When our circumstances change, so does our mind. Some people may not be able to see the way things were before, and might not be able to appreciate them. There are many things to take away from this story, not just one.
This is one of the inspirational short stories that left me speechless.

Travelling to Cape Town

Sommerzeit – Winterzeit


(A) ALLE JAHRE WIEDER: Deutschland stellt von Sommerzeit auf Winterzeit um. Ob das gut oder schlecht ist, DARAN SCHEIDEN SICH DIE GEISTER. 

(B)  Viele freuen sich jedes Jahr auf die Sommerzeit, denn es bleibt länger hell und MAN HAT MEHR VON SEINEM FEIERABEND. Andere stehen der Zeitumstellung eher skeptisch gegenüber. Dazu gehören Eltern von Kleinkindern, deren Rhythmus empfindlich gestört wird.  Auch Landwirte sind nicht begeistert, denn die Fütterungszeiten und Melkzeiten der Tiere müssen umgestellt werden. Menschen mit Schlafstörungen oder organischen Erkrankungen haben Schwierigkeiten sich anzupassen und LAUT EINER STATISTIK werden nach jeder Zeitumstellung auf der Straße mehr Unfälle als sonst verzeichnet. 

(C)  Das sind nur einige der Probleme, die man aufzählen könnte. Wenn man bedenkt, dass sich die ursprüngliche Hoffnung auf Energie-Einsparung in keiner Weise erfüllt hat, könnte man schon die Frage stellen: Warum verabschiedet man sich nicht von dieser Idee?
