Havis Amanda?

 Today, like usual in celebrating the eve of 1st of May, the atmosphere has not been good. In Helsinki tens of thousand celebrate when some studemt union actives give a big career hat to the statue of Havis Amanda. It is commonly discussed whether Havis Amanda has gone to school at all, and are her virtues good for such a position. So it came to my mind suggest this one short link to a blog of mine: https://quickerlearning.blogspot.com/2024/11/if-one-would-need-schools-benefical.html 


I copy it here: 

"   "If one would need school's benefical effect again, what in it was essential to remember 

   Always wish well for the world, for the living kind, and keep that always as major goal in everything, in doing things, deciding anything and in living your life, including all social contacts, things said, etc. Follow common sense, especially healthy basic common sense. Be fair toward all individuals, groups, ( things, goals, etc. ) (Healthy) wisdom of life. Value good quality.  " 


7th of February 2025   The traditional problem has been that of life possibilities disappearing because of having chosen some maybe personally liked alternatives for major life choices, but in the above advice the moral seeks to quarantee also that one would suit also to going to places, associating with other groups etc, since the values make the choices suit them too. 

"

Who is the forefigure of each

 In the news quite often the reason of someone being accused of some crime or some error, is that the accused does not have such fault, and someone picks him/her guessing that others then would copy her/him. But people do not copy the opposite end of tge spectrum, than what they themselves are. So if one wants people to learn away from their faults, one should have people halfway between the error and the average, or the average or like themselves, since such would serve as forefigures. Or tell of the grounds for such, and so would people themselves learn. 

Of the eve of the 1st of May

  "  The 1st of May celebration is meant to be a celebration of spring in the nature. But it goes ashtray when some want students to celebrate an entirely man-made version of spring time happening. And nature too celebrates more when all notice that it is the spring, i.e. 1st of May instead of the last of April. " 

1st of May 2026   This year the unlucky influencies came already one day earlier than usually. And kn yesterday news it was told that it was the 80's birthday of the king of Sweden. If one thinks of tgst as a posskble influence each year, the influencies from the Swedish speaking seem to be like that with stomach ache, which results from the Swedish speaking culture's life choices. The Swedish speaking could fix some of it by eating a slice of light bread, maybe margarin on top of it, and on top of that a slice of "graavilohi" (a slice of salted? raw lax fish), plus a leaf of leaf sallad, and in addition strawberry milkshake. This impression gets explained by Swedish speaking trying to do things finely, having found their way to Sweden because of that temptation.

Jack London's The Call Of The Wild

 Today's news had pictures of maltreated sledge dogs. Especially the first of them brought to my mind Jack London's book Call of the wild, the behinning in it. But again the book had seemed to teach weather skills and needed skills for life, not the fights primarily, but knstead many things to take seriously as needed for life. The book told of situatilns in which the dog needed to re-estimate dangers and needed skills for lufe, yet not giving up othrr skills  values, etc.

40 years from nuclear power plant accident at Tsernobyl in Sovjet Union

 In the news there is told of the nuclear power plant accident at Tsernobyl spring 1986. The view then and now from the old news tell of an engineering style view of the 1970's. So it isn't any wonder such fuss and misjudgements not bringing things well and wisely. To an engineering view one ought to add the wisdom of other school subjects, which create basic picture of the world and basic skills, even if it means studying them afterwards as an adult. 

Being with different areas of life, and especially with wisdom, can bring answers which engineering oriented view does not solve. For example philosophy can teach one good quality thinking in harmony with wisdom of life. Likewise some learn from the nature, of art, of wisdom of life, and reading of the wisdom of others. 


The sympthoms of radiation illness remind me of what one feels like if one tries to build one's life upon what engineers or physicists understsnd based on their professional education about how to behave in questions of radiaton exposure. Because their education is about physics describing the world, and not about wider sphere of life. So such creates like a wobbling feeling, and like womitting, and maybe fear of looking causing dimmed eyesight, and the attempt to trust civiliced wisdom by trusting encineers, when such teally is not wise, maybe brings cancer.  

In the 1980's when came the news of the nuclear power plant accident at Tsernobyl, the major emphazis was not in that but instead people thought of, had Sovjet Union been destroyed in nuclear war, been blown at least tens of places there. We just needed to be told of the Sovjet having ceased to be some party in the world. And we too get some radiation from it. 

But it can be that the Sovjets did not know what to do with it, so they were quite silent and thought that better let others form their opinions, at least the children going to school, since as young people adopt new things quicker.

Tom Jones : She's a lady

 The song seems to be carried by insight. Is it paying attentiln to some existing widely noticed good sides, but phrazing it in a fascinating way, kind of overdoing but not mentioning it in a too rigid form. See https://m.youtube.com/shorts/L8BR7ycW6mY 



Stolen reindeers

 In the news it was told that thefts of reindeer are often difficult to notice in time. The thefts were done by altering the marks which tell who is the owner of each reindeer.

Why, oh why?

 In the news it was told that the longest bridge in Finland is now in Helsinki, Kruunuvuorensilta, which seems to go from nowhere to nowhere, and spoils the scenery totally. Why so? Maybe it is from the center to the university in Viikki, build because the university is wanted to the center, and so when the university wanted to continue in Viikki and Vallila, those areas were wanted to inside good travel connections from the center of Helsinki and the capital district. But so it means that if the university would want a fine oldfashioned environment of trees, old houses, fine houses and high culture with parks etc, that too could be possible, wise answers possible. Interiors wisely too, and not without old wise things to look at. And likewise old liked market place etc also kept up. 




People in Helsinki, and maybe academical people at large, are not good at making things work out in practice, if it is something like handiworks or like buying or making social estimates different for each. It maybe helps to think that things bought from shops are made as handiworks, and also the handicraft maker needs to buy the materials. If one goes to a shop withour rigid plans, one should look at the styles of things to buy, since the user friendliness features are coded in colour symbolics and social styles of large groups of customers, like fir example blue for those who want things like young men's lives, or something like that, but I do not know for sure. Then if one does out of hobby like interest, the next time some material may bring new ideas, practical solution possibilities from what the shop had in store. That is different from having ideals to choose from, but on the other hand, the products maybe are made by skilled even dedicated people. 

I used to visit the Buddhist meditation evening at the Friends of Western Buddhist order. Some time later I heard that it had changed it's name to Triratna, which is an awful error. Maybe they tried to follow advices in the Finnish academical style. They would have picked good will, in Buddhism that means Metta. Helsingin buddhalainen yhdistys Metta ry, Buddhalainen yhdistys Metta ry? 

Of the big white catedral in the center of Helsinki, it is said that wonder at the skills and local natural views of those who build it. And that is why there is the statue of the Russian szsar in the square by it's side. That must have been in people's mind today, people like kings deciding for such a bridge.
