This time it is an extract from one of my fav movies.
LOL I am sorry for bothering with all these things, but the film is awesome: Das Leben der Anderen (The lifes of the others), one of the few German sinema I like.
It's a speech, written in 1986 in the GDR (1949-1989), East Germany. The conditions there were just awful, surveillance was everywhere...the only thing that functioned in this state.
Everyone spied on everyone and wewe could be send to jail if wewe alisema sth against the government.
Stasi is the name of this organisation, it means safety of the state.(it spied on everybody).
Socialism was the form of government.
Seperated through the Berlin ukuta from the rest of Germany...
Ok, here it comes.
"The national Central Administration Board for statistics in the Hans Baimler mitaani, mtaa counts everything, knows everything: How many shoes I buy per year: 2.3, how many vitabu I read a year: 3.2 and how many students graduate from school with an average of A every year: 6347.
But one countable thing is not counted there, maybe because such numbers even hurt bureaucrats, and that's suicide.
If wewe should call Baimler mitaani, mtaa and ask how many people were driven into death kwa despair between Elbe (river) and Oder (river), between Baltic sea and Erz Mountains, then our number oracle remains silent and probably writes down your name, for the Stasi (safety of the state).
Those grey men who enforce safety and happiness in our country.
In 1977 our country stopped counting suicides (persons) (if wewe translate it literally the German word used here is self-murderer), suicides that's what they called them, but this action has nothing to do with murder.
It doesn't know blood rage, it doesn't know passion, it only knows dying, dying of hope.
As we stopped to count 9 years zamani there was only one country in Europe that drove zaidi people into suicide: Hungary.
After that it was us, after that it was the country of really existing socialism."
