Victim Syndrome

 We often listen to the problems of others or their difficult life experiences. We are often introduced to victims of war and/or violence. However, we are too rarely aware that we do not actually know the person well enough and have not witnessed events when these people were victims of war or violence. We simply do not know whether this person is an actual victim of war and/or violence or has simply made up horrible stories.

I am very often accused of being heartless. However, I often defend myself that many facts are actually verifiable.

Starvation corresponds to checking with a scale and measuring height. We are all probably familiar with the story of ideal weight in relation to our height. And of course, given this definition of ideal weight, malnutrition or overweight also correspond. Even if a person claims that water is accumulating in their body and because of this they look fatter and weigh more, we can measure this with ordinary magnetic scales.

Sever injuries to the skin and other tissue caused by beatings or shootings or cutting usually leave scars. Even skeletal injuries that occurred in the past can still be identified as bone or skin healing. The same applies to sexual violence or even rape. Rape also leaves traces.

In short, we do not deal with determining whether someone is a victim of violence or not, simply send them to a doctor. There are real victims and imaginary victims. In addition to doctors, we also have a number of institutions that professionally provide all psychosocial assistance. We also have Social Work Centers. And we also have the police in the country, which are supposed to respond to calls for help and protect victims from attackers.

When we follow these simple instructions and refer so-called victims there, where they are supposed to professionally assess whether they are victims or not, we also avoid the situation of being exploited by imaginary victims or people who have victim syndrome. We must also be aware that unless we are an official, we do not have the ability to verify facts, circumstances or data. Only officials with special authorizations have this right.

Is BRICKS a threat to the West?

   The artificially created BRICKS currency has been around since 2006. Its function is designed and defined as an attempt to establish a universal currency for international business, which will help BRICKS members to be more secure against the so-called influence of the West. The first group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa was joined by the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia in all these years until October 2024. Saudi Arabia is also mentioned. The purpose of this year's meeting of BRICS members was also to increase the number of members, as more than 30 countries were expected to attend the meeting, and they tried to inspire them to accept BRICS in international trade by showing the growth of gross domestic product (GDP) or a measure of economic activity, or one of the indicators of the country's economic development. According to the BRICKS alliance, the G7 (USA, Canada, Japan, France, Italy, Great Britain and Germany) are facing tough times. T...

Which representatives would you vote for?

    We are once again in the time of resounding, glorious elections, when the people chose their representatives. Of course, the selection of people's representatives is always based on how well the candidates presented their programs to the wider masses. Of course, the selection of representatives is also based on what suits the broad masses of voters in these programs . Crowds of voters tend to like hearing stories and promises of their success, prosperity and peace. They are less willing to hear about other people's problems. This was also evident in this year's elections in the USA. A lot of people want to have their own interests and well-being in the first place in their country. Only after their needs are met would they deal with other problems and the well-being of others. Of course, this election story is also conditioned by the existing situation in the country. When a country lives in peace with other countries, it may think about ensuring peace for others as wel...

Politika in draginja

Obeti ali napovedi za letošnje leto spet niso najboljši kot se večkrat pokaže v vsakdanjem življenju. Politični  vrhovi posameznih tako imenovanih razvitih držav so več kot očitno pozabili, da je eden od pogojev za uspešno poslovanje, ki se odraža tudi v naši vsakodnevni košarici za preživetje, pravzaprav obdobje miru, ne pa vojne. Vojno stanje ali vojna nevarnost prinaša namreč dodatne obremenitve državljanov v obrambne namene. Samo vojno stanje pomeni uničevanje, ne samo življenj, ampak tudi premoženja in seveda tudi onemogočeno poslovanje. In seveda tudi manj pritoka denarja v državni proračun in večje državne izdatke. Tako se rušilna in uničevalna narava vojnega stanja projicira v rušilno in uničevalno moč gospodarstva in s tem tudi našega vsakdana. Vojna pomeni pomanjkanje dobrin in s tem tudi draginjo že osnovnih življenjskih potrebščin zaradi uničenja tovarn in polj. Vojna pomeni draga bivališča, saj jih je veliko ali celo večina poškodovanih ali uničenih. Vojna pomeni tudi ...
