This week I am reading Paulo Coelho, "The Winner stands alone."
This is quite a remarkable work and without giving the story away
I just want to quote two parts to whet your curiosity.
One charakter wants to find out what is "normal" and collects observations
in a notebook. Here are some:
1. normal is anything that makes us forget who we are and what we want;
that way we can work in order to produce, reproduce and earn money.
3. spending years studying at university only to find out that you are
unemployable.
15. believing absolutely everything that appears in print.
45. being equally convinced that aggression and rudeness are synonymous
with having a "powerful personality".
Another charakter is irritated by the incessant propaganda about climate change
and "saving the planet" activists and remarks:
"How can we be so arrogant? The planet is, was and always will be stronger than us.
We can't destroy it; if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface
and carry on existing. Why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?
