A man around 50 (he happened to mention his age) asked me today at a bus stop, "why do young people these days destroy bus stops?"
And I thought: ‘Why me?!?’ Why do people choose to address such questions to me? (after all there were about 20 other people waiting for the bus).
Of course, I politely answered “Maybe, it’s because they are frustrated…”, “Why should they be frustrated?", he asked. “In my times, under the Communist regime…” and on it went.
Let me just tell you, dear reader, I am sick of the Communist regime!!! Not because I experienced it, but because not a day passes when I do not hear it mentioned!
That’s it for today- I am tired and cranky, as you can probably sense from this note…

It seems that every generation in Poland has to endure some traumatic memories of its parents and grandparents. For us it was WWII. I only hope that this unfortunate chain can finally be broken, and your children will have only your good memories to listen to.
i'am also fed up with all those stories about communism. it's enough, just let us live people
That's precisely what I meant when I wrote this post. I can and I do acknowledge the fact that many people were hurt by the regime, and I'm truly sorry for them, but it was a long time ago... Why can't we just move on and focus on building the future?
