I am glad you liked it & that you responded...we're are similar in that, that we like the taste of beer without needing the "kick" of it...although I am not saying, that it can't be for a moment a help to forget some deep/bad events, but they resurface anyway...so it's not a remedy...bitter taste is sometimes better to quench a thirst.
As far as the spirituality is concerned this subject could be discussed here or over there...I wouldn't mind & who would?...isn't alcohol also a biblical subject, thinking of Noah and Lot etc...
Aren't you sometimes "falling in love"with a place...because of the sceneary & it's people etc.?
The place I am living in Germany is actually pretty, but at times I thought the toughest one to handle, from personal crisis, job search to what not...I thought it was my pretty "hell" at times... but actually I got healed here of a good many things, including some very false religious concepts....so actually the stone turned into bread..
Well, the heatwave was followed by unusual cold whether...I remember a colleague from Kasachstan...germanic descendant....that he was used to a stable climate in Kasachstan, when it was ummer it was hot...in winter cold...not so mixed like in Germany....I thought this July was the hottest I ever experience in Germany, day in day out...only my time in India was more challenging...plus I had the drive to exercise, loosing weight & go jogging...it was only endurable in the mornings....& when I had finally holidays, the good weather was "gone"...Tschüss
Well, my happiness doesn't depend on beer, weather, people...this & that...they say here, money may not make you happy, but it soothes you...
How is the identity complex effecting you?...do you miss a certain "nationalism", hometown-feeling...fatherland etc???I think those feelings can be both beautiful and dangerous...I am actually from berlin, but gone from there since 30 years...always thought, it'd be a very cool, unique place & didn't think of shifting...now I am
quite estranged to it...what I discovered since some time these flashbacks in memory, when everything seemed so innocent & perfect in life, care & strife far from me, quite a blessed protected childhood....but I keep myself from crying about it, what I made of it...there would be no use to it...I am here to learn, warn others about my mistakes & improve my remaining life...
Great you posted...also here..cause you know what, what is a very spiritual post?? If it is an understanding one, an innermost revealing one, a kindhearted or even a correcting...intelligent one....even an amusing one would do as some entertaining one, why not...it was all about offense, when believers should have respect for nonbelievers & the other way around...some here have found, not searching anymore, others don't give the impression of wanting to look & search
, that should be said & expressed, then respected & some are not decided...a "mixed crowd", I don't mind...but if speeding at 200km/h is forbidden at some part of the highway, then it shouldn't matter who the offender was, be it a celebrity or a poor
fellow.Can you say, how many places you've been & what they meant for you?Wish you the wanted stability?...roots?...all the needed best...
