“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, said:
“Man.
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."

Translated tweets from http://prayforjapan.jp/tweet.html.
“It’s so dark, the stars have never been so beautiful. Sendai, look up.” (in reference to the Sukiyaki song)
“On my 4 hour walk home, there was a woman with a sketchbook note written ‘please feel free to use the washroom!’ — she was opening her washroom to the public. Japan must be the warmest country on earth. I was in tears.”
”Disneyland was giving out snacks from the shops. Some high school girls were taking a whole bunch, and I thought ‘wtf’, but then I saw them giving them out to kids at the shelters. Parents can’t move around right now, so I’m both thankful and worried.”
“One person quietly picked up scattered goods at a supermarket, lined up and paid for her groceries. Another old lady gave up her seat to a pregnant woman. A foreigner who watched this was speechless. Wow, Japan.”
”It’s nothing new for a green light to only get one car through, but I was moved to see people giving way to each other. Traffic was paralyzed at one complicated intersection for 5 minutes, but the only honks I heard were ones signaling ‘thanks’. Amidst these scary but warming times, I’ve come to like Japan even more.”
“Last midnight, on the way home from college, the old lady at the bakery was still giving out bread for free — well past closing time. People are doing all they can even in amidst the chaos. Tokyo’s not so bad after all.”
“I got a text message from my Korean friend. ‘The world’s only atom bomb victim. The loser of the world war. Hit by typhoons every year. Earthquakes all the time. Tsunamis too. Yet Japan always stands back up. God speed Japan, god speed.’ I’m still crying.”
“I was tired waiting at the station, when some homeless people gave me a cardboard box to sit on to keep warm. This after we pretend they don’t even exist. It’s warm.”
“Suntory vending machines are free, Softbank WiFi spots are public. Everyone’s cooperating, and the other nations are helping too. Compared to back during the Hanshin earthquake when people refused foreign aid and obstructed the Self Defense Force deployment, Japan’s definitely become a stronger country.”
“I talked to the night shift metro driver. ‘Tough work, huh?’ He smiled and said, ‘well it’s tough times!’ He’s cool.”
“I walked 4 hours from the city center. The sidewalks were jammed with people, but it was orderly and silent. The shops were open, everyone working. The Internet infrastructure survived the shaking,
and people set up facilities to accommodate the stranded. The trains are running all night. Japan’s amazing. Who cares what place we are in GDP.”
“People of Japan, please don’t lose kindness. Protect the weak, help each other, and have forgiveness. When you’re worried, so too will those around you be. This is our wish. We here will do just the same.” — signed, Ultraman and staff
“My 2 year old son put on his shoes and just about wandered outside. ‘I’m going to arrest the earthquake!’, he says. Encouraging to see such courage and righteousness in such a small body. Be strong, everyone.”
“When there’s a power outage, someone fixes it. When the water stops, someone fixes it. When there’s a problem at the nuclear plants, someone goes to fix it. These things don’t just fix themselves. While we’re sitting in our rooms going ‘hurry up dammit’, there are people out there in the freezing cold putting their lives on the line to set shit straight for us."

darbs
mans tētis strādā par koku
un gatavo tīru gaisu
mana mamma šuj zaļas lapas
un pļavās pienenes kaisa
es sēžu zālē zem koka
un kustinu basu kāju
es protu pavasarī
strādāt par elpotāju

Gribu gulēt ziemas miegā; saldi nogulēt visus pienākumus pašai pret sevi.

Šonakt sapnī es staigāju pa mežu un pie manis atnāca balts vilks. Viņš bija ļoti skaists, pūkains un man par brīnumu labsirdīgs. Sākumā man bija ļoti bail, vēlāk es viņu pieradināju (vai viņš mani?) un tālāk mēs gājām kopā. Mežā pēkšņi daudzviet bija cilvēki. Tādi kā tūristi vai pat mednieki. Sapratu, ka viņiem šis vilks neliksies tik draudzīgs kā man, tādēļ mēģināju palīdzēt vilkam paiet garām cilvēku apmetnēm nepamanītam.
Interesanti, ka bija vasara, bet vilks balts. Balti vilki parasti ir ziemā..

20. augusts.
Rīts sākas ar pastaigu pa mežu.
Viss vēl mirdz rasā kā dimantos. Putni čivina augstu priežu zaros un es gribu lidot ar viņiem.
Saules stari ķer manu smaidu. Kaut kur čāpo sēņotājs.
Būtu tik labi smaržot pēc meža, nevis pēc pilsētas. Tāds svaiguma un prieka vilnis. Es gribu palikt šajos mirkļos.
Pasakains sapnis, saucās - realitāte.
