About the necessity to meet in person

BERLIN - May 15, 2018 - PRLog -- Dear reader, please understand this short article as a critical reflection on our current situation, a situation that few of us may understand in full, and who are prepared to act accurately.

While being on a business trip in Asia, I had the fortunate possibility to meet and to sit down with two colleagues of mine. It was one of these moments beyond social media, phone conferences, short and voice messages. We got lost in time and created our own micro cosmos of eye contact and gestures, exchange thoughts and lots of laughter. What was going on?

If we are able to reject this information terrorism that is accepted and supported by our governments, only than we will be able to get control of our lives again and master our destiny. Too sad indeed, that it is government that concentrates more on the financial turnover of their states, than on protecting and investing in the citizens. We are running the risk to impoverish more and more regarding of both – education and social competence. … (by Daniel Erdmann)
