The Final Scene

of a great movie

What's Going On

Back in late 1989 or early 1990 I was walking across the Domplatz in Münster, when a man came up to me begging for money. Yet he did it with a sense of entitlement, like I owed him something, stating that he was from Eastern Germany and I had to support him financially just for being this. At the time I was very annoyed and realized - though I do not recall if I actually told him - that I have more in common with the Italian, Portuguese, even the Turkish people whom I grew up with than this man.

In the light of some recent events in Dresden I definitely wonder if this peculiar sense of entitlement deriving from some perceived birthright is still prevailing in some people.

What If

people started working together instead of competing with one another.

If There is

one artist of the 20th century who would be my favourite, Barnett Newman would be it.

And while you are at it, check out his writings as well. They are at once profound and hilarious. I certainly would have liked to know him, and indeed I once listened to somebody who actually did.

A Philosophical Question

"Scheint die Sonne auch für Nazis/ Does the sun also shine for Nazis?"

My answer: Since everything is but perception and a Nazi cannot escape his/ her distorted mind, they will never ever be able to simply enjoy it.
