see dali48 and "I think - therefore I am" etc. (Descartes), see The motto "I buy, so I am" (M. Fox)
"As long as humans think that animals do not feel, animals must feel that humans do not think." " - author unknown
see dali48 and nearly being touched by a low flying swift at lake Unterbacher near Erkrath, 8/1983 till 5/2010
Each day is our whole life - from sunrise to sunset etc… (dali48) 
see dali48 and "Zen finds religion in the daily activities." (I-tuan), see Does Zen believe in a soul? - However, the Buddha taught that there are no such things as a permanent Self or Soul which can be reincarnated or reborn after death (Rahula, 1974: page 3). The Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh believes there is no reincarnation in Buddhism (Miller, 2012).
see What is a Zen spirit? - Zen is defined as a state of calm where actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort. The term comes from the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese word Chan – with roots to the Indian practice of thinking and meditating known as Dhyana.
see What is the psychology of Zen? - Zen is experiential, not didactic. Enlightenment relies heavily on intuition, metaphor, and poetry. The master can point in the general direction toward wisdom, but each person must find their own personal path.19.03.2022
see Is Zen ok for Christians? - Because they are not on the same plane, Zen and Christianity do not conflict. Graham in his book, Zen Catholicism also points out that there is no harm in applying Zen insights into Catholicism.
see Does Zen believe in afterlife? - In Zen, Life and Death are one, a continuum, and they are not separated and there is no dividing line between them (as, indeed, there is actually no dividing line between anything, there only seems to be – divisions are arbitrary and made to enable us to function in the finite world, what Zen calls 'the world of form') ...10.03.2014
see How does Zen affect life? - Zen meditation reduces stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and deep-breathing techniques. It helps people to manage their emotions, gain clarity of mind and experience deep peace and emotional well-being. The practice halts constant intrusive thoughts.09.05.2024
see What makes a person Zen? - They don't let stress, anger, or frustration get the better of them. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, the word “zen” refers to a person's ability to remain calm and relaxed in the face of difficulties and not worry about things out of their control.27.02.2021
see Is Zen good for Mental Health? - Meditation and mindfulness practices like Zen Therapy have also been shown to have a variety of other positive effects, both mentally and physically, such as promoting feelings of calmness, improving sleep and immune function, reducing feelings of stress and increasing self-awareness.09.11.2022
Let go of something you like, and realize how fleeting it is by living without it... (Ayya Khema) 
What is the Buddhist quote about pain? - A quote usually attributed to Buddha says, “Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.” What a profound statement! There is no suffering if you can let go. Pain becomes immaterial in the absence of suffering.29.01.2012
Buddha realized that all living beings suffer because they desire and cling ... - Peace is an inner attitude to life that consists of letting go and renunciation (see e.g. nuns & monks etc. - d.48) ... (Buddha) 
Das Leben im Daseinskreislauf ist leidvoll: Geburt ist Leiden, Altern ist Leiden, Krankheit ist Leiden, Tod ist Leiden; Kummer, Lamentieren, Schmerz und Verzweiflung sind Leiden." (Buddha)

The Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground on Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound, Alaska, on March 24, 1989, spilling an estimated 11 million gallons of crude oil. The spill caused significant environmental damage, impacting over 1,300 miles of shoreline and killing vast numbers of animals. 
The grounding occurred at 12:04 am, and the spill spread rapidly, impacting wildlife and local communities. The spill's effects included the contamination of shorelines, the death of numerous seabirds, sea otters, seals, and bald eagles, as well as potential long-term damage to fish and other marine life populations. 
The incident led to increased regulations for oil tankers and sparked public awareness about the potential dangers of oil spills. It also resulted in extensive legal battles and financial settlements involving Exxon. 

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was an environmental disaster beginning 20 April 2010 off the coast of the United States in the Gulf of Mexico

Is there still oil in the Gulf of Mexico? - Offshore oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico is a major source of oil and natural gas in the United States. The western and central Gulf of Mexico, which includes offshore Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, is one of the major petroleum-producing areas of the United States.
Has the Gulf of Mexico recovered? - The only natural remediation process for many areas is the continuous rain of new sediment that will gradually bury the contaminated layer. Montagna estimates it could take 50 years for the northern gulf's deep-sea ecosystem to fully recover.21.04.2025
Is there a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico? - And there are hundreds of dead zones in coastal waters around the world. The Gulf of Mexico's dead zone is one of the largest. What's harming all that ocean life? Unfortunately, without meaning to, we all are.

Die Figur des Faust, insbesondere in Goethes Werk, wird oft als Repräsentation des modernen Menschen gesehen, der nach Wissen, Macht und Erfüllung strebt, oft über die Grenzen des menschlich Möglichen hinaus. Dieser Drang nach grenzenloser Erweiterung und Selbstüberschreitung ist ein Merkmal, das auch im modernen Menschen wiederzufinden ist. 
Goethes Faust ist ein vielschichtiger Charakter, der die Ambivalenz des modernen Menschen verkörpert. Einerseits ist er von einem unstillbaren Wissensdurst getrieben, andererseits von der Sehnsucht nach sinnlicher Erfahrung und Erfüllung. Er schließt einen Pakt mit dem Teufel, um seine Begierden zu befriedigen, was zu einem Leben voller Höhen und Tiefen führt, aber letztendlich nicht zu wahrer Zufriedenheit. 
Parallelen zwischen Faust und dem modernen Menschen:
Wissensdurst und Streben nach Fortschritt:
Der moderne Mensch ist oft von einem unaufhaltsamen Drang nach Wissen, Innovation und Fortschritt geprägt, ähnlich wie Faust, der sich der Wissenschaft und Magie zuwendet, um seine Grenzen zu überschreiten. 
Grenzenlosigkeit und Selbstüberschreitung:
Sowohl Faust als auch der moderne Mensch sind oft bestrebt, ihre eigenen Grenzen zu überwinden und neue Horizonte zu erschließen, sei es im Bereich der Wissenschaft, Technologie oder der persönlichen Entwicklung. 
Unzufriedenheit und Streben nach mehr:
Trotz aller Erfolge und Errungenschaften bleibt oft eine innere Unzufriedenheit bestehen, ein Gefühl, dass noch mehr möglich sein müsste. Faust ringt mit dieser Frage und sucht nach Erfüllung in verschiedenen Lebensbereichen. 
Konflikt zwischen Vernunft und Emotion:
Faust ringt mit den Widersprüchen zwischen seiner rationalen Seite und seinen emotionalen Bedürfnissen, ein Konflikt, der auch im modernen Menschen oft präsent ist. 
Die Rolle der Technologie:
Die moderne Technologie kann als eine Art moderner Pakt mit dem Teufel gesehen werden, der uns zwar neue Möglichkeiten eröffnet, aber auch neue Herausforderungen und Risiken birgt. Fausts Pakt mit Mephisto spiegelt diese Ambivalenz wider. 
Aktualität von Faust:
Goethes Faust ist auch heute noch relevant, weil er grundlegende Fragen der menschlichen Existenz anspricht, die zeitlos sind. Die Themen Wissen, Macht, Begierde, Schuld und Erlösung sind auch in der heutigen Gesellschaft von großer Bedeutung. Fausts Suche nach Sinn und Erfüllung ist eine Suche, die viele Menschen auch heute noch umtreibt. 
Die Figur des Faust erinnert uns daran, dass der Mensch nicht nur ein rationales Wesen ist, sondern auch von seinen Emotionen, Begierden und Sehnsüchten getrieben wird. Es ist wichtig, diese Aspekte des Menschseins zu erkennen und zu reflektieren, um ein erfülltes und sinnvolles Leben zu führen. 

Golden Snow "I cry along with Mother nature seeing the mess our world is becoming dali48 ... I read: "It could take years or even decades, before a recovering of the system ... I can tell you there is much we do not know ... a small near where I live is still cleaning up truck loads of oil which was poured into underground, oil tanks that had been leaking for years ..."
