My friend Michaela ‘my X’ has just finished college ‘Finances & Taxes’. She’s living in Bratislava, I’m living in Vienna.
The situation in Bratislava is that you can rent a one room apartment for about 400-500 euros, depending on the location. The average brutto pay in our region is about 1.400 euros, which is about 1.000 netto. I think it’s awful that the house owners are so greedy. How on earth is it fair to pay 50% of your income for an apartment.
Michaela will get 950 euros brutto, which is about 700 netto in IBM. She would live with a friend of hers, so she’ll only be paying about 200 a month for housing. Add 250 for food and she’s stuck with 200 for the rest.
Why do people think that IBM is such a great company?
Why is there such a difference in wages?
Why do the smaller companies in Bratislava pay more than the international / large ones. For example a local IT company in Bratislava would pay her 1.500-2.000 euros. That’s if the owners are Slovak.
I would actually pay for a PRO version of Tumblr.
If I could bind Tumblr to some custom made services and if I could host also other kind of content like open source software and other open source projects than I might stop using Sourceforge.net
If there would be a cloud service provided by Tumblr, than I might start using that as well. Also - Tumblr allows me to use my domains for blogs. So I have http://www.milankazarka.com which is hosted here. Now I would like to get mail for this domain, for example mk at milankazarka.com, but I need to host it some place else.
Here are just some possibilities how Tumblr can make money. I don’t think it makes much on selling themes, etc. And I don’t think that that’s really a gown up business strategy.
You don’t need to have ads all over the place to make money, just listen to your users.
We all have sometimes in our life ran away from problems & issues. We have sometimes buried our problems under the carpet and not talked about them.
I think that if you are constantly in an environment where problems aren’t solved, but they are being synthetically removed by not talking about them you develop a certain despair in that you want to in simple terms be a show-off in the future and want to be listened to.
In fact I think that children who’s parents don’t talk with them about problems are more likely to thrive for respect and for being heard. This is not in any way bad, but I think that there is a difference in how you perceive respect, love, affection and how you value others listening to you if you haven’t been listened to as a child, eg. if your problems have always been buried under the carpet.
If you are a young person and you feel that your voice is not being heard and that every achievement you make is being ridiculed then you might search for people who respect you and groups in which you are heard.
Be aware that there are people who might want to deceive you! Be prepared that you might meet people who only listen to you to get you into their agenda and not to push forward yours.
If you are older then imagine a business partner who you found recently and who listens to you and tries to help you. Only afterwards you find that the whole reason why he helped you was not because of the success of you both, but only for his own progress.
Despair in wanting to have your voice being heard attracts foes.
Be strong and recognize true affection of others. Always question when others try to help you.
How can you research if a controversial theory may be plausible? How can you decide if there is a chance that something may possibly be true? I don’t mean deciding if it is or isn’t.
Ask your self for example in the case of 9/11 if there could exist people who might wanted to kill other people for their benefit. Ask yourself if you ever wanted to do something wrong just to get what you want.
Would it be possible that there are people who would be willing to kill thousands for their benefit?
History tells us that there is a large possibility that such people exist. So the theory of 9/11 being an inside job may be plausible.
A murderer doesn’t in his core want to kill someone. What he’s searching for is what results from the killing. He is in general searching for his perception of happiness even if for him this may even mean inflicting pain on himself or others.
The society doesn’t consider the thrive for happiness as being evil, but it does divide the actions people do to achieve it into moral and immoral.
Wanting to be happy is a human right. Wanting to kill someone to become happy is considered immoral.
I believe that law should only be guided by moral principles. Moral codex is the basis for deciding if someone’s actions are acceptable or not.
Here I’m talking about motivations as being the most basic thing that drives us to do ‘something’. I don’t consider the act of wanting to kill someone as motivation. I believe that it is only a second layer above ones desire to be happy.
1 first level - motivation
2 second level - perception (deciding about actions)
3 third level - action (decision)
Your perception of the world is what is transmitting your motivations into actions. If your point of view on how to become happy is that you must kill someone, then you are a murderer because you translate your motivations into actions in an immoral way.
Law Based on Motivation
A system of law that bases it’s decisions according to ones motivations / first level motivations must be flawed.
Imagine that it would be unlawful for you to want to be free or to want to say what you want. Such systems exist in 2012 and they must be considered tyrany.
In North Korea it is unlawful to say whatever you want. It is not unlawful for a soldier to kill a man who said what he wanted. Thus the difference between first level motivation and action based law.
So why is the perception altered to resulting in immoral actions?
Lack of empathy and in general the lack of information. Lack of empathy and Hypocrisy.
If someone in your circle lacks respect for your motivations and acts against them, try to remove this person from their reach on you or leave them behind.
In their core the motivations of people aren’t evil, since even the most evil motivations have their beginning in the animal instincts of humans.
What we may call evil are the actions that emerge from these motivations.
