Wishes

Dance like no one is watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like no one is listening,
Live like it’s heaven on earth.

    I couldn't agree more even though I am aware that no human need is more human than the need of a witness/Mitwisser who understands. He mustn't necessarily comprehend and aprove, but he should understand.

    "Live like it's heaven on earth" is the most important admonishment of the four and the one which needs more strength of will and sense of responsability even than the 2. admonishment. Oh, shame on me. I should have called the admonishments, incouragement and not admonishment.

    1. Be careful with self-fullfilment. It is important and has to be treated as well as a very good horse, but it has also to be bit like a Crazy Horse, and it is a fairytale that horses do never get crazy if coddled by the rider. In the last 40 years a lot of harm has be done in the name or shadow of self-fulfillment.

    2. Read Erich Fromm's book "Escape from Freedom" ("Die Furcht vor der Freiheit"). It is Fromm's best book. He is judging very harshly Luther of Wittenberg and Paulus of Tarsos in the name of self-fulfillment, and what he says on Luther and Paulus is even right. But his avaluation and judgemente of them is wrong. So clear up your ideas on Luther and self-fulfillment. Never forgetting that Fromm is a dwarf compared to Luther or Paulus (the proportion is more or less this).

    Really wonderful lines. Melody-calling words... I hope soon you will let us know the rest. Or is it part of something already published? I would like to read it.
