On Days Like This

( EN / DE ) The question arised what to post on a day like this. The 24.2.2022 on which, as one hears, Russia has declared war to Ukraine. A lot of thoughts go through my head about this.

Why do we pretend that now suddenly there is war, when somehow there has always been war somewhere on earth? Just because it is closer now and major powers are also taking part in the game?

Why don't we see the war on a small scale that is going on around us in our every day lifes? Hive vs Steemit. vaxx vs. unvaxx. Hivewatchers vs. false posters. Whale vs whale. Cyclists vs cardriver. Cyclists vs pedestrians. Pedestrians vs. cardriver. Neighbor vs neighbor.

We all just always want to be so much in the right. In our personal view of what could be the only thing to be right. Acceptance and tolerance, mutual recognition and support are still foreign words in our dealings with each other.

Anyway, I will certainly not establish world peace here alone, but I have found something very interesting for you in one of my old book treasures.

About time, wheel of time, the course of things, change, power, rising and falling nations....

An Tagen wie diesen

Es stellt sich die Frage, was man denn an einem Tag wie diesem posten soll. Dem 24.2.2022 an dem, wie man vernimmt, Russland der Ukraine den Krieg erklärt hat. Mir gehen dazu sehr viele Gedanken durch den Kopf.

Warum tun wir so, als ob jetzt plötzlich Krieg wäre, wo doch irgendwie immer schon irgendwo auf der Erde Krieg war? Nur weil er jetzt näher ist und auch Großmächte am Spiel teilnehmen?
Warum sehen wir nicht den Krieg im Kleinen, der tagtäglich um uns herum stattfindet. Hive gegen Steemit. Geimpft gegen Ungeimpft. Hivewatchers gegen Falschposter. Whale gegen Whale. Radfahrer gegen Autofahrer. Radfahrer gegen Fußgänger. Fußgänger gegen Autofahrer. Nachbar gegen Nachbar.
Wir wollen einfach immer alle so sehr im Recht sein. Nur das als richtig annehmen, was wir dafür halten. Akzeptanz und Toleranz, gegenseitige Anerkennung und Unterstützung sind immer noch Fremdworte in unserem Umgang miteinander.

Wie auch immer, ich werde hier den Weltfrieden sicherlich nicht alleine herstellen, aber ich habe etwas sehr interessantes für euch in einem meiner alten Bücher Schätze gefunden. Über die Zeit, den Lauf der Dinge, Veränderung, Macht, Aufstrebende und Fallende Nationen …

Aus „Historischer Weltatlas“ FW Putzger Österreichischer Bundesverlag 1969:

Looking at Ukraine Lands you now can see, that only up to Napoleons Time (early 19th century) the whole territory started to be part of the Tsarist Russia. Remember, the book is from 1969, so bevore we had the division of Europes East Lands from russia beginning 1991. But those lands like Slowenia, Kroatia... on the one side or Estonia, Lithuania... on the other, you can find on any actual card to compare with.

I hope you found this as much insteresting as I do.
