due to the given circumstances, I got stuck here...meaning this year, I could not get home to celebrate Christmas with my beloved family.
to be honest, I am not a Christmas fan... it is always lovely to spend some days within the family... give and get presents...
but hang on... why do we need Christmas to once spend some time with the people we should care about the most?
why do we spend a huge amount of money on Christmas presents while somewhere else people are starving?
I had to get some things in the city yesterday... it was snowing and fuckin damn cold and it was just some hours before Christmas Eve and while most of those people were getting the last Christmas presents, just as myself....
there were also those street people sitting on the floor... and seeing this broke my heart...
where would they go on Christmas Eve?
I hate the fact that Christmas is only a big party for those who live in prosperity...
also...for the lonely ones among us...those with the broken-hearts and souls, for those without somewhere to go...
I guess, it might be one of the worst days...
Yesterday, when it was still snowing... an old granny and and old grandpa were shovelling the snow away... on Christas Eve that is to point out...
it must have been really tiring for them, they might have been about eighty, I guess... and it broke my heart again... and I was close to ask them whether I should do the job they were doing so thoroughly...
but then I came to think... that they did want to do it themselves...nobody would have forced them to do it...
and then I thought...at least they have each other... it would have been so sad if just one of them would have been doing it... but hey, they still have each other and even though it is possible they do not have any other family...they have each other...
and coming to think of that.... put a big smile on my face... just like now.
