But then their situation was totally diffrent, than for example ours. <br />I think that USA also found the balance (but then again they did not loose as much as the central European countries). <br />Actually the balance thing is hard to define. I just think of it, as a way of handling stuff. I mean of course there was the big bad war (like all wars), but then you cant still live like it would be the main thinking factor. So of course past is very important, and historia est magistra vitae, but it cant come up in each comparison, or political decision. But then there's always dirty politics. <br />So anyhow, i think France and Great Britain are also handling it quite well, Norway and Holand. My observations might be inaccurate, but as far as I'm concered, they dont have all these problems that the Polish people seem to have, starting on War memorials, ending in politics. Whats left is to hope that time is a healer, and with years things will get better. Or just flee from the country.Mortnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942543806634394395.post-1454659996867723982009-10-24T03:46:59.976-07:002009-10-24T03:46:59.976-07:00I appreciate the comment and fully agree with it. ...I appreciate the comment and fully agree with it. As per seeking my own answers: "I am trying Ringo, I am really trying.” I was my intention to put some of it into the watercolor demon, part 2 post. A full disclosure can only happen on the screen. It’s in the works. Thanks for encouragement! <br /><br />I got a question: which countries in your opinion found the balance? (I can think of two: Finland and Japan.)Pawel Kuczynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560375946783948879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942543806634394395.post-11936260120840206092009-10-23T09:59:35.256-07:002009-10-23T09:59:35.256-07:00First thing first. The Angel, or whatever suits th...First thing first. The Angel, or whatever suits the viewer. An Angel is actually a quite confusing term for this thing, at least for me. Why? My first glance at the picture, left me with a vision of some sort of a mystical creature (suits an angel as well), then I tried to concentrate on its face, to try to find some emotion, one emotion. I took a look at its teeth. Something weird about them, they are ugly, not straight, with gaps between them. That's not how I would see an Angel. Actually while looking on it for the third time, I even might consider that the angel or whatever, is uhm... positivly shocked with something that's probobly appearing in front of him. I'm fare away from agreeing with Benjamin, but than again, we all look from diffrent perspectives. In his times the drawing would suit his ideas about it. Also in the times Paul Klee made his drawing, there was a lot of factors that could influence the look of it (the end of the I World War, and the dark times after it). So summing up, it looks like the thing on the drawing will be always an open interpretation, for the generations that are to follow us. But enough on the angel. <br /><br />Trying to answer your questions, Pawel, which are by the way HUGE questions. They're especially good questions for Polish people, because in this country especially the past lives wery strongly, and influences a lot in this country. It's kinda weird to me, of course some might say that it's easy to me, because I've never seen the horrors of World War II or the Holocaust. But then I see how other countries found the balance between the past, present and future. <br />Anyway, I think there's no way to talk about the victims without mentioning their prosecutors. The bond between them is just to strong to be forgoten.<br />Enough for now.<br />By the way, instead of asking just questions, why dont you try to find out the answers on your own? ;)Mortnoreply@blogger.com
