Today, when I came back from garden market, next to our secondary railroad, I had a great talk with another guy from our smalltown. When I walked to garden market, he came from there with a big houseplant and when I came back to rail stop, he waited for our railcar, too.
We know each other from seeing since years and we always greet each other.
He's much more handicapped than me, but he more or less can do well. And he does walk much, so he's still kind of fit.
When we started to small talk, it became comrade-like very fast and it went deeper. Talking with him was comfortable, because he had no nervousity. Very calm guy. And he was surprisingly good to understand!
I learned about his personal backround very soon. His parents gave him away early. But in GDR era, he of course had some "socialistic comfort", so he had not a bad time, growing up in our area.
And THEN, he suddenly said: "BUT I'M CONTENT WITH MY LIFE."
Man, that moment was kind of deep and felt good!
And funnily, it came out, that he has a similar mentality like me! He always prefers to have his peace, too! That's, why years ago he moved out of the handicapped people housing complex in one of our neighbor villages into a regular apartment in our smalltown.
