Ant #284. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.

I've just finished reading George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (or 1984) and I must say that this is the best book I've read in this year.

I heard about it before, but always found something else to read. I wasn't expecting anything good from it. Luckily I forced myself to start reading it... and I drowned it it!

It's a type of literature that doesn't bore you even for a moment. It's catchy from the very first till the very last page.

I'm not gonna describe the story, I just STRONGLY recommend you to read it!

Ant #283. Like A Virgin.

I just leave it here. It's amazing! <3

Ant #282. Addicted to Internet.

2 days.

2 days since my home internet collapsed. 

At first it felt unusual and uncomfortable. Then it felt really depressing coz I didn't only leave with no facebook chat and Skype, but also with no news, movies and possibility to work. But now it feels... challenging. Yeah, challenging! I met a friend, spent the whole day on a riverside talking to him, now I'm making a coffee and starting a new book that I wanted to start reading many weeks ago. 

P.S. I made this post on my phone, if u wanna know! But I don't really like surfing on it, so take it as an exception! ;-)

Ant #281. Weird charity.

Having some mixed feelings after watching the video below of a man walking across the streets and giving away money to random people. But before giving them a cash he asks them if they believe in god or not. They all said YES and got their money. The man also adds that he was sent to them by god.
So I got questions:
1) Why haven't we seen anybody who said NO? Or they all do believe?
2) And what would happen if someone said NO?
3) Is charity only for believers?
4) He got some cash and started to give it away. Why does he cover himself with "sent by god" if it was only up to him?
5) If he has this special connection to god, why isn't he Pope (or whatever)?

Even if I think that we must be very careful with charity (because it depraves people), I think it's a nice tool in a society. But in this case... Well, to me it's weird.

Probably the only think that I like in this video is that the man is giving away money to those people that work!

You can make your own opinion after watching this.

Ant #280. Citizens of the world.

I'm pretty sure about what I'm gonna say right now...

People who are passionate about traveling are different.

Don't even try to convince me in opposite.
And I'm not talking about rich people. I didn't say "who travel", I said "who are passionate". Mostly I mean people who are ready to travel with low-cost airlines or even to hitchhike, who save all their pennies just for not staying at home on their days-off.

These people are so different!
They discover many cultures, many traditions, many places. They absorb every little impression they get, but also they share their own uniqueness with others. You can also see them in a crowd, they look like extraterrestrials. So different! No matter where they are, they can always find friends because after being everywhere they knows that all human beings are made of the same flesh and the same blood. They can can talk to anyone about anything. They have a special light that is magnetizing good people. So different! They never judge. They accept and love all the people for who they are. They are tolerant, open-minded and ready to learn. They know how to enjoy the life. So different!

Once I've been told...
"It doesn't matter how old are your snickers if you're walking in them across Paris."
So damn true!

Ant #279. To talk or not to talk.

I'd like to ask you all...

We all definitely have that kind of people on our social networks newsfeed who always post horrible pictures of killed animals, of wars, of political issues etc.

I think it's totally ok that people speak their minds, but my question is: Does it really can change something? Let's just stop for a second and ask ourselves. If we flood all days about civil war in Syria, is it gonna stop? If we tweet about homofobia 24/7, is it gonna disappear? If we write about Putin's aggression on Ukraine, will he retire?

We all know that the answer is NO.

If you wanna change the world, stop talking and start doing something.

Find a Red Cross office and volunteer. Buy some food and toys and bring them to any orphanage. Organize a campaign of helping homeless animals.

Maybe it doesn't change the whole world, but it definitely changes the life around you.

Ant #278. Free.

Last night I got a really weird conversation with one dumb.

- Do u have someone?
- No, I'm single.
- Aw, u probably got used to be lonely.
- I'm not lonely.
- Yeah, yeah, u have friends, but not a partner.
- Well, I don't have a partner, but it doesn't mean I'm lonely, it means I'm free.

I was so pissed off.

Why do people in relationships treat single people as disabled, as 2nd class citizens, as unlucky ones deserving sympathy and compassion? What the hell?

Do they really think that a partner is all you need to be happy?
Well, I guess we imagine happiness in different ways.

I am single and I am happy!
I live a fulfilled life, I have lots of fun, I travel, I meet people, I have friends and family who love me and I love them as well, I'm healthy, I have a job, I'm a volunteer too coz I like to help other people. And you call me lonely just because I'm single?

Get a life. Seriously.
