housing who




for most humans
their is a relationship between house and human

where most of us can not picture a severing of that relationship or the ideology

for some it is a simple matter of fact in their mind like
bees and beehives or bears and caves


and with some sections of science preaching humans were once in caves
and for some except batman
would not go back to a cave

so what happens when a human is severed from their house
they become homeless

and for some worthless but that is just a matter of opinion or is it



and we have seen this seen many times from movies to real life

and you ponder why are they homeless but you also say i never want to be homeless

and now their are many charities preying off of the homeless and some helping them
to gain money

which brought me to a special question
why do people not invite the homeless to stay with them

then it happened i was put in a position to shelter a homeless guy
and i did so

the maxim do unto others as you would have them do unto you
was prevalent in my thoughts

and as with anything there is a honeymoon period
and then the true face is shown after missed glimpses

and in a manner of speaking i became homeless

for the once safe haven
had been breached
and i had to seek for my solace elsewhere

and your routine from ending up overboard with the person you just pulled from overboard
was becoming in jeopardy


imagine the irony save someone from being homeless then join them
and then i found myself going over and beyond
the call of duty

and what you do not factor in
is that outside of their predicament
they are a person
and their persona
maybe the very reason why they are where the are
along with other factors

and then i found myself in another maxim give a man a fish and he eats for a day
teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime

but by my actions i was feeding not teaching

and i was to and fro whilst they were nonchalant ungrateful and grumbling

remembering what my uncle told me that he never buys food for the homeless
instead he would take them to the job centre
and that was the lesson i learnt

with me thinking i was helping i was not i was aiding

and what blinded me was the maxim of how you would like to be treated
and the fact that it was only a mirage of myself  inside this person

and that their is homeless and there is hopeless
and i could become homeless
but i forbid to become hopeless and bite the hand that feeds me

because
is homelessness a problem because humans are = to homes
or because the architecture of our cities is only geared for housing residence

whereas in nature you could wash in a river
their is no openly applicable or safe rivers


and in closing i was discussing with the homeless person about being strategic
and they replied who does this

and i was brought to reality
that that this was no victim he was a perpetrator of his situation

which runs with certain eu people coming here earning the language on the way
and not prepared or ready for their surroundings

but now i know why people do not take the homeless into their homes

The gas pedal personified



this came to mind after watching this anime series i have been watching sporadically for some time now

and the episode was about belonging

so nonoha ^^
is friends with a bunch of puzzle genii
yet cannot solve puzzles
not even the ones they deem easy

and this came to epitome in this episode
where she is feeling outside of a group she wants to be close to
that she decides to embark on a puzzle crash course at the deep end

and she finds it a struggle so she decides to stay in her room and do this one puzzle at least before the end of the trip

which is where the viewer slowly sees where she belongs within the group

because personally i felt her character was becoming lost and was getting a bit annoying

and that she surmised that puzzles is what joined the group together
when us the viewer saw it as something else

for as she left them to their devices in her attempt to solve the puzzle
the group had unconsciously disbanded

for she actively ^^ keeps the group together by force if need be
and i would categorize her as the gas pedal
one that can drive others
and provide a push
sometimes referred as the motherly role
and of this quote by sherlock holmes
Some people without possessing genius have a remarkable power of stimulating it.

and that was her role 
not to be jealous or to feel inferior
but to know she would be a muse 
and that may be the case for some of us
that is not what we can do but what we can not do that may make us 
important or relevant


and this is a recurring theme of a personified gas pedal
seen clearly in the case of



and though holmes is more at home with those like himself such as moriaty and irene adler
but watson keeps him grounded and spurs him on and cures his ills

Finding forrester another in the genius mini series



I recently watched this film

and some of you may know it being the most famous off of the list

some points really jumped out
such as with the main character
and how he was another fish to big for the pond he was in
but also the fact that he a master of disguise
concealing what was inside him
from virtually everyone
only relinquishing restraint in the exam he took
and how many of us hide our light to fit in
and just skate through life and our surroundings
but also on the flip side why did he feel the need to hide

but with hiding one judges a book by its cover
for his school were amazed since his work was borderline
and his test scores were so remarkable
but sometimes our book is judged without our involvement
and that is when he spoke out to defend his honour
and show what was underneath the cover
such as with the scene with the guy and his bmw
showing that those who judge rashly are not wise
another thing that stood out was once again there was a single parent theme going on
and that with the good of films like these their is always something that taints it
but then he transfers schools
but you can feel the sense he feels out of place
and is without peers
and that is a fear for some people that the higher they go or in search of their goals
the more isolated they could become for lack of peers


but the other story is of one of friendship
and mentorship
where they bring out of each other what they could not do themselves
one a place to be themselves
a company of equals and a place to rest his mask
and share his burdens
and the other to realign them with old loves
such as baseball and writing
and the importance of sometimes searching of how to help those who help you

but it is not without adversity there will be those who doubt you and will be jealous
but rather than a deterrent let them be your drive
and when you are in these places without peers you may have to constantly reaffirm yourself
and show what is under your cover

but that sometimes comes with a price
but as nietzsche once wrote no price is too high for the privilege of owning yourself

but you can also end up right back where you started
and this is the fear some of us have so we do not speak out
but then how much do you value yourself
this is very much the focus of the scene where during their big game

the coach lets him know that even though he is under investigation
the charges can be dropped and he sympathies and that it could of come about because his schedule was to grueling
and that he can drop the academic side of his scholarship
and just focus on the sport side of the scholarship
and keep doing what he has been doing and win games
this was a very powerful part of the movie
and he is presented with the choice
do what is best for himself or for others
reaffirm himself or stereotypes
and he chose the price which is never to high and was himself
and that he was not going to be in a box
of the so called jock
the mindless sportsman because of ease



and there is a time where all your work pays off






and there was no grander moment than this where
it seems that he may of chose the wrong decision
to stand up for himself
he is vindicated when his mentor and friend
comes to his aide
and you can see in his face a plethora
of emotions
vindication righteous indignation
and joy
but also so suave
letting the actions speak as loud as they were
to silence the doubters
it was such a powerful scene
and how in all he was a dignified person
who would rather suffer than betray a friend
and was not about vengeance
but justice
for some of us would not been able to hold in the righteous anger and would of smirked or hailed
abuse his way



with the last few scenes showing how now he was becoming his own master
and he had taught the teacher something
and the possibilities were endless

ending with the last scene
him being in his will
and where the place which prior held fear and myth
was his intertwined with fond memories
and gentle blessings

scaling the side walls of scarcity



scaling the walls of scarcity

technology is heralded as the victors against scarcity
in the western world
fired with privilege
with such advancements
and a multicultural society
with religious freedom
one might think
that morality and scarcity
are unlit fossilized ashes
and that is a matter for far away shores
but scarcity is not joined at the hip with natural resources
but with anything
of a finite nature
created or otherwise
such as time
the beginning of a work day is an arrangement aloof
in the arbitrary
from the consequences to the lack of adherence
then the point of technology alleviating or alienating
scarcity
it is possible but is it probable is the question
as with tube space allocation and the number of carriages
that descend those of proposed morality on the opposing sides
of fairness and equality
huddling help and turning the other cheek out of mind
as morality now is a liability
a luxury not afforded
where one pokes under the proposed
canopy of civility
where civilians rather
risk carriage collisions
inner cranium contusions
than forgo their afforded privileges
or to slip in front of another deviously
yet huff and puff when someone reciprocates
their deed
do unto others as you have them do unto you
the same preachers of collectivism
wearing emblems of national flags upon clothing
ironically endorsing and promoting a structure
then clamber over with ease over one of its inhabitants
to further individualistic gains
for this space
a space compact
in between a multitude
you hustle and bustled with
or passed
to the point of not letting passengers off the train
of such a regular occurrence
tfl actually have employees to advise travelers to let others
disembark from the carriage
before any attempt to embark
creating this perpetuated karma
uninhibited by audible advice
the sword of scarcity cutting off the ties to morality
ushering its subjects to the callous
but as i find myself being ushered closer and closer
to the yellow safety line
become territorial for my spot
and angling my body
i remark at how scarcity has no power
and it is our weakness that fuels it
it is not a tower
some impregnable fortress of infallible fortitude
but a ditch of our own digging devices
and i begin to see others greedily pass me to be pressed up
against the glass

for the next carriage to have more than enough room
and that scarcity has the power we give it
for time is our construction not our task master
and that we should be the change we want to see

so thanks again for reading i have been very active so the post have been thick and fast
so keep your eye for the next one within the next

Dissidents dissing who



The descendants of dissidents and revolutionaries

What becomes of bearing a moniker of one reviled and branded
on t shirts and forums

 
 how does one live in that shadow
what is it like
reading articles or viewing movies tinted with an outsiders depiction
of your relative or descendant
where as you may see them as human
as your dad or your mother
yet to other an icon an idol
or the personification of justice and resistance
perhaps even human transcendence
how about if they were martyred for you

for you and your right to be an equal

for you to never hear the words that they heard
see the sights they saw
for you to have to draw the tears that they did draw
feel the flames that flickered
and behold the expressions
that could reduce one to hate
as to fight fire with fire
but as lupe rapped needing something drier

we may think of the joyous times

as statues and being the centerpiece of an event
such as national holiday
but what of the more sinister side
such as guy fawkes day

a holiday where hanging and burning effigies of your descendant is wide spread and annually

but in the midst of the actions and exploits we forget they are people
some with children wives and colleagues

which is why i am looking forward to the untold and overlooked story
of the wives of malcolm x and martin luther king
and what they must of went through losing a husband and a father yet being famous
and probably a target whilst having to raise children

the show is called

Betty and Coretta



perhaps we can go away thinking of the impact we have an other have on us

Thanks to all the readers
I will be posting the second part to belonging very soon
within the next four days
