"... but was has changed is that we have accepted that multiculturalism is here to stay. It's not going away, we will have to learn how to live forever with diffrence, with people who follow diffrent rules.
Living with diffrence is an art of life, one of the most difficult aspects of art of life because it's always disquieting, slightly frightening. You don't know how to behave, you are not sure what the situation is and if you really understand eachother well. You feel anxious, apprehensive... right? But now we know this situation will last..."
Zygmunt Bauman was being interviewed on tonight's Mosaik and said something like that (and much more). An old man in an armchair smoking his pipe. He looked just as wise as he must be and I can't wait to read "Modernity and the Holocaust" which I recently bought. I have wanted to read that book for a very long time and have a feeling it will become one of my favorites, just like Erich Fromm's "Escape from freedom".
Tomorrow I'm going with Elin to her film-history class because they are watching Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph des Willens" which I also have wanted to see for ages.
And then I better start writing my Estonian-article because on Monday at 12 o'clock it should be finnished...
