I've been thinking about on how much inclusive worldviews frustrate. And in that, I realized what they really signify - decadence. They are an end that comes in steps, in phases. They are artificial destiny. It's what religions, in the end, all are, creation of destiny. Sometimes, when you listen to Fado for too long, it seems that they're

Don't feel so bad

As far as the sterotype of Germany, you can take comfort in the fact that I never did think much of the fact that Germany was involved in 2 world wars. Notice I said "involved". One person fueled it. But it was meant to be. Hell, if it never happened I would have never met my husband since his mother and family fled here. I always had a nitch for Germans, I certainly never seen world wars in them. Hell, we're (America) is about to start a world war. And I for one would hate to be stereotyped due to a group of people that have nar a brain cell to call their own.(Watch me get an FBI file for that comment... if I don't already have one)
However, I do see your point but please take comfort in the fact that they're all plenty of people who admire Germans. Admire the human spirt and the ability to move on with their lives. :)

And if you wanted to be technical... it's human to stereotype. It's very hard not to at least once a month. LOL At least for women. Har. Take care my friend and I look forward to your next post.

Knowing of only what I know from schools (cough) and of the stories that my husband's family told him, it was pretty much like a big group of bullies and that a good number of Germans didn't even want to fight for Hitler. That it was outta fear of being responsible for the wrath on their families if they did not comply. But at any rate... I truly feel like humanity, as sad and pessimistic as is may sound, needs to destroy itself to create new. Think of it as a cycle. Can't say that it doesn't scare me or concern me any less though. Doesn't give much comfort to know that beings capale of such wonderful and loving things could also destroy.
I know this is off the subject but I just have to ask... What is a "book cafe"? It sounds interesting..... Oh derrrrrr it's a library isn't it. Blonde moment... and I'm not ever blonde. LOL

Oh and also, for the record... please call me Robin. :)

The book cafe is a used books store with a cafe, where you can buy a book and read it to a good cup of coffee.

Yeah, you're pretty right. The nazi regime created an athmosphere of mistrust, nobody knew if the stranger would betray him to the regime. And well, anyone you meet can turn out to be a betrayer in such athmospheres.

Heck, it's the same when you get philosophical, when you ask yourself, what do I know? How do I know I exist? How do I know what I know? What makes me sure? Is that which makes me sure, trustworthy at all? This needs an antidote, I think, experiments of faith. When you do that, the former will help you provide you with earnesty, and when it all succeeds, there is what I want to call happiness, because I don't really want anything else. But there's still addiction, my worst enemy coming to me in the form of a slave.
