The Owl In Me

Often I have communicated and argued on the web with nazi wannebe's and people that are against cultural and racial mixing. It's difficult, -politics, because a lot of times it has to do with feelings. I have never had a problem with cultural mixing and the newcomers in this country, I cant understand people that think everything would be better for everyone, if they didn't come here.

My feelings about immigration: Politics has to do with people, but the relations between people isn't always about politics. It would be sad to lose this to the political rules...

...Not long ago I saw the movie of the life of Jeanne d'Arc. It was good, but I cant say that I like that woman. I dont like the Idealists with weapons. -"Why doesn't God end it all" she says about the violence, yet she fights with swords. Ah, when will people realize that god haven't made any wars, we have.

Sometimes we are big, sometimes we are small and very often we are something in between. A lot of times I have been wrong and failed to admit, a lot of times I have been bold and people have failed in trying to appreciate it. Even criminals are humans, even criminals can be wise and even criminals can change the world, but not by being criminal.

To be an Idealist in a world were no one want them and no one need them is visibly not an easy thing. Everything that is truly smart have been expressed before, everything that is truly good have been wished before. There is nothing new in the things that are old, there is something old in the things that are new. The day we realize that the Idealist has to die, the New Age philosophy of Jesus has to fade and we have to give it up in order to change the world. Because what would he do, the martyr, the day when there is nothing more to rebel for? Would he be anything at all? If the world doesn't want to change, it is not going to change either...

We must give the selfish millionaire a chance to change, a chance to learn. If not, we will be like him. Ignorant criminals that think we can change things with violence and money. We would sit on the top of our hills and think good of ourselfs... but heroes doesn't change the world, they enliven others to change it. If things were really different in my life, I belive I could have been that millionare, that nazi that doesn't care or see what I see. That's why I sometimes would defend the ignorant, they dont know what they have never seen, felt or lived. You only know what you have been given and we are all a part of closing the doors to other peoples realities. We dont really want to know. We want everything to be good or bad. Right or wrong. Even you do. Even I.

Often I tend to see things in black and white. The newspapers only come in those shades you know. Rebelliousness is a romantic thing, I wish I could ride on it some more, be young at heart and stand for the good with weapons to fight... but the world is not very romantic and people are often smarter than they act. It doesn't take much to change peoples minds, it takes much more to make people aware...
