Oh my goodness! I just have realized that there is also a close person in my life right who is in the situation to hide a very deep despair and made an especially bad decision involving a social suicide as a consequence.... 😱 and that I also should send her unconditional love and the confirmation to stay alive - from a distance... Oh my goodness!!! The scales just now fell from my eyes! Whew....
@raincloud occasionally I have “seen” something that does occur… on 2 levels… the outer world and in my own circle of relatives and friends.
I will follow the wonderful, loving insight of @joy and (send) your relative:
much "unconditional love" and the "confirmation for an inner decision to stay alive (also socially and professionally)
Today t was talking about if he would make it to heaven. I think deep down he may want to leave. He is a lonely man losing his power and feeling the full weight of the whole world's anger. Perhaps a workplace and social suicide has ocurred already.
@ghandigirl My intuition tells me, T is thinking: "I may need to leave soon, yet I might be given the Bowl of Sorrows instead of entering Heaven's Gate. If I only could, I'd make a deal with God...."
Well, T's deal with God would definetely not be about to swap the places of men and women like Kate Bush would suggest...
It is more like: "Do you think the nobel price for peace is enough of a deal to let me enter Heaven's Gate, God? Especially if I have earned the nobel price in a quite weird and odd manner that would make you laugh out loud?"
It seems like you're pretty convinced that T faces a serious mental condition. I just found a German article that obviously shares this belief, but it describes it very diplomatically and indirectly. I think that makes it sound pretty funny. This newspaper isn't a satirical magazine at all. It's usually the go-to source for serious political news. I hope you enjoy my translation of the humorous and indirect description in the title.
In a heartwarming display of optimism, US President Donald Trump declared Washington safe, though the lawn was in a bit of a mess.Trump had actually wanted to patrol the US capital with security forces. Instead, the president delivered a monologue that focused extensively on lawn care.
@joy I am thinking many German readers will interpret the article as tongue-in-cheek, especially as the paper's usual presentation is well-known.
I am looking forward to the day when there is no mention of t, in any paper, in any format.
@seabreeze Thank you very much for your reply. I understand that you've had your fill of reading about him. I felt the same at times!
As for German newspaper readers, they certainly see this title as an insider joke. Culturally speaking, it's a very special kind of title that reveals a lot without saying anything directly at all. As you may know, our language culture is usually pretty straightforward, also using often a bit harsher words than some other cultures would. Typically, our language culture is direct, and that's why this title is so special. Completely untypically for German, it says everything to those who read it, without saying anything directly at all. Not saying anything directly att all! This makes this title really pop and stand out for German readers. Therefore, the content of the title that everyone understands without any direct words at all is like underlined for German readers. Iit is not a tongue-in-check, because even a tongue-in-check would still have some sort of directness, I think 😂
