“African blood flows freely through our veins. Many of our ancestors came as slaves from Africa to this land. As slaves they struggled a great deal. They fought as members of the Liberating Army of Cuba. We’re brothers and sisters of the people of Africa and we’re ready to fight on their behalf!” Fidel Castro

Es ist mir bisher noch nie aufgefallen, aber Sartre beschreibt hier ganz offensichtlich einen Drogenrausch 😁😅

During the Tienanmen Square protests of 1989, one Chinese citizen stood in front of a line of oncoming tanks, in an attempt to prevent them from entering the Square. Although he was ultimately unsuccessful, his image was broadcast around the world in video and still footage, and he came to be known as “Tank Man,” or the Unknown Rebel, in a reference to his incredible act of bravery. Tank Man has become an iconic symbol of the Chinese democracy movement, and his image is familiar to many people around the world.

“Wilm Hosenfeld (1895-1952), German World War II Officer was born in Mackenzell, Germany, the son of a Catholic teacher. Hosenfeld entered the German Army at the start of World War I and returned home badly injured in 1917. At the beginning of World War II his batallion went to Poland. After witnessing how the Nazis were treating Jews, Hosenfeld, a deeply religious man, decided to help them. One of those he saved was pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, a deed later depicted in the Oscar-winning film "The Pianist”. In 1945 Hosenfeld was captured by the Russian Army and sentenced to 25 years in a labor camp. He died in captivity near Stalingrad.“ - source

Nietzsche

Nietzsche quotes in english are some kind of weird. Well they are weird in german as well, but they are some kind of more understandable.

This is how it works. Everything is connected. Every choice matters. Every person is vital, and valuable, and worthy of respect.

Depending on others

Human beings always try to connect or to interact with others. They define their essence, their nature, their entity through getting in contact with others. But in fact that is not who we are. We are not they way other people see us, even if our mind is trying to trick us concerning this point. Our brain is trying to build up an image we have about ourselves and this image only comes to life with the other's opinion. E.g. you say "I am a good singer". But in fact you are only able to give this statement because of the way others see you. You are only able to call yourself a good singer because others say so. So being a good singer only depends on the way other people see you and think of you. Of course you can try it the other way round, by avoiding on purpose an actual image others may have of you on. E.g. you are a good singer, but you are not willing to show your talent. Every time you are asked to sing, you do it in a terrible voice. Everybody calls you a shitty singer, but you know for yourself, that you are indeed a good singer. This image you get in your own head is only able to exist because of the image on the other side. Your opinion as an opposite of the other opinion can only exist because of the existence of the other one. It is sort of an anti-part of the other opinion. So no matter if you share your opinion with others concerning yourself or you disagree their opinion, the image you get about yourself always depends on how others see you. Seeing our selves is caught in total duality between agreement and disagreement of others opinions.
