Dan moet je dat citaat eens hervertalen:
"Een land dat economisch redeneert, geeft blijk van onvermorgen om de eigen vaardigheden en ondernemingszin te ontwikkelen."

I KNOW what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals —
I know what the caged bird feels!

I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting —
I know why he beats his wing!

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings —
I know why the caged bird sings!

Whenever a political project takes a radical turn, up pops the inevitable blackmail: ‘Of course these goals are desirable in themselves; if we do all this, however, international capital will boycott us, the growth rate will fall, and so on.’ The sound barrier – the qualitative leap that occurs when one expands the quantity of resistance from local communities to wider social circles (up to the state itself) – will have to be broken, and the risk will have to be taken to organize larger and larger social circles along the lines of the self-organization of excluded marginal communities. Many fetishes will have to be broken here: who cares if growth stalls, or even becomes negative? Have we not had enough of the high growth rate whose effects on the social were felt mostly in the guise of new forms of poverty and dispossession? What about a negative growth that would translate into a qualitatively better, not higher, standard of living for the wider popular strata? That would be a political act today – to break the spell of automatically endorsing the existing political framework, to break out of the debilitating alternative ‘either we just directly endorse free-market globalization, or we make impossible promises along the lines of magic formulae about how to have one’s cake and eat it, about how to combine globalization with social solidarity’.

Xuod zei:

Allah,er is geen god dan Hij
De levende De zelfstandige
sluimer noch slaap kan Hem treffen
aan Hem behoort toe wat er in de hemelen en wat er op aarde is
wie is degene die van voorspraak is bij Hem zonder Zijn verlof
Hij kent wat er voor hen is en wat er achter hen is
en zij kunnen niets van Zijn kennis omvatten,behalve wat Hij wil
Zijn troon strekt zich uit over de hemelen en de aarde
en het waken over beide vermoeit Hem niet
en Hij is de Verhevene,de Almachtige
Koran 2:255

When cities burn and armies turn,
and flee in disarray;
Cowards will cry: "T'is best to fly,
and fight another day!"
But warriors know, in their marrow,
when they die and fall;
T'is best to have fought and lost,
than not to have fought at all!

Boeddhisme begint me meer en meer aan te spreken. Net als Hindoeïsme eigenlijk.
