Of course well, let me just say your commission on that one deviant was very fascinating, i didn't even see a single error. You actually made a short story really interesting, and I'm planning on reading more of your works. I actually forgot to fav and comment, but it was really great it makes me sad, though, that amazing deviants like you don't get much attention like the other ones out there. I mean, just look at those pieces of literature you've managed to pull off! I don't even think I'll be able to reach that talent of writing of yours, but I aspire to be a best-selling writer someday, which may be unlikely, but you inspire me to do better!

Ah, the first chime. Most definitely one of my best works (which is why it remains as my 'featured deviation' to this day even though I have written quite a bit ever since).

I'm very glad you took the time to read it and am delighted that you liked it that much, though I really don't think it to be flawless.
I mean, imagine you crafted 'the perfect piece'...you could never ever surpass yourself again, for you've already achieved perfection once and everything else you create can only fall short of what you've created in the past.

'Perfection' is an artists death.
Fortunately, 'Perfection' is a very subjective matter and, as such, is impossible to achieve objectively.

Okay, enough about the philosophy of perfection...I hope that my other works, before or since, will not disappoint you then.
Some turned out nice, some others didn't, but I'm sure you know how this is quite well.

That's just the way the world is, I'm afraid.
I don't spam hundreds or thousands of pages with Fav'n Runs, I don't post my stuff on hundreds of groups and I'm not hanging out in group chats or pay for advertising my works...so yes, while I feel honored that you think I should be getting more attention, the one mainly at fault for not getting more attention is myself.

Or much rather, I could do more to wrestle the attention from the more well-known deviants.

Now, don't say that.
Okay, so I've got a little talent.
But I've also been writing some 15 years now (with breaks), so I sure hope that I've learned a little something or another down the road.

Heh...you have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that, because I've always wanted to inspire others with my works.
Sure it's unlikely, but not impossible. You shouldn't forfeit your dreams just because it's hard.

But please do not forget, that the goal isn't the only important thing in a journey, but also how you get there.
If you have to torture yourself just to get where you want, you may want to rethink if that's really what you want.

But I think you already know all that yourself.

Either way, thanks a lot and happy reading/writing.

Your point of view of the world is very much agreeable, and I also won't give my dreams up right after you just said all this just for me, and let me just say: your reply really sounded like another professional work of yours, and it made my reading of your reply more enjoyable, I even smiled while reading it, which is rare of course, that lesson you gave me about perfection sounded just right, and I hope I can inspire other people like how you have just inspired me thank you

You are most welcome. And it's nothing really.
Someone once said: 'Those who learn from the mistakes of others, are wise. Those who learn from experience, are idiots.'
In that sense, we're all idiots, however I try to make the world around me just a little bit wiser by telling them about the lessons I've learned in my time, giving them the chance to be wiser than I was.

That's good to hear.
Hah! You do know though, that I am just an amateur writer who just doesn't know when to quit, right?
But yes, I make it a habit to write my commentary the same way I write my stories.
Step by step and line by line I construct what I want to say and in the end it's a huge mess which often leaves people who don't know me (and thus my way of commenting) at a loss.

Sure, it takes a while to get it done, but it's really the least I can do.

Here's to a brighter future then.

It's an important part of who I am, that's all there is to it, really.

Not just one, actually.
Currently I'm counting four and working on number 5 (which is a continuation of Nr. 4, actually. Kinda ran out of pages with that story. )
Getting published is easier than ever, thanks to the internet.

And don't even get me started on the novel length stories right here on dA.

Unfortunately they are POD-books (print on demand) - meaning they get printed only once ordered. As such, they don't appear in the regular bookstores (and even if they did, it's Amazon's doing and they would likely only appear in the U.S.A. that way.)

Besides, they are pretty expensive (at least in print, especially if you consider shipping).
That said, via Lulu (one of the links I've sent you), you can also pay via PayPal, if that's any better.
As far as I know, you could wire the required money to  PayPal with a regular bank account and then use that balance to pay with.

However I advise you to first read a few chapters of the Demilympics (available in my gallery) before deciding whether you want the E-Book (which contains proof-reading and some bonus material).
I really don't want you to spend your money and then be disappointed, you know?

We are who we are because of what we did in the past. Denying or, even worse, forgetting it will only lead to repetition.
Though it would be nice if people in the world would stop thinking that we are still the same fools our grandparents were in the 1930s...it's not very fair to be punished for the sins of the ancestors, as I'm sure you know.

However other than that, yeah, it's a pretty neat place to live.
Sure beats living in the middle east at the very least. (Especially Turkey, Syria, you know the drill).

Okay, it's not perfect and there's a shitload of problems in this country as well, but then again, Utopia simply doesn't exist, so from the places that suck, this is one of the ones that suck a little less than many others.
Though quite personally...this 'hospitable even if it's the death of us'-attitude of our government...I could do with a little less of that.
That'd also finally shut up those 'hostile, even if it's the death of them'-guys we also currently have spouting nonsense, even if just a little.

Besides, I think the world is full of amazing places. Each place has its own perks, but also its own problems, it's often hard to say that one is better than the other.

And, let's be honest, life isn't 'easy', no matter where you live.
Wouldn't you agree?

And through all those things you said that you put your whole heart into, I can only say: yes, I definitely agree Germany is probably a nicer country than ours, which is a third world country. And you probably guessed it, I live in Asia. As much as our continent is rich in, well, natural riches, I couldn't agree more to the fact that your country may be progressing more than ours. 'hospitable even if it's the death of us' sounds really cruel, I'm actually kind of glad that I live in a democratic country but you know, I've heard that the 5 Nordic countries (denmark, Iceland, Norway, Finland, sweden) are actually considered utopias, and I'm debating whether or not I should live there for the remaining years of my life if I ever save up enough money.

On the Philippines, according to your profile.
And yeah, it's quite a shame that there even are different 'worlds'.
I mean c'mon, we all share the same planet. Why is there even a need for a 'third world'?

(According to Wikipedia, 'Third world' originally meant countries, which were neither affiliated with the U.S.A., nor with the Soviet Union during the cold war (the soviets being 'Second world')...but back on track)

You know, it may be naive to say so, but if there wasn't a 'third world', if all countries pooled together to get mankind as a whole on one level, there wouldn't be any need for 'migration waves' or 'economic flight'. Also, groups like the African warlords or the IS or what have you would have a FAR harder time, because the countries would look out for each other. I dare say that such powers would be nibbed in the bud, if people were well-educated and in solid circumstances instead of afraid to not see the next sunrise.

And suddenly, a lot of the great problems our world and mankind as a whole is currently facing would simply disappear.

There are statistics how much food is discarded in 'First world countries'...now imagine if this food, which would be tossed away otherwise was given to those who are hungry instead.

There is enough food and enough water for every person on this planet.
And education isn't a limited commodity in the first place. Quite on the contrary...by teaching others to teach, there will be more smart people, not less.
And the world would be a better place.

So I am left to wonder...why is that so hard?

But I am rambling.

'Progressing'...yeah, we are progressing...I'm not sure if I like the direction we are progressing into though.

Oh, Germany is also a democracy. (Is it a surprise, that it ends with 'crazy' )
But the problem is: If we put the needs of the resident citizens (which are in need of support by the government as well) over the needs of the refugees or refuse to take on more than we can chew, we are immediately branded as Nazis again.
And that's what our government is deadly afraid of...so yeah, we could vote for someone else, but either we elect someone who continues the course of Ms. Merkel...or we elect someone, who would actually be a Nazi and steer the country into the opposite direction.
There doesn't appear to be a way that's 'right' for both the refugees and the citizens.

I have no qualms sharing our wealth with those who have less (the fact that I write and post on dA is testament to that).

However if a German family has to search 2 years to find an affordable flat to live in just because they have one child and then there's suddenly hundreds of available flats for the refugees who often have 4-5 children...many can't help but feel a little cheated.

And yes, that IS one of the problems we're struggling with.

I'm sure they have their own problems up there...and I'm not sure, but how many refugees have the Nordic countries taken in?
It may seem heartless, but it is the duty of the government to serve the citizens they're in charge of first and before all.
That's what we pay them for (taxes) after all.

They're supposed to support and protect us.
But often it feels like their 'international image' is more important to them than their actual citizens.
But of course I could be wrong.

I'd be delighted to hear from you after reading some of the pieces there.
I hope you'll enjoy them.

I agree on your 'what-if' theory about the third world countries thing, if there wasn't a division between countries and if the ones who were a tad bit more 'progressive' like the ones who have extra food to be discarded would not think only of themselves (or maybe I'm wrong) and find a way to share to the poor or hungry, there would be real equality and real freedom. And those rebellious groups like the one you just stated and the Isis maybe wouldn't exist if all the governments would make an alliance and defend each other. But of course, that's what the united nations is for, and some countries do feel sorry for the others, like when France got attacked by the Isis. You know sometimes I think, 'would it be better if we (the Philippines) stayed under America's rule and not plead for America to make us an independent country?' our country is not progressing at all. If it weren't for our tourist destinations and other countries to back us up whenever we need help, we would probably be a bankrupt and sad country.
Wow, a democracy too? Gee, I didn't know that, I thought Germany was under martial law or some other scary type of government ^^" well, I guess you could blame Hitler for that sigh, problems.. they really can't be banished, huh? I sometimes think about that, too

'Equality' and 'Freedom', eh?
Quite honestly, I don't think so.

The world would be a far better place, that's for sure, but humans are in constant competition with each other.
This competition is what drives us, as a race, forward in our social and technological evolution, however, at the same time, nobody really wants to give up his edge over another.
Or, the other way around, if everyone simply could sit back and wait for the good things to fall into their laps, nobody would feel the need to really try any more.

And that's the exact reason, why capitalism rules the modern world and not communism.
Because we, as a people, are a selfish bunch and unless we benefit from working hard, we won't do it.

However I want to believe that 'a better world' and 'the nature of mankind' are really excluding each other.
I didn't even ask for someone to give up their 'edge' or 'wealth' or whatever...all I was asking for was that people forward the 'too much' to those in need.
The food we'd throw away for example. Or the clothes we don't wear any more.

Or anything, really.

Rich people tend to have so much money, they don't even know how to spend it, so why not help those who actually do need it?
They'd still have more than enough money for themselves, but someone else won't have to starve because they didn't have enough.
Fortunately many rich people see it the same way and donate some of their wealth for the less fortunate, but often it feels like it's just a single raindrop falling on a barren ground.

Regarding the extremist groups...you mentioned the UN, however what we'd actually need isn't a 'gremium of nations', but much rather a unified planet.
You know, not a bunch of delegates arguing and in the end not changing anything after all, but much rather a 'world government', which passes concrete laws which actually APPLY everywhere and will be enforced accordingly.

Sure, there'd still be local governments, after all the world is a too big place to be ruled from one spot, but if some group or local government tries to go up against the basic rules (the right of children to visit a school, the right of free speech etc.), this world government would be entitled to crack down on them...much unlike the UN, which is a toothless tiger in that regard.

Sure, the UN are a great institution, but as long as they can't actually do anything to make the world better...well, I think we both know what'll happen then...because we see it every single day on the news.

So why exactly aren't the Philippines progressing on their own?
What is the big difference between your country and for example the United States? Or France? Or Germany?

We have far less resources buried beneath our feet, yet we are one of the leading industrial nations in the world.
And why? Because we've got the spirit for it. We work for our personal success and for the success of our nation as a whole.

So now tell me...why don't you? (And by 'you' I do mean your people and also yourself)
And you can't tell me that there aren't any smart people with innovative ideas in your parts, because I refuse to believe that.

Haha, I think you're confusing us with the Turkey.
And yeah, that's kinda the image we have in the rest of the world...the shadows of our past.
No clue why the world won't let us step out of that idiot's shadow, really.

No, they won't just go away, I'm afraid...but I hope that one day we'll be able to overcome them.

Feel free to.

Now that I think about it, you're actually right. Everything, it's all agreeable. I don't even know what to say anymore
Turkey? Well, I'm not that interested in Turkey to even bother learning more about it, but I'll just assume you're right yes, I guess it is. There are even a lot of memes dedicated to these shadows that you speak of, like how a country would react if a certain kind of thing were to happen.
American: someone bumped into my chair and I punched them on the face
German: someone bumped into my chair and I took over their country.
Japan: someone bumped into my chair and I blushed because it was senpai

.. something like that.
Sometimes, I think that stereotyping is one thing that makes a country look bad.

I make a point of making sense with the things I say.

Well, at the very least I keep trying.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the current president of the Turkey is currently portrayed by the western media as a small time Hitler.
He was supposed to help against the IS, which are an actual threat to humanity as a whole...and instead he bombs the Curds (who want a country of their own, much like Palestine and Israel)
There was a coup by the Turkish military recently, which failed.
As a retaliation, Mr. Erdoğan has swiftly taken all 'aggressors' (which also included a bunch of teachers and judges and basically anyone who didn't happen to have his opinion) out of their positions or even put them into jail.

And all the world can do is watch (which is why I called the UN a toothless tiger).

But enough of that.

That's not 'shadows', that's stereotypes (though they really go hand in hand).
We all like to think in drawers, because it minimizes the 'unknown' factor.

A whole while ago someone said, that people fear the darkness because it makes lonely.
However what we really fear and try to drive away...is the unknown.
And yet, at the same time, we hide away our little secrets, stashing them into the darkest corners of our lives, afraid what they'd do if they ever got revealed...funny how that works, isn't it?

Quite honestly...he wasn't the first and, regrettably, he won't be the last.
The lust for power always ends the same way...they are stopped. Either by someone more powerful/capable or by the forces of nature.
Cesar controlled large parts of Europe, but was stopped by the fierce Germanic tribes of the time. He got murdered by his peers.
Napoleon also conquered large parts of Europe, however his power only lasted as long as his victories did. When he lost the battle at Waterloo, he lost the support of his people and thus, his power and got sent into Exile.
Hitler actually might have won his war if the Russians had kept out of it, but even mighty Germany was unable to handle a war at two fronts.
If memory serves, he killed himself when his cause was lost.

So yeah, in the end they all were stopped.
One way, or another.

Violence is never the answer, no matter the question, because anyone controlled by fear and violence will yearn for freedom...and if the opportunity arises (and the pressure is high enough), people will rise and claim that freedom...even if it means more misery.

So yeah...the democracy is the worst of all governmental forms...except for all the others we have tried so far.
For it at least gives the people an illusion of having a choice, because they can make the faces at the top change...though, quite honestly, even if the elections aren't rigged (which I'm not ruling out, in no country at all), those who call the actual shots will always be the same.

Those with the power to make things happen...in this day and age we call it 'money'. Those won't go away, no matter how many elections are held.
Well, until death comes to claim them...at least the world is this just.
Death comes to claim us all, some sooner, some later.

And when the day comes and we stand before our creator, you might want to take a look back at the life you've had.
And when you can then smile and say that you've done the right thing most of the time to the big guy at the end, you'll know that you've lived a good life.

I wonder if Mr. Erdoğan will be smiling once his time comes.
...quite personally, I think he won't.
Especially not if he has to face all those whose lives he destroyed in his lust for power.

But then again, what do I know.

Well, you probably have different things on your news.
Because you see, at first Mr. Erdogan was the laughingstock of Europe, because he got himself riled up big time by a Satire video, but by now the laughter has largely subsided...and we look at him with worry, fearing that he just might have lost his mind somewhere along the way.

Well, I'm 32 years now and I've started writing (somewhat) seriously when I was 15...that's a long time to ponder the nature of the worlds behind the world we live in.
So yeah, I'm a nutcase.

Quite personally, I don't think myself 'political' at all.
I simply process everything that comes my way and that is a hot topic right now, right next to the Amok runs of some refugees, which, supposedly, were recruited by the IS to spread hatred towards the Muslim community or whatever the IS is trying to do...

And the most scary thing of them all?

When I heard what basically happened in front of my doorstep the first thing that came to mind was, "Oh, again?"
That's just how normal the madness has become in our world...kinda sad, isn't it?

In my stories, there's often...very often...a hero or even an entire group of heroes who stand and fight for all things good.
And they usually win, often even with minimal losses and despite overwhelming odds.
Not exactly because I'm a bad writer...well, I guess I am if my plots always play out the same, but that's not the reason...but simply because I want to believe in a better world.
One where 'the good guys' actually win, instead of lying shot in some dark alley, because they tried to help.

I remember that one story, a few years back.
A man watched someone get beat up.
But instead of looking away or 'just' call the police he stepped in...and probably saved the young man's life.
However, if the story ended that way, it probably wouldn't have made the news...at least not as big.

Because the attackers then turned to the good Samaritian...and kicked him to death.

That's the kind of world we live in...and that's also why I majorly create worlds, where good deeds are actually rewarded and not punished.

If only he had taken it with a smile like he really was supposed to do, nobody would even have taken notice of the satire video in the first place.
Only by him getting all fired up about it, he became a laughingstock...so really, a little more humor would've saved him a lot of grief.

Well, if you keep at something for such a long time, I sure hope I've learned SOMETHING at least.

Practice never hurts. Well, unless you're doing sports, in that case, practice can hurt.

It's a news problem...they only report about the bad things, completely neglecting the good things that are happening.

When was the last time you heard about someone helping someone else on the news?
Just something minor, like helping an elderly woman cross the street.
Or help them carry their load.

Or even just stop and take some time to listen to what they have to say.

Those are all small things, but they make the world better, even if just by the tiniest of bits.

But do you hear about them? Nope.

It's not exactly a great purpose, but much rather a solemn wish for the world to be a better place.

People like me, huh?
I wonder if that would do any good...now, what the world really needs is more people like that guy.
People who actually face the problem and do the decent thing instead of turning away like it's nobody's business.

Oh and yes there are people here with innovative ideas. It's just that the government is a big problem (I mean was, since our new President is a lot better) they don't really support the ideas. Like the fluorescent lamp. It was originally created by Flores, a Filipino. He showed the government his amazing creation, but they didn't even recognize his hard work. He was then forced to just sell the idea to a large foreign company for millions of dollars. If the government had given him a chance, we could be progressing well by now. Some problems here are money, really awful and annoying traffic, drugs and the like. Did I forget to mention the low literacy and employment rate? And also the population? Geez, the Catholic church is gaining control over us. They don't want the country to learn the number of children, but they instead want MORE children, obviously for the church's future use. We're naturally rich, but if we don't use those resources wisely, what's the point? We're even having a hard time catching up with America or Japan, and we need their constant support to back us up. We're acting like defenseless chickens here, now that we're debating with China, which is full of military defense, because they're the biggest population. If we can't stand up for ourselves, how can you call that independence?
Sorry for the rant ^^"
