I would like to live in ancient times, in a dark, cold cave, struck by lightning, afraid of becoming prey to the sounds of animals.

Capitalism and Communism tend to morph into the same thing. Kleptocracies. Neither can seem to stick in the middle ground. Greed and power are the enemies of the people.

I'm not a fan of capitalism, don't get me wrong. But looking at the practice of other alternatives throughout history, what we have is still the "lesser of two evils." Not because it's perfect, but because the others didn't work. A helpless acceptance. 🤷♂️⚖️

The 'It wasn't real communism' argument is getting old. The Russian experiment showed that even the best theories turn into bureaucratic nightmares when human nature gets involved. The bosses changed, but the hierarchy remained. 🚩

The socialist experiment in Russia has once again proven George Orwell right: "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." Although the system has changed, the exploiters have only changed their uniforms.

Those who are struggling now but think they'll be Elon Musk in the future, and those who believe everything will be alright when a revolution happens... I have bad news for you. Disappointment is equally distributed across all ideologies. 🤷♂️💸

If anything ever gets better, I'll definitely say it was a dream; after having nightmares for so long, it'll be like seeing a mirage in the desert.

"Adulthood, it turns out, is nothing more than dreaming as a child about 'when I grow up I'll be able to go to bed whenever I want,' and then, as an adult, praying 'I wish I could go to sleep at 10 PM.' We've been fooled, folks."

They say, "Let the atheists explain this too," but it's always us who have to explain everything. Why don't Buddhists and Jews explain it for a change? It can't always be the atheists!

I have bad news for those who think they will be the billionaires of the future who have been in trouble for a while under capitalism. The same goes for those who expect to benefit from socialism and communism. LOL

"Deus sive Natura" (God is Nature) sounded so romantic until I realized the guy eating a tuna sandwich next to me on the Metro is also a mode of the Divine Substance. Accepting that this chaos is part of the eternal perfection of the universe is my daily geometric proof.

Some say that if you find one on Christmas morning and catch its reflection just right, you’ll see not only the world around you - but also a glimpse of the brighter days to come.
Have a very red winter berry Xmas 😉😊

Come on, photography isn't just about taking pictures of snotty kids, old men, and flowers. Haven't you seen what other people are doing? You have the internet at your fingertips. Do we have to tell you everything? A photographer should be creative...
