Boundaries

For my opinion philosophy is a great help for people, who consider, if they should break some boundaries, if they should leave a system. The best day in my life has been in 1989, when the WALL fell in Berlin. The reunification of East- and West-Germany was one of my life’s most important topics. The famous painting on the Berlin wall, featuring an East German car (Trabi) breaking through the wall is that great metaphor for breaking the rules, leaving a system, having guts and courage. Every human being sometimes needs the hope, that one is not fenced in by boundaries!
