Thoughts Easter 2024 – DYING AND LIVING
Birth is followed by life.
Death is followed by
Nothing?
If the supernatural consolation is missing, what remains?
God is dead.
Religion?
Christian churches become emptier and emptier.
But I am left with memory and gratitude.
Both can transcend space and time.
True memory is more than just “thinking about”
… our parents and grandparents and friends as we have experienced them.
Photos help.
Images and memories visualise the person who was and is no longer with us.
They make him or her present.
His or her face, his or her voice, his or her presence.
That is life after death.
A consolation, after all, because it is not a betrayal.
Easter 2024

Auszug (Zitat aus Cicero)
Leistungsorientierung ist notwendig, weil …
Die Thesen aus Cicero sind provokativ und eine Zuspitzung und werden eine wertvolle Diskussion in Gang setzen: Als Fachmann im Bereich Higher Education habe ich eine klare Position in vielen Bereichen:
Zuspitzung ist rhetorisch eine Pointe.
Ohne Pointe geht jede Meinung | jede Position im Rauschen unter.
Somit ist ein Erzaehler (Narration) immer auch ein Meister in Pointen.
Gefahr: Jede Uebertreibung kann als Bullshit missverstanden werden!
Also aufpassen (Vorsicht) ist immer wichtig: Wem sage ich wann was in welcher Form?
Die Koordinaten des Erfolgs sind bekannt aus jedem gutem Unterricht in allen Schulen:

Der Rest ist Struktur.

Am 4. November 1989 versammeln sich unter dem Berliner Fernsehturm Hunderttausende zu einer der größten Demonstrationen der deutschen Geschichte. 26 Redner, darunter Prominente wie Gregor Gysi, Christa Wolf, Heiner Müller oder Jan-Josef Liefers, fordern grundlegende Reformen in der DDR. Aber nur fünf Tage später fällt die Mauer. Dreißig Jahre danach hat das SZ-Magazin die Beteiligten von damals oder ihre Nachfahren gefragt: Was wurde aus den Träumen vom Alexanderplatz? Über den wahren Schicksalstag der friedlichen Revolution:

The name “intrepid campers” refers to people who are adventurous, brave, and fearless when it comes to camping and outdoor activities. They are typically unafraid to explore the wilderness, take risks, and face challenges that come with outdoor living, such as unpredictable weather conditions, wildlife encounters, and physical demands. These individuals are often well-prepared with the necessary gear and skills to navigate and survive in the great outdoors of Australia or Africa.
I would call myself an outdoor enthusiast looking for adventures and have worked in Windhoek Namibia until 1994 and have travelled the South of Africa over 6 long years (working at the DHPS – one of the oldest German Schools in the world).
Having retired now as a High School Teacher in North Germany, I have lived at the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia since 2012.
From 1998 until 2005 I lived in Brisbane QLD and worked for Education Queensland and the German Goethe – Institut in the function of the German Language Adviser being on leave in Lower Saxony Germany for 7 years.

“Active campers” refers to people who enjoy camping and outdoor activities that involve physical exertion and movement. They may participate in activities such as hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, kayaking, and other similar pursuits. They enjoy exploring and experiencing nature through physical activity and may seek out destinations that offer opportunities for adventure and challenge.
While “intrepid campers” may also engage in these activities, the term specifically implies a sense of fearlessness and willingness to take risks. In contrast, “active campers” may simply enjoy the physical and mental benefits of outdoor activities without necessarily seeking out the most extreme challenges.
With my best wishes from the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia

Just found the Capstone Hybrid Off Road Caravan – Victoria OZ.
Another idea I have been following for the last few years:
Any second hand 4×4 like Volkswagen or Sprinter and customised solutions for Camping: Would design my own van, but find people in the area who can advise and help. Lots of solutions on the net, Australia, Europe and USA or Asia.
My priority would be: Simple camping outside the van and no heayy furniture because of the weight.
If in need of luxury, I would rent a good Hotel room.
The latest Absurdity of Vanities:
The largest Ocean Cruiser with Gas powered engines and 7500 passengers and many restaurants and pools and shops.
What I am after is a bush camp and a toilet and a very good camp fire to fry my eggs, meat and boil my water for tea.
Kindly yours from the Gold Coast (heaps of heavy rain here since Christmas 2023)

The Famous Film Martin Scorcese with Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Wolf of Wall Street is a 2013 film directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort, a corrupt stockbroker who defrauded millions of dollars from investors in the 1980s and 1990s. The film is based on Belfort’s memoir of the same name, and depicts his rise and fall in the world of finance, as well as his extravagant lifestyle of drugs, sex, and crime.
The film has received critical acclaim for its energetic and irreverent style, its dark humor, and its performances, especially by DiCaprio and Jonah Hill, who plays Belfort’s partner in crime Donnie Azoff. The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay, but did not win any.
The film has also been criticized for its excessive and graphic depiction of Belfort’s debauchery, and for its lack of moral judgment on his actions. Some critics and viewers have argued that the film glorifies Belfort and his crimes, and fails to show the consequences of his fraud on his victims. Others have defended the film as a satire and a cautionary tale, and praised Scorsese and DiCaprio for their artistic vision and courage.

„Insurrection, rioting, and civil unrest are all forms of violent or disruptive behavior, but they differ in their scale, intent, and context.
Insurrection refers to a violent uprising against an established authority, usually with the aim of overthrowing the government or disrupting its operations. Insurrection often involves armed conflict, and those involved may seek to seize control of key institutions such as government buildings or military installations.
Rioting refers to a violent disturbance in public places, often involving a large group of people. Riots may be sparked by a variety of factors, including social or political grievances, economic inequality, or a perception of injustice. Rioters may engage in looting, vandalism, arson, or physical attacks on individuals or property.
Civil unrest is a broader term that refers to a range of non-violent and violent actions that express dissatisfaction with the status quo or seek to bring about change. Civil unrest can take many forms, including protests, demonstrations, strikes, boycotts, and acts of civil disobedience. While civil unrest may sometimes escalate into violence, it can also be a peaceful means of expressing dissent and effecting change.
In summary, insurrection involves a violent attempt to overthrow an established authority, rioting involves violent disturbances in public places, and civil unrest encompasses a range of non-violent and violent actions aimed at expressing dissatisfaction or effecting change.“
