“I am Switzerland”
Switzerland is a small landlocked country with no natural resources and a small population but strategically placed in the middle of Europe, making it an easy target for manipulation and control by other nations. As such, without going into the history ,it has, of necessity, had a policy of neutrality in terms of international conflict. It does not take sides, out of fear, vulnerability, need to preserve and protect its identity.
Meaning of Life?
“And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.”
~Raymond Carver
