Should we use animals in the circus?


Some days ago I read an article about that how circus stuff treat animals over there. The live conditions are horrible, animals live in a small cages, they haven't got proper, full-value food, they are beaten. I think that animals should live in their natural surroundings,(most of animals used in circus should live wild!). people shouldn't use them to make money, especially when they treat them in that bad way.

The bodies exhibition


A few days ago one of my friends told me that he is going to see the bodies exhibition. i didn't know what exactly it is, but after research in the internet i found that it shows real death bodies in motion. It looks exciting and thrilling - but is that moral? It depends of point of view. But i think that is ok only in one case, when before death person assent to be part of that exibition. In the different case I think that death bodies should be treats with a big respect, not only like part of an axhibition.

Violence


Few years ago I was living in blocks of flats - quite nice area on the subberbs. One night I woke uo by my neihbours scream. She and her husband had a big argue, but i've got scared when she started to shout "It hurts! Help!"... I didn't know what to do. I saw them day after that night, wife, husband, two daughters were going to the church, no one noticed that the lady had a black eye.. Everyone thought they are a perfect family, both were wealthy lawyers, really polite to everyone - but it was just pretending. Violcence in the family - it can happen everywhere, in poor as well as roch family, educated as well as non educated people. Why people do that? I don't know why - but there's no exuses. Violence is beginning of nothing else than ... violence. Hopefully is more and more institutions and organizations which help family which experienced violence.

Comment on Josephine Daly's blog on "Mortal or venial sin"

I can comment that post as a catholic person, who was growing up in religious family and religious country as well. If I believe in two kinds of sin? No I don't. I think that everything depends of situation. In my opinion good example is divorce, or having sex before marriage. every single priest comdemn worshippers for doing that, but why? Divorce, having sex before wedding and killing - they are the same king of sins, and I think it is not fair. By the way if we look for the history and the origin of confession we can observe that it was idea of the clergy who wanted to know what people are doing and scare them a bit (In Middle Ages, when was the beginning of confession, people who were going to war, and saw a lot of scary and disguting things were scared of nothing except hell, because they coulb't even imagine that) thats why I don't think the idea, when another person  who has a lot of sins (maybe sometimes even worses that ours) judge us is riddiculus. 



Religious Fanaticism


“Fanaticism is more dangerous that fascism” – I’m totally agree with that sentence. I’m religious person, but still I can observe the difference between religious person and religious fanatic. What is the main difference? That the fanatic people are using faith – in the past for killing people and for a reason to war – nowadays for a power. At the world it is some people who are using it. Politicians, priests, leaders – they are using people to have benefits from them, power and money. We can observe that is really dangerous thing. Just have a look at the bomb attacks in Pakistan, situation in Gaza or at the sects in Europe. For a good example I can write about Polish priest, the founder of “Radio Mary” – catholic radio station. Nothing bad in catholic radio station – ill, religious people can listen it at home easily, but first of all – the auditions are often racist and priests are offending people, sometimes only because of their dissidence. But what is the worst in “Radio Mary”? The worst thing is that old, retired and often poor people are giving for the Radio loads of money, and doing everything what the priest ask for. Nowadays he is a millionaire, just have a look at the building of “Radio Mary” or church’s garden – pool, tennis court, little waterfalls, peacocks… or have a look at the priest’s car – new meibach. That’s why polish people call him “priest director” and the relation between elderly people and teenagers is getting worse and worse. The priest is trying to be a politician as well. At the presidential election he was saying during the Sunday service for who people should vote… That’s why the religious fanaticism can be very dangerous and make people to do bad things.

Lying


Everyone lies. That’s what all we know. Some of the people are lying in big, another in small cases. Why are we doing it? Sometimes because the shame, another time because we don’t want to hurt another person. But lying can be a  type of protection, people who are lie are trying to protect themselves, they are feel better when they hide shameful for them truth. But is it good behavior? Absolutely not. If we are lying to hide shameful situation it means that we have problem somewhere inside us and we need a help. No one like to be deceived and we should respect it.

Euthanasia


Topic which makes a lot of controversial – euthanasia. Who should decide about people’s death? Religious people think that the only one ‘person’ who is allowed to decide about death is God. People who don’t believe say that when a person is ill and suffer, we can help that person to finish the painful life. It’s very hard to state a point-of-view about this topic, but I think that euthanasia is very dangerous, especially nowadays, when the mafia is connected to doctors and funeral parlous, and its them business to cajole people to decide to make euthanasia. But the most important thing is that person who is suffer very much or is like a vegetable is not awake to make the most important decision. In my opinion the person have to be conscious and sure that he or she wants to die, but in my opinion is not euthanasia anymore – it is a suicide. So, when we are talking about euthanasia – I think it’s wrong because anyone else can’t decide instead of us.

Body modification


Nowadays body modifications are getting more and more popular. Loads of teenagers want to have a fashionable tattoo or decide to make a piercing. Is it something bad to have a tattoo or piercing? In my opinion – no, everyone have own life, and no one is allowed to criticize our decisions. But sometimes body modifications are going to bad way – people totally change their look, (some people are starting to be an animal for example a tiger or a lizard) or just start to injure their body. When body modifications are becoming to be a masochism? When people starting to do it only for one reason – to feel the pain. Nowadays some groups are organizing meetings on which they are injuring their body to look ‘more attractive’. Some of them were starting to modify their body from making tattoos and piercing. Body modifications could be dangerous for health. After the modification people can get the infection, some of them are producing the side effects. Body modification is not bad think only when we want to beautify not to produce the pain.

Rape


Nowadays, rapes is a huge problem. Every weekend parties a lot of girls are coming to hospitals with bodily injuries, sometimes they don’t want to tell anyone what happened – they are shamed and want to forget about everything. Alcohol, drugs, provocative clothes – that’s how party can change into a nightmare.

Night clubs are dangerous especially for girls. Sometimes they just don’t expect that a little flirt can get out of control easily.  That’s why everyone should be very careful in the night club and trying not to talk and flirt with people who we don’t know.

Drugs


Friday evening, party – you need something to make your mood better. End of semester, lots of assessments to write, you need something to be more concentrate, you need more energy. Fat girl who has complex – any diet not working… she needs something to make her slimmer. This can be the beginning – of addiction. Addiction which can destroy whole your life. Which can change the human to vegetable. A lot of teenagers are curious about the drugs – how will I feel after, will it be like in the “hippie movies” – everything will be colorful and crazy, nothing will be impossible?  Sometimes that curiousness make teenagers addicted.. And change their life’s. Everyone knows the stories about drug dealers, and addicted people, we can see them on streets, dirty, stinks with mad eyes – they are asking every single pedestrian about money – they need drugs. How is it look like? Scary? Not really… It’s just really sad – how simple weed, pills or acid can destroy your life. That addiction never finish. When you are drug addicted – you will always be drug addicted, for whole your life. A lot of people who stopped taking drugs died because of flashbacks. You never know when flashback will come. You can be alone at home, at work, at school or – driving car, that’s why so many people dying. I would like to share with one true story which took place in Poland. Some students of University had a party in student’s hall to celebrate the end of semester. Party was really good, everyone were really happy because of the end of school and the holidays which came. One group of these students took some drugs. After that they had crazy ideas, like always after drugs, and they decided to go to the… Mars. They came to the roof, took some empty boxes, took a seat on the boxes, and rest of the students pushed them, and they fell down from the roof. After some time came the ambulance, but it was too late… six of students died, but on the other hand, they saved another six students who were on the roof, who wanted to do... a rescue operation

Shoplifting


Nowadays shoplifting is getting more and more popular. Shops, especially with clothes and accessories, have a lot of loss from that reason. What is interesting – people are stealing stuff not only because they need it and don’t have money for them, some of very wealthy people treat shoplifting like a fun which provide them with adrenalin. Every single theft is a crime. People who steal things, steal not only stuff – steal someone’s hard work, and someone’s money as well. In my opinion only one reasonable steal is stealing food by very poor people. In some countries government not help them, and they have to fight for survival, and stealing food is the only one way.

If any money of that world is worth my body?


Prostitute – the oldest profession of the Word, and probably the most controversial one. Nevertheless I don’t think so it’s just a profession. First of all – it’s selling, selling the most valuable thing – sexuality. Some prostitutes use to say: I’m a prostitute because I have no chance to find a normal job, I have children and I have to earn money to live. Maybe it’s truth but, I believe that women who have financial problems still can unique that situation, when they have to sell their body -  government and lots of organizations are trying to help that women to solve financial problems. We can also read in lots of magazines about women who had been prostitutes before and left that ‘job’. Most of them want to forget about past, and try to start new life, but it’s not simple. Some of them need a professional help, because still can’t live with a shameful past. If any women have to make a decision – be or not to be a prostitute, she should think first – if any money of that world is worth my body?

Smoking


On the box of cigarettes we can read – “smoking kills”, “smoking is unhealthy for you and people around you” or see smoker’s lungs picture, what should make person who want to smoke to thinking about consequences of smoking. But most of smokers don’t care about that – in their opinion, cigarettes are making them calmer – and this is the most important. However, it shouldn’t be. Cigarettes making people calmer not for a long time, then they are more nervous and need more and more nicotine. Smoking are not the reason of lungs’ problems only. It can be the reason of whole respiratory system, intestines, skin problems and many other. Moreover, it is even more harmful to people surrounding us. So, maybe before having another cigarette every single smoker should wait for a moment and think about consequences of smoking, ask himself a question “Is that cigarette more important than my health?”

Infidelity


Cheating. Nobody wants to be cheated. Affairs can destroy not only relationship – they can also destroy whole family and whole life. Lots of betrayed people have mental problems, depression, melancholy, sometimes they can’t trust anyone and in fact they can’t build new relationship and be happy in the future. Why then nowadays cheating is getting more and more popular?

Survey results says that on the question “have u ever been betrayed by someone close to you?” 94% inquired answered “yes”. This result is surprising high, therefore second question what we want to ask is “why”? Why people betraying each other so easily. I suppose that when we would ask cheater if they wanted to hurt partner, they would answer “no”. Complicated? Not really. Cheaters usually don’t thinking about betrayal like about thing which will hurt person close to them. Most of them are behave really selfish. They just thinking about themselves, wants to have everything – loving family, decent wife and … mistress with who they can’t forget about daily problems. It sounds idyllic but it isn’t. Every single mature person should know that love shouldn’t be selfish, relationship is not only pleasure. Relationship means love, respect but also responsibilities, problems and compromise. Some people can’t take that responsibility on themselves and, when problems are coming, they are looking for another person, mistress or lover, to forget about everything and have fun. That kind of people shouldn’t be in relationships. Their immaturity and selfishness could hurt their partner or in the worst case – destroy whole family. Interesting thing is that – most of people who cheating, expect from partner sincerity. They are hypocrites, most of them never forgive betrayal. They are cheating but they don’t want to be cheated. Why? Because every single cheater is a human as well, and like every single human have heart and feelings. That’s sad then they are not thinking how much cheated person suffer from betrayal, and how easy sometimes they hurt person close to them.

Alcohol – best friend or silent killer?


Is alcohol our best friend or just silent killer? How is it influence in our life’s? Is it make us more healthy and happy or maybe is an origin of variety of social and health problems? Answers for that questions are really simple – alcohol is not our friend, and doesn’t make any positive things in our life’s.

In teenage press and on the Internet we can find loads of stories and myths about alcohol. On one website popular among the teenagers  we can read: “Beer treats kidneys”, “Alcohol makes us relaxed and calm”, “After drink sex might be much better”. All this sentences are myths and we shouldn’t believe in that. Beer doesn’t treat kidneys, alcohol makes us relaxed only for a little while and disturbs sexual functions. But sometimes, reading and believing in these slogans, teenagers are making mistakes, which they regret whole life. Alcohol can spoil everybody’s life. Rapes in the clubs are getting more and more popular. Why? One of the main reason is that drunk teenagers can’t control themselves and this can be the beginning of tragedy. Who was fault? A drunk boy who couldn’t control his sexual drive or a drunk girl who didn’t even know what’s going on? It isn’t correct answer, but after alcohol it’s not difficult to hurt someone. Every single year thousands of people are dying in car accidents, the reason of lots of them are the same – a drivers under the influence of alcohol. Many people after drinking glass of wine or bottle of beer think “I’m not drunk, I can drive”. They can’t even imagine how dangerous they are not only to themselves – but also to another people on the roads. We can also observe bad influence of alcohol in social life. Alcohol is the origin of aggression, unemployment and pathology in millions of families. That situation makes that loads of children from that families have emotional problems, and in the future can’t build normal relationship, and sometimes they are addicted to alcohol like their parents.

Alcohol is really dangerous for our and our relatives life’s and heath. After drinking we can’t control ourselves and because of that we can spoil our or somebody’s life.  What’s the advantages from drinking alcohol? It isn’t any advantage!
