Re: Souless Geneva People (Disgusting to the core)
Post 8
I am not sure we can really make this about Geneva. Geneva is so diverse as a population you do not know where the person comes from that offers your seat, or ignores you or others in need. This is a universal issue at a point in time in the world outside of Geneva, there are a lot of scary things going on.
Maybe that person who is in their own world, comes from a place where seeing someone else or paying attention to them can put them in harms way in some form.
I have been lucky, I grew up in Alaska, where people are not so nice, they are there to be away from people so there is not a lot of talking to each other but there is help when in need. I have been in Italy, where people have suffered in the face of corruption and greed and for the most part, when ever I wanted to talk to someone as long as we could communicate they would. But I had to make the effort. The UK was great, I could get into an argument at any moment and it would be ok. Actually it was ok to disagree outloud in public, it did not feel like judgement. Spain, well it was only for sunshine.
anyway my long winded point is that here is different. If we are talking about only the Swiss, it is challenging, the Swiss in Geneva some seem afraid to some extent and other have embraced their city as a center point for diversity. The Swiss in Valais, Vaud, Fribourg are so welcoming and gracious.
I have had a lot of trouble finding my place here, but if I think about it... Not sure it ever happened so perhaps, it is me? Maybe there is a reason someone does not offer me a seat on the bus, maybe I am scary?
If you made it to the end of this comment you probably get why it is hard to talk with me... So I can not hold it against anyone. Especially the kids, as we leave them a planet where they will have a lot of big problems to work out. I think I can find a way to give them all a break and try to just find my way.
