Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, a Reflection on the Self

Day 683, 13:27 Published in Germany China by Donnie Bronco
What are we going to do?

“Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.”

It is often said we need changes, we need a new direction to go, and we need to find a new path to the future. These changes come with what we do, what we decide and where we go.

PEACE is not something you wish for; It's something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away.” (Robert Fulghum)

We have to show where we go and who we are,
We stand together and fall together.


Why can't we all just get along?

"From a certain point of view our real enemy, the true troublemaker, is inside." (Tenzin Gyatso)

The topic of conflict has come to my mind of late, and I am doing a lot of contemplating on this issue. While we are on the way get stronger with the foreign policy, domestically it´s boiling.

“Money, you have lots of friends hanging round the door. When it's gone and the spending ends They don't come no more.” (Billie Holiday)


Why can´t we see the positive things that a faithful ally has done?
Why do we have to condemn him instantly?
Why do we have to forget him?

Sure, it takes two for a tango,...
...one who was judges and one who judged,
...one who attacks and one who is attacked,
...one who wins and one who loses.

Domestically, attacks happen over and over again, why? Quite simply, everyone wants to prove themselves again and again, one can´t forgive and forget. There will always be

Problems that can´t be solved,
Conflicts arise that can´t be solved,
And mistakes happen that can´t be forgiven.


But nevertheless, shouldn´t we get along with each other, show respect and try to pursue a common goal? Sometimes I feel:

“When a hundred me stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one.” (Friedrich Nietzsche)

But the history shows time and time again, that people endured crisis together, help each other and live together, fight together and win together.

„What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise.” (Oscar Wilde)


We Stand With Our Allies

There will be always feuds with each other but no one can see the forest for the trees. It doesn´t matter whether it´s because of money, power or reputation. Nations fight each other, whether it´s because of hatred, tactics or imperialism.

“He who lives by fighting with an enemy has an interest in the preservation of the enemy's life.” (Nietzsche, Friedrich)

What remains are our friends. The latest event that affects our allies, is the declaration of war from Poland to Lithuania. We can´t just say we have allies in times of crisis, but we have to say we have allies all the time. And now we have once again the opportunity to support and to show we're there.

„War does not determine who is right - only who is left.” (Bertrand Russell)


There are always moments in which the citizens of nations, don´t understand the governments, don´t ask the Government,

because they think they are not there for them,
because they just see a big distance.

“We are friends and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often.” (Jeanette Winterson quotes)

But what remains are our friends.


Are we there yet?

No. We have lost friends and we have experienced a lot. We found new friends, and were betrayed; but, we are moving forward!

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

We haven´t reached the future yet, keep moving forward and have strong allies, PEACE. Propably there are still people who fear the future, but I say fear not.


“When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people:
those who let it happen,
those who make it happen,
and those who wonder what happened.” (John M. Richardson, Jr.)


We Are PEACE

Finally, remains one sentence to say:

“There is no way to peace, PEACE is the way.” (A. J. Muste quotes)


Whether TGE win or I, we help each other, work together and lead you into the future.

Your,
Donnie Bronco


German

Was sollen wir tun?

“Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.”

Oft wird gesagt, dass wir Veränderungen brauchen, wir uns neu ausrichten oder neue Wege einschlagen müssen. Das muss aber nicht sein, denn die Veränderungen kommen durch das, was wir machen, was wir entscheiden und wohin wir gehen.

PEACE is not something you wish for; It's something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away.” (Robert Fulghum)

Wir müssen zeigen, wohin wir gehen und wer wir sind.
Wir müssen diesen Weg gemeinsam beschreiten und bis zum Ende zusammenbleiben.


Wieso können wir nicht miteinander auskommen?

"From a certain point of view our real enemy, the true troublemaker, is inside." (Tenzin Gyatso)

In letzter Zeit hat mich beschäftigt, was innenpolitisch passiert ist. Wir sind zwar außenpolitisch auf dem besten Weg, unsere Position zu festigen, aber innenpolitisch brodelt es tief.

“Money, you have lots of friends hanging round the door. When it's gone and the spending ends They don't come no more.” (Billie Holiday)


Warum sieht man nicht, welche Dinge ein treuer Alliierter getan hat?
Warum muss man ihn direkt verurteilen?
Warum muss mann ihn sofort abschreiben?

Natürlich gehören immer zwei dazu:
einer der urteilt und einer der verurteilt wird,
einer der angreift und einer der angegriffen wird,
einer der gewinnt und einer der verliert.

Leider passieren innenpolitisch immer wieder gegenseitige Angriffe. Warum? Ganz einfach: jeder will sich profilieren, man kann nicht vergeben oder man kann nicht vergessen.

Immer wird es vorkommen, dass...
...es Probleme gibt, die man nicht beseitigen kann,
...Konflikte entstehen, die man nicht rückgängig machen kann,
...Fehler passieren, die man nicht vergeben kann.

Sollten wir nicht dennoch besser versuchen, miteinander auszukommen, Respekt füreinander zu zeigen und ein gemeinsames Ziel zu verfolgen?


Manchmal habe ich das Gefühl:

“When a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one.” (Friedrich Nietzsche)

Dennoch: Die Geschichte zeigt, dass Menschen nach Krisen zusammen finden, sie helfen sich und leben miteinander, kämfen gemeinsam und gewinnen.

„What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise” (Oscar Wilde)


Wir stehen zu unseren Verbündeten

Es gibt immer wieder Kleinkriege untereinander, aber den Wald sieht vor lauter Bäumen keiner. Ob es nun wegen Geld, Macht oder dem Ansehen ist: Nationen bekriegen sich, egal ob nun aus Hass, Taktik oder Imperialismus.

“He who lives by fighting with an enemy has an interest in the preservation of the enemy's life.” (Nietzsche, Friedrich)

Was bleibt sind unsere Freunde. Das neueste Ereignis, das unsere Allierten betrifft ist die Kriegserklärung von Polen an Litauen. Wir dürfen nicht sagen, dass wir in Krisen Alliierte haben, sondern wir haben die ganze Zeit Alliierte. Jetzt haben wir wieder die Möglichkeit, zu unterstützen, zu helfen und zu zeigen: wir sind da.

„War does not determine who is right - only who is left.” (Bertrand Russell)


Es gibt immer wieder Momente in der die Bürger der Nationen ihre Regierung nicht verstehen, bei ihrer Regierung nicht nachfragen,

weil sie denken, dass sie nicht für sie da ist,
weil sie denken, dass es eine zu große Distanz gibt.

“We are friends and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often.” (Jeanette Winterson quotes)

Was bleibt sind unsere Freunde.


Sind wir schon angekommen?

Nein. Wir haben Freunde verloren, viel erlebt, haben neue Freunde gewonnen, wurden verraten, aber wir schreiten voran.

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Wir haben die Zukunft noch nicht erreicht, bewegen uns weiter nach vorne und haben einen starken Alliierten PEACE. Es gibt wohl noch Bürger, die Angst vor der Zukunft haben, aber ich sage, fürchtet euch nicht.

“When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people:
those who let it happen,
those who make it happen,
and those who wonder what happened.” (John M. Richardson, Jr.)


Wir sind PEACE

Abschließend bleibt nur zu sagen:

“There is no way to peace, PEACE is the way.” (A. J. Muste quotes)


Egal ob TGE oder ICH gewinne, wir helfen uns gegenseitig, arbeiten zusammen und führen euch in die Zukunft.

Euer,
Donnie Bronco
