An elderly Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, ‘A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.’ ‘One wolf is evil… he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego. The other is good… he is joy, peace, love hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. The same fight is going on inside you and every other person, too. They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, ‘Which wolf will win?’ The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘The one you feed.

Französisch Buchholz in the Berlin borough of Pankow, is a district that developed from an earlier settlement in the 13th century and became known as Buchholz. It got its current name because numerous Huguenot families, religious refugees from France, settled here at the end of the 17th century.
By about 1750, the name Französisch Buchholz had become established and the village had become a popular destination for Berliner day trippers.
Because of anti-French resentment in the run-up to the First World War, the district changed its name to Berlin-Buchholz in 1913 and was incorporated into Greater Berlin in 1920.
At the end of the Second World War, Buchholz became part of the Soviet sector of Berlin. After reunification and with some local pressure, the district became Französisch Buchholz again on 30th May 1999, thus after 86 years, regaining its former name.

The growing interconnectedness of everyone and everything is transforming our world into an unprecedented techno-social environment. The boundaries between atmosphere and politics are being suspended; already, tiny ruptures can cause cascade-like repercussions – think of cyber-attacks or stock market crashes, right-wing resentment or hashtag-based protest. Such ambient revolts are increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (AI) – involving human interaction but seemingly beyond human oversight. Set against this backdrop, the conference poses the questions: What are the techno-social logics of both regressive and repressive tendencies? What are emancipatory movements up against? What potential do micro-political acts have in day-to-day life? What regulations of automated systems at the macro level will enable democracy to emerge in the age of AI? The Berliner Gazette conference will explore these questions in the context of performances, lectures and workshops.

You can fake it for a while,
Bite your tongue and smile,
Like every mother does an ugly child.
But the stars are leaking out,
Like spittle from a cloud,
Amassed resentment counting ounce and pound.
You're entertaining any doubt,
Because you had to know that I was fond of you,
Fond of Y-O-U,
Though I knew you masked your disdain.
I can see that change was just too hard for us,
Hard for us.
You always had to hold the reigns,
But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way.
So affections fade away,
And do adults just learn to play
The most ridiculous, repulsive games?
On the faith of ruddy sons,
And the double-barreled guns,
You better hurry,
Rabbit, run, run, run.
'Cause meeting you was fun,
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell.
We're taking it over,
Their brittle, thorny stems,
They break before they bend,
And neither one of us is one of them.
And the tails will never mend,
'Cause you had it in for me so long ago.
Boy, I still don't know,
I don't know why and I don't care,
Well, hardly anymore,
If you'd only seen yourself hating me.
Hating me,
When I've been so much more than fair.
But then you had to lay those feelings bare,
One thing I know still got you scared,
You're all that cold iron,
And never once aired of our dead.
You had to know that I was fond of you,
Fond of Y-O-U.
So I took your licks at the time,
And to change like that is just so hard to do,
Hard to do.
Don't let it whip-crack your life,
And bow out from the fight,
'Cause oh, how your sisters will write.
The worst part is over,
Now, get back on that horse and ride.
Rotherham Town Brass Band Playing at the Jo Cox 'The Great Get Together' Brodsworth Hall, Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
For those outside the UK, Jo Cox was a Labour Party MP that (like myself) passionately hated any form of racism, or prejudice of any sort. She was murdered on 16th June 2016 by an extreme right winger that was (as they all are) full of hate, prejudice and resentment - and completely lacking humanity, common sense and any form of intelligence.
Jo was killed during our Brexit discussions. There was an evil side to some discussions that some right wingers seemed to take as validation for violence against immigrants (and in their simple minds anti-Brexiteers). Fascist publications like the Daily Mail (or the 'Fanzine of the English Defence League' as I call it) also loved to stir up these feelings.
A year on, 'The Great Get Together' was a series of around 120,000 street parties etc. all over the UK (and some beyond) to show that in the words of Penny from The Big Bang Theory, 'Love trumps Hate'.
I don't know what the answer is to this sort of hatred - nobody does. Maybe some sort of education in schools about the horrors of the World Wars etc., as a result of this form of right wing hatred.
In Jo's own words from her first House of Commons speech as an MP, 'We have far more in common than that which divides us'. A very true statement that sadly caused her untimely death at the hands of a complete nutcase.

After a long day of shopping and a crappy movie, i came home and decided to move my ass over to the open field in attempt to shoot "something". Conclusion = It's pretty sucky running in damp/muddy grass back and forth like an idiot, lucky for me it was pretty secluded. I think...
I wish i had someone to use, be it subject/val/whatever. Maybe I ain't pushing myself harder eh?

Bill Clinton spoke at Toledo's Waite Senior High School on September 27th, 2016. President Clinton promoted Hillary Clinton as someone who as president would govern through empowerment, not resentment. He provided a different perspective on the trade deals that have fueled much of Republican Donald Trump’s appeal in Ohio. The 42nd president spoke to an estimated 800 supporters inside the gymnasium of Waite High School, with many local Democratic elected officials present. As it was National Voter Registration Day, he urged people to register to vote and to remind family and friends of the Oct. 11 deadline.
“We‘ve got a chance to do something together where nobody is left out and left behind. We need to go seize it, and it all starts in Ohio by registering and voting,” Mr. Clinton said.

Can you hear the sound
Of falling tears?
Can you see the despair
as darkness nears
Lost time,
Fading pain.
Standing still
in the pounding rain.
Why?
Is there any other way?
What will it take?
What do I need to say?
Salted runways of disappointment
Knowing it will be the same.
Dark hearted welling resentment
Knowing only shame.
Alone, Surrounded.
Empty, Disregarded.
Sorrow hears
Falling tears.
The Turkish Gate or Bab Kisan recalls St Paul in the Bible. According to his accounts in the New Testament, Paul, a Damascene by birth, returned to preach the gospel of Christ but stirred up anger and resentment in the city. He escaped an angry mob by having himself lowered in a basket from what was then known as the Gate of Saturn. Acts 9, 20-25. Distinctive for the Byzantine seals on each of its twin towers, the gate derives its present name from an Ottoman Turkish hero.

So I asked for a thin crust pizza with no meat light cheese and sauce.... only for them to tell me that its to much of an incovinance...

Brendon Burchard - "When you were born a golden ticket was slipped into your soul's pocket by your Creator. The ticket gave you privileged access to a world of choices - it granted you permission to be whoever you wanted to be and do whatever you wanted to do. You may not have known you were carrying this ticket all of your life, but you were. Life's golden ticket is now in your hands. And now is your moment of truth. You can either stand still and live in yesterday or you can step through the gates of possibility into the life you were truly meant to live. The only price of admission is to release any anger, hurt, worry, or resentment tied to your old story and to have the clarity and strength to start anew. You can make new choices. You can live more fully. You can love more completely. You can make a greater difference. Every moment is a second chance to unleash and claim the purpose and contribution that is your destiny. But beware. The only promise in life is that soon the gates will close, as there are only so many moments left to live, love, and matter. Stand still or step forward? The choice, as it always has been, is yours."
I follow Cryptid a bit, until he led me to a small campfire with two other soldiers sitting around it. he led me over to the one on the north side of the fire, and introduced me. "This is Mackenzie, but we call him 'Klip.' I shook his hand, and told him my name. I told him a bit about myself, being overwatch and all. Then, out of the blue, the other soldier piped up, rather resentfully, "What are you, some damned super-soldier? The perfect sniper, eh?"
A haunted look must have come to my eyes at th mention of the word 'perfect'; I could see it reflected in the gaze of the kid, Klip. "No, I'm not perfect, or even close," I responded. Klip softly asked me to continue. So, I did.
"I wasn't that much of an excellent shot, up through a few years ago. I was still fresh meat then, near the beginnings of the war. I was responsible for covering my unit in a rather ugly section of a city. Twenty-three men had their lives depending on me to keep them covered, and to give them warning of any attacks. I stopped looking for a brief moment, and by the time I looked back, the screams had begun. The Urags had been laying in wait, for a hapless unit of Earthlings to slaughter. Twenty three men, who died because of my carelessness. I should have seen the signs, should have warned them. Ever since then, I have dedicated myself to being the best sniper I could be. Many of my exploits are exaggerated, but I can run and gun along with the rest of them."
The group had gone quiet for my tale. There were several moments of tense silence, until the offending soldier whispered, "I'm sorry. I had no idea."
I took it in silence. It hurt, hurt badly that these soldiers can look upon their own allies with resentment, could judge without knowledge. Still, this Cryptid didn't seem half bad. I said my goodbyes, and returned to my former post. Who knows, maybe I'll meet him again in the future.

This thing is supposed to represent the way the Dokumentationszentrum museum pierces to the heart of National Socialism.
I didn't take any pictures of the exhibition. It was very well done, in terms of illustrating the rise of Nazism. It was less about the horrors of the war itself, although it spent a fair amount of time going into the laws and policies that were intended to isolate and eventually wipe out Jews (and gypsies, gays, Jehovah's Witnesses, and other groups). Really, the museum focuses on Germany and the institutions that went so wrong. Also, the big final room shows extensive film from the Nuremberg trial, which was pretty fantastic.
I got here just as a busload of girls (maybe 12-14 years old) arrived. They turned out to be from Britain, and a lot of them were non-white. A couple were Jewish (from their conversation about their grandparents' stories). I thought it was nice that their school made this a part of their trip to Germany.
I got overwhelmed a few times during the exhibition, when the camps came up. There was a pretty detailed map of the camps, detailing which ones started out as labor, which ones were intended as death-camps from the outset, and more. A couple of videos had interviews with German citizens where they tried to explain how they couldn't possibly have suspected what was happening to the Jews, even as their incidental comments implicated them further in the national resentment against Jews.
Trisha appeared on a TV program, admitting that even though she knew she was HIV positive, she continued to work as a prostitute. There was resentment and open hostility towards her and her son. She felt that many people were hypocritical.

No, it wasn't a pretty place at all, but it had a deep melancholy, a shade of resentment. A building that got a raw deal, that might have been celebrated as part of our heritage instead of whispered about and vilified as a place of scandal and pain. With a different history we would see a different outcome. Now all we see is a smoking ruin. Too bad.

Egypt exploded with joy, tears, and relief after pro-democracy protesters brought down President Hosni Mubarak with a momentous march on his palaces and state TV. Mubarak, who until the end seemed unable to grasp the depth of resentment over his three decades of authoritarian rule, finally resigned Friday and handed power to the military.

A new way to divorce. Coscious uncoupling with collaborative practice. Armando Cecatiello. A minduful divorce. Editore Red! Milano 2018. For info: www.cecatiello.it
The end of a relationship is always a difficult moment that inevitably brings suffering to the former partners, children and all the people close to the couple in crisis. If we add resentment, desire for revenge and anger, the mix can become explosive and make life impossible for everyone. If we view crisis and divorce as a possibility to begin a new life, we can solve the problems in a different and constructive manner, and often even make life better.
This book is meant for married or unmarried couples involved in a family crisis and who seek a successful method to find shared and lasting solutions to their problems, considering the interests of all parties involved. It is also geared for professionals wanting a full picture of the Collaborative Process: lawyers, psychologists, social workers and all those who deal with conflict in general and family crisis in particular. They will find in Collaborative Process an innovative, non-judicial method to solve a conflict.
There is no battle to win: true victory is finding shared solutions together that benefit all, children included.
Armando Cecatiello, Divorce Lawyer, Mediator and Writer, has handled divorce cases both in the courtroom and outside of the judicial system for over 20 years. Specialized in Collaborative Process as well as a trainer in this innovative method, he has vast experience in all matters of family law where he employs a conscious and sustainable approach.

The War on Islam is not being conducted by the West and/or non-Islamic societies. The real War on Islam is being waged by people who call themselves “Muslim.” While they call themselves “Muslim,” they are not Muslim. It is reflected through terrorism, violence, intolerance, hate, extremism, and gender inequality in the name of Allah and the Prophet Mohammed. Some of these battles include internecine violence and persecution: Sunnis vs. Shi’ites and Sufi Muslims and Shi’ites vs. Sunnis and Sufi Muslims and the power strand of intolerance and refusal to recognize the rich Sufi Islamic faithful as “Muslims.” People are tortured and killed, Mosques and Islamic cultural artifacts are systematically destroyed, including the tomb of Mohammed Bin Ali, a descendant of the Prophet’s cousin Imam Ali by ISIS. In fact, the world is “witnessing the greatest destruction of Islamic sites in modern times (news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/07/150702-ISIS-Palmyra-d...) and a relentless barrage of unspeakable acts of evil that are ultimately destroying Islam and the good reputation of the Prophet Mohammed and initiating a backlash of resentment, discrimination and persecution against the innocent true Islamic faithful as well as Islamophobia.
It is all about winning....just ask Charlie Sheen. I am sure Charlie has gone here with his former "goddesess".
Here are a few more Charlie Sheen quotes that are immortal:
“If you borrowed my brain for five seconds, you’d be like, ‘Dude! Can’t handle it, unplug this bastard!’ It fires in a way that’s maybe not from, uh… this terrestrial realm.”
“The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of them look like droopy-eyed, armless children.”
“Dying is for fools, amateurs.”
“Resentments are the rocket fuel that lives in the tip of my saber.”
“People can’t figure me out, they can’t process me, I don’t expect them to. You can’t process me with the normal brain.”
Coptic Christians in Cairo Egypt living in El Zabaleen, or garbage city. For generations families would work together to collect all the rubbish from the streets of Cairo and take it back to their homes. They then sift and sort through all the items which are then sold on to merchants. 85% of all solid waste is thus recycled from the city.
Families used to own pigs that used to eat the organic waste but everyone of them was slaughtered during 2009 during the outbreak of the H1N1 'swine' flu, even though there were no cases reported in Egypt. It was the only country that carried out a mass cull, and was also reported that it was done in an inhumane manner. This increased tension and resentment with the Government.
I was guided through a Museum, I have never seen before- but I was blindfolded. Beeing out of sight from the Museum, I took the blindfold off. Back in my studio, I did a series of drawings how I imagine it to look like.
It interfered with the experience of beeing blindfolded in general, that is why there is plenty of black ink on my drawings. In general, I create concepts, that have mistakes and misunderstandings built in. Those gaps are not simply filled with my imagination- they have a magical truth for me. Instead of having resentments about life beeing a series of misunderstandings, I just enjoy them.

It will happen in God's time. I'll be okay...God willing. It's in God's hands now. These expressions and similar ones suggest that WE ARE WAITING on The Almighty to act on our behalf. But is the situation that we are waiting for to change really God's responsibility? Do we hold resentment against someone for something that they said or did? Do we believe it is up to the other person to change, or for God to intervene? Or is the answer really for US to make a change? To learn how to love unconditionally, to show more kindness, regardless of what was said or done? If we try the latter, we will see that the situation was in our hands the entire time. We have been gifted with the ability to create an amazing life experience, despite our imperfections. Just about any situation can be changed by our actions. Are we lonely? Perhaps we can reach out to others instead of waiting for others to reach out to us. Do we feel that we lack material goods? If we are reading this on an internet connected device that means we are a part of the richest class of people in human history. Perhaps we can take a few minutes to feel APPRECIATION for what we DO HAVE. Although there are some things that are out of our control, much of our life is completely within our control. We hold the paintbrush to paint our lives in any way we see fit. If we choose to create with the colors of love, joy, and compassion, we will certainly begin to see a new picture, one to be really excited about. We will come to see that the thought of us waiting on God was not correct. All along, it was God that was waiting patiently on US...to look within ourselves and discover the perfect gifts of creation left for us. He anticipates seeing what masterpiece will be created next. #paint Luke 13:34 - vis_k
By selflessness you fulfill yourself.
By generously giving you gather riches.
Resentment costs you much and gives you nothing.
Forgiveness costs you nothing and sets you free.
Fighting against something gives it added strength and influence.
Whatever you accept, you're able to control.
When there's no one telling you what to do is when you truly learn.
When your thoughts are still, you gain great insight.
By being flexible you can remain firm.
By knowing your limitations you're able to transcend them.
Though some of life is bad, all of life is good.
Be at peace in this moment, and you will always be.
~ Ralph Marston
TGIF! ENJOY YOUR FRIDAY, EVERYONE!!
BG Annual Conference 2018 | November 8–10 | ZK/U – Center for Arts and Urbanistics

The growing interconnectedness of everyone and everything is transforming our world into an unprecedented techno-social environment. The boundaries between atmosphere and politics are being suspended; already, tiny ruptures can cause cascade-like repercussions – think of cyber-attacks or stock market crashes, right-wing resentment or hashtag-based protest. Such ambient revolts are increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (AI) – involving human interaction but seemingly beyond human oversight. Set against this backdrop, the conference poses the questions: What are the techno-social logics of both regressive and repressive tendencies? What are emancipatory movements up against? What potential do micro-political acts have in day-to-day life? What regulations of automated systems at the macro level will enable democracy to emerge in the age of AI? The Berliner Gazette conference will explore these questions in the context of performances, lectures and workshops.
