Changes in our society

In last week my scout told me that he won elections for the chairman of school self-government. He said that he succeeded it only, because he promised to change grey toilet paper to white, perfumed and soft. That showed me terrible truth about youth people - they lost values of our civilization. They chose hedonism instead of working on strong character and inner power. Fortunately, little Klemens and other scouts will go with me on scout camp and they will find out that real happiness is possible only when there is also suffering and not having perfumed toilet paper.

Weather forecasts

I was using several weather forecasts. Some of them from internet, some from TV. They are quite good - people predict weather well enough. Of course, sometimes happen mistakes. Everyone experienced it - you are planning a trip, wheather forecasts are good, but then it's rainy. Recently I found out about weather predictions made by ICM( Interdyscyplinarne Centrum Modelowania UW). They are different from tradicional forecasts, because they are made with calculated data from sensors in whole Europe. Since months ago I have not be confused by this weather. It shows that over time much more occupations are substituted by machines and computers. And these do their work better.

Life in Scandinavia

Recently I compared two countries where I have been: Norway and Iceland. In many ways they look similar - two high developed countries. People earn a lot oj money, there is no famine, poverty is on very low level.  However I observed that life of ordinary people is different. In Norway people's behaviour seems like artificial and they look like would be sad. Everything is very clean, there are no one on the streets after 7 p.m and it looks good, but unnatural. In Iceland situation is opposite. Streets are full of Icelanders they are singing and even I was invited few times for party. It can be cultural differences, but in Norway there are much more bans and life is more controled by goverment. Maybe it's the reason of Norwegians' unhappiness.
