#235: Sensitize

At the time I write intensively on a scientific paper to law and morality, so I'm not really to me to deal with other issues. Everything revolves around these concepts, such as justice, Legislation, Decisions and morality. And they just left by the events of the past and what may happen a strange feeling.

In the philosophy of law, there are two main currents opposed, the one, say in deciding a case (hard cases in particular) morality may have no effect. Judges must be directed only by the law, everything else should not be an issue. However, the opposite position argues, that we can not answer all questions, and this view to the outside must be allowed. Where we find no answers, morality must be included.

Personally, I see no possibility of moral values ​​outside before let, and I would give them a rating of morality here, what is right and what is not. What is considered fair and just not what. A sensitizing but is more than ever necessary, to find answers.

#234: I want to be Charlie

The New Yorker 07. January writes George Packer, that we must all try to be Charlie. And not just today, to express our solidarity, but every day and at any time. It's about our freedom and the democratic understanding with which we grew up, it has become so natural for us.

I want to be Charlie. I'm Charlie. I will not be silent and afraid. I will not be afraid of and my princess and my Ninja. In one of my last lecture at the university, a professor spoke of, that we have it in hand (the still younger than me) to change anything, then she spoke of climate change, but it must be much broader. It's about tolerance, Pluralism, Freedom and Democracy.

I want to be Charlie. I'm Charlie. But I did not want to also be mobilized by a rush, which in turn creates only intolerance and exclusion. My grandfather was in the labor camp (KZ) because he had a different political views, My other grandfather had enough of war and refused the second war a weapon to take to hand.

I want to be Charlie. I'm Charlie. I will not be afraid. I am a half Tschusch and I may say so, because I'm just a. And I experienced as a child, what this meant for my mom. When they – the good honest honest … who they were always – mitt rushed to my mom about mess at the door, need to get out that foreigners – in the middle-class home ownership.

I want to be Charlie. I'm Charlie. I want to live and make a difference. Who is involved?

#233: Christ Child, where are you?

Christmas and especially the pre-Christmas season are personally very important to me. I love this conscious coming down, to light the candles, when it is dark outside and the inner reflection. But unfortunately leaves a life is not always possible to (increasingly rare) to find peace. The older I get, the greater – perceived – Problems and challenges come up to me. At the same time, however, solve songs like “Happy Xmas” John Lennon this longing for peace and Zuruhekommen from. The inner conflict is sometimes beautiful outwardly noticeable.

This year I've spent part of the holiday season with my sick dad. Where it is not about the what and when and how intensively, but the “it-is-now-non-releasable” Problem. I expect – naturally, because it's Christmas – that all ailments and even more of one or two doctor's visit(in) are solved. But forget it, that my dad for years or decades of severe diabetic and nothing has yet been solved simply. Once you have operated on him a piece of meat out, instead of the lipoma …

Only he's just my dad and it's Christmas. Even though I'm almost too old to believe in Father Christmas, he's still my dad, which should be strong and unyielding, to face the adversities of life. So I hope this small or large Christmas miracle, although I know, that it will be otherwise, just because, …

“Child-be” was great, because since the ratios are basically clarified, or should be,, but now a lot revolves around and I did not just my two successor but also 2 Foster children (because when Dad is sick, then meets the one after 40 Years all the more).

But who knows, maybe the Christ child really comes even to me, because I have this year helped very much – both when packing, Decorate Christmas tree, Papa doctor- and nursing home stays.

#232: RIP UDO

A Great and I mean really big is gone. Udo Jürgens and while I'm still on the way home, I get both on Facebook, WhatsApp and also call the news, that Udo died and what was lucky I still be at his last concert. Parallel I went to youtube this song “1000 Annual One Day”, as this is my favorite song by Udo Jürgens and touched me to the deepest of my ego.

I have seen his last concert, been there, I felt, that Jürgens would prefer to tip over on stage or shortly thereafter. He gave everything, matter, whether a slip of the tongue was there or not. With 80 Years, that is probably allowed. Also, that after his mandatory bathrobe (I do not need the yes, but probably would the rest of the media landscape cry) his “Senior Citizens”jeans attracted and still prances around the stage, that's all with 80 Allowed years. Because Udo Jürgens is easy and pulled both young and old alike.

Jung therefore, because I remember, my princess with delicate 3 Years naked her keyboard in the atrium to the slide pulled, for there “But please with cream” to sing. Old therefore, because my granny with 66 (shortly before the cancer it with 67 defeated) still thought, now begins her life but only to. Thanks for linking music, it makes us all across companies possible in the disco with Greek wine swaying together to sing. Who showed us, that we are all somewhere in a “honorable House” live and live. And the dream of New York, Hawaii and San Francisco should be to live if only on TV via universe and Co.

For me, Udo Jürgens was not only childhood memory and I want to say thank you and now my “not available” Stamping wary of humility. THANK YOU!

#231: Write to

I know the concept of cover letters so only from the stories my grandmother and my father, especially when it comes to local shops Kreisler, Butcher or baker went. My own experience with a Kreisler were rather poor and were especially at a time, when I was still in school (Lower school) went there and bought my Naschsackerln or rolls had. In my memory remained, that the owners were always quite grumpy to us children.

Not so Mr. Amon – Butchers in 11. District in Neugebäude Castle – who let me write the same as the first customer. I had not added enough cash with, I had left forward, that there are a Debit card. Unfortunately, the mobile POS was just the driver of the catering services on the road and thus not accessible for me. To my question, where the next ATM is, said Mr. Amon, but that it is no problem, if i pay the next time. That was a very strange feeling, this trust, which he so into me – its customers – continued. And I was all the more unpleasant, and I offered to transfer to it, let me trigger … And yet, he assured me, that it would be really okay for him.

It is an appreciation, unfortunately in speed, in which we are traveling, often goes. In addition, its products are great, namely the best Kabanossi of all of Vienna (even less expensively than the supermarket and homemade). He smokes and selcht we ourselves also. Also, what more could you want?!

#230: Offer support groups

And for the most common, insidious destroyer of life in the world, Whether you're a dictator or parent, at some point you overtake the reputation of being terribly.

Usually it starts with geseufzten and tortured “You are soooo mean.”. Unfortunately, my princess never be able to accept the fact, I already had to sign when you were born, to be common in my lifetime. Apparently there was – at least for them – there parents, which were NEVER common and are. Only mine is a mystery, how to create the?

I give it also to, I am sometimes like ur in common! Of course, not in the sense, as it was now communicates through the articles in the press, but rather in the sense “such is life, you can not have it all”.

Where there was no real cause now long case, but this potential for Christmas and Co increases exponentially.

So who urgently needed before or after group therapy, Simply log …

#229: My Advent wreath

this year is so beautiful. This is on me, one could say. Maybe it's the diameter of well 60 cm, on my way binding (Combination of wire and connectors), or the combination of Seidenföhre, Ivy, Conifers and pine branches. But there are probably my hand-drawn stick candles from Norway. In wonderful taupe / nude and rosé and a price, made me falter briefly.

Only when plugging I had my problems. Because the candles were so beautiful and damned expensive, It was, of course, the goal is to get them as gently as possible on the Advent wreath. Was the lower surface of the candle 1 EUR size and intricacy of this candle went 40-50 cm up. 2 Men were thwarted by the heated wire and inserting into the candle. Was probably the ratio candle-price Hyperventilierenmeinerseits and large hands. So I took the whole thing in his hand and to candle 3 Everything went wonderfully … At the last candle I was probably too euphoric and broke at the bottom of a small piece of. What the H. and he did not discourage the BLACK!!!! took hot wire, my TAUPE!!!to cement-colored candle (because when the wax melts, then we Shut it …).

Now I have black spots on my candle wax, but screwed, so you can not see. But I also had the most wonderful moment of laughter this Christmas wreath tying with a wonderful abdominal muscles. That's why my Advent wreath is so beautiful, He is the, what should be this season: a collective product of a lot of love, Laughter, Togetherness and fun!

#228: Do they know … in bloody Deutsch

I have just completed the Band Aid versions of “Do they know it’s Christmas time” considered both in the New England by Bob Geldof, as well as the German version directed by and starring Campino. And has even surprised me about my German version much better liked than the English re-recording. Not only, that the German voices and convince own character, the interpretation was authentic.

Which I do not could, was the opening sequence in two videos, where a woman (dead?) has carried out of their own filth. What image will here give Mr. Geldof? It affects more than just down from the top. So I can more than understand the criticism of Mr Geldof.

But really hardcore yesterday was just a Christmas song in German … “Last year at Christmas I gave you my heart. But the very next day you gave it away again. To save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special this year …” and it was really traumarisierend, as there have been people, which could sing along. Apparently I was until yesterday the Christmas happiness hold …

#227: Decision Making – how it works in theory

We say yes to all of us very happy, that we are rational people and if we are to make decisions, we shall use all possible factors, draw us lists with Prior- and disadvantages, give us an overview and go in the best case in the Deep Search. Particularly, when it comes to really important decisions.

The theory, that the rational person makes the decision with the greatest expected benefit for him. Yes ganz kap. And who is really serious and 2 Choices has with each 3 possible outcomes, should from now on please use this formula. To be filled with the Zahlenerwerten the expected outputs and results.

I(L(p,P,N))= p x u(P) + (1-p) x u(N)
and eu (L(q,H,N)) = q x u(H) + (1-q) x u(N)

In addition to companies also quite apply in the private sector, particularly, when a programmed Excel (who feels always addressed) has available and the values ​​are already planned and predictable. For all other (like me) Thank God there are theories such as the Fast, Slow Thinking (Recommended Kahneman very). In particular, the Fast Thinking is an intuitive decisions, which we subsequently been foist rational reasons almost.

A wonderful test for all, sometimes standing between two decisions (for example,. Children and Partners, what should be there for dinner). Flip a coin, defining the sides advance. Lie on the back of the hand and then see, how to (the other) reacts, were deciding if the side is revealed. Where it is then not a question of sticking to the decision, but rather to recognize, that the subconscious mind knows, was es will. What also does not mean, that it is the right decision.

#226: I've learned something today

If you like sitting together with friends and drinking a beer or two and we talk very openly about God and the world, comes the conversation at some point to the alleged urination. Just Beer is a driving factor here, not because of the alcohol.

And so we found, especially the women in the Round, that unfortunately “always” so is, that although it was on the toilet before leaving the premises, it is a few hundred meters further back so far, and wife again – namely really urgent – must. And in the best case, there is then the way a hotel in the woman quickly runs into or …
There is a hand toilet. Apparently at least. In my Google search first, I could find no evidence. But my friend knows a woman, has something. So I searched further and am about them!. On Amazon you can find the Ladybag on the go. A mobile disposable loo with 32 consistently positive customer reviews. No Hinhockerln between two cars more, no prancing Einbeintanzen and imagining of “I do not have anyway.”. The Internet has it all but I really wanted it but not know exactly. (Fucking female curiosity)
