Globalisation

Have I ever told you that, for some reason, the 13th of the month appears to be the date on which I simply do not find any time to write something? Well, yesterdays 13th was another one of those, as I was searching for an appartment to live somewhere else for my study in policework. Hence, being busy, I could not write. Let us change that!

Todays topic will be of the everlasting, nowadays anywhere to be found globalisation and how much I simply can not stand it. For those who do not know what it means i will put it simply: Every company tries to be succesfull globaly for more profit, basicly. Therefore, they have to adjust to every market there is worldwide and try to have the biggest audience. The simple fact that we can have food from different countrys or just travel whereever we want on the globe is a very easy way to see how much we have been globalized. Screw ones own country, to put it short and sweet.

Know, while I do know about american patriotism and how much many people try to achieve just that and are very proud of their country, as a german there are many difficulties with that. You see, history has told people worldwide that all germans are nazis and are very intolerant if it comes to any other religion or culture in general. Therefore, in the age that I grew up in, i was fed up with being a tolerant human and try not to judge people by their cover. You know, just like books just for human beings.

That being said, I did grow up to be able to differentiate between people from different cultures but still being able to respect them, without caring for their culturale background. But here is my question: Why do we have to suffer and endure the damn problems that my ancestors have made? It has been nearly 70 years since the second World War has ended and even my birth was not until 47 years after that and we are still judged for whatever the nazis did back in the old days. (Ha, see what I did there?)

Here is the catch, guys and gals: Not every freaking german person is a nazi. Heck, the whole thing started because of some stupid austrian guy who thought it would be funny to conquer whole Europe and even more, if he had the chance. If anything, one could blame us to be so gullible to believe the dumb nonsense that guy told us. Then again, even then I have nothing to do with them. There may have been ancestors of mine, but we learned. Get over it already. Stop feeding us tolerance, we got it already.

If you think now: "What does that have to do with globalisation?" I might just give you the answer. Because of our history, we are nearly unable to leave out all those people who want to get in to our nice country. Dumb people, who live here but are unable to speak our language or do not even want to learn it. And all that was just made possible by my topic today. Well, thank you history.

Authority.

For everyone thinking that this is going to be really interesting: Maybe. For all the others thinking I have a problem with authority in general: Wrong. I respect authority. Best seen in the fact that I really want to become a police officer and therefore shall be respected as a person holding authority. Alas, as we know in germany that is rarely the case. However, I am getting off topic.

My problem with authority in this way is the fact that it is sometimes given to people without them earning it in any way or are actually able to be a respectfull person. Now it can be difficult to act as a person with authority but in certain positions in our world it is needed. Very needed.

As an example I am going to take my late work: There I had a lot of people standing above me, careerwise and were therefore in charge of me and telling me what to do. However, in some cases I am not even the only one wondering how some of them were set as persons in charge. Bosses. Why is he our boss, if he doesn't even really know what the hell we are doing here? Yep, a very common question in my late workplace.

Now, there is particular person I would like to address there. It's a woman, but that is not the problem. She was working in a different part of my work before and was later assigned as my boss with no knowledge of what we were doing exactly. And that woman is supposed to tell me how to do my job? Really? I will not even go so far to say that, in general, my respect for a person with authority has to earned. If you are not able to tell me "Shut up and do your job right" in the face, I will not respect that person. Regardless of their position on the paper.

There is another catch to my story of that woman. Later, I actually found out that her contract to work with us would not have been prolonged, if she had not applied for that assignment as my boss. So someone who was meant to be thrown out anyway is now boss in my former workplayer. Yep, that really happened.

See the problem? Authority is handed out like candy to persons who do not deserve or can handle it correctly... Actually, that is a good summary, I will end it with that.

'till next time.

Return.

Hello there. It has been quite some time now, has it not? Whether there will be someone to read this is up to the stars to tell, but I will happily continue writing, considering it is one of my mostly done hobbies. I really spent a lot of time writing, I even have two novels to write right now and it is fun as hell! There are so many ideas that I still want to put in them and if I think about it - they probably will not be finished untill 2017. It already took me three years to get where I am now, so it is not very unrealistic.

But back to business. I have been very busy during the time of not writing and there are many reasons. I am still as strong willed as ever, but I still lack the self-esteem to encounter women, which is what I have been workin on for a while now. Alas, that is not important. The most important thing is that all my trials to become a police officer are over. And I passed them all! Therefore, beginning on October 1st, my studies will continue. The bad thing about it being that I will have to move to another town and I really am not the person for a move to a different place.

However, I am still looking forward with my eyes wide open to see where humanity will go to continue their descend to hell. Since I am no angel myself, even though I love the image of that, there is a chance of me holden open the door in hell. Or I am gonna sit in purgatory. I propably should not have read the Divine Comedy, makes my picture of the afterlife very blurry.

Anything else happened? I am going to quit my job for my co-workers are such big jerks that I just can not stand to get along with them, even if it is just untill October. The reason? Will be mentioned in another post, which, of course, will be back on a 13th. Which one I do not know yet.

Fare thee well.
