What man is a man who does not make the world better?



By the word "religion", I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the "will of God". Holiness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. And goodness what God desires is here and here. By what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man or not.
"Din" kelimesi bana sadece bir sürü bağnaz fanatiğin yaptığı çılgınlıkları ve sonra, bunu "Tanrının isteği" olarak adlandırmalarını hatırlatıyor. Kutsallık, yaptığın doğru işlerdedir ve yiğitlik ise, kendini koruyamayanların yanında olmaktır. Ve erdem Tanrının arzusu, burada ve buradadır. Her geçen gün, yaptığın işler sonucunda, ya iyi adam olursun ya da kötü.

Your holy places lie over the Jewish temple that the Romans pulled down. The Muslim places of worship lie over yours. Which is more holy? The wall? The mosque? The sepulchre? Who has claim? No one has claim. All have claim. We defend this city, not to protect these stones, but the people living within these walls.
Sizin kutsal yerleriniz, Romalıların yerle bir ettiği yahudi tapınaklarının üzerine kurulu.
Müslümanların ibadet yerleriyse, sizinkinin üzerinde. Hangisi daha kutsal? Ağlama duvarı mı?
Cami mi? İsa'nın mezarı mı? Kim hak iddia ediyor? Kimse etmiyor. Herkes ediyor. Bu şehri savunacağız, ama bu taş duvarlar için değil, içinde yaşayan insanlar için.

A king may move a man. A father may claim a son. But remember that, even when those who move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say, "But I was told by others to do thus", or "that virtue was not convenient at the time". This will not suffice. Remember that.
Bir Kral, insanları gayrete getirebilir. Bir baba oğlundan taleplerde bulunabilir. Fakat unutma ki, sana tesir edenler Kral da olsa, güç sahibi insanlar da olsa ruhunu içinde yaşayan, insanın kendisidir. Allahın huzuruna çıktığında "Ama bana öyle emretmişlerdi" ya da "Ama şartlar o dönemde müsait değildi" diyemezsin. Bunlar yeterli olmaz. Bunu unutma.

Summer loving had me a blast
Summer loving happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting a way to oh oh the summer night
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?
She swam by me she got a cramp
He ran by me got my suit damp
I saved her life she nearly drown
He showed off splashing around
Summer sun somethings begun but oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put up a fight?
Took her bowling in the Arcade
We went strolling drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed out until ten o'clock
Summer fling don't mean a thing, but uh oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more,
That you don't got her preg
Tell me more, tell me more,
Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly, holding my hand
Well she got friendly, down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen
Well she was good, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but uh oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more,
How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more,
Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams but oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more...

Anadolu halkının bir ruhu vardı, nüfuz edemedin.
Bir kafası vardı, aydınlatamadın.
Bir vücudu vardı, işleyemedin.
O, katı toprakla kuru göğün arasında bir yabani ot gibi bitti.
Şimdi elinde tırpan, buraya hasata gelmişsin.
Ne ektin ki ne biçeceksin?
Sana ıstırap veren herşey senin eserin.

[Corpse Bride] Tears to Shed

........
Corpse Bride
If I touch a burning candle I can feel the pain
If you cut me with a knife it's still the same
And I know her heart is beating
And I know that I am dead
Yet the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
For it seems that I still have a tear to shed
........
Corpse Bride
If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain
In the ice or in the wun it's all the same
Yet I feel my heart is acheing
Though it doesn't beat it's breaking
And the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
I know that I am dead
Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shed
........
