I just can't stand the state I am in. There is total unwillingness to do anything that is concerned school. Anything. No a snigle task seems interesting or worth to make. This is very unusual for me, since I almost always have done what I have to do without complainig. Senti's essays, for example. Those were loads of work, I could spend whole day writing them, and doing my other homework. And I did not feel that this would cause me any inconvenience. I mean, what you have to do, you have to do, this belief has followed me since my childhood.

But now it is like this. Whenever I have to do something, I hesitate. I do not want to. I have even started to dislike going to school, which is also uncommon concerning me. Really, the best way to spend the day now would be just being lazy and doing nothing at all, without even thinking about duties, homework, without keeping the timetable of the day in my mind.

And the worst part of this is the fact that I do not know why this has happened to me. Maybe it is because the winter goes to the end, and I am physiologically tired of it, but the spring that could bring some energy has not come yet. Or, it is because of the driving school, which I must attend each Saturday and Sunday at 9 o'clock, thus depriving me from the usual sleep in the weekends. Or maybe I am just tired?

I hope this ends soon. The spring is coming, after all.

Tas bija lieliski.

This one goes for my stand on the recent matters with the caricatures in the Danish newspaper. As far as I know, the European Council has agreed not to apologize about them, but has only expressed regret for the disorder they have caused. In my opinion, their idea is right, since we should not apologize for something that we can not be blamed for.

First of all, the Western World, the society of Western Europe and North America, highly appreciates freedom of thought, freedom of expression. In our culture the censorship is abolished, and there are very few limits to state openly someone's ideas, opinions and beliefs. We can make comments on politicians, officials, presidents, kings and queens. We can draw caricatures or comics about them. No one is so absolutely high-ranked that we would be afraid of saying something bad about him or her. Therefore I think the islamic world has to accept this, as well as we would accept their traditions when living in their country.

Secondly, this is a secular society. There are thousands of comics about God, Jesus and other religious characters of christianity. And, although they sometimes may seem offensive , the most of religious people do not tip their hat to them. I mean, if someone truly believes in something, they do not take nonsense like this seriously. To my mind, this could be some kind of intended trouble-making, since there are many groups of fighters that are very aggressive towards the West.

And finally, there is certain proof about this statement. According to what I read in "Diena", the caricatures were first printed in September. September 2005, much time has definitely passed since then! AND, those two most offensive pictures printed in the booklet, that created the scandal, had been added only then. They had never been printed in the newspaper. It seems to me some kind of provocation, to increase pressure and tension between the West and the East.

Of course, we should be careful not to hurt other people's feelings. Still, this case looks like a deliberate act of provoking hate, thus no apology is needed. In contrary, I think the politicians should keep this accident in mind as a method of causing trouble in the world.
