More to tell?

Not really, but I will try to write about my opinion about the refugees who are flooding the European countries in large numbers this last month. I was never really fond of all those refugees who came to the Netherlands before. However, I have to admit there is a slightly different reason these people are leaving their countries. They’re in war, and that’s a really good reason to leave I think. Parents are looking for a safe place for their children or the young guys are trying to avoid having to be in military service and getting killed in the war they didn’t want. One way or the other, staying is no longer an option. Although I’m convinced of the necessity of their leaving I’m not sure if letting them live in the European countries is the best way to help them. We are so different from the way they have lived their lives over there. It would be much better to help these people in their own environment. We need to create safety zones so that they don’t have to make the dangerous travel with their little children. That way it’s also much easier for families to stay together. Now you see that fathers or older brothers first try to cross the sea and then make the difficult and dangerous train journey or bus ride. And if that’s not possible they even walk the whole distance. This all in the hope they are allowed to let their wife and children follow them in a safer way. But still they have to leave family behind, grandparents and people who don’t want to leave their country for an uncertain future in a country in which they cannot even speak the language. I’m convinced people will consider leaving their home to stay in a safety zone nearby their country. Then there will be no language and culture problems like we have to face in the European countries. I know, this is easier said than done, and I'm glad I only have to comment on what politics decides and not have to make policy for this. " Bachelors' wives and maidens' children know better."
