Unbelievable!  Good afternoon! Last week a video went viral displaying another case of brutal and reckless bullying between a handful of 13- year old rowdies and a 68- year old female school bus monitor somewhere in Rochester in the west of New York State. This fact alone sounds unbelievable, but wait until you hear the details, which to me -as clearly as day- present actual threats even physically as well as cruel verbal harassment. The outpouring empathy worldwide was started by a Toronto resident by the name of Max Sidorov by spontaneously calling a fund raising campaign into life. Thank you, Mr. Sidorov, you truly are a beautiful spirit in a world of morons!
First, I'd like to comment on an upsetting article I stumbled across this morning by Chris Kelly.
Mr. Kelly, who gives you the right to put in words and on paper a demand as offensive as this one? You are earnestly suggesting that Karen Klein, the woman that was verbally hacked to pieces, should give 15 thousand dollars back to those who hired her for the job of a school bus monitor!
Why hold her accountable for having been put into this kind of job when we all know that it was never her but her employer's fault if you will? Since when is it our job to evaluate ourselves as to whether we are not just eligible but certainly also capable of staying in charge? All but too easy to accomplish a good job working as a school bus monitor, I guess. As a former teacher myself, let me tell you, Mr. Kelly, the world looks different from the outside.
Now to the kids involved in this particular incidence. Shame on all of you! Just like Karen, I don't care about those superficially and hastily scrambled together apologies either. It does not take a soul- searcher to sense that none of those are heartfelt but rather a panicky reaction and an alert cushion with regard to possible legal consequences. Nothing else!
And to the parents of those rotten bastards, I would like to address the following: You have clearly failed! You should be ashamed of yourselves and your offspring!
However, what is really bugging me here is the fact that I haven't heard a single word from the kids' school up to this day. What are they intending to do about all this? Are there going to be any consequences at all, or are they planning on letting things go just because fortunately school is out?
If not them, the Superintendent is clearly called upon stepping into action, don't you think so? Anyway, I, for my part, am still waiting for any reaction, any statement, just anything but continuous silence. - Karen Klein is well- advised to go and take action. Pressing criminal charges would definitely set an effective example to the juvenile predators, as nothing else will knowing that due to that kids' gloves politics in this country no action on parts of misbehaving or abusive kids ever has serious consequences. Last but not least, I do have one suggestion for Karen Klein as far as all the donations raised. Some of the money might indeed be used well and wisely in a Klein- Foundation for bullied victims. Just an idea. I certainly understand that her family comes first as to enjoy some time of financial freedom.

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)

Seelenpartner, Zwillingsseelen, ... Alles Aus Einer Einzigen Seele (II)   - Die Dauer unserer Zusammenkünfte mit anderen Seelen mag von einigen Minuten bis hin zu einer Stunde, einem Tag, einer Dekade oder sogar darüber hinaus variieren. Das zeichnet uns grundsätzlich alle aus. Beziehungen lassen sich niemals zeitlich messen sondern vielmehr in geteilten wie gegenseitig beigebrachten Lebenslektionen und kommen durchaus auch zwischen Seelengefährten, Zwillings- und rein theoretisch auch unter Parallelseelen vor. Letztere aber treffen recht unwahrscheinlich zur selben Zeit zusammen. - Lasst mich zuerst auf das Konzept der Zwillingsseelen, Zwillingsflammen oder auch Zwillingsstrahlen eingehen. Kurz zusammengefasst, handelt es sich hierbei um zwei Hälften EIN und DERSELBEN Seele, die zu Anbeginn der Zeit in absolut harmonischer Koexistenz lebten. Selbst als wir uns als Seelen von DER Quelle an sich abspalteten, um uns letztendlich zu individualisieren, waren wir unverändert eins. Jede ...
Buy small and local   Hi everybody! - Coming from a tiny country like Austria, one might assume that globalisation is just a phenomenon tailored for larger nations, but no, it has also been affecting us all across Europe. Globalisation itself is of complex nature, and even though I'm not planning to write about globalisation per se today, it somehow dictates our overall shopping behavior by bringing in more and more big box chain stores worldwide which sets the general trend for methodically and eventually putting local small family- run as well as individualists' shops out of business. In the 70ies I remember mom and dad taking us along to a wide range of stores from the baker to the butcher, the grocer's, the florist, the hard ware place, the electrician, the tobacco store, etc. What great memories our weekly trips to the market created for us. There we would hand- pick fresh fruit, produce, and other delicacies. Sometimes we would even get a piece of fruit or a carrot fo...
College or no college - That's the question    Now the time is here again for high school graduates to venture off to college and university. I still, to this day, remember being thrilled and overly excited to start as a fresh(wo)man in a new place where studying would go hand in glove with partying for the next few years. I love to see every one's kids swarm out and flock together in college districts and on student campus terrains. Most teenagers get accepted somewhere even though often at second or third choice sites, but they will all have to face one and the same question which is, at what price? Unless you are granted a scholarship, three years and plus of college education costs you an arm and a leg, and if you keep going for more profound specialization, you will be in debts up your neck by the time you have got your PhD. Then what? Go and spit out job applications like a ball machine hoping that someone is going to hire you - unless of course you were lucky eno...
