Please
keep in mind: We don't see a man , living in Germany in the year 2010, being only
in a depressive mood.
The
following has to be considered for this man therefore:
He
hasn't received some heating oil just a moment ago, looking on the delivery note
and having seen the very high price of the oil.
He hasn't come just from the
petrol station , where he had to pay a lot of money to fill the tank of his automobile.
He
didn't think about his financial losses, he had because of some wrong advice from
the bank of his trust.
He doesn't think about the very, very low interest he
gets for the rest of his money from the bank.
He didn't think about the fact
, how little the banks have learnt from the last financial crisis of the year
2008 and the following, playing the old game again and again.
He
hasn't thought about the loudmouthed promises of his former German financial minister,
concerning the introduction of the EURO and its stability.
He doesn't think
about the way , how Greece came into the EURO-zone, how official statistics have
been "improved" and he doesn't think about the following consequences
for the exchange rate of the EURO to the DOLLAR.
And he doesn't think about a typical German speciality in political discussions: An Opponent with a different opinion is very often blamed as a member of right-wing radicalism - even if a quite absurd lot of phantasy is necessary to do this. There are many, many examples in Germany for this - too many. This is really a bad style for discussions and very frustrating for a serious democrat - you need not think about better arguments - a little defamation is sufficient to release from this effort. No, No, the man shown doesn't think about this , called in Germany the "Nazi- Keule".
And he doesn't think about the absurdities of the German system to diminish the number of the unemployed persons. By the way, the Nazi-Keule is used here too , if real arduments are missing.
....
No, really, he doesn't think about these bagatelles and trivialities- he is no typical German lamenting person, lamenting on a rather high level - looking all the time for the unpleasant aspects of the present Germann society. He suffers "only" from a quite "normal" depression, with other causes.
Additional comment: The plaque is fastened within a container of glass, forming an unity with it.
