Our lives are most important

[mjseu]

I did light my candle also in this evening and immediately one thought came to my mind: our lives are most important. We must try to live as well as possible and respect our lives as much as possible. After my divorce in America in March 2000 I lived over two years in my automobile in America, mostly in Miami and Miami Beach, but I drove to many different places such as LA, SF, NYC, Washington DC, New Orleans, Atlanta and elsewhere. I wanted to survive and the money I received in the divorce settlement enabled me to live like that and to survive in different places of America. In my car I developed a new way of thinking. In May 2002 I came back to my town where I was born in Finland and since then I have kept the list of people who have died and now in my list there are 74 names, basically these are people whom I have known and they have died to various causes such as throat and lung cancer, alcohol, heart problems and so on. I am trying to have an effort to meet new people whom I do not know yet so that I could socialize with other people. We are just the small town here in eastern Finland not very far from the Russian border. We have a couple of hundred of the Ukrainian refugees and I can understand them how they have left everything behind and come to my little town to find more security and safety. After watching some YouTube videos I really understand that they escaped from the hell that is currently happening in their cities and towns in Ukraine. I understand that we all want to survive and live as long as possible, and hopefully 30 years from now I can still read my postings that I am making today.
