the ohh and aahhh and ommmm

I think we all know the days that we think 'meh', or that we love to ignore the alarm and hide under the blankets, until it is over.

Days that we feel weak, days that we are not happy,  when we think all is wrong. 
It is normal, natural, and for all healthy, to be weak now and then, your body, your soul, screams for attention when it doesn't get enough.

Most people, at work, at social media, do show an attitude, in what they (want to) get attention.  A smile, a joke, always being positive, the best photos, the best of everything.  If you follow that people, they are everywhere around us, you see a contineous line from happiness, lucky moments, and all that jazz.

It looks like we are ashamed of being weak, now and then. It looks like no one dares to show his/her real emotions. 
Recently, in a training, I saw someone crying.  That is.. there were some tears in the eyes. 
Of course it was a touchy situation, I do not mind tears, I think they are a good expression, just as laughter.  If I cry, I cry fully.  Complete with a running nose, sounds and tears.  So many people do worry more about their make up, then about what is really going on in their soul. 

I think it is important that we now and then show our weaknes. My own experience is, that at  the moment that you show that you are weak, when your emotions bubble up, that you open the people around you as well.  Many people say that they can not handle emotions. I think that that is wrong, we all can, we just need to trust, and not being afraid.  Not being afraid to show it, not being afraid to say, hey, I know what you feel, I have a shoulder, and an ear...
Showing the real you, the real emotions, gives others a possibility to open theirselves as well.

Tear off the mask, and dare to show people who you really are.  Your weakness will turn out to be your strength.  You will use your emotions, the way they are meant to be. To show the real you. To be who you are. Imperfect perfection.

Don't be afraid to show it, you will see that you are not alone!

Make this world Greta.

This commercial was in our central station, in June, and I liked it right away. It was in the time that the young Greta was becoming famous for her 'friday for future'  strikes and her activities for the world climate.
I understand the frustration of people,  when you see what happens with our planet. The pollution is immense, the solutions are far away, and, often hidden by power and money makers, who  prefer to let the things as they are, instead of changing.
History learns us, that people need to get on the street, if they want changes. In this case it started with a very young woman, and meanwhile she is known by everyone.  Friends and foes, I wanted to write, because, as appearantly is normal nowadays, who has ideas has to count with massive attacks, threathenings and insults at the person. Only very strong people can hold that.  And the people who simply stand for what they want and NOT give up. Who simply ignore the violence and not lead the attention away from where it is about making this world a better one. Not only for herself, but for everyone, who can be angry about that?

I see people that I really like, posting 'hate messages', like, the most irritating person of the year, and that is a mild one, all about that Greta Tunberg, who is worried.  Instaad of that we take her worries away, the world is trying to put her in a corner, to let her shut up her opionion.  Not so easy anymore, every day more people join and want solutions, where we ALL on coorporate. We can only improve our life, our future, if we work on it together. And our future is now, so we should hurry up with that! 

So, I see absolutely no reason to hate this woman, for what she is doing.
Why do people, who does not know her, personally, judge her on things that are from the category fake news?  Why are you nerved by seeing the words of a worried young woman?
I should respect you much more, if you not reply to her woreries, what are as well mine (and of MANY others) with hate and agression, but when you say, okay, I want you to go back to school, here I am, I take over the things that you are wishing for us all. Why?  Because it matters all of us.
