Necessities, freedom... ( BERLIN )

Recently, i was so happpy that TVB has this travelling program installed. Guess what? It's introducing a series of tourist attractions as well as some historical facts about GERMANY!!!!! :) fyiifudonno, Germany is one of my dream place to travel at ( i will make it a reality ). hehehe..>! ok... let's come back to the topic.!

NECESSITIES... I guess all who is viewing this has got more than NEEDed now... you have even got what you WANT! what about the East Berliners? let's see...

It all started from this,The Berlin Wall.It existed from 1961-1989 and was built by the German Democratic Republic. What effects this wall had on the East Berliners?In fact the West Berliners too! There were fears, splitting of families, lost of jobs, and failure to even get what they have needed. One of the East Berliners being interviewed shared about someone who had needed a wintercoat and had saved just the amount for it. However, due to the production, when she rushed down to buy, not even one is available for her. :S Sometimes, necessities needed to be smuggled by the West Berliners to them. Maybe you will say, so mafan, better die! ahmeh! if you think so, you can better go die le... jkjk! but honestly, what makes me admire the East Berliners the most is, they had tried all their bests to escape from the East and to go the West. But what they get? All the time being shot by guns or capturing by the guards! Actually they knew this will happen to them, but why they bothered trying? It's all because they want FREEDOM!

hmmm... Sometimes, we should really feel ashamed of ourselves though. Keep complaining all the time tho we have all the body parts available, having all the cash needed to travel ( overseas ), to eat ( at restaurants that not everyone can afford ), to attend schools, colleges,and later universities, but still WE COMPLAIN! Probably, we should try going back to the past and switch our lifestyles with the 60's to 90's East Berliners, then only we know how to appreciate what we have now?

Hopefully, it's not too late by then....

Friends, if you have more than enough, use them meaningfully ! :) you know how...

God bless!
