Migration. Immigration. Emigration

Olivian Breda — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 07:22:09 +0000

“As many as 3.4 million Romanians have fled the country since it joined the European Union in 2007. The figure represents 17 per cent of the country’s total population. The exodus is unprecedented anywhere in Europe during peacetime. Over the same period, only war-torn Syria has seen a higher percentage of its citizens emigrate.” (New Statistics Confirm Romania’s Demographic Catastrophe – Emerging Europe) About living abroad, I think the following tends to be more true than not: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” ― George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman We need people who are at least partially unhappy with the situation, so that there is changeMigration.

Crammed subway

Olivian Breda — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 05:59:18 +0000

Sometimes, at the subway/tube, there are delays in train circulation. What happens after such a delay is that some trains come crammed with people, and you can’t get in. My solution? (note – it’s not always the optimal solution) Take the tube in the opposite direction, and get on a subway a few stops earlier. It’s much more likely that the subway train will have fewer passengers at earlier stations, and I can get in.Crammed subway

Starting with the divide

Olivian Breda — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 10:18:00 +0000

One friend of mine told me that at the beginning of a school year, at the opening ceremony, a teacher told them something in the lines of – “Welcome to the best high school in all Constanța”. There was just a small, tiny, little problem – it was clearly not the best high school in Constanța. The best high school in Constanța is, by pretty much all measures, Mircea cel Bătrân National College (Constanța). Of course, if you compare two entities with lots of features and comparison options, perhaps the teacher was right – in some specific niche, in some specific situations, there might be disputes on which is the “best” high school. But coming back to the original assertion – that’s not the way to start the school year. There are so many ways in which you can find bridges between two high schools, and yet, you start the year with the divide. All those school years, the pupils will likely question which really is the best high school in Constanța. That shouldn’t be the question and the dilemma. It doesn’t even matter. What good is of me to know that a few hundred kilometers away you can go into a high school that is in top 10 in the world? This information brings me little to no value. And if you start with negative things (comparison, what divides us, how are you different than me, why are you better/worse than me), you tend to keep staying in that place. That’s not the place ...

The watermelons seller

Olivian Breda — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 10:50:04 +0000

I buy watermelons from a local seller. He doesn’t know me personally; I don’t know him personally. I came to think of it – even if we respect each other a lot, we know little of the lives outside the process of buying/selling melons. Not complete strangers, not far from it. This happens in most contexts. We know some parts of others’ lives, but generally few things. The question comes: how do you treat a complete stranger? Is it someone worth your deepest respect and care, or is someone not worthy of such honors? In my opinion, the answer should always be: treat others with the highest respect. You can’t go wrong with this rule. There isn’t anyone on this Earth (OK, not even in space) not worthy of being treated with respect.The watermelons seller

On going to theater

Olivian Breda — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 14:41:59 +0000

There are two opposite things happening at the same time when going to the theater: You are amazed by some things (How did they do this, from a technical point of view? How did they give me this emotion? How did the subject evolve like this?); You don’t understand some things within the play (Why did they say so? What’s the main idea? What happened one minute ago?); In general, I get so absorbed in the story that I completely disconnect from my current problems; Theater relaxes me tremendously, unlike movies, which make me tired because of the concentration required when watching a screen. The thing is, these tend to compensate one with the other – so, first you are amazed, but then you don’t understand some things, but these two tend to compensate one with the other. All in all, generally you like what you see, even if you don’t understand everything.On going to theater

On The Salt of the Earth (2014)

Olivian Breda — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:04:52 +0000

I’ve seen The Salt of the Earth (2014). Feedback? Very touching movie. At times, very very powerful. The images were nice, generally. I enjoyed watching it, even if I didn’t like all the emotions it brought me. It’s not a movie for everyone. On The Salt of the Earth (2014)
