Walking A Fine Line

Walking A Fine Line - Even though I was born in the zodiac of Aries, I'm neither a daredevil nor a risk taker, but I usually weight the pros and cons of getting physically involved with potential harm.
I'm actually over- cautious as I would not want to lose my life in a careless or thoughtless act of stupidity. Not once have I read or heard that the boundaries are clearly marked for all of us in the angelic realm. Supposedly we all feel and know where these boundaries are and that we should not overstep these if we wish to stay safe. Let's say you want to go on a highway and you feel like going a little faster than the speed limit allows. No problem, you can speed up, but you see, this is exactly where the crux lies. There's not really that much of negotiation room as your guardian angels will only protect you up to a certain speed and that's it. Many times I've felt the difference between safety and jeopardizing myself although I'm usually not a super racer. So far I've been in one actual car accident and in several almost harmful incidents, and it was always afterwards that I came to understand that again I had not walked the fine line too well but luckily somehow dodged the bullet. This post is not about me per se but should give you an idea where I'm audaciously trying to get to here. What actually got me to write about the topic of taking risks responsibly was the tragic and senseless death of one seasoned Cirque de Soleil member last Sunday. This inexplicably saddened me that much that my mind has not yet been able to let go of it. So, please bear with me because I'm clearly geared to ramble this week. Anyway, that 31- year old woman was well trained and doubtlessly knew her routine better than anything else, and yet she plunged to her death because a wire had snapped. I'm certain that she knew where her personal boundaries were, but still she must have missed one major fact which makes it all even sadder. As a mother of two small children, she must have known deep inside that it just wasn't right anymore to keep risking her life. Isn't motherhood another natural boundary which in a quite self- explanatory way sets the instinctive tone for safety to be put on top of your list? That does not by any means imply that life is over with offspring on their way. Just weigh your options as far as putting yourself into harm's ways. I do think that having kids means avoiding any extreme and dangerous situations. Take female soldiers with kids for instance. How irresponsible is it to still pursue what a mother is never supposed to do which is staying away from her children and fighting in wars that may quite realistically cost her her life in an absolutely selfish manner. I may sound overly conservative, but a mother's responsibility should always and primarily remain to be there for her kids. As useless and dumb as wars are in general, we have got used to losing sons, brothers, husbands, fathers, etc. Females though, should no longer be recruited once they bear children as it's definitely harder to cope with the loss of a mother than a father. - One way or another, we are always taken care of by our guardian angels even when we die and cross over. Ironically, lots of times people lose their lives doing nothing wrong really except for being in the wrong places at the right time perhaps. However, it's just very unfortunate if a female gets killed because she decided to keep chasing after her dreams and passions and instead sacrifice her motherhood for fame and fortune.

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...
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...
