War stories… we are thought about war in schools like it’s a chess game, with “leaders” being victorious or failing at it. I love the stories of wars were they would stand in front of each other, delivering “blows” to one another, with the king looking at it from the top of a hill. I think those were the most absurd episodes of human history. In middle ages – wars were extremely cruel for their hand to hand slaughter. But I suppose the impact of those was less noticeable, as there was not so much democracy and less people knew the “right” ideas. They were still illiterate animals from the point of view of modern “smart phone” user.

The animalistic nature of man is still profound today, but it has taken up the form of quite strict social norms and looking after one another – being a right and defended by law. we still see plenty of people acting out violent acts driven from their inability to be productive and successful members of society, but most of us see it more on a TV then actually encounter it.

Just like a video camera captures the “view” of of some thing that was happening and allows you to see and interpret what you see, just as well, human culture, jokes, stories and the things we see in our parent and other people experiences and attitudes captures what has happened in the past. I live in a part that was the front between Nazi Germany and soviet Russia,  the part that had been in the middle of the war and given away to the long lasting afterward, full of war scars – soviet block. We had taken up liberal ideas and strive to accomplish them and this situation gives conditions to monitor, how the past is still influencing the other generations of people.

Just like many other lands – this used to be a country of farmers, with cities and the “normal” problems people get them selves in. what I find the most interesting is, the effect the “horror” within a war has. The farming lands were the majority of the population. People lived with more personal space, spending more time with them selves and sustaining their own house holds by them selves… I had the chance to talk with people, who had been taken by trains to far away lands that are always covered in snow and the ground is always frozen there (Siberia) and people used to die on their way there, thrown together like kettle, forced out of their homes without a warning. I talked to people who came back, multiple times, for thousands of kilometers by foot, eating their boiled shoe leather to stay alive. Soldiers raped people, killed people, humiliated, were humiliated. Alcohol was introduced and successfully made an easily accessible form of “getting away from it all”and the pattern is still maintained today…
