God and Democracy / In democracy, anything is possible—including
God / Between heresy and democratic principles: From the standpoint of dogma and traditional faith, this idea is pure heresy. It equates the Divine with the political order and suggests that God became possible solely because the social system "permitted" this. In dogma, God is the standard and the source of everything, not an object of democratic election or voting. However, from the perspective of political philosophy, this statement under the heading is radically democratic. Democracy, in its theoretical ideal, strives to eliminate any pre-existing hierarchy. Within it, there are no immutable values nor eternal truths; everything is subject to re-examination—even the very concept of divinity. If in democracy everything is possible, then faith in God becomes a matter of personal freedom rather than state coercion.
The Wring of Ideas: The Paradox of Unconditional Faith – The genuine danger revealed by this notion lies within the phenomenon of the wring of ideas. Humanity is a being that struggles to bear the void of absolute freedom. From this existential fear arises the need for unconditional faith in "Whatever" —whether it be God, the Nation, Democracy, the World Leader, or Science. When an idea ceases to be the object of critical scrutiny and becomes the subject of unconditional faith, it transforms into a chain. Clinical psychology recognizes this as a defense mechanism: by submitting one's own will to the Absolute (any Idea), the individual liberates oneself from the burden of personal responsibility. The relationship becomes Hegelian—in this framework, the Idea becomes the Lord, and the human being becomes its voluntary Servant.
Why is it that in a democracy "anything is possible"? The paradox of modern democracy lies in the fact that, by permitting everything, it often ends up multiplying new forms of servitude. When traditional gods cease to be the sole rulers, the market and social order swiftly give rise to secular alternatives. The person who believes they are free because "anything is possible" is, in reality, constantly seeking a new framework within which to confine their loneliness.
Ultimately, unconditional belief in any idea is a voluntary admission into an inner prison. The greatest truth of democracy does not lie in the notion that "anything is possible—even God," but in the fact that it leaves the individual entirely alone before his own choice—whether he will walk out of the cave under the sunlight or instead forge his own chains and choose his new, comfortable utopia to serve without reservation.

Sublime Essay.
Modo dicitur infinitum dissimilium partium aquae demonstrationes immobilem intermedia absurdas rationes animadverti mutationes,
попередні аргументи вниз напрямки труднощі регіони необхідні пересування довільні місця розумні позиції особливих величин чіткі лінії,
le divisioni percepiscono modi diversi di ostacolare le distinzioni che possiedono conseguenze che ruotano i sistemi all'interno delle parti simultanee del confine,
la légèreté infinie suppose que les masses tiennent grandes les grands poids proportionnels du raisonnement proportions inverses temps égal temps continuellement décroissant,
vernietigbare referenties toegepaste woorden predikeren moeilijkheden evenredige afmetingen maximale toepassingen mogelijke kwantiteit overwegingen,
発言位置の確認は世界の高度な制限障害アカウントセンターは自然な場所で異議を唱えます無関心な四肢は作家の重い事実を想定重い事実.

I'm still making my images using an old and simple 2009 version of photo manager software produced by ACDSee. And during the last two decades I've used it to produce 37,538 original image variations, only 4589 of which appear on Flickr - the rest sit on my hard-drive and now serve as an almost endless source of raw material for new abstracts. Not sure what to do about using AI to produce artwork. This old guy may just continue to use his 2009 copy of ACDSee. Cheers. H
J'ai essayé de trouver des images plus récentes que celles du 13 décembre parmi celles de mes collègues visiteurs réguliers du parc et je n'en trouve pas. Après cette vague de froid suivi de pluie verglaçante je doute que ce petit oiseau ait survécu. Cependant, quelques jours avant Noël...qui sait. Peut-être a-t-elle trouvé la force de s'envoler vers une destination soleil.
Ce sera donc probablement ma 3iè et dernière publication de ce mignon petit moineau rare.

I think I found my next photo essay. Interesting cars with my hasselblad. A very easy target though. This will be a work in progress.

it has been over 30 years since I had to write an academic essay, to say it's not going well might be an understatement.
You can check. I did everything right,
I only made a mistake when I put feeling.
I just did silly things and
I got sick when I heard this crazy child's heart that insists on not hardening and refuses to get old.
Sitting in the Engineer's seat on a GG1 headed to New York, we pass ESSAY Tower in South Amboy. Actually I'm riding backwards in the trailing cab of G 4873 as we head for the engine terminal at South Amboy. May 1982.
At the start of this year when Graham’s 318 Coffee House in Geneva reopened after major renovations I popped in to tell the owner Bob how much I admired the new look. I mentioned that I especially enjoyed the meandering path that leads to the front door. I wondered aloud if it was deliberately made with such tight curves in order to slow folks down, as in some Japanese garden designs where paths can sometimes take an unexpected or abrupt turn in an effort to slow down the walker and make them more conscious of their surroundings. Bob replied that while that’s a beautiful principle that he was unfamiliar with, the real reason for the tight meander here is more functional: should the path from the sidewalk to the front door be a straight line, it would be too steep a grade for wheelchairs to make. I found this an interesting example of how our manufactured surroundings are a vibrant mix of both the aesthetic and the practical.

For $200 I enrolled in a photography class called Photo Essays hoping to get inspired to photograph something other than my cats and with some sort of purpose or objective in mind. It seems that "photo essay", according to my teacher, is just a bunch of pictures with the same theme. After looking at some of my pictures he told me that my passion was clearly my cats. My assignment? The project I'm supposed to work on for eight weeks? Take pictures of my cats.
Below in the comments is an example of why I don't have more pictures of Ella in my photostream. She gets all coy whenever I pull out my camera.

So, I’m alive! I’m drowning in homework, but I’m alive! :D
Tonight, as far as homework goes, I have an essay to write, a journal to decorate, a verb book to print out, vocabulary to do, 2 powerpoints to watch and take notes on, a chapter to read, and some more vocabulary.
I took this picture last night, edited it, and finished around 12AM, I was going to upload it today, but then I looked at it again and I realized that I really really didn’t like it, so I came home today, and I re-edited it. I know a lot of things here are unrealistic and look really dumb, but there was no way around it, sorry. I am actually proud of this, no matter how many stupid mistakes there are in there, I really like it.

I guess there isn’t a background meaning to the picture itself, but there is one to the title.
We can make any day a good one, it’s all up to us. Well, what about the things we can’t control? We don’t have any influence on those! Yeah, we do, in a sense. Something bad happens, you fall down the stairs at school and everyone laughs, you can; a) look embarrassed and pick up your stuff and run or b) laugh it off with everyone else and casually walk to class. If you choose A, you’ll probably go home feeling terrible, and saying that you had a horrible day, but if you choose B, your friends may tease you, jokingly, and then you go home laughing about it, having an overall alright/good day. It’s easy to take everything badly, considering how much easier it is to describe bad things than good, but simple things can turn a bad day into a good one. My best friend tells me this all the time: Smile, it could turn your day around! It’s true! Just smiling more makes you feel better, and makes other people smile, helping them. It’s a win-win! It’s hard to do, but brushing something off and looking at the bright side is really enjoyable, but if you have to have a bad day, do it with a friend. It sure helps being able to complain and joke around with someone, even if you’re joking about how terrible the day was.
I don’t think I made any sense writing that, but I don’t really mind. I’m just kind of ranting at this point.

I really hope you like the picture, and I really hope you can make light of some day-to-day situations and turn your day around. <3 I’ve missed you guys, and I hope you’re all doing great!
Lots of love!
