A few posts ago I spoke about the fall. I would write about it later I wrote.
This is the moment.
On Wednesday February 2 I had a difference in opinion about behavior in traffic. A taxi driver didn't signal that he wanted to turn right.
I was crossing the street and waited for him to pass. I made sure he didn't had the signals on and made it clear to him.
Many things happened. But the main the main thing is that I hit him in the face after being spit.
He wanted to go to the police. I have talked with the police (the police is on the radio now, what a coincidence)
The police officer told me that I could try mediation. I could do that, but no luck sofar.
I had a justify myself for the head of the department and she reports to the director. I know them both from the Council meetings. It's such a shame.
Overcoming setbacks is a part of climbing Maslow's mountain.

imaginable
15 years in jail how would that feel? I can only speak for myself. I think of the lost contacts with family and friends. Not so much with society, with life as it is.
Family and friends matter but society and life will be different. Both will be in another form. There will be life. Not as it was. Just as it is. Unimaginable if you look in the future. Looking back is easy.
I saw a report from an airport where 2 men waited for their sister from Iran. They haven't seen each other for 9 years. The reporter was astonished.
I thought of Ocean and her husband. 9 Years and 30 years no physical contact with family. I can't imagine what the welcome would be or can I?
I haven't seen and spoken my step mum in a 15 years. That hurts because I got so much to say, so many things to talk over. I feel we have 15 years to catch up. I feel that time is ticking but in a part of me time has come to a halt. She has been frozen in a time capsule.
That means 15 years in a prison cell for me. Minutes go by minute, days by days, but in a part of me time stopped. The strange thing is that I don't feel myself getting older in that particular spot, only wiser.
Maybe this post is all about responsibility.

freedom means responsiblity
On CNN Dick Cheney, former vice President of the USA said that the policy of President Obama endangered Americans. I have to laugh. He is past, passé, finito, histoire, vergangenen Zeit, verleden tijd. So why does he make that statement?
Does this man feel any responsibility for the things that happened? Guantanamo Bay, Abu Graib? Waterboarding?
Dick Cheney you're as guilty as can be.
The USA under the Bush administration were harmful to the open society. Protecting America's values it was called. Freedom expresses it all. If the republicans were still in power, a massive protection wall would be created to stimulate the own economy. (where is freedom when wealth is at stake?) That protection wall denies that America's power is borrowed power. China and other investors don't want the protectionists to rule the USA and the world. And America has to please them.
America and freedom? I think it's becoming a nightmare.
Freedom of speech is one of the 4 freedoms but I had the feeling while editing this blog that I didn't write down things I wanted to say. Possibly that's a matter of taste.
