And in the end, we were all just humans.. drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
There is a terrible emptiness in me, an indifference that hurts.
— Albert Camus, The First Man

Great Minds: Slavoj Žižek

Question from Max Frisch:
· Are you really interested in the preservation of the human race once you and all the people you know are no longer alive?
·  State briefly why.
·  How many of your children do not owe their existence to deliberate intention?
·  Whom would you rather never have met?
·  Are you conscious of being in the wrong in relation to some other person (who need not necessarily be aware of it)? If so, does this make you hate yourself – or the other person?
·  Would you like to have perfect memory?
·  Give the name of a politician whose death through illness, accident, etc. would fill you with hope. Or do you consider none of them indispensible?
·  Which person or persons, now dead, would you like to see again?
·  Which not?
·  Would you rather have belonged to a different nation (or civilization)? If so, which?
·  To what age do you wish to live?
·  If you had the power to put into effect things you consider right, would you do so against the wishes of the majority? (Yes or no)
·  Why not, if you think they are right?
·  Which do you find it easier to hate, a group or an individual? And do you prefer to hate individually or as part of a group?
·  When did you stop believing you could become wiser – or do you still believe it? Give your age.
·  Are you convinced by your own self-criticism?
·  What in your opinion do others dislike about you, and what do you dislike about yourself? If not the same thing, which do you find it easier to excuse?
·  Do you find the thought that you might never have been born (if it ever occurs to you) disturbing?
·  When you think of someone dead, would you like him to speak to you, or would you rather say something more to him?
·  Do you love anybody?
·  How do you know?
·  Let us assume that you have never killed another human being. How do you account for it?
·  What do you need in order to be happy?
·  What are you grateful for?
·  Which would you rather do: die or live on as a healthy animal? Which animal?

Reaktionen

Die unmittelbaren Reaktionen auf die Gettysburg Adress waren eher kritisch. Der Applaus des Publikums war verhalten und Lincoln selbst hatte den Eindruck, die Rede sei wegen ihrer Kürze missglückt. Als er nach der Ansprache wieder Platz nahm, sagte er zu seinem Freund und Leibwächter Ward Hill Lamon, der neben ihm saß: „Lamon, diese Rede wird nicht durchgehen.“ Den Ausdruck „nicht durchgehen“ verwendeten Präriefarmer für lehmverkrustete Pflüge, die den Boden nicht mehr aufbrechen. Auch ein Redakteur der übte scharfe Kritik, als er schrieb: „Es wird jedem Amerikaner die Schamesröte ins Gesicht getrieben, wenn er die törichten, banalen und wässrigen Äußerungen des Mannes liest, der klugen Ausländern als Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten präsentiert werden muss.“ Ganz im Gegensatz dazu äußerte sich Lincolns Vorredner Edward Everett, der die spätere positive Bewertung der Ansprache durch die Nachwelt vorwegnahm: „Verehrter Herr Präsident! Ich wünschte, ich könnte mir schmeicheln, den Kern der Sache in zwei Stunden so prägnant zum Ausdruck gebracht zu haben, wie es Ihnen in zwei Minuten gelungen ist.“ 150 Jahre später entschuldigte sich die "Harrisburg Patriot-News" dafür, dass sie seinerzeit Lincolns Rede als "dummes Geschwätz" abgetan hätte.

Gettysburg Address ~ Abraham Lincoln:
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."


The state of mind

What is it now?

Think in outcomes

What do i want - specifically - What the outcomes need to be! [Not activities]
This week, this day, this meeting
As specific as possible

Purpose
why are we doing this?
why do i want to see that Goal?
I really need to understand, feel, get to know the 'why'
Why needs to move me and all around me

How?
Their are many
Brainstorm all the hows
Take the best - do

I'M NOT ALONE!

Found this too - like it :-)


YOU
ALWAYS
HAVE
A CHOICE
Interesting question i found in the internet:

CAN YOU REMEMBER
WHO YOU WERE
BEFORE THE WORLD
TOLD YOU WHO
YOU SHOULD BE
?
or - my version
Can i imagine who i can be,
if i would just follow Jesus
every moment in my life?


Now it is peaceful again
Tomorrow is a new full-of-people-day
Some things i have to do
Most important is to take a long time to say:
"THANK YOU GOD"

Is there now a very inspiring question for me to ask?
What is exciting
NOW
?
