Part 10
at that time, there was no internet
the Africans trying to get to Europe only knew
the northern continent because of the tourists they saw traveling in their
country
now, I could understand why they all tried to go
to Europe
I wonder whether they would still have tried to
come to Europe had they know what Europe was really like
these old cultures, like Europe and Chine or
India had something decadent about them
for a very long time, nearly 500 years, the
Europeans had destroyed every kind of culture in Africa
maybe, the future of humanity lies in Africa
because they do not have this sort of burden of the past
x
but why did I go back to Europe and not
southwards to black Africa?
actually, I didn’t have any more money and must
admit that I was not brave enough to go to black Africa without money
what one can do in Europe, one can’t do in Africa
the lowest living level in Europe is enough to
live on with minor trouble
but Africa is different, the lowest living level
there is only enough to starve of hunger
x
through all my life, I’ve been criticizing
European society and snobbery with all her racism and arrogance
nevertheless, European culture is still one of
the most tolerant and advanced
and there is no other place in the world like
Europe, North America or Australia where people can live their inclinations
so freely
however, can we just lean back saying that it’s
much better than elsewhere if we know exactly that it’s still not good
enough?
X
communism in Eastern Europe had just broken down
maybe, I could leave Western Europe without
leaving Europe
many eastern European people moved to Western
Europe to begin a better life
but only few people moved from Western Europe to
the eastern part of the continent
me, I was one of them
and when I arrived, they looked at me like at
somebody from Mars
x
my dog, yes, I had a dog at that time
it was only a small dog of about 15 kg
when I think back, he was my best friend, I’ve
never had a better one
he, because it was a male dog, didn’t like
Northern Africa very much
the Arab culture likes the cat but not the dog
cats have very important tasks, for example
catching mice and rats
still today, dogs fulfils the role of pigs in
these countries
most of them are street dogs and feed on the
rubbish they find in the streets
