One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the attraction of amazing and creative people to the dark forces that bring suffering to the world. It could be that they think their love and light will conquer the darkness in these men. They will teach the men how to love… but it seems that they become a battery to power the violence and hatred.
Insipid at best and violent at their worst… the dark hearted always have big hearted people to help them further their selfish desires. Yes… deep in them they have light… but that light is hard earned. Giving to them never brings it out. The light shines through understanding ones own pain. Spoiling them never shows them that internal pain.
Leni could have turned her amazing talent against the injustice of the Nazis. Instead she turned a blind eye. 6 million men, women and children were murdered by her best friends.
Her light simply was used to highlight the will of her masters.

Love vs. Nove
This is a work in progress... literally and figuratively. I will post more is it comes to me.
In my life I have often wondered why I choose to love such difficult women. I have been doing a lot of contemplation lately and see that what I had for them was not really true “love” but neurotic love, “nove”. True love does mix in with neurotic love. This makes it difficult to untangle.
In all close relationships they both exist to different degrees. Only a fully enlightened being exhibits pure love on a total and consistent basis. The ratio in which they exist as well as the complacency we have about our nove indicate the amount of suffering we are creating in our lives.
Relationships based primarily on “nove” spread suffering to all people who love us.
Love is quiet… A whispering breeze that is sustainable and life giving.
Nove is loud… An inconsistent tempest that robs us of life force
Love is confident in things as they are and is fearless
Nove is filled with hope for change and is fearful.
Love is confident in its everlasting nature
Nove is filled with fear of abandonment
Love does not control or manipulate
Nove entrenches patterns of control and manipulation
Love is based on openness and honesty
Nove has secrets, lies and hiding
Love is energizing
Nove is exhausting
Love is relaxed
Nove is obsessive
Love builds strength and emotional independence
Nove coddles and creates emotional dependence
Love spreads joy to people beyond the relationship
Nove spreads suffering and pain to friends
Love grows
Nove degrades
Love honestly says I am happy with you and us
Nove dishonestly says “if only you would (do)X then I would be happy”
Love helps us meet each others needs
Nove is a struggle between the wants of one and the needs of another
Nove is all about equations
the phrases are said over and over again
just different "wants" and desires placed in X and Y
I think that it gets so mixed up in our culture
love songs are mostly nove songs
I feel if I juxtapose... it will bring some clarity
I want love in all my life
with all people I relate to
and those that I cannot relate to in such a way
their nove will be ignored

No Terminal Velocity on the Moon
http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/phy00/phy00814.htm
"Our moon has no atmosphere. High vacuum right down to the surface.A feather dropped on the moon from 100 miles above the surface would keep on accelerating at1/6 of earth-gravity (earth: 9.8m/sec2 or 32ft/sec/sec or 22mph/sec, moon: 1.6m/sec2 or 5.3ft/sec/sec or 3.6mph/sec)until it hit the surface at about 1600 miles per hour."
I was reading about craters as part of my daily fascination with something... There is an impact crater on the moon named Albategnius. The outer wall attains a height of 4,000 meters. I wondered how fast an astronaut would be travelling as he plunged towards the bottom.
