The Farce

To my eyes and perception, the world is becoming increasingly out of proportion. Actions follow the whims of the foolish individual now leading the most powerful nation on Earth, while those who represent justice and knowledge simply shout indignantly about the "illegal acts" he commits—yet do nothing! Before me unfolds a true "commedia dell'arte": the same confused agitation, filled with big words and bad actions.  Those who theoretically hold important positions either follow the hoaxer out of fear or simply fuel the disconcertion with their upset talk. To the latter, I have begun to say: "If it is 'illegal' as you claim, then do something! Stop talking: act!" Perhaps this is exactly what they should realise: they are big, pompous talkers, incapable of putting theory into action. Culture, instead of shaping character and informing conduct, has become a kind of "narcotic nirvana"... I am horrified!  

Food

 


This is another big thing for me. I decided I will celebrate Christmas on Christmas day, instead of continuing the much loved German tradition to celebrate it on the evening of the 24th.

In the evening I think it is magic, intense, evocative. And yet I decided otherwise. I feel it's time to change because I have changed so much inside. Magic has lost that sentimental flair and has become reality. I feel differently, I am different. Therefore my Christmas will be on the 25th.

Because I want to celebrate a festivity I have begun to think now how I want to decorate where I am eating, the plates and cutlery I will be using.

But, most important, the food. Unfortunately I don't have a good relationship with food. I eat in an extremely simple way and I enjoy my simple food a lot. I am vegetarian, almost totally vegan and I enjoy my simple cooking. As I mainly eat steamed or row vegetables with some cereal like rice, oat, polenta, pasta.

Trying to adopt a more festive menu I ended up ruining the festivity because I don't fancy that kind of food. Therefore my decision: I will simply eat my normal beloved food, but in a festive decorated choreography.

This decision has eliminated the annual anxiety about what I could eat and now I am even looking forward to my new Christmas!
