DAYS of COMMON COLLECTIVE WILL

Lessons from Egypt to Ethiopia
*
DAYS of COMMON COLLECTIVE WILL (DoCCW)

The Revolution of Egypt, as spontaneous as it may seem at face value, especially for those who were only observers from overseas or the west allies of the Mubarak Regime, has  been on the contrary a product of undeterred creative hard work and perseverance. Conscious and creative perseverant hard work of those well versed and patient genuine young democrats, who have been fighting openly and struggling undercover in the DoCCW for years, by building a common purpose of Collective WILL and Trust, to oust the regime once and for all, to introduce a genuine Democracy free of all prejudices and ideology! *1)

DoCCW               -DAYS of COMMON COLLECTIVE WILL 

1. DoP            -Days of Protests (lasting several years successively)
2. DoR            -Days of Rage (lasting several Weeks)
3. DoM           -Days of Millions (lasting several Days)
4. DoD            -DAY of Dignity –The Victory – Mubarak ousted!

The next phases are not less challenging, but optimism can always remain a principle.

5. DoC                               -Days of construction and Constituting
6. DoD                               -Days of Democracy –

*
Thus, for all those who are burning with the aspiration of such a Liberation Movement of their People for Dignity, the first BIG QUESTION running through all forces of their respective societies is :

WHAT IS THE COMMON COLLECTIVE WILL sustainable for all times to come? 
 -The DoCCW!

AND 

For ETHIOPIA, what is IT? 


It is SO SIMPLE, 
If there is the great,

GOOD WILL of being GOOD!

Make up your MIND 
For The DoCCW. 

All what every single SELF 
Wants for its Dignity 
Is ....JUST & GENUINE DEMOCRACY!

What is the sole obstacle to the Rule of Democracy?
To read more:
28 Feb 2011
All talk of transformation is meaningless, without a strong WILL of common sense for change. The Common Sense is The Feeling of Love, Justice and Peace! Thus how, and through what means can this BIG WILL for Change be cultivated & nurtured, specially in the vast mass of the Youth - the "new" ... of the "SELF" to come to a collective WILL of working for a modern empathic Ethiopian community, developing under democratic and humanist principles of the 21st century, eye to eye equally positioned to all the modern youth of the globe? ...
*
The Ethiopian Youth lacks as a collective Genuine & Mutual Trust; a big handicap of our Ethiopian social collective today, hampering the breakthrough for a common purpose - 
A common purpose -YES not more not less than the big sense of Freedom at ALL levels!

TIME & LIFE

To Ethiopia - In the After-Days of the 28th of May 2011

Hope is a Principle and Hope that,

Thoughts are Things

“I hold it true that thoughts are things;
They’re endowed with bodies and breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results or ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds forth to earth’s remotest spot,
Leaving it’s blessings or it’s woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future thought by thought,
for good or ill yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought.
Thought is another name for fate;
Choose them thy destiny and wait,
For love brings love and hate brings hate”
-Henry Van Dyke-
*
&
*
"TIME is ETERNITY"

*
"  Time is too slow for those who wait, 
too swift for those who fear, 
too long for those who grieve, 
too short for those who rejoice, 
but for those who love – time is eternity"

Lyrics written by Henry van Dyke: 


Life ...is Hope

    LET me but live my life from year to year,
    With forward face and unreluctant soul;
    Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal;
    Not mourning for the things that disappear
    In the dim past, nor holding back in fear
    From what the future veils; but with a whole
    And happy heart, that pays its toll
    To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer.
    So let the way wind up the hill or down,
    O'er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy:
    Still seeking what I sought when but a boy,
    New friendship, high adventure, and a crown,
    My heart will keep the courage of the quest,
    And hope the road's last turn will be the best. 
     
    Henry Van Dyke

On Courage

http://declareyourbeing.com/?page_id=3391

‘Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition.

INFINITY

INFINITY
A flash of good ideas; quoted or paraphrased:

Thoughts from Emmanuel Levinas:

- "Once a feeling of "Infinity"   is nurtured, there exists a possibility of  cultivating "  attitudes of "  seeking and questioning"   "

- "Having a sense" 
- a sense of speicial quality - 
in its expression  
as love, justice and peace"

- Having a sense" - 
an intention of love that has  
the quality of mystery/unknowability 
or "that which cannot be known or represented totally in consciousness"...

suggests a hospitality of justice and a gift of friendship, 
in which "  the lost "...   may be ...helped in times of troubel!

Story Behind Praying Hands by Albrecht Durer

The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, take a second look.
Let it be your reminder, if you still need one, that no one

no one–ever makes it alone
!


Story Behind Praying Hands by Albrecht Durer


“Praying Hands” (study for an Apostle figure of the “Heller” altar, 1508). Dürer, Albrecht.

The actual drawing of Hands, sketched in 1508, was intended as a preliminary study for an altarpiece commissioned by a wealthy Frankfort citizen, Jacob Heller. Nevertheless, the drawing is finished down to the last detail, because Durer planned to transpose it exactly in the final oil painting. For 13 months Durer worked on the final painting, determined to make it so sound and beautiful “that it will remain bright and fresh for five hundred years.
The Legend Behind the Praying Hands
Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. Eighteen! In order merely to keep food on the table for this mob, the father and head of the household, a goldsmith by profession, worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade and any other paying chore he could find in the neighborhood.
Despite their seemingly hopeless condition, two of Albrecht Durer the Elder’s children had a dream. They both wanted to pursue their talent for art, but they knew full well that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
After many long discussions at night in their crowded bed, the two boys finally worked out a pact. They would toss a coin. The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother while he attended the academy. Then, when that brother who won the toss completed his studies, in four years, he would support the other brother at the academy, either with sales of his artwork or, if necessary, also by laboring in the mines.
They tossed a coin on a Sunday morning after church. Albrecht Durer won the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, financed his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation. Albrecht’s etchings, his woodcuts, and his oils were far better than those of most of his professors, and by the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn considerable fees for his commissioned works.
When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held a festive dinner on their lawn to celebrate Albrecht’s triumphant homecoming. After a long and memorable meal, punctuated with music and laughter, Albrecht rose from his honored position at the head of the table to honor his beloved brother for the years of sacrifice that had enabled Albrecht to fulfill his ambition. His closing words were, “And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your turn. Now you can go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.”
All heads turned in eager expectation to the far end of the table where Albert sat, tears streaming down his pale face, shaking his lowered head from side to side while he sobbed and repeated, over and over, “No …no …no …no.”
Finally, Albert rose and wiped the tears from his cheeks. He glanced down the long table at the faces he loved, and then, holding his hands close to his right cheek, he said softly, “No, brother. I cannot go to Nuremberg. It is too late for me. Look … look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass, much less make delicate lines on parchment or canvas with a pen or a brush. No, brother … for me it is too late.”
More than 450 years have passed. By now, Albrecht Durer’s hundreds of masterful portraits, pen and silver-point sketches, watercolors, charcoals, woodcuts, and copper engravings hang in every great museum in the world, but the odds are great that you, like most people, are familiar with only one of Albrecht Durer’s works. More than merely being familiar with it, you very well may have a reproduction hanging in your home or office.
One day, to pay homage to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother’s abused hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his powerful drawing simply “Hands,” but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed his tribute of love “The Praying Hands.”

The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, take a second look. Let it be your reminder, if you still need one, that no one–no one–ever makes it alone!

A "strange" coincidence – Protest and Poison! ADAMA University

A "strange" coincidence – Protest and Poison!

Sunday, 22 May 2011 00:00
By Kaleyesus Bekele & Birtukan Fenata 

ባለፈው ረቡዕና ሐሙስ በአዳማ ዩኒቨርሲቲ በተማሪዎች መመገቢያ አዳራሽ ውስጥ የተገመገቡ 600 ያህል ተማሪዎች በጠና ታመው የሕክምና ዕርዳታ ተደረገላቸው፡፡
ተማሪዎች ዓርብ ባስነሱት ተቃውሞ ከፖሊስ ጋር መጋጨታቸውንና ግቢው በፖሊስ ጥበቃ ሥር መዋሉ ታውቋል፡፡

በዩኒቨርሲቲው የሚገኙ የሪፖርተር ምንጮች እንደገለጹት፣ ረቡዕ ተማሪዎቹ ምሳ ከበሉ በኋላ ወደ 11 ሰዓት ገደማ በርካታ ተማሪዎች መታመም ጀመሩ፡፡ የሕመሙ ምልክቶች ራስ ምታት፣ ቁርጠትና ራስን እየሳቱ መውደቅ ሲሆኑ፣ በሁሉም ታማሚ ተማሪዎች ላይ ተመሳሳይ ምልክቶች ታይተዋል፡፡

አንዳንድ ያነጋገርናቸው የዩኒቨርሲቲው ተማሪዎች እንደገለጹት ከሆነ ደግሞ፣ ተማሪዎቹ ወደላይ አያስመልሳቸውም ወይም የሆድ ሕመም ምልክት አይታይባቸውም፡፡ ነገር ግን ራሳቸው ክፉኛ መታመሙን የሚገልጹና ራሳቸውን ስተው የሚወድቁ በርካቶች ነበሩ፡፡

The Big Difference

The Flash of The DAY:

BEWARE!

The Method  makes The BIG Difference
IT is NOT just a difference!!!

The END determines The MEANS!
or
The END justifies The MEANS!

YOU HAVE to make a CHOICE! 
If the End justifies the violence -your means- there is no way where you can end the violence at the END.
This applies to every means and end!
That is the least we have to learn out of the last 4 decades of the Ethiopian Social Evolution!

".....the inaction of those ......made it possible ....." HSI



"  Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who would have acted; the indifference of those who would have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph"   (HSI)



May be this very call by Himself prompted my generation to work against his rule for a better vision, a fundamental structural change-  with all the disaster that followed. Hope is still a principle, the vision never dies and a Just and Genuine Democratic Ethiopia is on the horizon. 


Therefore, as an old child of the "protest generation of the 60s", I am neither someone who would dream on the restoration of the old feudal order, with an illusion to change the flow of time, nor a promoter of any of the modernist social agencies, which would reformulate any discourse of philosophy or faith to present it as a structural model to run modern nations, (cf. constitutional monarchy etc. The real parody of the queen of England or the "copulation" of "William and Kate" attended by millions, makes me always smile on our stupidity, to be in need of such projections to unfold the mind). I am an opponent of such ideas by all standards, since I am “an apostle” of enlightenment a la Kant, - Sapere Aude!-  to which I am fully committed, in the faith of the authentic, autonomous and sovereign Human, embodied in every single of us!  Nonetheless this would not by all means prevent me to critically appraise all leading figures of history, in their role of the formation of nations and states. Given his rule of  Absolute Monarchy my generation has witnessed, and the great outstanding role he played in the anti-colonial & anti-racist liberation struggle of Africa on the other side, the last  Emperor Haile Selassie I of ETHIOPIA belongs to this category of prominence...

And In this context, wiser after the prime-age, I wouldn't mind the least to reiterate such relevant statements from him like the above beautiful message!.

The above telling civil (not the pomp and splendour) picture with the corresponding impressive message (1* is so relevant in these days of African struggle for dignity against all tyrannies, that I have to reproduce it here again. 
 A telling art of photography! 

The picture for modesty;
The pose for reflection;
The look for humility;
“Tizibt”/ትዝብት/regret, for our failure to make it better, 
and

The whole in its entirety for the serious plight of Ethiopia (2*,
calling for an immediate change!

*

Many Thanks belongs to the Web-source where I came across it! A site with more valuable resources on a peaceful struggle for dignity!

As if the political condition is not distressing enough, such stories from the spiritual sphere makes the misery as unendurable as ever! May just god bless the new generation to make an end to this blasphemy on all fronts!

"When the idea formed of Divinity is the fruit of true spiritual culture, its intimate re-action on the inner perfection is at once beneficial and beautiful. All things assume a new form and meaning in our eyes when regarded as the creatures of forecasting design, and not the capricious handiwork of unreasoning chance. The ideas of wisdom order, and adaptative forethought,—ideas so necessary to the conduct of our own actions, and even to the culture of the intellect,—strike deeper root into our susceptible nature, when we discover them everywhere around us. The finite becomes, as it were, infinite; the perishable, enduring; the fleeting, stable; the complex, simple,—when we contemplate one great regulating Cause on the summit of things, and regard what is spiritual as endlessly enduring. Our search after truth, our striving after perfection, gain greater certainty and consistency when we can believe in the existence of a Being who is at once the source of all truth, and the sum of all perfection. The soul becomes less painfully sensible of the chances and changes of fortune, when it learns how to connect hope and confidence with such calamities. The feeling of receiving everything we possess from the hand of love, tends no less to exalt our moral excellence and enhance our happiness. Through a constant sense of gratitude for enjoyment—through clinging with fond trustfulness to the object towards which it yearns, the soul is drawn out of itself, nor always broods in jealous isolation over its own sensations, its own plans, hopes, and fears. Should it lose the exalting feeling of owing everything to itself, it still enjoys the rapture of living in the love of another,—a feeling in which its own perfection is united with the perfection of that other being. It becomes disposed to be to others what others are to it; it would not that they too should receive nothing but from themselves, in the same way that it receives nothing from others."
