I was just reading about how in Australia young people used sms's to rally people together against Muslims. It seems that SMS's are used in a lot of different ways to gather people together to protest or fight against something. What about gathering people together to do something good. In bigger cities have a SMS happening by taking food out to the homeless or cleaning up some part of a city that need a good cleaning!

There must be someway to use SMS to do something good instead of beating up Muslims!

I was at a friends house yesterday, enjoying newly made Christmas cookies and homemade candy. We started talking about how problems in families go from one generation to the other. A girl that has experience violence in the home will marry a man that is violent and even if she leaves him she will find another that is the same. In the same way a man that has experienced violence from his father will be that way when he becomes a father. We talk about how do they break out of that circle. The system in Denmark is that the State offers counseling ect. But it does not seem to work very well. Then my friend said they need a model, they need to see - live with a family that is happy. They will not learn how to be a good parents by just going to courses or counseling. But where are the families that will open their homes? Am I willing? Is my home an example to follow!

I got back from Nepal. I had a great trip, without any sickness. I got to see a lot and taught at two different schools. First on World-views then on Relationships. Two subjects that I feel very strong about. It was very interessting to be in a country where there is so much going on politically. The government is corrupt. The only ones that are trying to do anything is the maoist. Who else will? Hindu thinkning is like the postmodern western thinking. "everyone is right - how do I know what is really the right thing to do". 

I heard an author and thinker, Vishal Mangalwadi, from India say, the west is where India was 1000 years ago in their thinking.  The more I learn about Nepal and Hindu thinking & history, the more I can see what he means.  1000 years ago in India it was a strong society, they had a lot of innovation and learning with universities. But then a guru showed up with new ideas which stop the innovation and learning.  So from a growing strong society, it when to a weak and vulnerable society that the British Empire could take advantage of.

It's just like where the West is now. There are no absolutes, so why should we learn anything. We can not be sure about anything, so why bother to learn about anything. Motivation is gone to learn and progress. The only motivation left is to just make myself happy - who cares about anyone else!
