AMOUR

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

The loss of the person whom you love and cherish the most in your life is an agony beyond imagining. Yet, to allow them to endure interminable suffering, is the most brutal crue lty, and insantity.  If you truly love someone, the only sane and merciful act is to free them from their pain.  This pain may be imprisonment within an unwanted relationship, or from a crippled and decaying body.  

In Life, and in Death, Freedom is more important than Love.

Amour (pronounced: [a.muʁ]; French for “Love”) is a 2012 French-language drama film.  The narrative focuses on an elderly couple, Anne and Georges, who are retired music teachers with a daughter who lives abroad. Anne suffers a stroke which paralyses her on one side of her body. The film was screened at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d’Or. It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 85th Academy Awards, and was nominated in four other categories: Best Picture, Best Actress in a Leading Role (Emmanuelle Riva), Best Original Screenplay (Michael Haneke) and Best Director (Michael Haneke).  At the age of 85, Emmanuelle Riva is the oldest nominee for the Best Actress in a Leading Role.  At the 25th European Film Awards, it was nominated in six categories, winning in four, including Best Film and Best Director. At the 47th National Society of Film Critics Awards it won the awards for Best Film, Best Director and Best Actress. At the 66th British Academy Film Awards it was nominated in four categories, winning for Best Leading Actress and Best Film Not in the English Language. Emmanuelle Riva became the oldest person to win a BAFTA. At the 38th César Awards it was nominated in ten categories, winning in five, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.

SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER

We are each a part of something much bigger.  Being responsible for that “something” is an act of courage and responsibility.  If we refuse or ignore this reality of our existence on Earth, we are doomed to endure the pain of imprisonment in the flesh for the rest of Eternity.  We  Perceive and Experience what we Cause: nothing more, nothing less…. However, we can UNDO what we have caused.  But, we must first acknowledge that WE are the cause of it.  As Gautama Siddhartha, The Buddha, said, “No one can cleanse another.  Only you can cleanse your self.”

TEARS OF JOY!

10,000 VOICES and Orchestra performing “Ode To Joy” by Beethoven…..   Turn up the volume on your speakers to make the windows shatter!!!!   Tears of Joy!!!  Tears of Joy, My Beautiful Friends!!!!

The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 (sometimes known simply as “the Choral”), is the final complete symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827). Completed in 1824, the symphony is one of the best-known works of the repertoire of classical music. Among critics, it is almost universally considered to be among Beethoven’s greatest works, and is considered by some to be the greatest piece of music ever written.  The symphony was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony (thus making it achoral symphony). The words are sung during the final movement by four vocal soloists and a chorus. They were taken from the “Ode to Joy”, a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785 and revised in 1803, with additions made by the composer.

INTERPLANETARY HEARING AIDE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Alfredo Tarantino tests a prototype for his “interplanetary hearing aide” with which he is seen here attempting to detect sounds of life on the planet Venus from a beach near his village in Cavalaire-Sur-Mer in the south of France in 1918.  Alfredo reported that the life forms he discovered made a lot of “hissing” sounds with occassional “buzzing” and “burbling” noises. He interpreted these sounds to mean that the creatures of Venus were very similar to those on Earth.

Members of the Abundia Corona Region of the Venusian Chapter of The Order of Omega Time Travel Cult travelled from the year 8,714 AD to take this photograph in commemoration of the 3,500th Anniversary of “Earth Day”, which is the day that the Venusians took control of Earth and exterminated the pestilence formerly known as the “human race”.

“THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE” by Edward Gibbon

Last year I listened to the Audible.com (unabridged version) reading of the truly excellent book by the preeminent historian, Edward Gibbon.  I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who has any interest in the affairs of civilization, survival, life and death on planet Earth.

Gibbons account of the history of the The Roman Empire is a birds-eye-view-fly-over of a thousand years of Western Culture.  Roman culture is the very same culture being used today, especially in the U.S. and Europe.  Only the names and dates, and some of the language, have been changed to protect the guilty persons who brought Rome to its knees.  Those guilty persons are the same people who are bringing Western culture to an end: you and me.

The reasons the Roman Empire decayed are the same reasons that our current culture has decayed: Greed, Stupidity of the People, Superstition, Personal Irresponsibility, Corruption of The Military /Industrial / Congressional Complex by the Bankers who financed the entire calamity for personal financial gain.

The book is long, but so was the Roman Empire, at least in comparison to other civilizations that have risen and collapsed in only a few hundred years, such as the British Empire, The Soviet Empire, The German Empire and currently, the American Empire.  Read it and weep!  At least you may be able to make a little more sense out of the abysmal nonsense you see happening around you every day.

May The Gods Save Us From Ourselves!
