THe recent publication of a picture in one of the Danish papers has caused a sensation recently. The topic is about racism and respect for another person's religion. While I remain neutral with understanding of the both sides of the story, it is a reminder that different people have different views.
Nina took the bus with me yesterday. She is Russian and married to a Dane. She feels that an apology should be made to the Muslim community for the offensive cartoon of their religious pillar. Her husband on the other hand feels that there is no need for an apology on the basis that Denmark endorses freedom of speech and freedom of expression. While they both come from different cultures and history, it just struck me instantly that we are all individuals who are entitled to different views and opinions. Couples need not agree with each other all the time. It is through differences that they gain a better understanding of each other and learn to deal and manage their differences.
Wow....what a revelation....Was the one up there trying to send me the message that a couple need not agree and have the same interests or views all the time?
Well, I hope that we both can work out the current situation....Should we get an apartment? Yes, I think so. He is, well, sitting on the fence not knowing which to choose. Both are attractive alternatives. I just hope that for the good of everyone, taking into consideration the different personalities, culture, mindset and so on, he will choose to get a separate apartment.
Till the day he makes the decision, I will have to hang by my neck and suffer in silence. Quick! Cut the rope!! Or I will be suffocating myself to death!!! Please!!!!
