A note beforehand. Last weekend I saw the post with the topics for this week, and I also knew that I wanted to write a blog to participate. But unfortunately my weekend commitments, A.K.A. a blog for lbi-token and brofund in between my own plans. Because in addition to those obligations, there is of course also a life off-chain that must continue. A.K.A., a partner who has weekends, dogs who want attention and daily chores around the house that have to go on or else you'd have to live in a mess, and that's just not an option.

But well, participating for the prizes may not be possible anymore. But still write a blog that matches one of the 3 questions of this weekend. Fortunately, that is always an option.

This week's questions were intriguing to say the least! And it also took me a lot of thinking before I could decide HOW and WHICH I would answer.

In the end, it came down to option 3.

Yes, the power to completely eliminate 3 people from this world.

I'm glad that I don't have that power

Now, I have to say right away that I'm glad I don't have this power, for the simple reason that I wouldn't want to make a difference in the lives of many others. Possessing this power is a responsibility I would never want to bear, and it can also turn people into monsters. Leaving that aside. If I had the power, you can read below which 3 people I would eliminate.

Starting with a political person who has quite a bit to say in my country. And after saying this, it is of course important that I explain why I would eliminate him. One of the reasons I have for that is that I find him totally incompetent to do his job. He should be there for every citizen of the land he should lead. Not just for a select few of that population. In the last twelve years our constitutional state has been broken, our care state has been squandered and we have no democracy left. The many scandals that are now attached to his name make it a shame that he is still allowed to be leader. Worst of all is his personal reaction to the many facts of the scandals. He gets rid of it with the now legendary words by saying "I didn't know", or "I can't remember". Either way, he should be ashamed of himself. In the first case, it would therefore mean that people in his cabinet ignore their prime minister and act on their own. Which is absolutely impossible, in the second case it is not exactly advertising for him. How come he just remembers.

In the last twelve years, the number of homeless people has more than doubled. We pay ourselves squint in care, but when it comes down to it, we still have no right to care without additional payment. Buying a house has become impossible because of its political party deliberately pushed up house prices by luring foreign slum landlords to our housing market. In short, elimination could not only change something for my future, but it could change a lot about their future for an entire country. And yes, this is of course only a personal thinking!

The second person I would eliminate is the man who abused me, and many women with me, both financially and sexually. The reason I'd eliminate him isn't even because he did. The reason I'd eliminate him is because he's really never shown any remorse for his behavior, and still thinks he's a great guy. And I think that's a seriously valid reason to eliminate him. To protect all women of this globe from the same abuse that has already happened to me and many women with me after we came in contact with him. It doesn't change anything for my future because I eliminated him from my life years ago. And I'll make sure it stays that way!

The last person I would like to eliminate is the person who embodies for me the evil that I had to endure every day during my primary school days. Bullying someone who has a somewhat shy character, and who wears glasses on her nose that she is already insecure about, but who is also her rescue at the same time to be able to really see. Every day I spent in elementary school, six long years of school, I've been bullied by the same person. This has even gone so far that I was met after school, and I was beaten up several times. Where it was always the same person who took the lead, and the others joined in with him so as not to be left out and end up in my position as well. They all wanted to be friends with him, because the other options were, at best, to be ignored or beat up like me. To belong to his friends circle, or not. There were no other options. I had no choice. He didn't like me because I was shy and wore glasses.

What this has done to me is still hard to describe even now, so many years later. But the fact is that it changes a part of your character substantially. And that it will affect you for the rest of your life.

So yes, this person I would eliminate from this globe without any regrets, and given his standards and values ​​I would also like to think that the whole world would be a little better for it. I can't imagine that he can give any children good standards and values. It makes no difference to my future at this point. But if he had never existed, yes, that would have made a big difference to my life. If I hadn't always been bullied like this in primary school, I would have made very different choices in life. And I'm not talking about choices about which yogurt I should buy that day, but about choices about which further education I went to after primary school, and therefore choices that have determined the rest of my life. Then I would probably have had more self-confidence and could therefore act differently at decisive moments.

A not so easy blog to write, but all the more challenging, and with which I would like to close the blog by saying again that I am very happy that I do NOT possess this power.

The problem today is not atomic energy, but the heart of man.
