Healthy

At some point I learned from reports that Christian society saw laughter as diabolical. Hearty laughter was forbidden centuries after Christ. However, I also heard that laughter came before humans developed. So we inherited the laughter that came from the bottom of our hearts from the animals! (Who else could have brought so much happiness and warmth into our world ... ??? !!!)

The term ›the creatures without hearty laughter‹, which we invented for you, is not meant to be evil! We have our own special nicknames for all of the inhabitants we discovered on busy planets.

Furthermore, I not only noticed that my fellow human beings did not have a real sense of humor and happiness, but I also felt that most of them looked quite unhappy, sad and lonely. And it seemed to me that people were more or less just living side by side instead of living together. So I wish I could change something on earth. For a moment I thought about writing a book about life. I wanted to show my fellow human beings that humans were "pack animals" and that they needed and loved to live in a community. I also noticed that even a family was usually not in a position to look after their relatives and to be there for them. At least not in affluent countries. Again and again the handicapped, old, physically or mentally weak were sorted out from the families, given away and roughly pushed to the margins of society. Unfortunately, I was aware that this behavior to weed out the not entirely "healthy" from the middle of society was human nature. Animals did this too. They did this in order to be able to survive and go on living unscathed and carefree. And we humans were nothing but highly developed animals. However, animals did not consciously sort their weak and sick conspecifics out of the middle of their society, but only because their instinct advised them to do so. But humans could think consciously and logically and therefore knew exactly what they were doing. At least most people knew what they were doing and could control it. After all, some were firmly convinced that they were GOD'S image. He thought he was as pure and wise as the Creator. For this reason it was possible to make people understand that their handicapped, weak, sick and old people had just as much a right to a normal and fulfilled life as they did. If they wanted to be as clever as their Creator! But above all, we had to try to bring more human warmth to this planet. I had become aware of this at an advanced age.

However, I quickly dismissed the idea of writing a book. In order to formulate something longer correctly, I just couldn't express myself well enough in writing. Nevertheless, in my younger years I was constantly urged to change something in this world. And something big at that. But it would be years before I found out about my life's work, which required me to actually change something .. "

.......

“Then came the autumn of the year two thousand and one, which was to change everything in my life from the ground up. I can still vividly remember that the day we met for the first time was quite cold and stormy.

Even after the very first look with which I eyed you curiously, I knew that you were the person I had been looking for so desperately all my life. At first this "certainty" confused me a lot.

On this autumn day you introduced yourself to me in a very quiet and calm tone and said you were the new masseur in the massage practice where I had been a patient for a long time. By the way, it was very amusing to see how you almost bent the plastic of your ballpoint pen and melted it. ”I winked at my husband with a broad grin and nudged his elbow lightly.

“I had to hold on to something. I was excited because everything was so new to me. Because I had only been working at Katja's practice for almost three days and I had never treated such a physically handicapped person as you. Nowadays I would have taken my cell phone straight out of my pocket to check important appointments. It's funny that after finishing my studies as a technical draftsman I decided to learn the profession of masseur. But suddenly I was so interested in human anatomy that I decided not to just sit at the computer. Yes, I was fascinated by how people could be relieved of their pain through relatively simple, external influences and banal manipulations, without giving them any high-dose medication. Then I decided to finish my studies first, to work in my profession for a while and then to train as a masseur. Because in my job I was still able to work, or as a technical draftsman I was able to finance my training to become a masseur, ”Jonas said, chewing on his lip, indulging in his memory.

“For this I also confirmed with excitement and with great effort that I suffer from permanent severe neck and back pain, just as Katja had told you. Because every time I met strangers, my physical tension became so strong that I had very great difficulty speaking. But strangely enough, my excitement left my body really quickly this time, so that in just four weeks I was able to tell you whole stories that you understood well. At first I didn't know why. Because most of them found it difficult to understand me properly. But soon you understood every single sound I made. Even if it was so indistinct! I have often asked myself whether I was calmer with you or whether you only approached people who were classified as marginalized differently. Perhaps that is why I felt so comfortable and safe around you.
