And I decided

I saw evil, and I decided to seek the good.

I saw stupidity, and I decided to seek wisdom.

I saw folly, and I decided to seek understanding.

Let me explain!

From time to time, I watch video interviews by Achim Winter at Kontrafunk. With joviality from a better Germany, Tagesschau viewers are enticed to document their contradictions and absurdities on camera.

At first, you laugh at these brainwashed people—but then you realize that they still make up the majority, and that means Germany is lost. Achim Winter’s interviews thoroughly entertain me—and then leave me frozen in fear for our collective future.

If the majority tends to think in such a foolish way, who will elect wise politicians to power?

In recent weeks, I have seen so much malice, stupidity, and folly that I finally gave up even the possibility that people can survive without higher help.

We have all witnessed with horror the delight with which „the good ones“ reveled in the murder of Charlie Kirk. We have heard and read the lies in state media and corporate outlets, and we were disgusted, but not surprised.

In Ludwigshafen, the opposition candidate was openly and shamelessly excluded from the election. „Can Merkel’s Germany call itself a ‚democracy‘?“ we asked after Thuringia 2020. After Ludwigshafen 2025, we know the answer: No. (The new form of government is, as is well known, totalitarian and called „Our Democracy“.)

I see the stupidity, I see the depravity, and at first I want to despair and give up.

I saw indifference and selfishness. I saw people who lost their souls to politics, didn’t even get a „subsequent use“ for it, and in the end had little to show but bitterness. I saw people who gave up their faith and put themselves in God’s place. I saw where the path of these people ultimately leads, and it gave me the creeps.

What was I to do?

I pulled myself together. Every life comes only once, and every day in it as well.

I saw evil, and I decided to seek the good.

I saw stupidity, and I decided to seek wisdom.

I saw folly, and I decided to seek understanding.

A few people already live as I do, and had these insights long before me. Maybe you’ll allow me to walk the next part of the path with you.

But malice, stupidity, and folly? I have muted them. (Except for the Achim Winter interviews. He gift-wraps the stupidity of the wicked fools in such an endearing charm.)

Do the right thing. Don’t do the wrong thing.

It’s that simple! And when the horror is great enough, the strength can be found.
