What do people in an ex-communist country dream of? It's very hard for me as a foreigner to imagine but every night I try to visulise what it was like for you before your fight for freedom, before I go to sleep I listen to the local radio station which plays requests for the people who have enough determination to stay even though they risk losing their lives. They played a song the other night with "c'est la vie" in the lyrics, in english it means "such is life" hearing this started me thinking. On the front line what is normal life, just living as well as one can and hoping for the best for the future, do you dream of finding happiness, sanity and peace of mind, what do the people on the front line dream of. Every night since the confrontation with communism started wherever the front line happened to be, people slept, slept through the insecurity of an uneasy sleep. Do you the freedom fighter's of Croatia realise what you have actually accomplished? You have fought and some even died to give your children the chance of a life with prospects, a life without poverty and mostly a life where everyone feels secure away from the risk of persecution for speaking, writing or doing what you really want to do. How can anyone of sane mind dream or even sleep with the threat that they might get blown to eternity while they're bodies try to find peace? Perhaps you are so accostomed to what is happening around you that you cannot sleep without the noises of the night. You the heroes of Croatia have lived and slept with the sounds of falling death and have become addicted to them. When you're eyes finally close, you hope and pray that while your bodies rest you will not die. You sleep thinking will the children be alright, are your relatives alright, will you yourselves be alive to see the rise of the morning sun. You sleep wondering where it is safest to sleep, where the carriers of death and destruction will attack from next, I do not really know what you dream of but I hope that you dream of everlasting peace in your country and only after the justified end of this war is reached. The chetniks and the Serbians only dream of new ways to torment, torture and persecute free living people of this your new country. The enemies minds are warped by the brainwashing tactics of the old and outdated communist regime, they want to hate communism but are trained to obey it, you the Croatians were once part of that regime but you found a cure for that illness, only one word was needed "Freedom", what a beautiful word. With that one word will come everything that the west has but first we must fight on until the genocidal maniacs dreams are nightmares, wondering where the next Croatian warriors are attacking from. They must live and sleep in fear for as long as they occupy our homeland. We can eventually find sleep knowing that what we fight for is justice, I hope that you will find the courage to continue to fight so that all the terrorists on our land will not want to sleep because they are terrified to do so. They must never be allowed to sleep on Croatian soil without them thinking that they are about to die. We must give them the same uneasy, nervous and tormented sleep that they have given to us. We want to sleep, we want to dream, we want to be free.
Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...
