Humanity must expand its perspective regarding the long-term consequences of present-day actions. Too often, decisions are made with only the next decade in mind, when in truth, we ought to consider the effects these choices may have over the course of centuries — or even millennia.
We must ask ourselves difficult but necessary questions:
Will this action harm the evolutionary development of human genes?
Will it disrupt the balance of nature, damage ecosystems, or compromise the health of animals and the food we rely upon?
This is not a condemnation of technological progress. Innovation plays a vital role in advancing society. However, with each new development, it is essential to pause and ask: What impact will this have on the enduring evolution of life in all its forms?
Progress should not come at the cost of long-term well-being. We must shift from a mindset focused solely on immediate gain to one that embraces responsibility for the distant future. In doing so, we ensure that our legacy is not one of destruction, but of foresight and care for the generations yet to come.
Let us be thoughtful stewards of the world we are shaping — not just for ourselves, but for all who will inherit it.

Most people are, in some way, afraid to truly be themselves around others. Even with those closest to us, we often hide behind a mask — afraid of being seen as strange or unstable, afraid of losing our jobs, relationships, or friendships if we don’t fit the mold society expects. That’s the truth: we play roles. And if you don’t play the game, life often pushes you to the sidelines.
But real connection comes when we drop the act and let others see who we truly are. When we dare to show our core selves, we build trust and deep understanding. We become able to recognize when someone else is struggling and support each other through life’s challenges.
Yet, those who live authentically often face difficulties. They challenge the illusions that most people live behind, and history shows that genuine, honest individuals often get hurt for doing just that. This fear drives many to retreat behind their masks. It feels safer.
But remember: when you wear a mask, you block yourself from the full experience of life. You don’t truly feel the sun on your skin, the rain, the wind —or the intimacy of a real connection. With a mask, you’re only half-living.
When you reveal your true self — gently and humbly — you create a safe space for others to do the same. Authenticity is powerful. It allows you to feel and see what’s truly meaningful in life and in other people.
That’s the way forward for humanity: living authentically, together.

Everyone knows, at least in their minds, that life is a miracle — but we often take it for granted. In truth, life is so miraculous that it’s hard to even describe. Try to truly feel that in your heart, not just understand it in your head.
People often wish for miracles — like winning money or getting something they want. But the real miracle is already happening inside you. Trillions of things are taking place in your body every second to keep you alive. That alone is an incredible miracle.
Even a single blade of grass is a miracle. Every moment, millions of tiny processes are happening inside it. Now imagine how many blades of grass there are in the world. Multiply that by the miracle each one represents, and you begin to grasp how sacred, complex, and beautiful life truly is.
If you hold that feeling in your heart and remember it often, you’ll start to see the world differently — and find more joy in the everyday. You’ve already won the lottery just by being alive. When you realize this, with both your mind and heart, you can start to truly live and appreciate this miracle—even with all its ups and downs.
In fact, it’s those highs and lows that make life meaningful. Every blink of your eye, every heartbeat, is a reminder that you’re alive. Be aware of that. Feel it. Live in it.
Yes, life can be hard—but when you remember the miracle of simply existing, multiplied by everything around you, it can lift your spirit and remind you that life is a massive, extraordinary gift. And it can be very, very good.

The most important teachings, of course, are those of Jesus: love thy neighbor, forgive, do not judge, care for the elderly, and be kind. But another crucial area that often goes unaddressed is the understanding of psychology, particularly around the emotions of hate and rage.
If we were taught from an early age how to process hate and rage in healthy ways — without hurting others physically or psychologically — much of the violence in the world could be reduced. As Jim Morrison once said, “Hate is an underestimated feeling.” He was right. We’re taught about love in many places — religion, school, media — but almost nowhere are we taught how to understand or manage hate. When these powerful emotions appear, most people don’t know how to respond constructively.
If people were educated early and consistently on how to recognize and handle these intense feelings, we would likely see far fewer tragic and violent outcomes. Awareness and emotional skills could make a real difference in how individuals handle daily conflict and internal struggles. A world that teaches not just love, but also how to deal with hate and rage, would be a much safer, more compassionate place. This is something worth seriously considering.

Everyone says the world is crazy and full of evil — but no one ever admits that they might be part of that craziness. How does that make sense?
Jim Morrison broke down after recording “The End” with The Doors. He asked, “Do you understand what I’m saying?” He said that all of God’s children are in pain. All of God’s children are insane. What he meant was: we’re all running from reality because we were wounded by it early on. The world traumatizes us when we’re young — just watching the news as a child can leave scars. The mind of a child is fragile, like eggshells, as Morrison said in An American Prayer.
People think insanity exists only in mental hospitals. But the truth is, we all carry wounds. And we all try to escape them — through drugs, money, sex, image, distractions. I’m not here to label anyone insane. I’m saying we all have problems to face. And the answer isn’t found in breathing techniques or fancy meditation routines.
The real healing begins when you start observing your own mind — your thoughts and feelings—as they happen. Not with candles or music, but with full awareness. When you observe your thoughts and feelings with your consciousness, like a hawk, you are fully aware of your actions at any time. Then you can adjust yourself when it’s needed. That’s the secret: look inward, not just outward. Watch your inner world like a hawk. We’re quick to blame the world, but we rarely examine ourselves.
When you truly understand yourself, you begin to understand others — because deep down, we’re all human. Don’t panic if you feel broken. Begin to clean the mess. You’re stronger than you think. All minds have the power to grow.
That’s why we connected with people like Ozzy Osbourne and Jim Morrison — because they were honest about the struggle. Now it’s our turn to get honest — with ourselves.
Keep fighting.

Tveita 1991
Many people reading this may be living in an emotional coma. Their minds are free, so they assume nothing is wrong, but in reality, they are sleepwalking through life, disconnected from the natural joy they were born with. These feelings — what I call the “constant kick” of true inner happiness—are blocked by childhood fears and societal conditioning. From an early age, the world instills fear in us, shutting down our ability
to fully experience life. As a result, we lose touch with the deep well of love, energy, and joy that resides within us.
Through my poetry and persona, I try to offer a glimpse of this lost connection. Modern society locks away the heart’s “doors of perception,” making it difficult for us to access our most profound emotions. However, simply being aware of this disconnection is the first step toward healing. Feeling truly alive begins with recognizing what has been suppressed.
One possible solution is embracing a more tribal way of living — forming deeper, local communities where social interactions become meaningful rather than superficial. In today’s fast-paced world, people rush past one another, missing out on real human connection. The slower you live, the more you absorb life, both within yourself and in the world around you. Living at a deeper level allows you to experience contentment
rather than constantly running from uncomfortable emotions. In a supportive community, good feelings can flourish, naturally overshadowing and healing negative emotions. If we all became one another’s “therapists” — offering support, understanding, and connection—many mental health struggles could be lessened.
Another key to awakening inner joy is adopting a spiritual perspective — whether or not you believe in God. Life itself is an overwhelming miracle, and treating it as such with both your heart and mind can reignite the wonder and gratitude that modern life often suppresses.
By slowing down, embracing deeper human connections, and recognizing life as the miracle it is, perhaps happiness is within reach. Just some thoughts.
With love,
Robert Moritz-Olsen

One of the ugliest traits embedded in human nature is an instinctive tendency to mistreat those we perceive as weak. What’s truly unsettling is how often we fail to recognize this disrespectful behavior in ourselves. Only a rare few are conscious of this flaw, and even they may act on it subtly, unnoticed by others. If you become aware of this trait, you gain the power to resist it — to curb your baser instincts and prevent yourself from being cruel or unkind. Many people insist they don’t exhibit this behavior, but the sad truth is that most do, often unconsciously, even those who consider themselves “good.” Stay vigilant, like an eagle, in your thoughts. Treat everyone with respect, knowing that one day you too will face weakness. Think beyond the impulses of a mere animal; take a longer view, gather your resolve, and remain mindful of this trait every day. Live by your human values and recognize this dark impulse woven into our DNA. Don’t simply label yourself as “good”— instead, strive to avoid being bad, and in that effort, you’ll find a truer sense of goodness.
_______________________________________________________________________
My entire philosophy can be summed up in one simple sentence: “Life is full of problems, but it’s still beautiful.” To truly be alive is to recognize that life and death are always intertwined — one inevitably follows the other. Don’t live like a zombie; embrace the reality that life and death are constant companions in your everyday existence.
The more you truly live, the more aware you become of your own mortality — and that awareness can inspire you, pushing you to appreciate life more deeply. You don’t need to chase danger to feel alive; the mere fact that death can come at any moment is enough to remind you of life’s urgency. So be present. Be alive. You only live once — make it count.
_______________________________________________________________________
It’s natural to be skeptical of others, and in many ways, it makes sense. But remember — we are nothing without each other. Human connection is what makes life meaningful. Imagine living alone on the planet — no one to talk to, laugh with, or share special moments. That would be a kind of hell in itself.
Yes, people can be difficult, and the world can be chaotic, but we need one another. Instead of seeing only the flaws in humanity, try to appreciate and love people despite their imperfections. We’re all navigating this crazy world together. True self-discovery isn’t found in solitude, Zen, or yoga — those are only temporary comforts. The deepest understanding of ourselves comes from the connections we build with others.
Of course, trust should be given wisely, and precautions are necessary, but that doesn’t mean we should close ourselves off. Open your heart to others, and you’ll find that love and kindness create a ripple effect. When you radiate love, you receive it in return.
If we learn to love one another so deeply that doubt and negativity fade away, perhaps we can create a world where healing and trust replace fear and skepticism. That is possible.

All humans are inherently evil, selfish, and narcissistic. That’s human nature. People don’t like being called animals, but that’s exactly what they are — and it’s time to face that harsh truth. The only real way to rise above your base instincts is to do what Jesus taught: admit you are a sinner and ask God for forgiveness. But let’s be clear — “sinner” isn’t some vague, gentle word. Sin is the selfishness, the narcissism, the cruelty that lives in every person and that most people act on without a second thought. That’s the sin. Not some sugarcoated concept.
You need to wake up and recognize your animalistic nature — and fight it. Stop blindly following every selfish urge, because when you do, you hurt others, destroy relationships, and contribute to the mess this world is in. I’m not saying things like sex are inherently wrong — sex is good — but don’t let your life be ruled by every base instinct.
You are ruled by instincts that, left unchecked, turn you into something destructive. Take control. Be the master over those urges instead of being dragged around by them. That’s the only way you’re going to make your life — and this world — a better place. Otherwise, you’re just another selfish animal pretending you’re more than that.

The most important art to master is the art of struggle.
Many people try to escape reality — they numb themselves, avoiding both pain and joy. As David Bowie once said, they don’t feel anything at all. But we should do the opposite: lean into reality. Yes, reality can be harsh — it bites — but it’s also a blessing.
Real life is difficult. But the key is to stay in it. The beginning and end of a meaningful life — the alpha and the omega — is learning how to find joy even when you’re sad. Jim Morrison captured this feeling when he said, “I’ve been down so goddamn long, that it looks like up to me.” It’s raw, but it’s real. So fight.
Don’t buy into the fantasy that some yoga gurus or influencers sell — that life is only about bliss, peace, and endless positivity. That’s a utopian lie. Life is struggle. But the secret is this: paint your struggles with love. That’s what makes the hard parts bearable. It’s what creates a kind of “happy-sad” harmony.
Escaping means feeling nothing, and feeling nothing means not living. Like Bowie said, escape leads to emotional deadness. Real life means facing the chaos—and growing from it.
When you finally accept that life is a fight, you begin to learn how to handle it. David Lee Roth nailed it in Van Halen’s “Jump”:
“You got to roll with the punches to get to what’s real.”
Life is a boxing match. But once you learn the rhythm, the technique, and the mindset, it gets easier. Maybe not easy — but more beautiful.

The most important thing in life—above money, power, or ambition — is to lift up our elders. They have lived. They have seen. They have carried knowledge through storms and struggles to pass it on to us. And like it or not, you will be in their shoes sooner than you think. Time doesn’t ask your permission — it just pushes you forward.
That’s why we must never rush our elders into a nursing home unless their condition leaves us no other choice. Even then, they should never be exiled far away. No elder should be more than a short walk — no more than 1,000 meters — from the arms of their family and the laughter of familiar voices.
We need to live like tribes again, where generations live close, love close, and stand close. We waste too much believing the state should do it all for us. Most of what elders need — care, conversation, companionship — can and should come from family, neighbors, and friends.
What we are doing now… the cold neglect, the casual cruelty… it’s unconscious evil. We just go along with it, blindly. Elders are not burdens — they are the heartbeat of history, the living libraries of our people. The Indigenous knew this. They treated elders like sacred wells of wisdom.
Young and old must share the same spaces, the same streets, the same stories. Without that, the young stumble into mistakes they could have avoided if they had only listened to those who have walked the road before them.
So wake up. Love your elders. Learn from them. Protect them. This is the only way out of the mess we’ve made of the world. And deep down, you know it. Period.

My Indian Summer of Love, 1991
How can I put into words my “Indian Summer of Love” in 1991, and how it changed my life forever?
In the autumn of 1989, I started a rock band called Max Uflax, with me as the vocalist. A few months later, though, I became ill with ME. On August 22, 1990, I began attending Follo Folkehøgskole (a Norwegian “people’s high school”) after finishing regular high school. I went there to see if I could write lyrics — because I felt there was no point in being a vocalist if I wasn’t also a poet.
The band kept improving, but I grew sicker and sicker. At Follo, I had to live slowly, almost in a kind of “tribal” way. The very first poem I wrote there summed up that feeling:
“Come in, sit down,
let’s travel without leaving the town.”
I realized that the journeys we make in social gatherings are the greatest journeys in life. That was the spirit of Follo — we all felt it. But for me it cut even deeper, because my illness forced me to stay still. That stillness woke me up emotionally. It was both a blessing and a sadness, because I couldn’t join fully in the life around me.
By February 1991, I was too sick to continue and had to return home. I was devastated. But by summer, as I began to heal, I left the sadness behind and felt as if life itself had become Eden. Inside me was pure joy, pure love — without drugs, without meditation — just life itself.
That was the beginning of my Indian Summer of Love in 1991. It was a constant rush, yet peaceful. That memory has sustained me through three decades of hardship. Even today, I think of it ten times a day.
At Follo I discovered something deep — something I can only call the soul. Life is more than ordinary. It can be divine. And if we are close to each other, like we were at Follo, we may all wake up to it.
That was my Indian Summer of Love, 1991.
