I photographed this rooster a few days ago. It’s luck when the time we have is limited as if they provide themselves to be the subject of an image. Yes, not bad right? His color is pretty elegant, right?
I was just about to close the gate when I saw this rooster with his entourage scavenging soil on a vacant lot next to the house. They are very busy! None of them stood idly by. Hahay… rather similar to my condition which is running around here and there…
Talking about being busy, to be honest, some part of me seems to have asked to rest but others part insist on keep on moving up to what needs to be done completely done, and if that is his choice, then it will still be long enough.
As I said in the last few posts, the focus of my nation’s members is on the election. The election was finished but the vote counting process was still carried out, and it seems until later the elected president would be sworn in after being constitutionally determined, various things which ravaged the sense of justice, attitude to be trusted, common sense, the feeling of the whole nation, and others will continue to spin fast like a storm. Unfortunately, many people and many parties have blinded themselves, played to win in any way, others are trapped by winds, others clench their fists while singing songs of struggle, and the rest can only cry sad and mourn witnessing lies versus honesty, power versus the will of the people fight over the place as the main star or can only feel embarrassed because all of these dramas are not good shows for the world, even though it’s loaded with valuable lessons in them.
I am not a fan of politics, but I care about the fate of my people. I might care less about the person who leads my country, but I care about integrity, nationalism, and the patriotism of a leader who promises to lead me to my great nation’s ideals.

No (2 votes) – 18%
And your reward is well received and full of excitement, dear friend.
The cock is very beautiful and proud. I do not love politics, but I want Leaders to be more concerned about their nation
We have the same point of view about the leaders, Ellenka.
Politics is dirty, perhaps like the dirty the chicken walked on …
But the funny thing is I’m interested in reading politics sandals or scandals of any kind …
lol
Politics is dirty, and being in it must make us dirty too, unfortunately, our lives are in politics, which has contaminated all aspects of our lives, so even if we can keep the distance of it, still often pollutes our minds too.
The cock is fantastic, dear friend… it’s really proud …. but what matters to me is not even interested in politics and I’m not burdened with it
Politics… I am also reluctant to talk about it, let alone get involved in it, but it is quite difficult to avoid the impact because it affects our lives, both directly and indirectly.
I agree, dear Albert but it’s just sad that nothing can be done
Unfortunately, that is the reality that happens in general, dear friend. It is ironic when politics should be from the people for the people it continues to reverse, where the people must have to serve politics.
Have you counted the votes, dear Albert?
A vote count is being carried out until later announced on May 22, dear friend.
This counts for you, but it takes … We have partial results in Sunday’s election on Monday, but they do not differ much from the official ones, which are known at the latest on Wednesday
Both parties have and publish their respective counts, and both are different. Incumbents showed quick counts in all streamlines media for their victory while the challenger’s vote count was shown on many online sites by supporters and people who did not believe in all survey institutions that showed quick counts.
These are the machinations themselves
Most people believe there is a conspiracy there.
I know that the easy answer is I don’t care about politics. I do truly mean that is an easy answer. All of us care about politics.
We get in our transportation system and expect the highway to be smooth, the bridges to be there and the police to monitor traffic so that aggressive drivers are not running wild.
Politics is in everything that a nation builds and delivers. All of us need to consider that politics is what makes our nations (there many represented here) go.
Actually, once we open our eyes in the morning, we are already involved in politics, right? Given that it is related to the electric bill, price of toothpaste, eggs, and tea for breakfast, transportation costs, road safety, etc. and if everyday people can only complain about it all, at the time of the election we seem to see an opportunity to see a change, but actually we don’t really know if that is indeed the thing need to expect…
The reality of our world is politics. but it has been that way for so long people forget.
Hopefully my friend, the elections will not drive all to despair. Sometimes, they do.
Yep! Many people like you and I don’t like politics, but like it or not, materially we are in it.
I have the same hope as you, Doc. Hopefully, the increasingly socio-political temperature in my country does not reach the boiling point.
I won’t throw the other Twain quote about politics out. Suffice it instead to say “politics is a game best played, alone.”
You have a good statement about politics.
Ahhhh, politics. I write very little on this subject. As far as I am concerned, it is but mummery. Election time in my country is next month. And while it is not yet finished, my meditation will be disturbed by playing of loud campaign jingles.
Yup! If we usually say “wherever you are facing, there we see the face of God” then this time is “wherever the senses are directed, what emerges is politics”, except in Virily and during meditation.
It’s been almost 29 year i had this kind of chicken bird , it was very similar to this.
You have a 29 year old chicken? Wow.
running around like chickens with their heads cut off is an apt metaphor for the way we do politics lately…
Hahaha… The one running around with a heads cut off is a dying chicken, right?
I expect anything without a head is going to die soon
That’s for sure, brother… Even thousands of troops without strong leadership.
leadership? we could use some of that around now…
That is what we should use, and not always autopilot.
autopilot is what got us here to begin with
To put it mildly, politics is dirty. From my experience in our country, I know that politicians only work for themselves. Very little they care for us ordinary people.
I agree and that is a human phenomenon everywhere, being in practical politics is wallowing in dirt, unfortunately as if on behalf of the people and for the people.
I love the photo of the Rooster, he is great
Thank you so much, Pamela. Glad you like it.
I too, have felt this way. Politics goes everywhere, the running of businesses, rest homes and my country.
I also share your opinion, I care more about my country than politics. People in my country matter to me.
I always try to stay away from politics, but as an activist sometimes the meeting is inevitable, and when that happens… Hsss… That’s because I love and care the people of my country.
When I see such a beautiful rooster, I can not think of politics. I’ll just say that! I do not think there is a politician who first thinks about the good of his country and his people. Not in my country! Maybe in your country is different.
Seeing the rooster, I imagined myself, who was like that… lol
Ah… It seems like so many people understand that politics is dirty… But it seems like you are already immune so you don’t feel short of breath…
Yes I have felt this way Albert and photos such as this beautiful rooster helps take my mind off politics. But I agree, I care about my country, just not the politics.
At present, only fortitude is useful, and only meditation gives peace…
