Rebelious rules by Kristina Gallo

This morning is misty. Dino will cook more coffee, read newspapers and then ask postman is their new deliveries for him. He will open a blue envelope with one more notification. "I am sorry, you did not justify our terms. With respect." Dino is one of 370.000 in Croatia without a job. That number is bigger and bigger every day and there is small hope in better days.  The days of unemployed people are always the same. A cup of coffee in the morning, walking around, watching TV or reading magazines and waiting for a postman. Knocking on the door of the Labor Exchange. There are clerks who will say: "Nothing new this month. I will call you when I will have news about the possible job." When you don't have a job you can expect many side effects. Some are global, and others are personal. What kind of side effects of unemployment appears in society? Mendicancy. If you don't have money, it is very possible you will become a beg

I don't have luck. Me and my bad luck. We will say this often when nothing good happens in our life. Then, happiness will leave the track. You hear someone is knocking on the door? If you don't open, the person will leave and maybe return next time. Or never. The same is with opportunities. They are here, and if you don't use this moment, all that is left is regret. Ivan had a good chance to work in Switzerland. He was an engineer and he got an offer to work on a project, for a good salary. He was thinking because this opportunity has a price. He should move from Croatia, together with this family, and to live in Luzern. He should leave his friends, parents who were old and sick and simply to start for a new life.  After many doubts, he gave up. How he will leave his city, friends from childhood and how his parents will live without his visits? He had children and they used on school, how would they fit in Luzern? He stayed at his job, for average salary. Af

Happiness is inside of us. Ask yourself a question what makes you happy and your donor is in front of the mirror. If you feel good even your favorite song will make you happy. The opposite, if you drown in your personal flood, full of negative thoughts, new Mercedes will not bring you happiness. It is wrong thinking that everything will be solved if you find love. Bunch of people is in relations, but still, they are not complete happily. A partner can be a big source of happiness, but if you ask something different than he gives to you, all is in vain. Happiness is a system. Try to remember what made you happy all these years, what was the reason that you felt happy yesterday and what makes you smile before one hour. You can be happy even if others are miserable because this is in human nature. Think about how this thing can make you happy. Your terrible boss is sick? Your ex-girlfriend got 20 kilograms on weight and she is not attractive anymore?

Life gives us opportunities as cards. When we spent our amounts of cards, we can create more chances to stay in the game. The second choice is to give up on everything and abuse our power in the places where we can do it. If you travel by bus or tram, sooner or later you will see controller tickets. That is usually an older man or woman. They can be frustrated and angry at the rest of the world. They will grab this chance to throw out their rage on passengers.  Once drunk controller enters in the tram. There were a bunch of people who saw him and run away quick until the door was opened. The rest who stayed there were his victims. He was red in the face and his breath had a smell like trash, but still, he asked for a ticket woman who was sitting near him. - I don't have a ticket. I was in a rush so I did not buy. - What kind of behavior is this? You are traveling without a ticket. What is this? Men were yelling and his face became redder. The woman ref

Look at this woman in a good mood. She is smiling, radiates with kindness and softness. Everybody would say how nice is that woman. She is a real angel, just without wings. Now, try to make her angry or sad. Hurt her with bad words or bad behavior. How she will react? Maybe she will squeeze teeth and swallow sadness inside. She can yell or cry. But also, she can make a plan to get revenge and paycheck.  We will say, is that really the same person? She was so nice and kind. Now, she is a demon or devil. Human behavior depends on how we treat people. If you cross limits and press the wrong buttons, the person who was your friend can be your worst enemy. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the book  "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." It is a story about the double personality of the same person. Dr. Jekyll is the good man, devoted to his profession, and Mr. Hyde is killer and monster. He is his evil twin when he changes the mood. Dr. Jekyll can save himself only to d

Remember the game with the bottle in childhood? You are sitting in a circle with friends, someone spins the bottle and when this stop spinning, a person who is nearest to the bottle will answer questions. This was an unpleasant situation because questions were challenges. Some games went so far that the picked person should kiss someone.  This was childhood trauma. Girls were playing with Barbara, she was introvert and good material for cruel jokes. They said to her, kiss the tree, otherwise, we will avoid you. But Barbara was tough and she rejected to made fool of yourself. The kissing tree was worse than kiss the ugliest guy. Everybody waited but she did not move. That act made her stubborn and later she did a good career because she despises authorities. Monica was a victim of "truth or dare." She got questions about her sex life, and in the circle were some unknown guys. She talked without shame how she changed a few guys in her bed, and after this gam

Be a good and modest person and everybody will love you. That is a kind of attitude to avoid conflicts, judgments or to be accepted in society as a good member. That is a small line of resistant, don't fight, don't argue and you will live a peaceful life. Modesty has good sides, so modest person knows where is her place, don't ask for impossible things, stays firm on the ground and know to control herself. Also, a modest person knows to value what she owes. She is grateful to even for small things.  If you are born as a modest person, and you live accord this principle because you like it, this is your right. This is part of your personality, you like to walk, you don't need BMW, you will buy clothes in second-hand shops because you don't like brand fashion.  Conformists love to say what others love to hear. Modesty is sometimes connected with conformism because pushing yourself in the corner is similar. When you are modest, you sustain

From ancient times people were hungry for sensation. Hangman on the square like in western movies, we will go there to see his end. Inquisition time gave special events with so-called witches, everybody should see torching and deaths on a bonfire. Today, the death penalty is removed from many legislations, but still, people are hungry for blood and death. We have new technology so Youtube can help us to see unusual events. Famous designer Sandra d' Auriol made suicide, jumped from the 15th floor of a clinic in Beverly Hills and we can see a video about this. She had plastic surgery and after that, she behaved strangely, she was naked at the moment when she made suicide. There are doubts about the side effects of anesthetic cure, which she got after her plastic surgery. Her suicide made free showtime for people, even it was a terrible tragedy for her husband and family. What we think when someone made suicide? Shall we judge or feel sorry for that person? Many

I wish I had a crystal ball to predict all that can happen in my future. I am not the only one, so I believe many women wish to see future husbands and jobs.  If we could predict our future it would step forward. Maybe we could avoid something unpleasant and stop things which we don't want.  How to win in this race with unpredictable life? Fanny can't find a normal boyfriend. She is blind in this tunnel of love. Every guy she met had something that rejected her at the end. So, she was printing their photos with one purpose. She will take these photos to the clairvoyant. Fanny heard about a man who lives in a lonely house in the village. She paid him some money to see important things from these photos.  She was disappointed with the result. - You are an insecure person Fanny. You can't decide what you want. That men are unavailable at the moment and I don't see clearly what is on their mind. It seems vibration for today is not good.  Later, Fa

"The night was warm. No, the night was hot. The night was so hot." It was the beginning of black comedy "Throw Momma from the train", with amazing Danny De Vitto and Billy Crystal. It talks about a writer who is asking for inspiration for a new book and his destiny will be connected in a funny way with a nerd (Danny de Vito) and his freaky mother. I think that every writer faces it with a lack of inspiration. Suddenly your brain stops and you want to squeeze pieces of thoughts, but it can't work out. What to write, how to write? You are spinning in this circle as a clown. Inspiration comes out when we are fragile and sensitive. J. W. Mozart was creating "Requiem" when he was seriously ill. He was dying and that music became his creation, as post mortem. Pablo Picasso painted a picture of his lover Dora  Maar because he was inspired by her moody behavior. Once she was fighting with another woman for his heart and cut her own hands to prove

When you have to deal with problems, usually you will get advice: "Be strong." Our characters are different and we will handle our hard moments in different ways. Someone will cry and breakdown is possible .  You pass through a tough breakup or divorce? You will need a hand, but the main decision is on you, how you will handle this situation. If you are a strong person, you will not ring on the door of your friends every time when you feel sad and when your ex is missing you. The very important part is your pride. Face it with problems because they will not run away overnight. Life can be as an earthquake, the ground is shaking under your feet when bad things start to ruin your safety. The time of crisis is an explosion. The bomb is here, your life will crush, you will collect small pieces, behind you is sound of the rattle and you are lost. A strong person will consider this situation as a challenge. Well, life is testing me, so let me see how I can de

When everything is going down, we could feel as in a trap. A million problems can appear around us and we cannot find the way out. Maybe we will look on the other side of reality, into dreams. What is happening during the process of sleeping and can we think about our dreams as messages? Maybe we need to translate that hidden messages and one dream is indeed secret code.  Olivia had a tough year. She was released from work, her boyfriend breaks up with her and many friends turned her back. Suddenly nobody had time for her. A woman without a job, without love and without comfort. She was thinking about suicide. She was introduced to darkness. Her life was an abyss and it was no way out. She tried to send appeals for the job, she was calling people she knew to go to the coffee bar with her, just for one talk, but everyone was busy. In despair, she had a date with a guy who was driving fast and she almost had an accident.  One night she slept in tears, so tired, with

Vanitas vanitatum et Omnia Vanitas. That is an old Latin proverb. All is in vanity. It talks about someone who thinks that is the center of the world. Such people think they are always the smartest, the most beautiful and perfect in everything. They will not accept another opinion, but they will teach and preach others because this is their mission in this world. If you want to capture the heart of such a person, just play on the vanity. Even this vanity is their weapon, also it can turn into weakness and hit them back like a boomerang. Once you press that button, your way is open to get what you wish. Even to take revenge. Some women believe that they can have every guy they met. Tracy is a model and she is beautiful. She thinks that every guy on the internet is here to admire her photos and her beautiful face and body. The world is spinning around her. She thinks that every woman is a bitch who is jealous of her. Once she was in long relation, about four years. She
