Loreena Mc Kennitt - Samain Night (1989)

When the moon on a cloud cast night Shone above the tree tops' height You sang me of some distant past That made my heart beat strong and fast Now I know I'm home at last

You offered me an eagle's wing That to the sun, I might soar and sing And if I heard the owl's cry Into the forest I would fly And in its darkness find you by

So our love's not a simple thing Nor our truths unwavering Like the moon's pull on the tide Our fingers touch, our hearts collide I'll be a moonsbreath from your side I'll be a moonsbreath from your side I'll be a moonsbreath from your side

The real horrors tonight aren’t witches or ghosts. It’s ignorance and hate, and they’re everywhere. Like on Samhain, the walls between a hate-tinted reality and our world are getting thinner and thinner. So, tonight, just tonight if that’s all you can do, don’t hate. Listen. Feel. Empathize. Stop what you’re doing for a second and listen to what other people have to say. Even if you don’t agree, understand. Present your points of view calmly, and understand if they’re not accepted. Never forget that we’re all human. We’re all fallible, and we all deserve respect. Respect is not something we owe only the ones we agree with. The darkness that will descend on us all if we don’t respect and tolerate all points of view will last longer than a winter. The real change isn’t in hate. It is, and has always been in respect. That’s where Spring is.

Embracing the Mosaic: How Language Bridges Cultures for Growth

One of the things I tend to do is open myself up to a variety of voices. I try to expose myself to the kind of culture shock that occurs when you talk to people who speak a different language. -Pierre Omidyar, Founder of eBay

Pierre Omidyar, the person who started eBay, once said something important about listening to different voices. He talked about how it's good to learn from people with different cultures and languages. 

He believed that by talking to people who speak different languages, we can learn new things and see the world in different ways. 

Omidyar's idea is that when we understand each other's languages, we can understand each other better, which is really important.

Empowering Tip: Actively seek out opportunities to engage with people from diverse backgrounds and by embracing different cultures and languages, we open ourselves up to new perspectives and experiences

I don't know if it is just me or how it happened, but I feel I can't find websites with hobby articles anymore? Right, this sounds weird. I mean that I can't find a site where people just have research articles about tokusatsu, for example. Or a webssite solely for sci-fi books...

The articles are out there, and I bet I can find loads of stuff here in tumblr. But I have a rough time finding single topic places anymore.

I blame search engines directing us the usual suspects all the time. As well as social media trying to standardize virtual spaces and monopolize our attention.

I’ve always had this constant desire to be understood, and it always made me feel so hopeless and alone when no one did, but today someone said to me,

“the greatest people in history went misunderstood their entire lives, until they weren’t, and that’s the very reason we remember them”

and that just settled my heart a bit

[maybe-i-never]

Taking a stand.

If you physically or emotionally torment someone for being a minority (not just race but any characteristic), remove yourself from my life. If you physically or emotionally torment someone for their sexual orientation, remove yourself from my life. If you physically or emotionally torment someone for their religion, remove yourself from my life. If you physically or emotionally torment someone for their appearance, remove yourself from my life. If you physically or emotionally torment someone for not having as good of a life as you claim to, or for the choices they make on how they live their own life, again, remove yourself from my life. I'm sick and tired of the negativity surrounding me, and today I'm doing something about it. Embrace difference. Embrace love.

the differences..

This took a really long time for me to figure out. but

I think I understand why people are programmed to fear "difference"

If someones not going to follow societies' rules on what is visually normal, what in the world should indicate that they are going to play by any of the others?

I would have them know, however, that my moral compass is strong by it's own accord--the sanctity of life rests heavy on my shoulders for all things (I don't even like killing flies).  

I'm not going to go on a murdering spree just because I have green hair and piercings. Or because I get my rocks off differently than you. Or because I talk to my cat and make silly voices. Promise.

Michael Magpie

Michael Magpie wasn't like other crows. Instead of the glossy, black plumage his friends & family had, part of his plumage was white in places. In fact, when he compared himself to the other crows, he felt ugly.

The brain and the heart are both capable of comprehending the world around us, just through different means and they "speak to us" in a different language than the other. Just like language, they are different yet the same. This is just like people. Embrace the difference, you can learn something but that is the least reason to do so.
