Now as 52 years old and watching things from the points of view of other more complex areas of life. It seems that technology has developed so much during my lufetime, that if already in the 1990's computers were able to develop new math faster than humans, it is likely that niwadays the kind of artistic looks of some superhypercomputer or whatever, serk to explain that engineering really has advanced far, and so one should recheck the need for engineers etc. There surely is a need for user help professionals, and for people liking engineering kinds of things checking that new results too have a human-understandable form.
But new results seem to be found by some few who are very much so inclined, kibd of trying to learn what kibds of things others invented. And user-friendliness features are needed too.
But on the whoke it seems that a large part of why engineering studies are too often recommended to those with a good thinkibg ability, is that goibg diligently through too simple theory, that one is not especially motivated toward, be it engineering or school or some other theoretical understabding, makes one typically in the daily lufe speedy and observe quickly and well senses open, at least seen things, which is needed for driving, good at sports, gives good way of makkng observations for more finely tuned wise areas of lufe lije arts, religion, practical life, picture of the workd, etc, which is very much needed instead of yheblurred rough mimics of such ubderstanding and observatiobs.
The 1940's and the first Moon flight 1969 brought lots of engineering influencies, and so there is a need for a good objective picture of the world with engineering too understood in it.

I wondered why some old fashioned idea of Africans is kind of charming and positive in ways that one does not see so often. But I came to notice that is it a picture of some person who went to a very different kind of culture because of being charmed by it, like for example one might imagine a rationally communicating person in Iran finding oneself in social situations that are jyst totally different in atmosphere, style and content or skill levels. So it is a collection of charming situations, i.e. a picture of a happy foreigner, propably unable to fully support the local life, but anyway a picture of life in a foreign culture instead of a picture of a certain nationality.
27th of March 2024, the Wednesday of the Easter week
In today news https://yle.fi/a/74-20081069 there was a video of a foreigner who appeared weak as if kn a bacterial disease, but from having eaten foods (jotain sellaista kuin raskaita "Riitan herkku"-lettuja, nakkikastiketta, kiinankaalia) that suit Chinese oriented people at least here in Finlsnd in north-eadtern Europe. Instead he ought to have eaten something like foods, which in Finnish are called "juusto-parsakaalikeitto", "kiisseli", "hedelmämoussejälkiruoka kermavaahdon kanssa", maybe in tropics pieces of fruits kept in room temperature before serving.
In tge news there was a picture of a movie, a wounded or murdered man on snow, excapt that there was quite bright red around. Oh, maybe there was really much blood upon blood on very thin snow, or on ice, so maybe it could have been blood. But ordinarily if one gets a wound outdoors when there is snow, the drops vanish in the powdery new snow, since the drops are heavy and warm and the snow light and easily melted. So ordinarily blood isn't seen on snow. If there is more blood or the snow kind of rigid surface, the blood drops often kind of spread to the snow around, and many of them vanish downwards, so the effect of like that of some dust. But if there is ice, then maybe also smal amounts of bloid lise their coloyr, but blood upon icy bloid ought to be bright red, but such is rarely seen, and there often also come new layers of snow upon iced substancies, so such does not stay long like footprints outside paths may be seen for months. So if someone thought things very peaceful here in the north because of no such colours on snow, that isn't so peaceful here but blood isn't usually bright red on snow.
I do not know how much crime there is. It seems to be one factor to take into account in daily life. But in the spring when temperatures are well above zero, it seems that all who spent the winter here, even if it was indoors, take the winter seriously. In the autumn it wasn't so at all, so it seems thst all those died. So the weathers and living wisely the seasons are one factor determining who can stay alive here. That is why the country has the name association "finish", at the furthest edge of livable regiln in the world. More extreme are like in space ship. I do not understand why mentioning such makes foreigners think they ought to kill people. Do they think this area culturally homogeneous, kind of nonchanging. The climate does not change, the geopolitical and military locatiln as an edge natiln of a big nation does not change, and the amount of civiliced thinking benefical in this climate zone does not change. Yet the people may change.
" Women's Day 8th of March in the spring winter isn't actually a celebration. Instead it is a wish to end the winter cold by women's wisdom if they happen to such have with such an effect too. If a child wants tl be a girl, it is for most or all imporant that one could get a child of one's own and carry it in one's stomach. So the child is asked, do you think that you would be able to care for the child in your stomach so well that it does not die but is healthy and grows like a child ought to, and care for the child when it has born but is still quite youbg, say a few years, and care for your own body and needs so well that you have the strenght and wisdom etc for such and things run well for you, your family and friends, for the social group you live in and also the society and world good for life in the future. And so most women and girls learn to care for such yhings somewhat, have some wisdom of lufe anf common sense and think that such are needed. And so if the world is of spirit, Women's Day in ghe quite early spring can help to end the winter cold and bring spring weathers.
I guess such is some general wisdom of how is good to live, suited for all, like healthy ways of living and civiliced wisdom, and taking the environment into account, and wishing well in the world - but even mentioning this causes that many try to convince others of the opposite goals as similarly wise advice in life. But it is like a passer-by of a young person or animal saying/thinking "Gees, good ways of doing and taking the environment into account civilicedly, that's life!". Emotional wisdom of life tells whether one feels well or not, so learning wisdom of life about feelings helps in this a lot, but these are complex subjects including wisdom of life, understanding of good ways of doing, of personal differencies, learning, individuality, society level wisdom and one's picture of the world, etc.

I have written of skills and talents, also of gaining fair position and of quality and wisdom of life. My advices are often theoretical and meant for a global auduence, but if you can back ghem up with your civiluced wisdom and lufe skills, interests etc, it is likely that if the works of others seem somehow lower quamity than you expectez, it is likely that you yourself could produce something of quite much better quality or otherwise more interesting in the world than before. So I guess these texts do work as study material of skills and talents, at least for slme. That is what I have written them for. Remember your responsibility in the world, wishing sell for the future generatilns and respecting fair play.
In this Christmas gnomes text, the advices about making indoors nice have seemed to interest readers surprisingly much. I try to collect here advices where to find some of them.
The old blog was picturesfrommyhome.blogspot.com .
Especially the earliest post at LearnTalents.BlogSpot.com/2023/09 has seemed interesting from the point of view of making indoors nice.
Was it before or after chapter 26. there were separate short texts and among them of making home nice and of Finnish celebrations.
Also after those long texts, among the later typically much shorter posts there is at least something about making indoors nice.
https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2024/01/home-nicely.html
Also earlier, in chapter 11., after 100 there are some pictures from my window etc and something about making home nice.
https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2023/12/indoors-somewhat-like-forest.html
If one starts from the beginning of the texts "Skills of Christmas gnomes", for example A21. is about making home nice, so I guess there are mant such texts along the way. See https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2018/09/gnomes-or-more-likelily-doing-things-in.html
It matters especially much that one would like the place abd district one lives in, please see https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2023/11/finding-good-place-to-live-in.html

I was born and raised in Helsinki, in an academically inclined environment thst valued especially nature sciences. So my childhood home was kind of scarce and I got forced to study physics snd math in the university. Later I tried to change to farming but ended up writing. In Savonlinna the main areas of life were interesting, and when I bought something, I tried to learn how the locals arranged things like curtains etc, kind of handiworks, arts, wisdom of the elderly and summer cottage life as a forefigure. But those were among my main interests there and arranging home was just a passing moment of trying such to home too, with emphazis on giving possibilitues for lufe and arts. But Savonlinna appeared more dangerous than the capital district, which was more centered on civiliced wisdom than the dangerous persons in Savonlinna. So anyway, living there for 11,5 years kind of removed much of the possibilities to go to places etc, which anyway is important in the long run.
This was the first photo, when I tried the poster of the famous painting on my wall. After that I have somehow taken pictures and written of making indoors nice, etc.
But in Espoo

About how I placed the famous poster (bought from the internet shop of the Ateneum Art Gallery https://ateneum.fi/en/ ) of the painting of a young man who can learn from the trees' wisdom. The subject was about nature contact, so I placed the poster facing somewhat toward the window. The painting is made so that children at different ages can see it from a height of their present skill level, or so like makes sense from tge point of view of learning. So I as an adult placed it somehow well so for myself, and in the impressiln took into account the furniture near by, amount of light etc. I have liked the shadows of room plants playing on the walls sometimes, so I took the picture at such a time of a sunny day. Then it was a year or some anniversary lije date from when my Japanese sputz Vaapukka seemed to have died and woken from death while st vetenarian for teeth stone removal, so I guess that some readers of my blog about that were interested in that. So I took more pictures, kind of to support ordinary life.
15th of March 2024 You get magnifient looking views if you arrange them to be in a good way central in your room, when they look magnifient in your eyes just that moment, like for example a liked hobby running well or a tree outside the window somehow fitting your sense of charm. At some later moment you can arrange something of the rest of the room so that you do not need to overemphasize some fine view or fine thing when not feeling a need for such a charm so much right then. The goal is that all the things at home would be in their own way good for life and give room for varied types of activity, refreshment, stimuli, life according to one's wishes and needed things in a nice form that makes it easy to trust civiliced wisdom in estimating how much of each.
29th of March 2024, the Friday of the Easter week
I have always had as a kind of dream or magnifient thing to sometimes try to figure out and learn, to become a great painter. It is mostly just a far away dream or fine thing, but kind of motivation to learn some things in that direction, and so sometimes when placing some nature decoration object, places of furniture, places to look out frlm the window or a poster on a wall, there is also some sense of magnifient looks and atmospheric old times things that comes along sonewhat on some side of it, since I am not so sure of such skills, I just try to learn where to find such in the daily life, without making life less healthy in spirit, less joyfully actkve in healthy ways well fitted into the society.
3rd of April 2024 OBS! If one wants especially stunning views, it is important that one would like the views oneself, be fond of such charm. And that the place and views would be like one's own inclination in questions oh how to live and wisdom of life. One should live according to one's wusdom of lufe and like fits the world, in a place where one's interests, skilks, values, way of life and likings support the traditional ways of living there, wisdom beneficial there and for the world. And so the things in one's home kibd of rhyme together and produce an unseen strenght that is wise in the world. As well known, arts support observing the beauty of nature, so liking arts is likely to make nature views out from the window more impressive. If there is something lacking in the atmosphere or social position, eating oneself warm with good food makes as a habit the place somehow more impressive. Sports as an interest, for example recreation outdoors with the weathers and nature, may make the views out from the windows more imprdssive and kind of strongly experienced, yet enjoyable.
A hobby or a well running liked work project mistaken for just some artifact bought without any interest in such, may look surprisingly intensive and well carrying.

In Finland the weathers of the four seasons are easier to live if one looks at the natural tree species, tiny wild flowers, wild grasses and other natural plants and animals of the area. Lijewise one could guess that also in warm countrues the natural plant and animal species of that climate and area would teach the weathers, be nicely refreshing etc. While there of course usually are also beautiful big garden flowers, fine foreign tree spe ies etc, but those are somehow not as finely tuned, not refreshing, just kind of stunning but without such skills in living in the local environment. So in Finland the ordinary answer is to have garden flowers etc in gardens but at the edges, street sides etc just ordinary local plants, local trees, etc that happen to grow there.
Solutions to lufe's common problems are taught in school: what are the basic life skills with which such problems often vanish. For example to stucking to the same circles much too much, help following civiliced values with good quality and always in everything.
Taiwanese seem squeezed by Chinese influencies, yet sometimes when one gets slme glimpse of what the Chinese influences there are, those seem to be aimed at helping the even more squeezed, for example those who do not have life outside engineering. So I guess the Taiwanese could from that point of view communicate more detailedly what is and what is not the problem, and end up in something wider life circumstancies via followed wise values and good quality.

As a child I read quite many adventure books, mostly good quality old boys' adventure books, since I liked the Finnish nature and admired wild animals and wanted to be somehow good for the society. Some of the most famous books were Swedish or maybe by Swedish speaking Finns, telling of chilren's lives with gardens and adventures, but beautiful though those tales and views were, those books tended to take away my own experience of our garden, the beauty and naturality of it, like passing under a low apple tree branch just for the enjoyment and natural complexity of it, intertwined with the Finnish traditional civiluced possibilities in life, and instead after reading when one went to the garden such beauty got replaced by unability to enjoy or undersrand such, as if someone had borrowed a famous outer form without understanding the values in it and the need for civiliced rationality to support such, and there was left only some technical form with social obligations more unwisely than before. So adults had mistaken famoys books as wise instead of as beautiful fakes. For a thing to last there needs to be values safeguarding it, upon which it is build and maintained, plus good enough quality, for example school's civiliced wisdom instead of justt fajes and guesses, and for example one shoukd notice that neighbouring individuals often hsve different valyes and different grounds for their position, for example one social and lying and another safeguarding the good of the society and of the world.
Finnish cultural wusdom or the picture of the world of the nature sciences which my parents were fond of, says that a natural living environment is important for humans and other living beings. Even though most people nowadays live in cities, natural functioning of biological beings and human societues may demand a certain amount of natural elements in the environment, which abd how many and of which kinds snd how much of them may vary a lot between individuals and situations, but it is likely that natural functioning of all the needed sides of ghe society would demand at least some individuals or groups having very natural living environment even if others don't have. Since we cannot predict the future, and in any case, it is good, surest to have at least the traditional forms of natural life and a natural living environment, with which it has been good to live here, so gardens, some recreation areas with forests, lakes, parks, trees, lawns, some grasses and flower pots are needed, likewise local farming without arupt or unwise changes in habits, etc.
A tree branch in the garden offers varied sensory stimuli when one wishes for such. It is structured and atmospheric with clear concretical characteristics like sturdy or slender young, sensitive or on old good tracks, etc. Such is good for observation abilities which is good for objective thinking and skills, and so good also for school work.
When I was young, I comoared the rythm of winter or spring time's bush or tree branches to thinking perspectives of different people with their typical fwatures, like long but narrow steps in thinking or short but more practical, and so the different professions had their own meaningfjl typical choices of such, likewise areas of life.
Sturdy or sensitive etc like the structures and atmospheres of plant's branches, flowers, etc, is good vocabulary for sports skills, especially in sports kinds of variations in ways of doing, but also in perception abilitues, balancing whokes, emotional wisdom of life and how situations develop and choosing healthy courses in lufe situatilns and in single things done while taking into account near future and long term health, happiness and skills. In this sense life resembles things interesting in dance.
10th of March 2024 A Finnish propaganda song, is it from World War II, but with the above text of mine could help locally all nations and not especially Finland. The name of the song is something like "Throw away your claim of your square skills being better than the skills brought by good quality civiliced wisdom"
Famous Sovjet cavalry song, with the nature element one ought to reach high, yet it looks very war like, but I watched only the beginning
In work or in family life, stress often connects with too artificial ways of doing. One should live in a landscape like picture of the environment, with only healthy kind of goals and only basically healthy ways of doing.
An agitated state of mind as a response to one's own shortcomings, often is a result of unrealistically claiming to be very skilled, while in practice one lacks experience and maybe isn't at an emotional level so sure of choosing just this area of lufe, just in this form, for it's own sake. One just wanted points or a feeling of superiority. But skills grow where one is sincerely interested in such skills, in natural ways, finds them meanibgful in those amounts.
Tiredness often telates with the work not being natural leisurely action for the individual, or to free time lacking healthy kind of wider spheres of life.
Of religions I have learned that a large part of it is civiluced wisdom, especially wishing well in the wide world, with good quality objectivity supporting it, for example telling that fair play is important kn practice: so like in market economies, one sees what produces what, so it makes it possible to invest in benefical optiobs that the times need. Objectivity is backed up by sensitive observations, civiliced wisdom of good quality and healthy wisdom of life. Often a religious person gets much of one's wisdom and of the presumed effect of one's relugiousness from civiliced wisdom, very large amounts of civiliced wisdom, high quality objectivity, good will in the world, much responsible attitude and lots of wisdom of life.
But it often happens that others cannot estimate the amount of such wisdom of each individual, and so they jyst mark religion important instead of the values and wusdom important, and so it often happens that they guess something unclear but somehow blurred as if feeling and steady to be religiousness, and so they ghink that they ought to support such kibd of blindly, give it wisdom's place and values' place, and so such an individual often gets lots of social positiln over wisdom and over moral, and so it ends up suppirting shit, evil, social dominance, bacteria, attacks like killing, malicious lies, acting instead of sincere relations, commanding by lues instead of honesty and each individual's own wishes deciding about their lives. So one must jyst say that it isn't religion anymore, it is some lues and sociaö musperceptilns playing on the unaknoledged kniwledge of the world being of spirit and people mostly opposing civiliced values and the good of the future generations.
I bought today the domain Www.EasyHealing.info . That was just two days after I had noticed that there no longer is enough safety precautions, shelter for continuing making my Finnish healing blog. So I guess, since the English blog used to disturb too much making the Finnish blog, someone thpught that now is the time to inform of the English blog.
This thought came to my mind a few hours later or so.
" In learning healing one ought to pay attention to how different things done, associated with, ways of living, social situations, etc affect one's being, the situation and so one's health. Those are kind of cloud like things: the effect of the deed or whatever, and how long it lasts, what is the total effect, like for example what different kinds of foods cause, thinking of when one longs for just that kind of food, for example an orange maybe gets senses open, while a sweet dessert may make it easier to trust one's emotional wisdom of life, and musli sometimes makes it easier to think of farmer's life. Line like markings are usually sosially commanding, so one must discern vetween social bullying and maybe benefical relieving civiliced wisdom as a part of the fact content, but those too have some effects with some atmospheres which slmetimes help to discern what areas of life those are about and so mention more of the effects.
This blig's way of healing is to suggest as a cure the piece of healthy natyral ways of living and wisdom of lufe according to positive feelings, which people with such an illness often most lack, and teach them like to a beginner. "
Sports teach that one should use one's stomach muscles in moving and use one's whole body in natural ways.
Likewise emotional wisdom increases from using in natural healthy ways the stomach muscles as an individual in moving and thinking of life, and not mixing that with social relationships or sex.
At least via these two one's ability to stay healthy and move, living a natural healthy kind of life increases, gets some important form of understanding for some sides of life.
A natural way to use stomach muscles is at a moment of sincere felt motivation that wishes well in the world too so that it is not contradictory from the point of view of the ages old human nature as a part of the living world. So getting bored decreases such, and doing only so little of each thing that one stays motivated and interested, is good for using the stomach muscles naturally. Likewise in social relations associating in ways that make sense and are fair in the world, makes the relationships more natural and stomach muscles also more natural. Likewise of things done, so professionals rarely suit as forefigures, while the admirers of some areas of life may be good forefigures in this kind of touch in life.
Also in thinking it is good to use stomach muscles naturally, kind of see the structures in a landscape like view as such as they are, instead of transforming the landscape because of taking sides or overrunning some quality criterions or values.
I have been wondering why I am so sleepy and unactive. I have noticed that if there is anything really negative in my life, someone has marked it healthily normal and the only occasion to wake up and get some home chores done, kind of as if a possible start for my own active life, except that it is so negative that I would prefer dying. Yet the problem seems to be that foreigners consider Finnish ways somehow too positive and naive to exist as anything else than a theater scene hiding murders, torture, evil, etc. So I do not quite know how it is possible for the rest of the world to exist and be alive if this Finnish level looks much too good to be allowed to flourish by it's own virtues. Like, school was for most or many just memorised knowledge, without following civiliced values in social life etc, except between like-minded maybe. So is even that too much for foreigners? One cannot build the world upon that. Much less if the rest of the world is worse in what good is allowed.
But anyway, the kind of social life school taught was much better. It was civiliced values followed with common sense and good quality and wisdom of life with healthy ways of living, this in all social matters, in all kinds of matters with all, allowing each individual make oneself one's own life's choices of hobbies, jobs, ways of doing, friends, dates, etc, but leaving room for others too. Follow the rule "Live and let others live" all the time in everything, see https://learntalents.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-christmas-song-i-am-not-seeking-for.html . And wish well for the world, good life for all fairly, now and in the future, and if there is time travel, wishing well for the past generations too, and for all living beings.

The Zen Buddhist enlightenment is often described that after one moment of insight "All had changed, yet nothing had changed." The world had stayed very much ghe same, but one had found a good way of living in it. One felt happy and fullfilled, especially of the sights and sounds of nature and of the meaningfulness of things done at the level of understanding and one's own ages old nature. It seems to have much to do with individual ways of doing, like the varying weathers and learning skills demand: doing things in a good way every moment, like is good for the individual and for lufe. Just standing by and taking part only sociallt, without personally liking the hobby or whatever at hand, does not bring that feeling of meaningfullness, that ages old wise way of living. But so instead of not being tued to pkace or culture, each one could find such happiness best just where one likes the climate and the wusdom of lufe in the local ways of living. And civiluced wisdom togeyher with sincwrely wishing well in the wude world can lift the experience to more healthily happy and well workkng.
Wishing well for the world, often may make one invest in wisdom, trying to learn how thing would be well everywhere, like is good for the world. Then it is much easier to sinilarly wish that one's body would be well at every place and side of lufe, and so one lears of healing obeself to fully healthy and livibg as healthy and happy as a part of the wide world.
