Commit to something!<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

This morning Bloglovin<\/a> came in my mail. <\/span>Commit to something! <\/span><\/strong>This was one of the items, posted by thisisnthappiness.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The events on the news in the media about theft, assault and rape during the New Year, committed by North African men in various German cities (including Cologne), shocked me very much.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"commit<\/span>
\n<\/span>It is crazy that people claiming to flee because they can not stand torments in their own country – along with all possible means and risks go to free, western countries – curtail our freedom because of their misconduct. W<\/strong><\/span>hy do they want to bring into practice what they find intolerable in their own country? <\/span><\/strong>We are here in Europe (and especially in the West) as a woman equal to everyone and we can move freely. <\/span>We are here in Europe all the same in freedom of our religionto profess or not, to stay in or get out. <\/span>That’s what I’d like to keep. <\/span>Therefore, I commit myself to our freedom. <\/span><\/strong>Let everyone of them who does not understand this or neglect this stay away.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With this I come to the men who claim to be refugees, but add to their statement as they have built their lives here, they wish to bring their wives and children. <\/span>In my opinion they are no refugees. <\/span>They are merely seeking better economic conditions elsewhere. <\/span>They leave their own country in the lurch, because they should help build and improve their desired conditions there in their own countries.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We achieved our freedom and our prosperity not without a struggle and hard work, and it is a very valuable and a great good. <\/span>If there are people who can not handle that, then they are not in the right place here. <\/span>Then they mistakenly come to the wrong country and they still have to accept the consequences of their wrong choice and go to a country where they fit better.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This time my blog is not about art, but about the art of respect and tolerance and no abuse of hospitality<\/strong>. <\/span>If these values don’t exist here anymore, where are we landed in?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Commit to something!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
