I like stuff that does not suck

yea, before google translate it would have been more interesting for sure . But it would also have excluded others a lot more. 

btw I disagree that it is sad to see the sunrise when one is alone / in solitude.

German is kinda obsessed with the sadness/loneliness / being alone / solitude stuff (not saying other languages don't talk about it ofc). This bent in the culture is better left alone (there is a reason why they have such an insanely big goth/gothic/doom/black metal/darkwave scene). Just like French likes the sound of itself too much, German has this bend (there is a reason why some very famous philosophers come from there, e.g. the big names linked to nihilism). Plus German likes to over-complicate stuff in writing . End of today's language window haha. I wonder what one could say about English .

Oscar Wilde in German sounds like a punishment

Nenhuma das minhas lágrimas é de portugal. Minhas lágrimas são de humanidade enquanto você beija a lua todas as noites.

J'aime secrètement dans le masque des ténèbres et à la lumière de la lune. Je vis par la chaleur du soleil qui embrasse l'obscurité de mon cœur.

Depression is found in every culture, but the expression varies.  In America, we prefer to uphold a vision of ideal standards of success.  For many in America, materialism is believed to be a sign of high-status.  Mental illness is perceived as a stain and these populations are largely outcasted.  America has a belief that it is more important to suffer in silence than to admit personal flaws.  It is rare to see an American who is down-to-earth and embraces their inner shadows.  We're quite shallow as a nation.  American culture also lacks a culture.  That's part of the issue--there's very little metaphysical history to America (and where there were moments of inspiration, they were hammered down and largely eliminated).  We're like the bratty, spoiled child who never grew up and expects the world to bow to us because we believe we are forward-thinking leaders.  We're not.  We've done well by the mind, but poorly by the heart.  We can think, but we lack feeling.  

At least Germany is expressing and experiencing themselves, even if it appears dark.  Germans are processing.  Americans are largely frozen in their existence.  

Literally, viewing a sunrise in solitude is beautiful.  Figuratively, viewing a sunrise in solitude is lonely.  Life is significantly more beautiful when the beauty in moments can be shared with others.  There's something so moving in a collective awareness that isolation can't even hold a candle to.  Birthing a new world requires a collective awareness.  Birthing a new world alone is merely a dream.  There are differences.

Oscar Wilde in German does sound like a punishment lol.

Hey my friends I want to share with you stuff, my stuff if you will because I understand it is my stuff. I can't simplify anything big, but I sure have tried my hand unadvertendly. I think and act and in between I am becoming involved with my worldly life very actively. I say I am aware I am the highly volatile and fickle companion that is mentioned in the books. Now throw your rocks at me for writing this but it seems, to use an image, that all this knowledge of the books and the sort has come to my hands very, very easily. And what I'm thinking now, rihgt now? that such magic really lends a smile to my face. I was blocked by the sheer magic of the books because I was in a comfortable position. And I want to say that now the knowledge might have sometimes weighed on my back, it even weighed these years on my back without my thought, so that is how I explain these years (psychiatry). But I have been always fighting, I am a fighter, that simply stuck to my me. Scary times sometimes but I indeed have used my comfortable position to great advantage so that I cushion myself. My age now is a very significant age (27) and let me tell you that now it's all up and going and going. I ask questions, I take stances, I suddenly let myself be stopped. I break down limits and clarify antagonisms. I blindly see myself feeling lucid and aware. I think that becoming aware of what is what helps me a lot because due to way things progressed in my life I was very strongly acting and never stoping to take conclusions.
So what do I say? that I am not conceptually afraid of spilling this too long don't read text right here, because this is part of what I do and I understand that when I use the world to hear my words I get the honey out of the bee-hive and don't get one sting. Because I have already taken the big one and when I did let myself see that big one, i did not let myself feel it. I felt no pain. Life is a dance now and I am dancing, stalking myself. I can only wonder from what I think how I can undress what I am not so suddenly, unexpectedly, it seems my auto-thing is stupid but that works great when I am secretly a happy mule. So these words are my honest device, which I do not control but I kind of reared in my mind to move! So why not? Great luck only turns to bad luck when I try without honesty something like I really care. All many other ways let me live. This is my shitty device: It's so jigglypuffing funny! It's just some ****.
