Master or Slave

Sitting in a coffeehouse and watch the people go by. Next to me the newspaper and I just read again of so many negative things going on in the world. Well, I know the press loves to write more then ever about negative things, but I do wonder. 
Wonder about all the reasons why things happen the way they do. Seems the world again is going more down then up and more in dark times then sunny times. Is this actually logical?
Do we need the bad times again and again to remember us what we should change and what we do?
Why can't we go the easy way? Or is it the easy way we think and then remember that the negative way is the hardest step to take? 
Do we now pay for all the last years were we loved to ignore to make it right. I mean let's face it. History is written in our books over and over again and lies are on our way. To many lies and to many wrong faces. 
How come that we can't leave hate behind? How come that we still have man with fascist mind? How come that all the extreme religion organizations can still tell people what to think and do? 
We never really took the enemy for real after they have lost. To many did go on with their life without any harm to them or even punishment. 
So how come after all the terrible things that have happened that we still are on the same road?
Don't they always say that life does change after those things?

The truth is, no matter how many terrible things may happen it does not mean that people change or do the real change. But why? 
Yes most believe, truly believe the are going to but then the every day life comes to you and time passes by and suddenly you're so far away from what you wanted once and many forgot or have hide it somewhere back in their memories what had to be done. 
Is it the fear, is it the unknown of the new times? Or are we just to lazy or is it that mankind is very good in telling them self a lie and giving reason not to do it today but still telling their must be a change?

So yes, we pay for all the things we have never done and all the things our parents have never done and our grandmothers and - fathers. But now some of you may say it's not their fault it's the politics fault and the industry and the rich man and the banks and the minister who lied to you. 
And you, you did not do anything to make this happen? Well you did. Now some may say what can a man, a single man do against those big, big lobby?
You can stand up and have courage. 
Isn't it crazy in next to every miracle, in every child story, every movie or TV show you can see that it is possible to stand up. You've ben thought but why don't you follow, if you do follow all the wrong things easy? 
Is it really that easy? Or have the BIG once the power and drag you in in the way they want you to be? To be lonely, afraid, unknown of your own potential or have most of us just become victims of our self? 
Why do many think we are so helpless, if we are not. Why do we close our eyes, if it would be better to have them open and know where you sett your steps?
Is it because mankind has thought them self the fair into blood? Is it that mankind has learned to fight a war instead of building up a home for everyone. Has mankind learned to much to kill and to close the mind over the truth? 
What truth? The truth, that is it not the fault of an organization or a BIG thing, it is.... human being are doing it. In good and in worse. 
But the test of power, the devil power seems more worth for too many. To stay blind is also for too many a way they choose and say they are just a victim and can't change. 
It's a lie but we like the lie.
Most do, dont they?
That's why we have new man with fascist mind, new man who build the bombs, new man who likes to see children starve to dead, new man to keep and blind eye on things wish never should happen to anyone or anything els who lives. 

So sad and it is easy to get angry about the fact that people like to be stubborn and stupid. But it never helps to be angry, it never helps to kill, it never helps to fight with the same weapon the enemy has. It never did and never will. 

Well, we all now this but then we forgot. It's like the silence who is around you and like the dead. We know and then forgot. Forget it every time we've remembered. 
So we don't need to think about it but most of our acting has to do with it. We do our choices known or unknown we always do. It is actually impossible to not make a choice so no one can say it's the fault of another one but we can tell the truth of compromises we took and take. We can see what we do and mostly we know where this will lead us. 
So how do we get our self to leave the path of lies?
Because all the lies have lead to far to many wars, to religions who made people stay stupid and telling things which are in no way what the most religion books are telling and after all you have a responsibility no one can take away from you, not even the priest or the politic man or or or. 
And while we all should know that each of us is equal and should have the same rights, we far to often make it otherwise. Most even think we are better then animals, but far to many are worse then them. But am I telling you something new? No. 

But are we Master or Slave in this game of life?
Is it about that? No.
It is surly not to take a side. Even know it may feel like this sometimes.
So it is a choice between our dark side inside us or the other side. We have both side in us, which is naturally cos like we all know if there is sun, there is shadow but we have a choice how big the shadow will be and how we will live. 

Above all this there is the question how to reach those who are not awake? Or should I ask you can we reach them? For we know very well that blind people are not to reach, no matter what we do. An extremist will never listen to you. The politic never cares about you and the industry owner will only listen to money or something else then you. 

So that means we can't do anything about the war regions? Well, actually never in the way we used to.
Meaning? There is a chance for change but it will not only take time, we believe we don't have and will cost a lot of lifes. 
Yes, many will die and many will be harmed at the end many will leave our way and be hurt. Seems mankind need this pain to really say yes to change in real. 
Lots of victims have been on our ways to change things in all the time we know about. Since we know and get to know our past with archeology we know the offerings, the pain, the mistakes and the dark sides, but also many good success and beautiful things have come to us. With this knowledge we can say that in our future there is a positive change possible if we really try and start with our own life. 
Hope. Yes, there is hope after all but for many people help will come to late and in some areas in the world peace will be a strange word for the next years too. 
Its human who do all the bad things and humans who do all the good things. 

To get awake and start living a life which includes others in love and peace is maybe a hard and painful way but nevertheless more then ever what we need if we will have a future. Just now many people are good in forgetting to make a good future and protest against each other and have connections which I remember we had long ago too and were so wrong and are it today too. Just remember the communist where working together with the fascist in their beginning and now the muslim are working with the nazis and all seem to forget that in their hate against another group their hate each other as well and will kill if the time is right. 
A mother will wonder why her child did say yes to such cruel thing and the father can only answer that the kid is blind. 
This has by the way nothing to do with god, it is human kind who did and do. 
So which side are you on?
And again... This is not the question. It is what way will you give to yourself and others to live by? No one needs to judge another man, but we do and forget that we don't see the whole truth. Things have become very complicated although it is very easy in the same time. 
Actually it is just to decide. 
That's the challenge. Thats the hope. 
And that was a blog with not a special topic but with a topic to include many happenings inside. 
I had the feeling that this is needed as we read of hate crime, of nazis and blind people because religion made them blind and of hate because people have learned hate to long and forgot that there is indeed an other way to live a life. I felt that we should really try to focus on the positive things we can do and live up to. Then we have a chance. There is still good things in the world which are worth to fight for, to open your eyes for to open your mind for. You have the courage inside you. Everyone has it. Just remember. Remember what you know inside you. The time for the next change has long ago arrived and if mankind will come to a better future we have to stand up and focus on the good things and remember. Use the good part of your ego and stop feeding the bad part. Stop feeding people who have loved their ego to much and only listen to the power of their own ego which exclude everyone and is at any cost to survive. 
Remember they are only people. Just like we. They only have the power because of you. Fight against them now? No. Fight for what you want! Ignore them as possible. Concentrate yourself on things you can affect. Start with yourself. Love yourself and forgive yourself for the past and let it go. Yes we have to let the past go. No matter what, there is no reason to keep on with it. It's actually stupid to keep on with the past cos you can't change it, but you can change the future by thinking the right things now. Who has began is unimportant and everyone who says it is is wrong. It's the past. Yes we got hurt. Yes we lost. Well make it better now. Let the mistakes teach you to do it the other way. The way of love and peace and respect. Trying to find those who are responsible for all the things in the past and the situation now is like trying to tell your toe that it is his fault that you went the wrong way. Because it was you and only you who did and nothing is wrong but we do mistakes. So stop saying you can't do it because you can but maybe you won't. Yes I am sorry if someone is telling you that you in that case have no right to grumble about your situation, because it is your own fault. So seeking the fault at others is in that way hilarious. 
Again, there is hope. Just remember. You can do it.

Sweden and a new way has open up

What a beautiful day. The sun is upon the sky, it's warm and summer is on it's best. No holiday season for me but a new job and a new town and new challenges. 
Again my ways have lead me to Sweden. Gothenburg is it now where I started my summer work as a nurse for people at home who needs help and for old people in nursing homes. 
Thought the education is the same in both countries the work is quite different. As a nurse in Germany you have to do a lot of work which includes washing, taking off and on the clothes of people, making the meal and then of course all the classic nurse things like all around the medicine, discussion, advices and working together with the doctors. 
In Sweden it is more about administrative working and thinking, talking a lot, having discussion and doing advices and giving out the medicine and also do a bit of doctors work and taking all the blood to the labor. So, while in Germany the work with nurse assistants is very close and you have a lot heavy body work to do, it is in Sweden less working with the assistants and no heavy body work, though you talk a lot with the assistants and tell them what to do, for they are allowed to to more then in Germany- like giving medicine -the nurse made sure before. 
And while taking a blood test as a nurse in Germany is only allowed in hospitals and doctors practice it is a very common thing in Sweden to do. 
A challenge for me, as this was five years ago my last time I did take a blood test on someone else. 
But as it is I have the luck of colleagues some came from other countries too so they know very well the problem you can get into when you start a work in another country and with this I also mean the language. It's best to know more then some words otherwise they will not help you that much for this is too much work for them. They already have enough to do with they own work and so helping you a bit is o.k. but you have to understand them. Especially when you are going to work with a lot of people and even have to make calls you should have a good way into the new language. 

Just now it is the summer job and then the next one till the end of the year, but back to the summer job- things go on a bit slowly in many ways for it is holiday time in Sweden and this means that many people are not to reach, to ask or even the bureaucracy can take time cos many stores and offices are simple closed the hole month. 
And as we talk about bureaucracy, well it is everywhere your luck with the people who work in the offices. So same old story in most countries. Have patience and be positive, know your rights and don't be shy to sometimes to protest what they may tell or write you. 

But where do I live now? Not in Berlin, although I still have my flat there but for not long. As it is in Sweden it is known that you have to have your luck to find a flat or a house to rent or by is a thing of time and big luck and of course the connections you have. So I am a lucky guy to live and rent a room at a friends friend home. Because without your personal number you won't get much here and won't get far as this number is kind of the most important thing in every day life. This number gives you the right to go to a doctor and please for help and not paying all on your own. This number can give you a mobile you need for private life and job. This number gives you the right to rent a house, a car or whatever. But be sure you don't only have this number, make sure they write you in the book of folk- kind of, because then your are to find in the system and then you are free to do all the things I named. Otherwise it is just a register number who doesn't help much and you are paying for everything but have no right t.ex. for health insurance. 
If you now think this is enough with challenges, you're wrong. What you're gonna eat. This is to find out and so I am out shopping on different places, looking on the prices and quality and taste. As much as I already know a lot of the food in Sweden, there is still much to learn when you live here and really have to buy for life. Sweden is after all not a cheap country, even though your wage is not the baddest. 
But going out is really expensive as a you may heard. The alcohol is a kind of bling bling hobby. Be sure you have money on the bank. A big beer can cost you around 9 Euro. Just one. But surly when you're out in summer in Sweden enough people will surround you because it may cost a bit, they do go out, have fun and meet friends. 
A thing I am very grateful for is, having friends, because I already have some friends in Gothenburg and this makes everything a bit more easier and I have someone I can ask. 
Last time, five years ago, I had some friends too, but I was not living in Gothenburg and worked in a little but very nice town called Skara. So it was mostly to be on my own which was fine and a very strange and good experience. But knowing my friends around me and being able to visit them in an half hour is making this new stay here much easier. Cos this time the work and the earnest and the new direction of my own future makes it kind of a hard work to get in. 
The first days I had my problems to hang with all the things and what people where talking. My head was telling me to take it slowly but I wanted to hang with, then my ear became hot for two days because I so much tried to listen, but here you see, you can be good in the new language but it is a difference if you have to deal with it every day. And I was so tired as I was never before when I started a new job on new places. Now all became much better. My brain does not need so long to start and become warm like a car to work best and my ears can hear better and better and all the slang and accents become better to understand for me and the times I feel tire are fading. Still there are challenges I know are coming but I will make it through everything. 
You know last time it was to prove if I could ever live and work in Sweden. 
I found out I could and felt home and do it till today. Last time I decided to move to Sweden but things went another way which I am lucky now. 
Now I tell you that I try it again and in the same time it's kind of moving for real. Cos I belong no longer to Berlin, though I have a lot of dearest friends there but also a lot all around the world. But you know, I just take it step by step now for I feel that if this seems not to work out at the end, it's less a problem, it's just the way it is. So I try my best and see what's coming. 
Maybe that's the real change when you visit and learn and live in other countries. The place you live is a place you live as long as it is meant to be and you have easy to go on to a new place. 
You can read and travel that way, but you learn more when you really travel and with that I mean not only the tourist streets but also to take the sideways. 

Is it about the people? Or is it about the work? I think those both are part of the decision but at last it is something inside you that makes the real decision to move to a new place. And when you have traveled a while and have also friends who did and do, you also learn there is always something to compromise. 
Well, then you .. maybe, you just do, because you feel free to do, although everyone is free to do so but most of us are so into the -but- and -if- and have reason they tell you, all because it's just the fear inside of change, of the courage you have inside. 
Sure many people will move to another country because it seems so much better and the work is better the people are nicer and on and on, but most never really took the sideways, never really stayed a longer time to really see how people live, work or even talk, many forget to watch TV or read the newspaper because if they did they would learn a lot about the country. So for many it is a big surprise when they do the move and suddenly all seems different. Some give up, some learn some never learn but stay. This is the way we do when we move. But to be true, however you do it, it is always right and when the time is over, then a new way is on to be walked through. You maybe live in Sweden and while watching the TV program you learn to become a lover of Great Britain. So maybe your steps will lead you there at the end in a couple of years. Everything can happen.
And now... some pictures I took...

"midsommar" in the park

one of the many ferries 

licorice ice-- you'll want it, it's like a drug!

EUROPE

Hej folks, it took me a while again.. am I just to lazy to write? NO. I just really want to write about things I care and not about something else... or like about the newest clothes, even know that those bloggers have often much more followers as I, but that is not something to care about... right...?!
This time the newspapers write a lot of the EU... that countries think about leaving the EU. Well they also write they leave in the same time Europe, but that is pure nonsense. You can't leave Europe. This is impossible, because Europe is an area, a connection of countries and it's culture. 

So they think about leaving the EU a organization a union who was made once under the idea of coming together, of getting stronger and of putting the best together and help each other more easier and also to be more powerful in economics and political culture. But it was never the idea of only being there for the banks and the rich and to teach and tell people what to do, how to live and what is aloud and is o.k. ... but this is what it went out.... 
The Idea is sold for money and even the bureaucracy became much bigger instead of smaller. 
That is what the common people are shouting at. That is what more and more little countries don't like and more and more people realize that it became an instrument to keep people stupid and quite and to make a human kind who has to obey and be slaves... modern slaves... as we aren't already those... in many ways... 
But yes, as much I like the idea of an union to get together I think it's more then late to start to change, although this is always possible, but as it seems for now, the union won't change in a healthy way..so I can understand very god if people start to talk about leaving the EU but stay part of Europe. 
We have an overregulation and so many rules which are too crazy and not really understandable... What is this god for...? 
And yes again, the last years the EU started to change its mind in what it is for us... seems like they became teachers... They act like people don't know what to do and are helpless, but they can decide and have all a mind... they can say if they want to smoke or not, if they want to ride a bike that or this way, they know the risk and the danger but forbid them and always warn them?! Please!
The funny thing is they warn and forbid and are inconsequent in the same time... Well money makes the world go round and people wonder... No doubt this action does not help much and makes people angry and getting ideas how to change things in a way so that they can go on with what they want.. like smoking... showing pics of ill and a black lung... well they just by a little baggage to put the cigarets in it or they by all those old cigaret case...
And then you can't vote for them direct neither vote them out or say that they have to leave... 
But can this be really something we want? That we try to find  something to deal with the stupid rules..? 
Last time I read about the question of cost when you live out all the danger and somethings happen... the cost of a free life... Well, did they ever done this when it's a bout people out of work.. the poor once, who gets money from the country, like Hartz IV in Germany... Did they ever ask them if its their own fault that they lost their job...? Where you unreasonable? But yeah the sooner someone dies the cheaper it gets... 
The freedom my dear is cheap but expensive are the old... the once who are around 100 years... ;-) 
We know that politics lie a lot but Brussels lies a very lot to us... and the EU is less workin' in the way the old idea was and still is and it is so sad that they go on making it worse.... Therefore I vote to leave the EU and stay in Europe... We will survive this better then we think and sometimes to make things little again helps more then to make 'em bigger...

LOVE & LIGHT
