<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Today I needed to leave my dog, Sophie, alone at home. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I stopped by the end of the building stairs and listened to her crying and howling. I just stood there while my heart shrinked and the rest of my day got ruined.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #222222;">I could go back upstairs and command her to be quite but I didn't. In that moment I thought she should learn how to deal with being alone. Don't worry, all my neighbors are right now on holidays so this training isn't hurting anyone. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">In reality Sophie is never alone. Most of the days she stays with other people/dogs while I'm going to work. She has a more social active life then me most of the week days. Even when she stays at home, she will never be alone because I do have a cat and they love each other and play together ALL day.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So why I feel guilty?</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Very simple, things never go as planned. In my mind and on my lists I have everything lined but I rarely have time or energy to finish all of them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #222222;">So today was another example of under accomplishment. I should have wake up at 5am and go with her for a run. The goal was to leave her exhausted. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #222222;">It didn't happen (of course) and I woke up at 7h. (I must had a little detail that yesterday we went for a 2 hour run in the morning and to a afternoon hike.)</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This fact that I didn't manage to get up to take my dog for a run set up right away the mood of the day. How come I wasn't able to sacrifice my extra hours of sleep for her? Why?</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Most of the times I find myself thinking that if I was alone with her and I didn't have a good network I wouldn't be able to give her a good life on the daily basis because I would be too lazy. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I find myself thinking that I should never have a dog while being single (when I got her I was in a relationship).</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I find myself thinking that I will not be able to handle the pressure.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I find myself thinking that I'm a terrible dog owner.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I find myself thinking that everyone judges me for my bad decisions.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">These are all thoughts that hurt me. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was used to feel incompetent sometimes at work, maybe sometimes in social life but it gets serious when we are talking about a living being. A living being that you choose to have. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This feeling that I have that tells me that everything I do will never be enough increases my already high anxiety levels. Not only in the reality that I live but I can even make it harder to myself and mirror this feelings to possible future events. Like for example.... maternity.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #222222;">I think that "Fear" and "Doubt" can be great to help make decisions. Sometimes, we need to admit to ourselves that we are really not able to do certain things and face reality with no filters. But sometimes we just have these feelings in a very sadistic way where we let our low self-esteem stand out and increase our anxiety and decrease own worth.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In my case... I had dogs all my life and I know how great I am with dogs. I'm a dog person and I know that I do EVERYTHING for Sophie. She is always my biggest priority. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When the fear of being a bad mother comes up I know I'm great with kids. I babysited for years and years children of all ages.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Why I'm making myself worried by something that I know I'm good at?</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I don't really know the answer to this question. I'm not even great in controlling my own non logical feelings. But I know that I shouldn't feel like this and I should hug myself and move one. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Anyway, I'm going to go out of work and run home and spend time with my lonely, miserable, sad puppy.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have to say that I find it adorable when people try to argue with me about my belief in God.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Normally all the discussions end up with them basically saying that I’m stupid… But here is the catch…</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">They post quotes everyday about Atheism on Facebook and show me books about the topic and try to convince me with valid arguments how stupid I am and how great they are.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Do they realize they are the new door to door Jehovah's Witnesses, trying to convince people that their religion is better than any other religion in this world? </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"></span><br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is like they found out the holy truth and need to make it known how they saw the light and the rest of the world is inferior just because they don’t share the same belief.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"></span><br />
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To be honest, I discussed all these religious topics when I was a teenager, just an agnostic-atheist curious about the world… so I wonder what these people talked about in their free time back then.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I converted to Christianity at the age of 23 years! It was a well informed decision that I did with the full power of my conscience … so at this point of my life I don’t appreciate that people try to convert me to a religion that I’m not interested in. </span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 20.79px;"></span>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’m waiting for the day that my Atheist friends respect my religious choices as much I respect theirs.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "courier new"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: DE;">If you want to create a path in the garden and you don’t have sure if that
is what you want or you are having a hard time explain it to the sweet heart
that is going to help you out doing it use flower or oat meal to draw the path
way directly on the floor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know this goes against everything I said about hating animals that
destroy my garden. And is true I hate the cats that think my propose in life is
to entertain them but under this bitter woman heart there is a conscious
gardener.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So the weather is getting hot and sooner is going to be even hotter and we
can read everywhere that we need to keep hydrated! So guess what?! Animals need
to get hydrated to!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So please, place a bowl in your garden and fill it with fresh water every
two days so the animals that visit your garden can have a fresh brake there and
drink some water.</span><span style="font-family: "courier new";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why do
people think Eko Fresh “owned” Frauke Petry? I just see sexual objectification
here.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white;">The media portrays the AfD as right wing extremists because of their beliefs
about refugees and immigrants in Germany, especially those from a Muslim origin.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white;">Although they are being called the worst thing since Hitler,</span><span lang="EN-US"> this
year <span style="background: white;">the AfD has gained representation in
eight </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">German state</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white;"> parliaments. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There has been an enormous
backlash against the party. Recent party conventions have seen violent protests
from a spectrum of left leaning activists. On the other hand a growing minority
sees the AfD as the only antidote to Angela Merkel’s open-border policy and
subsequent failure in handling the refugee crisis.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

appeared in movies and launched a new album last month.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why did she tweet this?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This tweet comes
after Mr. Gauland, the vice president of AfD, allegedly commented on the German
football player with immigration background Jérôme Boateng. He said that the people
loved him as a football player, but they would not want him as their actual neighbor
(„</span></span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16.3pt;">Die Leute finden ihn als Fußballspieler
gut. Aber sie wollen einen Boateng nicht als Nachbarn haben</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 16.3pt;">.“)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="float: left; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After this was published in the Frankfurter
Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, many outraged readers stepped up in the social
media sphere with the hashtag <b>#Nachbarn</b>.
Although Mr. Gauland denied saying it and Frauke Petry already apologized publicly.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

from an immigrant’s perspective it is apparent that this is pure virtue signaling.
Renting apartments is something that unites immigrants. Germans want us as neighbors
so badly that is extremely hard to get a place with price/quality relation that
is affordable. Run down apartments can still be rented for high prices because we
will rent them as a last resort.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If it was hard for me, a white European,
to get an apartment, I can only imagine the prejudice and difficulties that a
person that looks like Boateng would face.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I’m veering off course. I don’t
want to talk about racism and the hardships of being an outsider. I want to
talk about people who think it’s valid to fight racism with sexism.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was loved by 4100 people and
retweeted 1200 times. Sadly many of these posts were done by women, signaling
their non-racist virtue, while being indifferent a woman’s public humiliation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whether you agree with her politics
or not, Frauke Petry is a very strong woman. She is in front of a growing party

intellectual argument.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Eko Fresh did this tweet in
complete trust that people would just have a laugh at it. Petry can’t be taken seriously because she doesn’t
only lie but she is just a woman and whose only function in society is to look
good for him. It’s ok to take away her politic and social status that her
career path gave her reducing her to this sexy woman.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
