Hi Anna,

so we can talk.
Communication is important. I do not understand so many things.

Is this a concept for a memorial ?
We have some of them in this country where I live. They are probably 
important as statement. The problem with them is, that they produce so much 
relief, that it stops at this point. I think it would be a good idea to 
change the teaching plans in the schools. That would maybe change 
something. Actually nobody is asking for that. It seems that everyone is 
very happy with these superficial statements.
I am just very sceptical with these things. I have hardly ever seen, that 
this was followed by any actions, that could maybe lead to a better 
understanding. Somehow commercials for the non existent.

yes, people are very different.
I always wanted to keep my sorrow for myself, because I felt it so 
individual that I would not have liked it to be set into relation of 
something public.
I feel, that what can be seen on TV is so superficial and sensational, that 
it somehow ruins the individuality of the persons been killed. I can 
imagine how hard it must be. Everyone who has ever lost a friend or family 
can imagine it. I do not have to see this. And I suspect that actually the 
reason why it is shown must be something very different than an interest in 
individuals.
