Trying to think Positiv.

Siamese  cat




 "When a madman appears to be thoroughly sane, in deed, it is high time to put him in a straight jacket."  "Believe nothing you hear and only half that you see." "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity." EdgarAllan Poe.  "Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakes." "Thinking is difficult that is why most people judge." "Twelve experts gathered in one room equals one big idiot."  Carl Jung.                                                    I have visited 15 countries, but only in Tunisia I found out on the street the once most expensive cat in the world, Siamese, blue eyes, lovely soft white fur, dark socks and ears, face mask and dark tail. There is not just one poor little treasure, forced to hit the road, but several, a sign they had become fashionable, became an interesting source of income for breeders and are unfortunately no longer expensive and thus less appreciated. Exotic animals is what folks want. Well, if you yourself are not high class, at least your pet should be......Different world, in Cuba we once viewed a man taking his pig, on a leash, for a walk. Experts say pigs are intelligent and that we have more with them in common than most folks would like to hear. That is why it is possible to carry out forensic surveys on dead pigs. Following heavy rainfalls (some parts of Tunisia even got flooded) and several thunderstorms, only 3 cats attended my Cats' Table the next morning. Normally all my guests are punctual, so I got  worried. Luckily most of them turned up again the next day. I try to provide them with a bit of more nourishing and delicious food than the normal spaghetti, noodles, or just leftovers, some folks give them. But I don't want to criticize, in particular when poor people donate this. Cats are great pets, we see them as family members that deserve to be treated well. Carlo just adores my husband and wants to be always with him. I joke, "you are the love of his life, wonder what he sees in you....".            Some citizens in Tunisia ask: "Why does Germany hate us? We used to have a friendly relatonship." Well, I don't think that Germans hate Tunisia, though some changed their attitude, following terrorist attacks from ISIL. In addition, unfortunately, the German government turns a blind eye towards the suffering of Palestinians and their aid is like a drop in the ocean, in particular compared to the amount spent on weapons in support of the Israelian army. Whenever Netanyahu says something it is treated like an absolute fact, chiseled in stone. This is in complete contrast to the normal practice to not even call a murderer a murderer, in spite of being caught in the act, gun still smoking, he remains a presumed suspect until he has been taken to court and sentenced. Like a broken record German and US politicians continue to talk of Israelian "self-defence", though according to international human rights it is not the right belonging to the occupiers but to the occupied people. Strange that Germany, generally speaking, doesn't see his responsibility also for Palestinians. If Hitler had never been born, or Germany had deported him as a "person non grata", following his prison sentence, we could still have Jews, Palestians and Arabs living peacefully together, of this I am sure. Israel and US would be different, many European Jews, including scientists, famous writers, folks like Einstein, wouldn't have immigrated. Without the brutal Nazi state that Hitler created, they would have stayed in their country of origion. There would be less hate and revenge in our world, less money spent on destroying, more available for humanity. By the way, 30 German lawyers tried months ago to take the German government to court for violating his own laws, stipulating that no weapons must be send to conflict or war zone countries. I haven't heard the outcome.
