Had a very interesting discussion with an old friend of mine recently. None of us is religious, but we both believe in doing and being good. Much more important than just talking.
Reminds me of an article I read. A 19-year old woman joined a monastery, promising silence, no sex and a life of prayer. Tell me, how exactly is that gonna help anybody?
Now you ask, what is Annika doing to help? This is what I am asking myself often. I try to help by listening, giving advice, buying Surprise (the homeless paper) and in general open my house for friends. Not enough one might think, and they are probably right. Haven't even gotten around to start up that cookie bank I was thinking about (micro loans).
But my friend and I agreed that life (or death) in hell sounds a helluvalotmorefun (pun intended!) than the alternative upstairs, so we agreed to meet there one day.
PS. Gotten the temp down from a summery 27°C to 23.4°C in the bedroom. Is it hotter in hell?
