An Anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe.
He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that "who ever got there first won the sweet fruits"
When he told the to run they are took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats.
When he ask them "why they had ran like that ? As one could have had all the fruits for him self ?"
They said : "how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad ?" "UBUNTU" (in the Xhosa Culture it's means "I am because We are")
That one time I realized confused, non-Japanese people make riceballs with vinegary SUSHI RICE which is a big no-no so i made an entire tutorial on how to prepare them ft an OC
I mean… you do you but it’d be like making chicken noodle soup with beef-stock instead of chicken
Hmmm, baiknya
i learned about the Seiryu Miharashi station in Japan, a train station with no entrances or exits, no roads or paths to connect it, all it serves is a platform for the train passengers to step out and admire the valley (x)
Nakano Takeko - The swan song of samurai warrior women
In 1868, Japan was facing drastic political changes. The arrival of American ships in 1853 forced a country who had been closed to foreigners for the last two centuries to open. This led a to movement of distrust toward the Tokugawa shogunate and culminated in the restoration of the emperor’s power.
Some clans and domains didn’t accept this situation and stayed loyal to the shogunate. Such was the case with the Matsudaira of Aizu. In autumn 1868, Aizu came under attack by the imperial troops. Aizu was a conservative domain, its warriors strictly followed the samurai traditions. The women were trained with the naginata and to knew how to use a dagger for ritual suicide or self-defense.
When the imperial troops arrived, some women decided to commit suicide, taking with them their children or elderly relatives to avoid being a burden for the defenders or fearing capture. A woman named Kawahara Asako beheaded her daughter and stepmother before taking her naginata to fight against the invaders. She survived her first sortie and was ultimately forced to withdraw to the castle.
Other women decided to fight, and one of them was Nakano Takeko (1847-1868). Takeko was 22 when the battle began. The daughter of an Aizu councilor, she excelled in martial arts, poetry and calligraphy. On October 8, the alarm bell rang as the enemy managed to enter the town. Takeko immediately joined, with her mother, Kôko, and her 16 years old sister Masako (also sometimes called Yûko), a group made of men and women to fight the intruders.
The defenders, however, decided to close the castle gates and the three women found themselves blocked outside. They decided to join the outpost were the Aizu soldiers were stationed and were joined on the way by other women. Each of them had decided to cut their hair like a male samurai. They wore a white headband and a hakama. They had two swords at their belts and were armed with a naginata.
Between 20 and 30 women ultimately joined was later called the joshigun or “women’s unit”. Takeko went to the leader of a squad of Aizu soldiers and asked to be allowed to fight. He refused at first, arguing that if the enemy saw women among the Aizu soldiers, they would think that the domain was on the verge of defeat. Takeko then threatened to commit suicide if she wasn’t allowed to fight. She and the other women were placed under commander Furuya who ultimately accepted their demand.
The next day, the Aizu forces and the joshigun, attacked the imperial troops at Yanagi bridge, hoping to break through and go back to the castle. The women were unafraid, even if they had to charge at men equipped with firearms. When the enemies saw that they were women, they gave at first the order to capture them alive.
Takeko killed 5 or 6 men with her naginata, but was shot in the head and/or in the heart and died. Her younger sister didn’t want Takeko’s head to be taken by the enemy as a trophy. She thus tried to cut it, but couldn’t do it and asked an Aizu soldier for help. Masako managed to bring her sister’s head to Hokkai-ji temple where it was buried.
On October 13, the surviving women arrived to the castle with Hirata Kochô as their leader. They kept fighting and force some of them participated in the defense as sharpshooters.
Masako was among the members of the joshigun who survived the castle’s fall. She went afterward went to Hakkodate, Hokkaido.
Today, Takeko’s naginata is kept at Hokkai-ji. A statue as been erected in her honor in the town of Aizu. Each year, young women play the role of the jôshigun at the Aizu festival.
Takeko’s death poem, that she had tied to her naginata, was:
“I would not dare to count myself among all the famous warriors - even though I share the same brave heart”.
She was among the last samurai warrior women. Women took arms during the 1877 Satsuma rebellion to prevent the samurai status’ and privileges from being abolished, but to no avail.

Percis jam segini 6.03am, gw bangun tidur rapihin tempat gw tidur, ke kamarmandi cucimuka, gosok gigi, seisi dapur sibuk, tante gw sebagian ada yg gulungin pastel, sebagian isihin pastel dan nene gw sibuk sana sini, ngurus gorengan pastel, siapin nasi uduk, telor balado, bihun goreng..itu semua tercium tajam di hidung gw..hmm, bosen, gabetah, rasa udara penuh minyak goreng.
"It, tu susu ama telor ayamkampung setengah mateng, di abisin mumpung masih panas, klo da dingin gaenak..aco cepetan" itu mama gw, klo dia ada di ruma nene, klo gada palingan nene gw siapin teh manis panas di teko ama pastel.
Tu pagi gw keluar coba cari pemandangan pagi, hirup udara seger, kakek gw sibuk nyiram tanaman, pa danu sibuk bersihin kandang burung nya, mbi sibuk nyapu dedaunan, gada anak pantaran gw tu pagi, masing pada tidur mungkin, atau gw ga nyari.
Mulai keluar gang 5, gang 6, gang 7 sampai di jebatan, gw duduk di situ, air, pepohonan rindang, udara terasa seger, langit cerah, matahari belom terlalu bersinar..hmm..indah
Tiba tiba gw liat ke arah rumah itu, mereka sibuk bersiap pergi, jalan jalan keluarga mungkin, sekejap gw terdiam berpikir
"eh, enak ya kalo masih ada mama sama papa, mungkin kita jalan jalan hari minggu ini, pergi ke pegunungan atau lautan atau kebon binatang, kemanapun lah, yang pasti kita jalan jalan mungkin, karena ada papa"
Kembali lagi mata gw tertuju ke langit..hmm..indah..
Hanya itu milik gw, hanya itu milik gw mutlak, hanya itu hak gw, hanya itu bahagia gw, hanya itu harta gw..Langit, Awan dan Bintang dimalam..Terima Kasih..itu indah
Why ??
• Looked me ?..
• I don't had any arm and no leg then no butts
• what happens when we get at homes, I can't touch your penis's and there's no vagina to feed yours, no butt hole to play for you.. that's why
Owh shit.. that's sucks..
The Cave of Beasts
The Cave of Beasts aka Mestikawi-Foggini Cave aka Foggini Cave aka Cave Wada Sura II is a natural rock shelter in the Egyptian part of the Libyan Desert. It is over 7000 years old and home to approximately 5000 Neolithic cave paintings.
Location and Discovery
The cave in question is located in an abandoned range of territory at the foot of the Gilf Kebir mountains, near Egypt’s border between Libya and Sudan, in one of the most arid regions of the Sahara desert.
Despite the age of the paintings, the cave’s discovery is relatively new, having only been found in 2002 by Archaeologists Massimo Foggini, Jacopo Foggine, and Ahmed Mestikawi. Though being in such a remote location, the relative newness of the discovery simultaneously comes as no surprise.
Despite its present-day aridity, 7000 years ago the cave was at the foot of a large lake, and the Sahara was humid and rich with plant and animal life. This would likely explain why our ancestors took up residence in the cave. But 6000 years ago, the climate changed, and became arid, depopulating the entire area and forming the desert we know today.
Depictions and Description
As with many cave paintings, this one prominently features abstract representation of animals and humans across a variety of different rituals; some day-to-day, such as hunting, some more mythic, such as slaying decidedly unreal creatures. But as the name implies, the cave predominantly depicts a variety of animals and creatures and human interaction with those creatures.
Several of the beats are seen eating humans whole, for example. While others are more naturalistic depictions of creatures we know to have existed and still exist, such as elephants, ostriches, gazelles, and giraffes.
The depictions of humans are not without noting, however. Many are dancing or floating, some are so abstract that they can only be considered “human like.” And the giant golden human shape looming over a series of smaller human shapes as they run away is more than a little curious. Without context it’s hard to say what this latter painting is truly about, but where some would assert it’s the preservation of an ancestral creation myth, others might claim it was a mythic beast that haunted our progenitors days.
The cave features many hand prints as well, made in relief by painting over a hand laid flat against the cave wall. But recently, February of this year, in fact, National Geographic made a claim that some of the hand prints were done by using lizard feet, such as those from monitor lizards, not exclusively human hands.

Saat lo merasa bahwa dunia lo telah di rusak oleh manusia bodoh yang seharusnya gada di situ, tinggalin aja trus bikin dunia lo yang baru, dan kali ini pastikan jangan sampe ada lagi orang tolol masuk atau hinggap di dunia baru lo ini.
Buat dunia baru yang lebih indah daripada dunia lo yang sebelum nya, dunia dimana hanya ada lo dan kebahagiaan lo.
Trus gw akan hanya jalan dengan tatapan kosong tanpa hiraukan sekitar, pura-pura galiat orang, karna pada dasarnya gw udah muak akan palsu "hah tai..eh tai"
Trus, kek gini gw jadinya "hiii(senyum palsu, bis itu nekuk lagi bibirnye kek "ih gembel")"
Trus, gw jalan layaknya serdadu, tegap siap hantam dan tembak "ape lo!!! Tol kuda"(jerrr kesel bet gw ye, pen bikin dosa bawaannye..buk...boy neraka penuh kalo lo jahat, tapi bro die lebi biadab daripada gw, sabar..ih kek lagu iwan pales aj)
Trus, mati dah segala hal kebaikan nurani gw, rasa kemanusiaan gw, rasa berbagi pengetahuan gw..mati tu dah?? (Liat tu..dosa lo, liat tu dampak nya ke gw).
Ya, yang terjadi biarlah terjadi (ih mirip lagunye si aril, males gw nyanyiin nye..ga fans)
Ok..gw mulai bentuk ni dunia baru gw..buled, trus gerbang masuknye pake hordeng putih, pas di buka isinye "burung beterbangan, rumput hijau terhampar luas, pepohonan dengan buah yang hmmm poon ape ye....apel, trus..wah pokoknye indah, gw seneng, jan ganggu gw..tai lo..ludain miskin lo.
Benernye sih aneh aje gitu sendirian, cuma "pada dasarnya kita itu sendiri" keras, tapi..gw uda biasa gini
Saat lo merasa putus asa, menyerah, runtuh atau down atas segala sesuatu yang ga sesuai harapan lo.. tarik napas, tenang sejenak sambil nyemil tempe, trus pikir dan liat jauh sebelumnya
"sejauh ini gw pergi dan berusaha, apalah kata ga sesuai rencana, setidaknya gw mencoba dan gaberhasil tapi gw mencoba"
di titik itu lo temuin satu hal "ok gakapok gw, mungkin suatusaat...milik gw" Optimis bukan Optimus dan bukan Timus maupun TIMUN
Apa ada yang tau maksud gw apa ?? Niat motivasi tapi radabinggung di tengah nye..hehe..manusia pake...tolol
Pokok nya "itu"

"5:00 Sore"
Angin berhembus di sore hari, mengangkat butiran debu pasir dan serpihan dedaunan, melewati pandangan 3 meter lebih antara gw yang terduduk disini, dan dia di sana yang
"gatau lagi ngapain dia ? Menebar pesona mungkin..ahahahaha PD gw".
Mata ini malu malu curi pandang ke arah dia, takut dia kabur dan gw juga malu kalo ketauan. Hati berbisik penuh lirih di tiap kagum mata memandang
"hmm, gw ini siapa ? Gw ini apa ? Apa yang membuat gw menjadi sebuah pilihan bagi dia ? Gada..gada..beneran gada"
Dunia gw dan dia serasa ada kaca tebal yang membatasi gw tuk meraih dia jadi milik gw. Gw cuma bisa tersenyum tolol tanpa bisa berkata jujur
"eh.. liat nih, hati gw ada lonya lho..hiiii"
Gw ini mirip sendal jepit 10 rebuan yang putus pun masih bisa di benerin pake peniti trus kaya gada apa apa gitu, eh orang susah dasar. Disakitin pun gw masing berdiri senyum gitu, karena gw ngarep dan gw cinta mati tapi gabisa
"ah cukup ini mustahil, gw mundur"
eh umur keputusan cuman 2 jam paling lama, trus gila lagi deh.... Kasian ya tu manusia, kata para jin yg liatin sambil ketawain "goblok..goblok..goblok"
Gw coba tarik pandangan lirih ini lurus kedepan matahari yang sebentar lagi jam 5:40pm
"eh da mo Maghrib ni"
Trus tertunduk pandangan kebawah
"hmmmm..hmmmm..hmmm, sakit ya rasa ini, kok tega sih tuhan kasih rasa ini buat gw, maksud nya apa coba ?"
Coba menoleh lagi ke arah dia tadi berada
"dah gada, mo Maghrib soalnya, ok gw juga balik brarti..P jumpa lagi besok sore cw gw banget"
Dia mungkin sadar..
Kalo gw tiap sore disitu liatin dia..
Soalnya, tiap sore dia juga muncul di situ buat kasi liat gw...dia di situ gw di sana...

"Mimpi itu terlalu indah ya Allah"
Gw temui diri lo ada di depan gw...tersenyum indah, gada yang lebih indah selain kehadiran lo di depan gw.
Tanpa kata kita berhadapan, gw cuma liat senyum manis lo yang jelas itu hanya buat gw.
Hati gw senang dan damai, seakan "gw pulang..di hadapan lo"
Sebuah hadiah yang luar biasa...diri lo..hadir di depan gw, dengan senyum itu..
3am ke 6am, mereka hanya terasa 10menit.
Gw terbangun dengan rasa sedih, marah dan sakit yang meriris hati.
"Apa maunya tuhan, kasih gw mimpi ini ??"
"Kenapa tuhan suka permainkan rasa ini ??"
"Mimpi itu terasa indah dan nyata sekeinginan gw"
Duduk di atas tempat tidur gw, melamun perih...kenapa??
Gw ga pernah minta ini..kalo memang bukan milik gw, kenapa ini??
"Dikasih rasa tapi ga dikasih memiliki" apa itu??? Sebuah rencana???
Gw ga suka itu...sakit...perih...merasa berdosa, salah apa gw?? Dimana kesalahan gw?? Apa maunya??
