Coronavirus

I don’t want to talk about the virus itself because there are many who do the job but would like to share my thoughts.



I believe not the virus is the great enemy but the lack of knowledge, the scaremongering and the inability to think with clear head.

I always believed that a disease doesn’t come to kill us but to rethink our life, our way of thinking and our choices, plus also believe it is never too late to change, to do our best to become a better person and be kinder to others



I don’t believe that this virus has been spreading to kill as many as possible but to draw our attention to the mistakes we make every day.

I know this world is about consumption, power, money and control but this is just not right. The virus has already given the answer and that should have been obvious before but better late than never: no money or power can buy health, happiness, love, care and kindness, all the important factors for life (at least in my opinion)

Those who have pretended so far, now getting a chance to rethink and make new, better, healthier choices and just hope that people will realize that superficial „values” can bring happiness for a short time but are worthless in the long run.

What really matters is the intrinsic value and as said earlier I believe it is never too late to change for the better.



I just hope those who are in quarantine or are staying home, use their time wisely and spend time with their beloved ones and I mean spend quality time, not checking phones, tablets, ipads and laptops all the time because don’t forget if something goes wrong with those device, there is no production, no delivery, no refill and maybe nobody working in the service so cards, board games, puzzles and communication are better choices.



Take care and think/act sensibly

Happy stories

Happy stories  For many of us what is happening in the world right now is still beyond our depth, we all are in a situation we never thought or feared of (at least I never thought and feared of something like this can happen) We might have seen something similar in the cinema but that time we thought ok, the filmmaker had been either weird or way too imaginative but when leaving the cinema we could happily acknowledge that everything was fine.  This time we cannot switch off the movie, it is happening and happening very fast and uncontrollable. The news are sometimes confusing and contradictory but one thing is for sure social distancing can save many lives and we have to do it for our own and each other’s sake. In my opinion it is really good to be on our own, with our thoughts if this is our own choice but if someone would like to talk and share thoughts or just to have some relaxing moments, which in these tough days can be really relieving and encouraging bu

Lynn's story

Lynn’s story Many people say they have no regrets in their lives. I have one which still haunts me and fills me with painful sorrow. Many years ago when I was young I drove overland from the UK to NZ with my husband.  We were approaching some border crossing - I dont recall where, but we were in a rocky desert. There was a puppy all alone, miles from anywhere, without water or food. We stopped and brought it into the van -- I gave it some food. And then we argued. My husband said we cannot take it across the border. I wanted to smuggle the pup across. To my everlasting shame I gave into pressure and put the puppy back into the desert. This act has had two major effects on my life. Firstly I NEVER give in to pressure when I know it would be wrong. Secondly: I spend much of my time and money helping rescue dogs around the world. While there can never be forgiveness for what I did, I can try to ease the suffering of other dogs. I just hope there really

Edit’s story

Edit’s story When learning in medical school, I had my second year’s summer internship/practice at maternity ward. Since I am the oldest out of 4 children in my family, nursing and raising the little ones became quite a routine in my childhood so didn’t often feel myself a child. I guess this is why I have developed my perfectionist side, my caring side and my mind-set up all over the place side. I didn’t like to put up with any other kids around me, my 3 siblings were more than enough. The other children surely felt that because they had never come to me to play. So by default I was not child friendly and like this had to go to the maternity ward for summer practice surrounded by the many of crying little „frogs”. When I was there fourth time, I went into a room where at least 10 of the approximately 18-22 newborn babies were cying. I cannot tell how I exactly felt but I had to go in, as if I had been pulled in there.   There was no nurse in the room, just
