Barça

I was hoping for a win but I can settle for a draw, as a birthday present and all. At least it wasn't a loss. It was a good start and we'll see if it continues. I've got to put my nerves to the test.

But the love is there.



Més que un club!

It's been an inspiring day

Slöjor...

...av Elin Berge & Edda Manga. Det kändes lite som när jag såg Etnoporr-pjäsen, att här är en grupp som sällan får komma till tals. Det var intressant att läsa om slöjans historik och dess innebörd genom århundranderna. Särskilt intressant var delen om slöjans vara eller icke vara i Uzbekistan, både före, under och efter Sovjetstyret, om slöjan i Iran och kolonialmakternas förhållande till den.



"Kvinnan är ett objekt i alla samhällen. Om det inte var så tror jag inte ens att slöjan skulle existera. Men när det ser ut som det gör tror jag att det är lättare att få vara en individ med slöjan på."

"Jag har aldrig tänkt på att slöjan skulle vara något man har på sig för mannens skull. Jag skiter väl i honom! En praktiserande man har ansvar att inte titta. En kvinna ska kunna gå naken utan att han vänder sig om. Det är hans problem."

Siddhartha

"Slower, he walked along in his thoughts and asked himself: “But what is this, what you have sought to learn from teachings and from teachers, and what they, who have taught you much, were still unable to teach you?” And he found: “It was the self, the purpose and essence of which I sought to learn. It was the self, I wanted to free myself from, which I sought to overcome. But I was not able to overcome it, could only deceive it, could only flee from it, only hide from it. Truly, no thing in this world has kept my thoughts thus busy, as this my very own self, this mystery of me being alive, of me being one and being separated and isolated from all others, of me being Siddhartha! And there is no thing in this world I know less about than about me, about Siddhartha!”


"Wisdom is not communicable. The wisdom which a wise (wo)man tries to communicate always sounds foolish... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it."

- Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
