Metropolis 4 - “Spring dilemmas”

Warning – Don’t open that door. You’ve been there before and you know that once you get it started, there is no turning back. As I write I start humming bits of that great song “start me up!” from the Rolling Stones. Sometimes things I say remind me of a song, so that I start a sentence and end up singing the song. Absolutely disconnected, I know, but it’s a good sign, it only happens when I let go a little, and fortunately too. It’s spring time and as every year, I take the house down. I love the ritual. It makes me feel good and as light as a feather, probably because I get rid of a lot of stuff that gets piled up everywhere, not to talk about the dust. It’s amazing how dust loves books. They go together like bees on flowers, like the sun and the daylight. I think I may have interrupted their mating, but I’m not too worried about it because I know it will sneak back in no time. Naughty thing dust is!

To think of it, that would be a perfect example to explain the difference between passion and love. It’s spring time, everyone’s talking about it. There’s like a hormonal explosion all over the place. I say, kill it with a run, no need to walk around like headless chicks. The bee and the flower may well represent passion. I don’t know how it works exactly between those two, whether it's the bee or the flower to attract the other or if it's just a mutual fatal attraction, but one thing is sure, they attract each other, cannot hold it for a second longer, consume their passion and say goodbye. What happens between the sun and the daylight on the other hand is completely different. They embrace each other gently every day, whatever the weather conditions. A very important detail. Together, they are a whole. I mean, if the sun was ever to be without the daylight and the daylight without the sun, they wouldn’t be as we know them to be, but a completely different thing. That’s love. It magnifies our essence and beauty. “Cause I see you true colors…” Here we go again, Cindy Lauper. Maybe? There is no daylight without sun and no sun without daylight. Isn’t that beautiful? what am I talking about? It’s spring time.

Sitting amidst my stuff, looking at it hoping it will jump back into place. I've seen it done in some movies. Move things around with the power of thought I would love that. I promise I won't abuse of thy power, please come to me! Taking down the house is fun. The problem is putting everything back together again. That’s when I wish I had a magic wand. Why do I keep doing the same mistakes all over? To begin with, I removed everything from the walls so that they could be given a fresh hand of paint. Problem is the nails were painted over too so that now l have to search for nails on my wall. I am so confused I can’t remember where each picture was hanging. That is a complication as I have to give it more time than I had estimated. Every imaginable corner, even the cat’s, drawer, closet, shelf, has been overturned. Now that I think of it, I haven’t seen the cat for some time. Cats hate confusion and they especially do not like it when their habitat is being dismantled, even if only temporarily. They’ll start with inquisitive looks, as if to ask “hey, where is my corner gone?”, when they know perfectly well where it is, to the left of the room instead of the right, it’s been there all morning. "And my toys, what have you done with them.?" - "Not sure. Try checking that basket over there. I'm positive I did keep those". - Then comes the sulky look, usually followed by a turn around and walk away act and, lastly, they hide. You can call them for hours, but nothing.

Online stalking Ariane Friedrich, top German athlete and police officer publicly denounced a man who’s been stalking her on Facebook, by publishing his name and email address on her page. Her action has immediately sparked a debate on privacy issues. Apart from the fact that I don’t see any reason why stalkers’ identity should come under any privacy act, surely, a person should be protected, in this sense, until found guilty and not one minute longer. Would it be correct to assume that stalking on Facebook means that the guilty part has left behind indelible traces and evidence of perpetuated abuses? But the core of the matter here is that in fact no privacy has been breached at all. Taking into account that the athlete is also a police officer, I suppose that all other means of identifying this man have been tried with no success, otherwise he’d probably be in custody, at least for questioning, and this is precisely what I fail to understand. Tracing a computer shouldn't be a big deal to police forces, unless of cause the stalker is a digital wizkid. In any case,if no one knows who the man really is, there cannot be any breach of privacy, but simply a woman who is publicly denouncing the fact that she’s being stalked. Quite frankly this case doesn't make any sense at all. Don't get me wrong, as a woman I am a 100% supportive. Way to go! - Read more -

A cultural divide What could possibly drive a dentist or general practitioner to perform illegal surgical operations? not any minor surgical intervention to earn some extra cash, that could, to some extent, be understandable..Apart from a purely hygienic issue, it is, to my very modest opinion, decisively unacceptable and inhumane. What gives them the right to mutilate another human being. - Read more -

What is out of sight cannot hurt Though Elephants are a protected species (CITES, United Nations 1989), it wasn't enough to protect them over the years. Poachers have recently intensified an unscrupulous and unbearably savage illegal hunting campaign. Hundreds of elephants are being slaughtered with automatic weapons, for their ivory tusks. This massacre is the result of shared responsibility between weak governments, poor security measures, periodical lifts on the ivory trade ban in some African countries to allow them to sell their stocks, which has in a way contributed to keep fueling the illegal trade which in turn fuels the demand (mostly from Asia and China) and vice versa since the market value of ivory tusks has consequently and exponentially risen. - watch video --
