This makes me Sad

I am trying to describe why I am posting this, but it doesn't work.

But questions that come to me when I search this site are:
- Why do people make these pictures ?
- Is it somebody who put them on the web to seak publicity or want to shock with the disturbing titles. While the pictures where taken for an entirely different purposes ? (this is what I suspect) - Who would be so sick to show these pictures and think up of those titles.
- Makes me want to creep in people their minds, to understand them.

Ramadan 2005

See: http://www.submission.org/about-R.html

Ramadan starts on the fouth of oktober, and lasts untill november third.

The first time I tried to keep to Ramadan, was at high school, when I was 17. Since then I tried to do it every year. I never succeeded in doing the whole month. Last year I kept to it for two weeks, which I think was the longest period until now. This year I will try again.

I am not a muslim. Fasting during Ramadan is a personal thing, which I do not share with others. I do it because I think it is good to be aware of everything we find so normal in life. Amongst others: eating whenever you want. Maybe this year I will add to it, just to eat vegetarian, like the christians do during their fasting period.

The fasting period on the fourth of october will be from
sun up: 07.53 to
sun down: 19.19

Hindu Wisdom

Inwardly be free of all hopes and desires, but outwardly do what needs to be done. Without hopes in your heart, live as if you were full of hopes. Live with your heart now cool and now warm, just like everyone else. Inwardly give up the idea "I am the doer," yet outwardly engage in all activities. This is how to live in the world, completely free from the least trace of ego.
