1) waiting for
2) freedom
3) People are happiest in Asia
4) witty, attentively sensual
5) A mental prison
1) Now you are there! Already for 20 minutes! But
you wait because it is a good friend. You know exactly what it's like and
have brought a book with you as a precaution. But somehow, it bothers you. If
you hadn't known her / him for so long, you wouldn't be here now; But then
she / he would not be late either. She / he could not be sure that you would
really wait. These thoughts go through your head as you stand there. How good
that it is not raining or snowing! It is a good thing that we live in the age
of the mobile phone and can send a short message that they will be late a bit.
Just be patient! This is a good friend! But what about relatives or family
members? It is often even worse, although you should actually expect these
people to make more efforts to be punctual, for example, because they are
good friends, relatives or family members!
2) freedom
- alcohol-free, lead-free
- free or worry
- a day off = a free day
- Every employee has a certain number of days off
/ free days
- Imprisonment is deprivation of liberty
- the liberation of slaves
- liberation from dictatorship
- liberty, equality, fraternity
- But what would normal people really do with
their freedom. Every minute, they would have to decide what to do with the
next minute. "To be free" does not mean to be able to do what one
wants, but to make a decision about what one wants. And let's face it,
decision making is tiring. It is much more convenient to go into the pleasant
yoke of executing commands because one is then free from having to decide
what one wants!
3) People are happiest in Asia. This is shown by
opinion polls. They strive for a nirvana, a nothing, a dissolution in
nothing. With European terms, I would say that they simply conform to their
fate. The European, on the other hand, has removed this passivity since Protestantism
and is actively trying to shape his / her future. This is probably one of the
main reasons for the economic differences between these two types of cultures.
4) "She wasn't very witty, but attentively sensual!"
This is how Heinrich Heine expressed himself 160
years ago in his volume “Travel Pictures” when he wanted to say that someone
is “blonde” in today's sense.
5) A mental prison frees us from things that
would bind us in our intellectual freedom.
