Afterwards I went to eat some pizza with my grandma and my greek aunt and had some discussions. My greek aunt is a nice person, but she's not thaaaaat clever. The first point she said was that the USA were responsible for the damage in Syria. I'm not a pro USA and contra Syria, it's not even the other way around, I'm neutral. But just to say that's the USA's fault is not right. Maybe the USA had helped the process od destruction, but first of all, it was Syria that damaged itself. Things like this happend when the people feel depressed, when they hunger and have bad living conditions. That's what damaged Syria, not the USA. Of course the USA helped the resistance because it follows interests, but every country follows interests, that's for sure. Otherwise Greece would have been beaten out of the EU, at least they tear down the whole Europe.
The second very stupid thing she said was about Mafia. She said: "Do you know the real definition of mafia? Nobody does, but I do. The definition is that they give s.th. to s.b. but not for free. The recipient always has to give it back. They're like the jewish people, they never do something for you."
First of all, how can you say that the mafia is like a people? you can't generalize! Of course there are nasty jewish people, but you find this people all over the world. All humans on earth are equal, there isn't a good nationality and a bad nationality. You can't even say, all german's are nazis, they're all evil and the greeks are nice and friendly because that's not true. It alays depends on the character of a single person, there is not a character of a nationality. There may be some differences due to the different habits, clima and culture, but in general all people are the same. so how can you compare a people to the mafia. Second thing is, that she didn't define the mafia, but only told something about their characteristics and actions. There IS a simple definition of mafia, it's organized criminality.
Of course there was a development of the mafia during the time, but it was always a criminal group, also when they tried to liberalize Italy, it still was in a criminal way. I found some clues where the word mafia came from. My aunt said that it's sure that it was an arabic word that meant salvation or something like that.
I looked it up and here the different expressions that could be connected to mafia.
I took it from the german wikipedia page when I typed in the word "mafia". here the results.
- maha – Höhle oder Grotte (cave)
- ma hias – Angeber, überheblich, dreist, Zerstörer (blowhard, arrogant, arrant, destroyer)
- mahfil – Versammlung, Stätte der Begegnung (meeting, a place where you meet)
- mu' âfâ – Schutz bieten, Beschütztheit (to protect, protector)
- Ma' âfir – Ein sarazenischer Stamm, der von 831 bis 1072 in Palermo regierte. (this is not important)
Aus dem Sizilianischen:
- mafiusu, marfusu – arrogant, eingebildet, aber auch selbstsicher, mutig, schön (In innersizilianischen Dialekten hat sich eine positive Bedeutung von mafiusu bis heute erhalten. Eine Wortabkunft aus dem Arabischen wird angenommen.) (arrogant)
Aus anderen italienischen Dialekten:
- malfusso – ungläubig, diskreditiert, Krimineller (aus dem Toskanischen, nachweisbar seit dem 15. Jahrhundert) (unbelievable, criminal)
- mafia oder maffia – Armut, Not (florentinischer Dialekt) (poverty)
- mafi, mafio oder mafiun – kleinwüchsiger, missgestalteter Mensch; Rüpel, Bauer ohne Manieren, der weder spricht noch antwortet, Dieb (piemontesischer Dialekt, seit 1830 im mundartlichen Wörterbuch des C. Zalli eingetragen.) (vertically challenged; a farmer without manors, a thief etc.)
Laut Duden hat das Wort arabische und italienische Ursprünge und bedeutet Anmaßung.[1]
In the german dictionary it's said that the word comes from the italian and arabic and means arrogance.
- M.A.F.I.A. – „Morte Alla Francia, Italia Anela“ = „Den Tod Frankreichs ersehnt sich Italien“ oder „Morte Ai Francesi, Invasori, Assassini“ = „Tod den Franzosen, Invasoren, Mördern!“ (Nach der Legende Schlachtruf und Auftakt der Sizilianischen Vesper zur Vesperstunde des Ostermontags am 31. März 1282.) (Death to France, desired Italy; from the legend of the Sicilian Vesper on the Monday of Easter 31. March 1282)
- M.A.F.I.A. – „Mazzini Autorizza Furti Incendi Avvelenamenti.“ = „Mazzini befiehlt Raub, Brandstiftung und Giftmorde.” (Akrostichon aus der Parole des Geheimbundes umGiuseppe Mazzini) (Mazzini calls out for robbery, arson and poisoning)
That's what I found about the word. Not many positive things huh? I'll have to show this to my aunt so she knows that what she talked about didn't really make sense at all.
So much to yesterday. About today, I had some trouble with a good friend. I think that he fell in love with me and now he told me that he doesn't want to be my friend anymore or to meet me because he doesn't want to be just a friend. He said s.th. like my bf or we won't see each other anymore. I understand that he acts like this, it's honest and I would actually do the same, but I told him at the beginning when we first met at facebook that I wasn't interested in more than a friendship. If he had these kind of problems, he could have told me earlier.
This leads me to the topic I wanted to write about today, what a girl wants.
I'll show you two pictures. (And don't come with "I only care about the character" because that's not true)
The handsome man on the first picture is Chris Hemsworth. He's the actor of Thor, Marvell Avengers and Snow White and the hunter. The man on the second picture is Rainer Calmund, a former soccer player who is very cosidered well in Germany.
I guess that 100% of the girls would decide to take number one, Why? It's natural. I think that is has something to do with the theory of the evolution. You remember that Darwin said that natural election is the survival of the fittest? It has to do with sexual election. In the animal world the females always serach the animal who is the strongest in order to have strong descendants. An animal who has shiny colors shows that he is stronger, because, although he might have problems because his hunters see him better, he still survived throughout the years, what means that he is actually stronger than the one with less shiny colors and that he can make a better life for is children. It's the same with us humans, cause humans are animal of course. We want a goodlooking, masculine guy because he shows his strentgh and can garant a better life (he's a better hunter etc.) So it's normal that a girl wants a guy with a nice body.
Second thing what I recognized. You often want the opposite of you. I have brown eyes, brown hair, I'm small and I love blonde guys who are a little bit scandinavian. If you take a look at all my favourite actors or singers, they're all blonde with blue or green eyes.Also when a dark man is beautiful, it doesn't attract me.
I think that has to do with nature who tries to mix us up so that the gens become mixed up and that the human race can improve. When gens aren't mixed up, it happens to us like to the noblemen a few hundret years ago. Due to the fact that they always married their cousains or sisters to remain the power in their own families many of them had mentaly or physically illnesses. Blood has to be mixed to be healthy, so, to prevent this accidents many people like the things they don't have. My italian cousain for example looks like me, but prefers blonde girls with blue eyes. Funny, isn't it?
About the character. What kind of boy does a girl want? I don't know, it's difficult. When I liked a boy, he didn't have some specialy characteristics I liked about him. It's just that I liked him, I don't know why. The sympathy was already there in the beginning. The character becomes important after you met a person, at the beginning you can't know what kind of person you're talking to. I like boys who are funny, who make jokes and who make me laugh. I remember a failed date in Japan with a guy who was so shy that we didn't talk to each other at all. I'm a person who loves irony and funny stories, but I didn't know what do say to that guy because I was so embarassed by the silence. I didn't know wether he would understand irony or my joke and that made me become shy to. When I had a date with my last japanese love interest, everything seemed so fine. He fell down, we took the broken Karaoke chamber, but all in all, I laughed a lot. And it's important to laugh, it's even healthy and good for the skin color hahahaha XD
Second point is that he is honest to you. There's nothing worse than a guy who tells you that he loves you and than cheats on you. But I think you already know that.
