- To see what, houses?
He was feeling that what had been built was essential for defining a place, just that for
him it didn't mean anything. And the ancestor blocks like matchboxes built by the
communists tell you that building from the ground floor to the first floor is the opposite
of the add-on increment of...nothing. And that is if you think in Eras. Yes, I don't
remember what I was observing, if it was concrete, but I was doing it.
I remember a tram and I was the only one passenger, at 11 p.m. And a police man who
offered to drive me home. At which the motorman added:
- There's no need, other colleagues of yours convinced themselves. He knows exactly
where to get down and you can talk like to a grown-up person with him.
Back than there was no danger to walk on the streets during the night, unless you didn't
see well. And if some nervous parents were waiting for you.
Later, at 20 years old ...I remember the wonder on an old man's face:
- Boy, you talk like an old man, with a lot of life experience.
Anyways, when I was 8 years old I gave up walking, because I got married. With the
reading, which is a very good and obedient girlfriend. You won't find another one like
her not even in Tibet.
By the age of 10 I was reading almost all books from section children of Astra library,
and by the age of 14 the most important adults ones. When I was 15 I replaced the study
with action, which was forbidden in communist Romania, don't matter what kind of
action. I understood why I was born here...what you easily get in other places, here you
get through big struggle. This is how it always was and that is how it will remain from
now on. It is the difference between watching a war movie from your comfortable place
and participating to one, in big fire of the enemy. Who doesn't live here will think I
overreact, a lot, especially that Romania seems to be a modern country. But especially
during communism, the situation was a real Imo Jima, you could get yourself to be the
strongest soldier in the world, just because you were going to buy bread. In full peace
and prosperity of the world, we had a card for bread, what to say more ...Poverty,
shortages made a bad world pushed to maximum and everything was a danger. On the
other hand, it was a society that functioned and in which you could also get some
satisfactions, even primitive ones.
