I’ve read the following news today 14th/sep-2007:
A group of killers asked a man to kill daughter son and threatened
him that he would be killed if he didn’t obey. I imagined if I myself
was in his place. But I couldn’t find neither a solution nor make a decision. In such cases I used to escape to the white areas on the paper and to the available spaces that allow me admit in order to express and
say all that I feel and so that I can get rid of this suffering. The result
was this prattle which I called a citizen.
