Last day of trip
Van Gogh museum, Rijsmuseum....it was great to be in Van Gogh museum again. I love this museum. I love the early Van Gogh's work, they're so much more meaningful and touching. I come away with a new perspective about life and about work.
In the end, life is about work. We get money from our work, money to pay for bread and shelter and if there's any leftover, to buy a leisure activity, whether it be traveling, entertainment or even a cheap computer to write a blog journaling our lives or to read other blogs about how the rest of the world lives. What are the riots about? First in Iran, then in Tunisia, Turkey, Yemen, Jordan and now Egypt. Even in the USA, everything on the surface seems calm and people seem contented, there is a growing population of unemployed, the official numbers are much less than the true numbers. We just watch them riot overseas while wondering when we, too, will do the same here.
