Life is a journey: Live it (Part 51)

The other autobiography
As Emma Heerde against the original agreement had received her half I had to pay my two sisters from my half and add something. In the end, Sabine Fuchs got her part while Heidi Jürgensen refused in an email exchange with Madam Perner her inheritance claiming my mother died empty-handed and that I had to prove the money was hers. Confused. Either my mother had money and I stole it or she had no money that I could not have stolen. She knew that money was connected to the death of our mother.

My wife Alberta said Emma Heerde used witchcraft to confuse lawyer Jutta Baerthel and make her do what she normally would not have done. Certain Jutta Baerthel herself would wonder about what had happened.

I was often criticized not having contributed my share to the funeral costs of my mother. Now it hopefully gets clearer. My share was fully covered by my inheritance. Why send money to Germany when all my sisters had to do was take it from my ex-wife? Did it make sense?”

“No, not really. You had to go all the way to prove your innocence and that meant to accept shame and disgrace,” said Susanne Fröhlich and smiled feeling relieved. “You had a tough life…for sure.”

“When someone wants to live a quiet life no problem. In that case stay in your corner, please others and deny yourself for what you were created, avoid conflicts and changes in you and others, smile when you want to cry, keep your mouth shut when you witness Injustice, let others in exchange for your peaceful life have dominion over you, work as asked of you, enjoy the small pension you truly deserve, live another twenty years before the worms knock at your coffin preparing your soul they have come to eat the flesh from your bones before the bones get rotten and dusted into time. That's an option for sure. Never an option for me. Each morning waking up, I look right into my face in the bathroom. God has not brought me here to each, drink, sleep and die. He brought me here as a tool of his peace like I pray every morning. And the tool has to see what goes wrong around me. When I spot injustice or wrongs I cannot keep quiet but must speak my mind. Sometimes I am right, sometimes wrong. Even when wrong it triggers a discussion and together over time we collectively can find a better way out and forward

When people…just yesterday on Facebook, going by the name Don Prange supposedly from London attacked me saying I better jump into the river…while Hamburg is at the river Elbe, or another one hour before asked me to hang myself to me it is always great entertainment and fun. Politicians like German Chancellor Friedrich Robert Merz or former German Minister for Environment Robert Harbeck file hundreds of defamation cases against opponents even though hate speech is part of the life of politicians and is part of everybody's experience on social media platforms. For me, it is not nice but great entertainment. I laugh it off. Wilhelm Shakespeare wrote great plays which I always remember in such events and…feel well entertained. So, if you want to impact the world, make good meaningful times in your life. In that case, learn to deal with such opposition and brush it off. When you leave the theatre and go home, brush the dust off your shoulders and have a wonderful peaceful sleep.”

“Wisdom comes at a price,” declared Tobias Wittmann with confidence.

“And age!” was I quick to add.
