Siddhartha

Listen well, my dear, listen well! The sinner, which I am and which you are, is a sinner, but in times to come he will be Brahma again, he will reach the Nirvana, will be Buddha—and now see: these 'times to come' are a deception, are only a parable! The sinner is not on his way to become a Buddha, he is not in the process of developing, though our capacity for thinking does not know how else to picture these things. No, within the sinner is now and today already the future Buddha, his future is already all there, you have to worship in him, in you, in everyone the Buddha which is coming into being, the possible, the hidden Buddha.g is perfect, everything is Brahman.  The world, my friend Govinda, is not imperfect, or on a slow path towards perfection: no, it is perfect in every moment, all sin already carries the divine forgiveness in itself, all small children already have the old person in themselves, all infants already have death, all dying people the eternal life. It is not possible for any person to see how far another one has already progressed on his path; in the robber and dice-gambler, the Buddha is waiting; in the Brahman, the robber is waiting. In deep meditation, there is the possibility to put time out of existence, to see all life which was, is, and will be as if it was simultaneous, and there everything is good. Therefore, I see whatever exists as good, death is to me like life, sin like holiness, wisdom like foolishness, everything has to be as it is, everything only requires my consent, only my willingness, my loving agreement, to be good for me, to do nothing but work for my benefit, to be unable to ever harm me. I have experienced on my body and on my soul that I needed sin very much, I needed lust, the desire for possessions, vanity, and needed the most shameful despair, in order to learn how to give up all resistance, in order to learn how to love the world, in order to stop comparing it to some world I wished, I imagined, some kind of perfection I had made up, but to leave it as it is and to love it and to enjoy being a part of it.—These, oh Govinda, are some of the thoughts which have come into my mind.
    From the above description of life, i understand and i am motivated that : One life my life is perfect and should be perfect for everybody else living at any moment in it.  The world in which we are living now is perfect at every moment. The universe is our habitat and is full of love of beauty of vanity, but as stated above all sin are forgiving- the sinner, which i am and which you are, is a sinner, but in times to come he will be Brahma again, he will reach the nirvana, will be Buddha.
    Iraq War, Slavery, WWI, WWII, examples of human catastrophic moments were sin in one hand, on the other side, they were sin that has been forgiving, these act has been Brahma the world is perfect once again.
How deep is the power of the Universe. i assort out that knowledge is Right or Wrong. in a society the right of every body should differ not greater than  ten (10) percent.
   Nihilism in Germany, Dada movement, Religion, Buddhaism  are   philosophy discipline. At a point in time, they were created by ancient generation to organize, or govern their society. Somehow, we should not hurt each other. Wealth should be abundant and divided rationally to everyone. Because, there is no sin and all sin are forgiving.

Impressionism, Dadaism, " New Objectivity".

                                         John heartfield (1891-1968).

   Born  with The name Helmut Herzfelde in Berling 1891, is now known as  John Heartfield for fear of political persecution in Germany. Obviously, John  Heartfield  was an enthusiastic and famous artist of the Dadaism  revolution that dominated Most European country in the approach of the first World War I . Grown up as an orphan at the age of seven (7), served  as an apprenticeship bookseller in Wiesbaden 1905-06, before going to Munich to study  Art at the "Kunstgewerbeschule" from 1908 to 1911. After a brief interval as a graphic artist in Mannheim, Helmut Herzfelde returned to Berlin. There he studied once again, at the "Kunst- und Handwerkerschule", until 1914, when the first world war broke out. In 1915-16 he was inducted for active service into the German armed forces. In 1916 Helmut Herzfelde was so incensed at the anti-British feeling in Germany that he protested by changing his name to John Heartfield, using this pseudonym for the rest of his career. That same year, 1916, John Heartfield and his brother founded the Malik Verlag publishing house in Berlin; John Heartfield was responsible for the graphics for its publications. 
    In 1917 John Heartfield became a follower of the Dada movement in Berlin and that same year he joined the German Communist Party (KPD). He met George Grosz, who, like Heartfield, worked for the leftwing satirical publications "Die Pleite" and "Der Knüppel".
From 1924 to 1933 John Heartfield designed illustrations for the "Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung", the Communist Party mouthpiece. 
    John Heartfield developed an experimental approach to the graphic arts. He often worked with photomontage, using the medium to create pictures that made extraordinarily powerful statements. Under the influence of George Grosz, John Heartfield went on from there to develop the political photomontage. From 1920 John Heartfield designed his first stage sets for Erwin Piscator and Max Reinhardt. In 1929 Heartfield contributed photomontages to Kurt Tucholsky's "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles
             These are three examples of arts featuring the elements of Dadaism.



                     I. " Hand has Five Fingers," John Heartfield (born Helmut Herzfeld),  1928
                            II.  "Dada Conquerors," Raoul Hausmann,  1920
                            III. "Trench Warfare," Otto Dix, 1932

     All of these three pictures emphasize artists idea of describing social political condition of the society whose government is loosing control of the welfare of its population, culminating to political anger , disuniting , disorganized, and further more, steps  into the war. "Dada Conquerors,'' Raoul Hausmann, 1920
attempted psychologically to send a  cynicism  message about the conventional society's values especially in Europe. A
n audience, can synthesize  that a message could be : DADA there is revolt in our society; something that can be avoided. For Fact, by the same period, that these Dada arts  manifested, a war collapse in Europe known as the World War I.

    How does one achieve eternal bliss? By saying Dada. How does one become famous? By saying Dada. With a noble gesture and delicate propriety. Till one goes crazy. Till one loses consciousness. How can one get rid of everything that smacks of journalism, worms, everything nice and right, blinkered, moralistic, Europeans, enervated? By saying Dada. Dada is the world soul, Dada is the pawnshop. Dada is the world's best lily-milk soap. Dada Mr Rubiner, Dada Mr Korrodi. Dada Mr Anastasius Lilienstein. In plain language: the hospitality of the Swiss is something to be profoundly appreciated. And in questions of aesthetics the key is quality.   Dada Manifesto (1916, Hugo Ball)

  Information sends to us from this quote converge with Nietzsky philosophy's that " God is dead". the truth about religion differ from science.Where is the place of God to solve the need and social issues of everyone. In Germany,disorder and  trouble emerged on by what is the purpose of happiness in their society on issues like Distribution of income. and individual social status. pioneer of Dada = Anti-Nazi, Anti-Jesus. what a disjunctive life it was can you Imagine?  Yesterday,Today Mama  if mama is always rich and swishing to forever Dada leaving mama poor forever the majority of people refuted and there is war.

Nihilism in Germany.

Historical refutation as the definite refutation.-- In former times, one sought to prove that there is no God- today one indicates how the belief that there is a God arosed and how this belief acquired its weight and importance: a counter-proof that there is no God thereby becomes superfluous.- When in former times one had refuted the proofs of the existence of God' put forward, there always remained the doubt whether better proofs might not be adduced than those just refuted: In those days atheist did not know to make a clean sweep.
         From Nietzsche's Daybreak,s. 95, R.J.
                                                    Hollingdale transl.
     The foundation of Christianity since the ancient time to present has been exposed to many civil revolutions. Today Christianity is among the first religion in the word ( Judaism, Christianity, Islam ). Those who have been inspired by the believe of one God should not be reputed by the society nor the atheists. Each society has an established government that oversees the interest of all the citizens.  I did  not see Christian's religion harmful to any institution or government as long as it doesn't bring tumult, harm and disturb the common welfare of the population.
     Friedrich Nietzsche, asserts correctly, that a central aspect of Christian thinking was the endless search of the truth, or the :will to the truth" the overwhelming desire and urge to know the truth.God is commonly identified as the source of truth and knowledge and the "bringer of light." But it is the same relentless pursuit of the truth that in modern scientific age undermines the foundations of religion. In his view, these moral beliefs were completely incompatible with our ''life-affirming'' vital instincts, and to that extent nihilistic in that were against"life. We can infer from this statement, that, Nietzsche opposes Christianity, and demonstrated so, by comparing the priest classes who manage and oversee morality and the institutions which support them secretly have the same desires for power and glory.(Friedrich Nietzsche, the Portable Nietzsche, translated by Walter Kaufman).                                                                                                        Compared to any organization institution or community, or religion psychologically all are founded in one idea  to be rich or wealthy or the source of wealth  dependents on them. The truth is that There hasn't been any concrete evidence that human should believe in one divinity. A fact is that, each society or institution relies on scientific discoveries to modernized their lifestyles.
                                                       The German Economy.

     Germany had encounter deep economic crisis after World War I and World War II. Actually, the fifth  world largest economy and Europe's largest, Germany's main financial resource is based on  exporting  machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and household equipment and benefits from a highly skilled labor force. (CIA links). Like its Western European neighbors, Germany faces significant demographic challenges to sustained long-term growth. Low fertility rates and declining net immigration are increasing pressure on the country's social welfare system and necessitate structural reforms.(CIA links)

       To Balanced Germain'economic system, the government of Chancellor Gerhard Schoeder (1998-2005),  has launched several reform deemed necessary to address chronically high unemployment and low average growth, contributed to strong growth in 2006 and 2007 and falling unemployment. These advances, as well as a government subsidized, reduced working hour scheme, help explain the relatively modest increase in unemployment during the 2008-09 recession - the deepest since World War II - and its decrease to 6.5% in 2012.  Gross Domestic Productivity  (GDP) contracted 5.1% in 2009 but grew by 3.7% in 2010, and 3.0% in 2011, before dipping to 0.9% in 2012 - a reflection of the worsening euro-zone financial crisis and the financial burden it places on Germany as well as falling demand for German exports.

     The latest stimulus and stabilization efforts initiated in 2008 and 2009 and tax cuts introduced in Chancellor Angela Merkel's second term has increased  Germany's budget deficit to 3.3% in 2010, but slower spending and higher tax revenues reduce the deficit to 1.7% in 2011, and the government estimates it had a balanced budget in 2012. 

    Based on all of the economy concrete facts, let assert that Germany's population is decreasing from low immigration rate and fertility rates. Without, strong labor force, and population Germany's economy will decline.
