from 202 bronze pieces. In addition to the exterior components, there is a strong steel framework inside to support the heavy load. Visitors have to climb 268 steps to reach the Buddha. The Buddha's right hand is raised, representing the removal of affliction, while the left rests open on his lap in a gesture of generosity.

It is apparently a Victorian saying that was meant to encourage morality and work.

I have a home

When others are homeless.

I take a bath every day in winter when

Others don't have access to drinking water.

I sometimes buy clothes I don't need because they are on sale when others don't have warm clothing or clothes without holes.

Am I a good person?

 

The people who most need to do art for their mental health cannot afford to do art and I have expensive camera equipment.

Am I a good person?

 

I have enough to eat for sustenance and I indulge in extra treats like chocolate when others go hungry.

Am I a good person?

 

I don't believe in violence as an answer but the taxes I pay fund my government's oppression of people all over the world.

Am I a good person?

 

I travel to different countries for pleasure

While others travel out of necessity to stay alive.

Am I a good person?

 

I am definitely a person with good intentions. I am also a lonely person, a human amazed by vastness, a philosophical person

and often a devastated person but

Am I a good person?

Dignity is the right of a person to be valued and respected for their own sake, and to be treated ethically. It is of significance in morality, ethics, law and politics as an extension of the Enlightenment-era concepts of inherent, inalienable rights. The term may also be used to describe personal conduct, as in "behaving with dignity".

"For decades to come, scholars will study how a small, oppressive, foreign regime (Israel), built on a deeply racist and fundamentally violent ideology (Zionism), gained so much control over the foreign & domestic policy of the US, UK, Germany & several other Western countries, compelling them to ignore the interests of their own countries, the wishes of their own citizens, international law, and even basic morality, to raid their treasuries and attack their own people, all on behalf of that one oppressive foreign regime." - Craig Mokhiber ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️ Gardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru/ National Botanic Garden of Wales - Sir Gaerfyrddin/ Carmarthenshire

These beach huts are in Pwllheli, Wales, United Kingdom. A beach hut or bathing box, is usually brightly coloured and above the high tide mark on bathing beaches. Beach huts have been around since 1862, largely came about off the Victorian age of morality. Generally used for shelter and changing in, some people have tea and coffee making facilities and basic food storage, and preparation facilities within them. In the early 20th century they were regarded as holiday homes for the toiling (working) classes. Now, a beach hut can retail for £39,000 to £50,000 in the UK, €46,000 to €59,000 Euro or $51,000 to $66,000 US Dollar, not for the working classes anymore!

To Prologue of the Story "The Doors"

 

♫♫Ed Sheeran - Perfect♫♫

 

Free from the suffocating conformity of her past world, she marveled at the liberated realm she had discovered. The societal norms that had once bound her like chains now dissolved into mere wisps of vapor, revealing a vibrant and eccentric world where individuality flourished without judgment. Questions that had haunted her previously now seemed trivial, like echoes from a distant dream.

 

In this new reality, she reveled in the absence of societal expectations and the freedom to explore her own desires and beliefs. The constant bombardment of opinions and judgments from the masses, which had once plagued her thoughts, vanished into oblivion. Instead, she found solace in the profound connection she forged with her own inner voice.

 

The constructs that had once defined her every move — the endless rules, the bizarre limitations, and the arbitrary boundaries —seemed like relics of an oppressive regime now a distant memory. She marveled at how people had blindly accepted these artificial constraints, allowing them to dictate their thoughts and actions.

 

The weight of others' opinions, which had once weighed heavily upon her shoulders, now lifted as though they had been carried away by the ethereal winds. The suffocating pressure to conform to an ill-defined and ever-changing social norm was gone, replaced by a sense of liberation and self-discovery.

 

Amidst the mesmerizing symphony of strings and cascading melodies, her senses soared to unimaginable heights. As she immersed herself in the graceful movements of the stranger’s body, a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues and ethereal impressions exploded before her eyes. The boundaries between the known and unknown blurred, giving way to an unrestricted exploration of a world where questions and limitations ceased to exist.

 

Within this newfound realm, the music consumed her, dissolving the trivial distractions that once cluttered her mind. The beauty and perfection of This Enigma, in its celestial dance, became the focal point of her being, eclipsing all preconceived notions and social norms. The age-old debate of human decency, plastic surgery, and societal expectations melted away, leaving only an unbridled appreciation for the perfection of form.

 

With each passing chord, the enchantment grew stronger. Time seemed to stand still as she reveled in the harmony of movement and sound, oblivious to the outside world. Questions of identity, purpose, and morality faded into insignificance, replaced by an overwhelming sense of tranquility and fulfillment.

 

In this realm of boundless beauty and peace, she discovered a freedom that transcended all earthly constraints. The body became a canvas upon which the universe painted its masterpiece, a testament to the infinite creativity and wonder of existence. And in the embrace of this celestial symphony, she found solace and liberation, a sanctuary where the superficiality and trivialities of the mundane world held no sway.

Wuthering Heights is an 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, initially published under her pen name "Ellis Bell". It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire moors, the Earnshaws and the Lintons, and their turbulent relationships with the Earnshaws' foster son, Heathcliff. The novel was influenced by Romanticism and Gothic fiction.

 

Wuthering Heights is now widely considered to be one of the greatest novels ever written in English, but contemporaneous reviews were polarised. It was controversial for its depictions of mental and physical cruelty, including domestic abuse, and for its challenges to Victorian morality, religion, and the class system.

“Your own politicians make our Dr. Goebbels look like a child playing with picture books in a kindergarten. They speak of morality while they douse screaming children and old women in burning napalm. Your draft-resisters are called cowards and ‘peaceniks.’ For refusing to follow orders they are either put in jails or scourged from the country. Those who demonstrate against this country's unfortunate Asian adventure are clubbed down in the streets. The GI soldiers who kill the innocent are decorated by Presidents, welcomed home from the bayoneting of children and the burning of hospitals with parades and bunting. They are given dinners, Keys to the City, free tickets to pro football games.”

Feel the fire where she walks

Lola Montez so beautiful

Shady and a tempered dame

Blinding your eyes with her spider dance

 

Her performance utterly erotic subversive to all ideas

And for public morality

And cool as she was, she didn't care

See the miner throw his gold

Lifting her skirt howling loud like a wolf

Hell raising and full of sin

When Lola was dancing and showing her skin

 

Wherever she walks

She will be captivating all the men

Don't look in her eyes

You might fall and find the love of your life, heavenly

But she'll catch you in her web

The love of your life, yeah

 

Feel the fire where she walks

Lola Montez so beautiful

Shady and a tempered dame

Blinding your eyes with her spider dance

 

Well notorious I have been

But never for fame that's what she said

Dear Henry taste my whip

Never to see any words you print

 

Wherever she walks

She will be captivating all the men

Don't look in her eyes

You might fall and find the love of your life, heavenly

But she'll catch you in her web

The love of your life, yeah

 

Oh Lola I'm sure that the love would have been

The key to all your pain, the key to all your pain

No words will later come

Did the spider bite your tongue

We will surely not forget

We will surely not forget

The Lola spider dance

 

Whoa

Don't look in her eyes

You might fall and find the love of your life, heavenly

But she'll catch you in her web

The love of your life, yeah

Our group challenge called "Five On The Fifth" (FOTF) was set by me this month. I chose the theme Fairy tale probably because I wanted an excuse to try a fantasy themed image pushing myself to use Photoshop. I tried many iterations which I ended up scraping but stuck it out with this one. The base image is from a foggy morning at my local lake and a waterfall from Kinglake. Red Ridinghood is the model Jess provided byAndrew and the wolf eyes by Fullmetal-fox on Deviant art.

 

The unicorn is my pet.

 

Fairy tales are often a mix of light and dark, reality and fantasy, magic and sorcery and dire tales of morality. I kind of tried to do a mix here bur really it was about having fun trying to creating a feeling of fairy tale. I hope it's not too amateurish but I almost turned my hair grey fiddling with it so I give it up to you now.

A few weeks ago I saw this splendid example of a male bovine created by Bellart! I own a lot of Bovine in SL honestly this boy is about the finest looking bull I have ever seen.

 

So a concept was conceived and the 1st Green Acres Rodeo was born!

 

My 1st preference was to of course to "Bull Ride", sadly my young Bovine friend is a little undersized to properly pull that off, so this is my Plan B, "Steer Wrestling"! I am super pleased even with the multiple crashes just as I was going in for my final frame!

 

I had a lot of help on this series, Igi Romuśka my Critter Poser Technical Expert. A special thanks to my Barrel Racing friend Tupper Moran for helping with the little details of Ro-Deo-Deoing that only she could do, plus she knows about Jerry Jeff! Thank you very much my friends!

 

For all the fans of the Rodeo, I will leave the build for a month or so for you all to enjoy!

 

There will be 2 more images in this series forth coming.

Yeah, I work all week just to make a draw,

Sometimes I don't ride 'em at all.

But I'm hooked in and I got to ride that train.

When I get down in that chute,

I can't keep from thinkin' about all that loot,

I'm a ro-do-o de-o de-o cowboy

Bordering on the insane.

 

That's why I drink a cheeseburger, eat a six-pack

Take a Darvon to kill the pain.

Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall,

I live through it to tell you 'bout it all.

I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy

Bordering on the insane.

 

Now, relax and take a deep breath or two

It's a one time shot and then you're through

Hang on, boy, and someday you'll have fame.

When they open up that gate

The bull takes off like a runaway freight

And you're a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy

Bordering on the insane.

 

That's why I eat a cheeseburger, drink a six-pack

Take a Darvon to kill the pain

Pay thirty-two fifty just to take a fall

I live through it just to talk about it all

I'm a ro-de-o de-o de-o de cowboy

Bordering on the insane.

 

The cobwebs sure are thick, what's goin' on?

I feel like all my circuits are blown.

I can't remember my number or name.

Gimme a beer or two and I'll feel fine,

'Least it's worked every other time

'cause I'm a rodeo de-o de-o de cowboy

Bordering on the insane.

An isolated barn on a deserted farm site stands with its lower door open giving an almost human expression of being aghast at all the changes around it. This past decade of my life has been a battle to accept generational changes without betraying a sense of being aghast. Technology advances and changes in methodology can be bewildering to older folks yet positive. Changes in morality and a breakdown in genteelness is more difficult to accept.

A Men, like trees are no stronger than their roots. Unlike trees though, Men can change their roots.

 

(Meaning your Spiritual / Philosophical / Moral base)

 

"Things are gonna change.

This is the morning after

When reality bites.

The morality kicks in

To those damaged limitations..."
