More Stories From the Visit in Poland
“How much is the fish?”
While I was sitting on the bank of a big river Vistula there was a fisherman nearby, no luck for him for a long time, he moved to place where I was sitting and in seconds he caught a large fish and pulled it out. I said “nice fish, are you going to throw it back?”, the answer was “no, it’s food” and he ‘froze’ the fish with a knife. As a vegan I felt a bit uncomfortable with the situation, but I thought it is not an accident, what are the lessons? I felt nothing but confusion, I considered saying something, but would it be influencing? Actually there is nothing right or wrong with fishing, it’s just that people can eat happily other food. I looked at city buildings and asked myself “Is there anyone realizing that plant food is abundant enough? Why people suppress this information? Statistically there should be perhaps half of the population preferring plants only, why isn’t it that way?”
“Food for thought”
A homeless person went to me and asked for food. It was on the main market square in Cracow City. Personally I prefer rather sponsoring healthy, strong people doing something useful for humanity, giving money to unfortunate derelicts will just make more of them, giving money to an active research institute would bring much greater benefit for life altogether. What surprised me was a strange directness of that man saying that he just want to buy him food. I bought him something nearly vegan, he did not want fully raw vegan.
“Holy crap!”
In other part of the city I went to a church even thou I officially quit religion a year ago, I like occasionally going to empty churches, I noticed that soon there would be a mass, I wanted to review how it would appear to me now, especially that it had been years that I was last time in my native country. I came back in the middle of the mass and surprisingly a church was so full that it was hard to get inside, that shows the strength and how deeply rooted christianity is in this country. The mass ceremonies seemed foolish to me, they can make sense if you are blinded by a silent agreement that if everyone else thinks it’s holy it must be holy, for me it wasn’t at all so I left.
“Stars”
Enjoying good weather I was climbing mountains near Zakopane up to late evening each day, I really like the feeling of space around unobstructed by human presence. One of the last days I planned a long loop trip that could not be easily shortened, only if cancelling plans at some point and returning the same way. I felt strong enough to make it even when in the middle of the trip I calculated that it would be after 10pm when I arrive to the parking lot. There were still people somewhere on the way but they were probably based in tourist shelters in which I did not like to stop. I wanted to proceed and I basked in the magnificent glory of the mountains, however it began to be late and the were no people on the paths anymore, I also realized with a bit of a fright why the map showed that one distance was so time consuming. there was a high, steep slope on my way – with a lot of snow to make it even funnier. I sweated, went out of breath many times, but finally I climbed it over. I was going down in the valley in the deep night. I felt good except that it was hard to see the path and the stream nearby was too loud, I prefer total solitude. I spend few minutes gazing at the stars on an empty parking lot just with my car. The were still 20 minutes driving home.
