Read Think & Write

Lately, I started to question some things in my life that I would like to share.

Nobody asked you if you wanted that
Now you have to live and do not know how
But nobody knows better than you
So just do what you like

Most of my wake time I am working in an office. I earn enough money to live a good life with my family. I am a leader and people trust me and like to work with me. This is a good feeling but is this really a place where I should spend most of my lifetime? Something is missing. I am not creative enough and those days in the office are everything else than being creative. I mix some online learning into my day and also some writing in the morning but it seems not enough anymore. I need more time on my own. I would like to disconnect for longer stretches of time to read, think and write. Then I realize how selfish I am. It is always about me and not about the others in my life. I am forty years and still learning how to live a good life. It is simple but not easy. The inner fight will continue….

In a place full of hustle and bustle
at the place name 24/7
there I want to be an exception
and bend nobody

I live in Europe and my president is not an old man with bad manners. I should be happy because things could be worse but I am skeptical that our leaders are capable to create a better future for our kids and grandkids. I don’t have faith in our politicians and that they will stop us from ruining our planet. There is no real leader who is talking the truth and doing the right things. I love the United States but they failed to present the world a leader that we need to guide us through tough times and unite all nations.

I care about humans but I lately I started to care more about nature. We will not survive if we continue to deny the facts and don’t start to turn the wheel around. I understand why we all are so fearful. Because we have to lose a lot and can’t gain much in a lifetime. Except that we have done the right thing. And isn’t it that what we should expect from our leaders? They should not please us all the time. No, they should make tough decisions which are right in the long run for our race and our planet. Isn’t that exactly what we as a parent do with our kids because they don’t know better? And yes, most of the world population doesn’t know better — I included. Yes, I dream of a better world even if that means that my pretty cool world must change. I love my life and my opportunities and I would not be very happy if I should give up my car or my vacations in the Alps. But there are already intelligent solutions for all our problems. We humans are so good at inventing new stuff that makes life easy and comfortable. I know that we could continue to live a good life and simultaneously do the right things for our planet. All we need are intelligent leaders full of integrity with the desire to change the world for the better. Invest in education and infrastructure. Boost climate protection agreements and execute them. Encourage sustainable green energy projects. Make clear that our world does not tolerate any form of extremism neither left nor right. Zero tolerance. Make Religion a purely private matter. I could continue but I better go lift some weights and stop thinking what could be better. Instead, I try my best to live a good life and have a positive impact on my small community.
