Nearly 250 000 people in Berlin protesting against Racism and Marginalisation (13.10.2018) - Part 1

In a World that witnesses the rise and/or resurgence of Racism, Nationalism and Ostracism, I feel happy to see that so many stood up and walked together to set a stand against ideas, principles or doctrines I never thought - until a few years ago - I would have to face to that extent here in Europe one Day again.

In the French language, the expression “c’est dans les vieux pots qu’on fait les meilleures soupes”, that literally translates into “the best soups are cooked in the old pots”, means: “the old methods are the best”. 

One of the equivalent idioms in the English language is: “Experience always wins the day”. 

I like the English expression. It leaves room for re-interpretation. It can be interpreted for the best. Experience is needed to wipe out the Fear. Racism and Ostracism are consequences of Fear: the Fear of the Other, the Fear of other cultures, the Fear of Change.

So, if you think that the best soups are made in the old pots, please instead of heating up old, reactionary, and obscurantic opinions, try to apprehend the expression word-for-word - keep it on the culinary side! 

Cook together with the Other…Open up, Meet the Other, get to know Her/Him, speak with Her/Him, make your own Experience. 

Please don’t Reheat Bullshit that eventually costed the lives of 70-80 millions of fellows within only a few years. Not even one hundred years ago! Bullshit that still kills daily worldwide…
