In breaks we were eating together in dim canteen of education center in routine of our unemployment compulsory course. Dining hall was full of people.

Social control in form of compulsory education

It was steaming stewed cabbage, which melted in the mouth and reminded me of hearty soviet meals, which were but 200 times cheaper. My companion treated cabbage with great appetite. She was attractive woman of forty, with trim figure and regular face features, which together with her lively way, made her looking more of brown-eyed Gallic type, than woman from Vorarlberg. Like many others in my surroundings, Martha was very talkative and exploded now and then with distinctly articulated passages of eloquence. Relative longevity of German lexical units and typically loud manner of speaking with low, throat voice always increased my impression of Austrian vocalizations affluence.

Großeinsatz der Polizei bei Kurden-Demo in Wien
Rund 1.500 Kurden hatten an der Samstagsdemo gegen die Türkei teilgenommen

Zwischen Türken und Kurden herrscht wieder einmal dicke Luft: Zunächst wurde Kurdenführer Abdullah Öcalan in einem türkischen Gefängnis – je nach Lesart – gefoltert oder durchsucht. Dazu kommt es immer wieder zu gewalttätigen Zwischenfällen und Festnahmen wegen des Kurdenkonflikts in der Türkei.

From my very childhood I was against any friendships or group gatherings on national grounds. There were also Kurds and Turks in Kyrgyzstan, where I was born. Besides of Kyrgyz, Russians, Koreans, Chinese and Germans. What is nationality? Only label of superfluous evaluation. But if to dive deeper or dig toward core, national differences stop to play any role

Christoph Exler. Everybody has his own concept of love and art. And love is the only form of art where everybody

considers himself to be highly professional. I wrote these angry lines after personal talk with this painter in one of Vienna cafes. He impressed me as sarcastic person with obviously reduced respect to others mental systems, cultures and nationalities, than his own. This man whom I met by chance in Graben, introduced himself as well known Austrian painter, and with certain aplomb he invited me to drink a cup of cofree with him. There in Havelka he demonstrated me one of his drawings. It was very dark in cafe, and I could not make portrait of a man. He talked much and gave feeling of being sarcastic. In breaks between consumation of beer, he criticized all photographers for being stupid and especially me, though he had never seen what I was doing. I paid attention to small detail, that always signalizes for me about ways person has and his awareness, that though he invited me, I lost two hours listening to him and paid for my drink myself. He didn’t offer to pay for me.

Honestly, I do not know what love is. For me it is mystery, that has little to do with intimate contact. It can perfectly exist and flourish in heart without body closeness to beloved. Weird thing is that many men are so eager to conquer woman body, and do nothing to conquer her thoughts. After some efforts they can be granted with sex, but not with love. This process could be compared with eating in expensive, but tasteless restaurant. There you eat, but food does not nourish you, and nice looking dish has negative energy fill. Cook, waiter and manager, all of them added their negative energies to this dish which was expressed in wish to sell you product and then to get rid of you as soon as possible. According to my experience, many men pursue attractive women with only one wish to get access to her genitals, often by means of moral deception. Idea of one or two intercourse by any means is programmed in their mind. After self defeating program is fulfilled and they experienced pleasant release after ejaculation – demoralizing aspects come to surface and make them unhappier than before.
