You don't need to be sorry Tom. It is just that I don't have time to be translating the meaning. I probably will find it out later. In the meantime, I am sure that you are just as anxious as the world as to how Merkel will propose for a solution for this problem. I wouldn't be surprised if she would find a way to alleviate her responsibility and be insisting about her humanitarian motives.
The very premise of your statement, "it takes a self-aware person to know his/her strength, talents and skills...." Yes indeed, and unfortunately not always that people are aware of what they have and or don't have. I myself is not always on the self awareness level but most of the time, I know when I am being controlled without regard to what I want and how I want things done.
Ideally yes, but if you look at the record of so many people, there are some that live in a very hostile environment and while it is not necessarily always caused by control (ling partner) or lack of it, it is out there.
for the purpose of this post I see personally a case where one is way too controlling at the demise of the other.
That is a very good way to put it Jono. Yes indeed, the primary objective of both parties is to have a harmonious and fun loving relationship. Control is one that does make it other work or not. But to exercise dominance over the other is a poison to the other. Unless of course, as one put it in the previous page, there are some that just wants to be a doormat.
On top of that, the deception that she played underestimates the misery that the whole union is confronted with. Can she now say: "I am sorry but I thought I was doing a good job for them! At your expense."
I think this is the root of the problem Chris. The overindulgence of Germany to control and over run the whole system of Europe.
Having said that, this is a conundrum that she must settle for the rest of the world.
Solution is nowhere to be found and I believe that is the reason why she is slating for an emergency summit. This should be interesting and if I were there, I would definitely make her eat her own stink for lacking the insight to have foreseen this.
Felixis, I believe that both persons in the relationship has weaknesses and strength. I would assume that for a healthy relationship, there must be some kind of an agreement to let each flow with their character without having to succumb to submissiveness.
Lol..I do buy my own car, and of course, choose my own color and my own specific features. I bought a used ferrari, but there was too much problem with it so I am looking forward to the new 435 manual transmission in black. I have an X5 although I always drove corvettes, and cobra and also porsches.. manual transmission, my ex was a car racer and we both enjoyed performance and power.
Serene, while I taught my children much the same way as I was, I never questioned their decision upon adulthood. Now it is very important for me to have others respect mine as I do theirs. No imposition and neither would I, although of course, for whom I am with, he must be a Christian. The fundamentals of religion to me directs our ways of life and it is important to have a unity in the foundation of our relationship.
No you are not stupid enough to think of it, let alone accept for the need.
and that is the very reason why she deceived the whole world but showing a gesture of kindness and sympathy, only to self serve her own agenda, at the expense of every citizens in Europe.
She is a manipulator and full of deceit if you ask me.
On the original post, one lady from Ireland was so upset because of unthinkable motivation other than kindness and it got proven wrong..
It is very obvious that the deception that Merkel played on the whole of the world, showing a gesture of sympathy, has poisoned her reputation and leadership.
At least she could have come upfront on her motivation and then specifically stringed them only to his land.
I am very positive Capri, Merkel will have to face not only the politicians but the whole of the world.
I am thinking had she not make it look like a gesture of sympathy, as the papers originally labeled it, it would have been a different matter. It does show a big deception on her part to self serve their need at the expense of the whole Union.
Galway, whether the world like it or not, I believe Germany flashed a beacon of hope for these people and voila, that is the challenge that need to be fixed now. How? That is yet to be found out.
The acute problem right now Chris is that it seems only Germany is benefiting from this imbroglio it has put Europe into. Definitely it will spur unrest and until they can figure out what is the best solution it is an uphill battle that needs to be corrected.
Well from an economic point of view, the German work force right now is taking advantage of this opportunity. It works both ways and that is exactly what is happening right now. The problem is, there are many small countries in Europe that don't welcome this invasion. It would be very interesting to know what the core of the summit would be.
The title of the story: "Germany's next test: Jobs for Migrants."
I hope that there is no displacement of any labor force from among the natives. Although it was posted that of course, Germany does need these labor to fill in their needs.
Headline on the WSJ today is a picture depicting so many migrants stopped at the border in Hungary with uniformed officers guarding the post.
Meantime on the editorial on page A8 is another headline and that is the training of this new workers for the jobs that are assigned.
Note: In the previous post it was the core of the discussion why Germany turned 180 degrees in opening its door to these migrants. It is beyond any doubt, that manpower is indeed the major reason why they are welcomed with more than an open arms.
MPO is that there is a blunder committed on this policy and Europe is in limbo on how to deal with it.

Borders are tightened while Merkel calls for emergency summit
