Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman. He replies: Who cares about perfection? Even the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters. The sea is incredibly beautiful, but salty and dark in the depths. The sky is always infinite, but often cloudy. So, everything that is beautiful isn't perfect, it's special. Therefore, every woman can be special to someone. Stop being "perfect", but try to be free and live, doing what you love, not wanting to impress others!

I don't know if you are going to believe me, but right there, in that motorhome, in the middle of nothing, close to a beautiful lake, it runs a full Lightning node with my own bank (lnbits). And works beautifully. So well, that I already have several users. And it consumes only 10kb/s of data, and around 5W of energy, more than enough to be supported by my solar panels installed on the roof, and my dirty cheap 4G connection.

Employee

The word employee has its roots in the Latin word implicare, which became implicari, meaning “to be involved in” or ”attached to”.

Over time, the Latin word evolved into the middle English word “imploy”, from the 16th and 17th century, and meant “enfold”, “entangle”, “to entwine” and “imply”, and is compared to the Latin word implicare or_“to implicate”.

A person who is carrying out the action of, or offering employment, is offering you to be implicated with the business in hand, and would be called the “employer”.

If the offer is accepted, then you would be in the “state of being employed”, making you the “employee”.

Once employed, you can now be deployed, meaning “to make use of” or “to bring into effective action”, just as troops or infantry would be.

Note: being employed does not mean you are entitled to payment, it just means you are implicated.

Therefore, if you accept “citizenship” or “civilian-ship”, you are now implicated with a corporation, which can “deploy you”, or “make use of you”.

Meaning you have become a “taxable human resource” to the corporation.

And they have (most of us) by the balls! The minute you open a bank account, you are agreeing that every penny that goes through can be monitored. When you sign a contract for a house you are agreeing to not only paying the rent but also the council tax (and who knows where that money goes). I did hear a story (i don't know how accurate it was) that it is all in the prefix and that if you don't acknowledge one then you are exempt however without one you can't really live a life within society. I could talk about this all day, I won't though!

Tulip festival in istanbul - Tip: April is the best time to come, even Darth knows it!

And fun fact: Tulip is native to Anatolia ( actually, the nomad Turks brought it from Asia ), then brought into Europe during the Ottoman time; But I guess many people would first think of the Netherlands when it comes to Tulip, maybe due to more commercialization or marketing there...but Turk's love for Tulips is uncomparable, you can easily see it in all kinds of arts and crafts, e.g. I learned drawing this Tulip Ebru last year:

also made this bag with a master last year, and then I realized that there is actually no blue tulip in nature, but why?

I find tulips to be incredibly beautiful, and I LOVE the wide variety of colors they come in. The only thing I know about tulips is the Dutch tulip mania. The Dutch tulip bubble was an economic-financial episode that occurred in the Netherlands in the 17th century. It is considered the first known speculative bubble in history. In this case, the asset that became the target of intense speculation was tulips, a highly prized flower that, at that time, became increasingly valued by people.

I love the saying, "you reap what you sow". I tend to find that because of the world we live in, that there are a lot who are just trying to get by, and to look after themselves. What people forget, is that we are all connected. We are all one and not separate beings as some would suggest. Those that we create into our lives are like mirrors, and therefore if we take advantage of that person then the universe will think that that is what we want and give it back to us threefold. Some will call it karma, I say it's getting what we asked for!
