<\/a>The blurry part cost a lot of money.<\/p><\/div>\n
Sure, it makes sense to say that picture is about the sharp part. However, the not sharp part is the package that presents it. Flowers on a table in the restaurant aren\u2019t the point of lunch, because you don\u2019t eat them, but they are a nice thing to see.<\/p>\n
There are several parameters that define usability of a lens, the way I see it. It\u2019s how sharp can it get things that are in focus, how close it can focus, how much can you open the aperture to both gather light and vary the depth of field, what\u2019s the focal length\/range, does it introduce optical mess into the image (CA, flare etc.) and how convenient\/practical is it to work with. The ability to blur out the background in ways that will look nice might not be important if you shoot only landscapes in ways that make everything sharp, or if you shoot portraits in a studio in front of a uniform background, then bokeh rendering doesn\u2019t matter. If that\u2019s all you do, great, you\u2019ll save lots of money on lenses that are designed to render good bokeh. Good for you.<\/p>\n
Another thing crossed my mind, regarding the last article. Someone is asking themselves why God allowed this trap to be created as a test for us, that it\u2019s not right to subject us to such a traumatic and potentially fatal test. I\u2019m rolling my eyes right now, because God didn\u2019t ask us to do anything he, himself wasn\u2019t willing to do, either male or female. Remember the guy called Jesus? Born into a carpenter\u2019s family in a barn because they had no room in the taverns and his family wasn\u2019t important. Taught things that irrevocably altered the Western civilization and got crucified for it, which is one of the nastiest ways to die. Then rose from the dead to show that death is not the end, and afterlife isn\u2019t some vague shadow world.<\/p>\n
Or Krishna and his girls? Oh, he had a super easy life, being born in a jail cell where his evil uncle imprisoned his parents because of a prophecy, and they smuggled him out and gave him to some peasants to raise, so he grew up as a shepherd instead of a prince. Also, everybody kept trying to kill him, and then his best friend and his family got exiled into the jungle, which ended up in a bloody mess. It\u2019s all told like a nice story in the books, but think about how you\u2019d have handled half of that stuff.<\/p>\n
Not only was God here multiple times as male and female, but s\/he also doesn\u2019t actually pick fancy and rosy incarnations. Some are, just to show that s\/he doesn\u2019t get distracted by material wealth and power. Some are absolute shit, like that of Jesus, and still major world-altering scripture is written about how well he did. I won\u2019t even get into the level of horror I had to deal with, or the stuff my girls had to deal with. That never stopped people from thinking we had it so easy compared to them, who had it so hard. God\u2019s incarnations always look so easy and effortless – because God is so much more transcendental, holy and pure than you are. God doesn\u2019t wallow in mud because there\u2019s no mud in his path, but because he just doesn\u2019t feel like wallowing in it. God doesn\u2019t rise above temptation because s\/he wasn\u2019t subjected to it, but because s\/he is holy. (I\u2019m writing God as dual gender because it\u2019s an equation with two solutions). You think you have it hard, but it\u2019s not true. Satan used the absolutely worst, cruellest and filthiest tricks to deceive Divine incarnations. I think he was probably afraid he\u2019d get killed immediately if he tried that shit on someone weaker, but he really took off his gloves with God, thinking God can take it. I don\u2019t even wish to talk about that stuff, it\u2019s that nasty. And yet, God did so well you think s\/he had it easy. Sure s\/he did; Sati for instance willingly entered a pyre and burned herself to death rather than listen to her sinful father slander Shiva. Biljana\u2019s childhood was the siege of Vukovar, being shredded by tank grenade shrapnels, evacuated from the basement of the Vukovar hospital by the Serb war criminals who executed her uncle and imprisoned her father in a concentration camp, and she then had to live in exile, only to be told today how easy she\u2019s having it, by some fucking asshole entangled in his self-inflicted worldly drama, who thinks he\u2019s having it hard. Romana also spent her childhood in exile listening to spoiled teenage girls crying about their new shoes getting rained on while she was thinking whether her father, defending Usora in a ditch with a shotgun against Serbian tanks, will survive or get killed like the people in the neighbouring village did. Yeah, God had it so easy, you have it so hard, go cry me a river so that I can piss into the river of your tears, you treacherous bastards. You forget God when you\u2019re doing well, and you forget God when you\u2019re not doing well. Meanwhile, Rukmini and Jesus never forgot God, regardless of how they were doing, imprisoned or crucified or laughing, which is why people pray to them, and nobody gives a shit about you.<\/p>\n
No, you\u2019re not having it hard, God is having it hard having to listen to your crap.<\/p>\n

Recently we bought a coffee machine, after postponing it for 7 years or so, and Biljana looked up all kinds of coffee, and of course she went down one of those rabbit holes on the Internet, with scientific research of … Continue reading
