Getting married, yes or no … Ehe und Frauen Ist die Ehe für Sie noch ein Problem? Wann überzeugt Sie die Ehe als Einrichtung mehr: wenn Sie diese bei andern sehen oder in Ihrem eignen Fall? Was haben Sie andern öfter geraten: a. dass sie sich trennen?b. dass sie sich nicht trennen? Kennen Sie auch Versöhnungen, die keine Narben hinterlassen auf der einen oder auf der andern oder auf beiden Seiten? Welche Probleme löst die gute Ehe? Wie lange leben Sie durchschnittlich mit einem Partner zusammen, bis die Aufrichtigkeit vor sich selbst schwindet, d. h., dass Sie auch im Stillen nicht mehr zu denken wagen, was den Partner erschrecken könnte? Und mehr dergeichen … The Mother Of All Questions: Looking into the mirror when shaving, what do you see reflected: A liar A criminal Someone you know? Can you still accept who you became when becoming an adult? Yes or rather no?

Friends

Communist Regimes have abused terms like Friends: You were supposed to greet total strangers with Freundschaft.George Orwell He was so upset about Stalin and Communism, that he wrote Animal Farm, one of the most successful books ever written. In many schools around the globe, students learn about rebellion and what - all too often - happens next! All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. Back to reading and writing and life skills: Have you ever been disappointed by a very good friend you believed you would love for ever? What means dis - illusioned? End of being deceived. Das Ende einer Täuschung = Enttäuschung. Sometimes you learn a lot reading poems or songs. Kindly yours from the Gold Coast in Queensland on a late Friday afternoon, now 17:11 And the sun is going down. Time for a sundowner with my friends. Are they friends? Real friends? Love them while it lasts. Street Art at Penang | Credit phb Fragebogen von Max Frisch zum Thema Freundschaft Fragebogen für Männer und Frauen? Halten Sie sich für einen guten Freund?

Principles

What principles define how you live? There are no strict rules or principles for myself, rather a free spirit … But I do believe in Education and trying to learn until you drop dead. Learning curves are as endless as the Universe. In the mornings after a shave, I look into the mirror and ask the image I see reflected: Is this still you? Trying to understand yourself as much as possible. Born to be free at last. Getting to know yourself by adventure. Background: Shakespeare, Goethe, Hesse …and a few more like Johnson and Brecht.

Colonial George Town, Penang

A rainy Day in a George Town Hotel, posted by Wonderweaver on Sat 5 Oct 2024. Ernest Zach } Credit phb Discovering the Heart of George Town, Penang George Town is a charming colonial city nestled in Penang, Malaysia, and it has captivated my interest. How? Well, just a bit of research online while preparing my flight back from Germany to my Australian Home Town, where I have retired with my wife and Brasilien Family since 2015. Wandering its vibrant streets, one can't help but feel a deep connection to its rich history and cultural tapestry, making it a perfect destination for a week-long adventure. A Walk Through History George Town's historical roots date back to the British East India Company, which established the city as a trading post in 1786. This pivotal moment in history transformed the harbour town into a bustling hub of commerce and cultural exchange.

As part of the empire, George Town became a focal point for international trade, attracting merchants from Europe, India, China, and beyond.
