Beautiful Built Environment

You love to appear in architectural beautiful built environment. This has happened to you several times in your life so far.

Sometimes, you feel that you would like to go there and see that again and here you figure out you need another visa to enter the country.

You think; why can’t someone go where he or she wants without any visa or permission. Why do you have to be dependent on someone’s will to allow you or not, if you live as a decent person and haven’t done anything wrong or not allowed. In the 21st century the technologies’ development level allows a fast and high-quality background check. If there are a biometric passport, digital passport and access to many databases, why not- just check and let people go, - wherever they want and if there is a suspicion, just follow them? You have the features and devices. What’s the problem here?

Very recently, a desire appeared to you to be able to fly like birds to reach where you want, but then you realize they also meet obstacles during their flights: The difference is that they are natural obstacles.

Pinterest is a Blessed Web Site

Pinterest is a blessed web site. It’s an American social media web. It operates a software system designed to enable saving and discovery of information on the World Wide Web using images on a smaller scale, GIFs, and videos. There, people meet other people who love beauty and visual effects. Every individual is able to upload a wide variety of beautiful and meaningful images to that site to make others feel excited about life. It helps to appear in different environments at the same time that which enriches feelings and improves perception skills of diversity. The diversity is in colors, in format, in meanings, in scale, in themes. The features of the web site allow grouping of the images in


several sections, which makes it easier to find the desired content in images. It collects and recommends images according to the tastes of users and sends emails with an already-organized bulk of images. This operation is liked the most, because it helps to ready a collection of images proper to someone’s taste. There is a feeling of safety that someone always can open Pinterest and see something very interesting and beautiful. It’s very informative, too.

P.S. With this story I want to express my appreciation to the creators of Pinterest social media, a site that beautifies my life and generates many of my thoughts.

Poems

Apparently, I shouldn’t meet my match mate in my life, but anyway I would think it is very likely that he exists on the Planet.

Looking back and getting some hidden information, now I know, I shouldn’t meet my match mate in my life, but anyway, I would think it is very likely that he exists on the Planet.

A glance back: no expectations. A glance back: not any worthwhile memories from my past at this point. A glance back: only looking forward. A glance back: only moving forward. And in reality it’s fated; I couldn’t meet my match mate in my life

There were some who worked on that There were some who were busy with that There were some who wouldn’t want that There were and are some who succeeded in making that


Anyway, it should be someone who would want me to be my match mate and I would think it is very much likely that he exists on the Planet.

Shabby Imitator-Politicians

They gather together They sit together They speak together They pose for taking pictures together They speak to each other They discuss something and Nothing, nothing and nothing Some of them with eyeglasses on their noses Kind of kind expressions on their faces And nothing, nothing and nothing, but Poison, poison and poison, Only idiotism, idiotism and idiotism Only dirt, dirt and dirt Only stupid, stupid and stupidity And nothing, nothing and nothing

I feel pity for the young generation who watches them
