we truly do live in strange times. It is normal now, to say whatever comes to ones mind without any kind of filter. We say what we want regardless of how someone else might feel or how we in turn might feel if the same is to be said to us. There is a power in words, one that is constantly undervalued and somehow the words that seem to be able to hurt the most are the ones that we choose to listen to. The words that we choose to use…maybe to protect ourselves from being hurt any further? I don’t know…I’m rambling. Great words, something to think about, thank you..
ich hab den tollen Blog von einer guten muslimischen Freundin empfohlen bekommen. Ich selbst bin evangelischer Christ, aber eher ein Abrahamit ;-) ….bin also meinen unmittelbar benachbarten Religionen sehr zugeneigt. Ich las gerade das Gedicht und es erinnert mich an ein Buch, dass ich gerade ausgelesen hatte: von Félix Guattari/Gilles Deleuze -Rhizom- ein geeignetes Denkmodell zur Umsetzung des Gedichtinhaltes
