Vaclav Havel:In Memoriam

Posted on at


“Why should you validate your ticket in an empty streetcar, when you are alone, at night and nobody can see you?” was one of the many favorite metaphors used by Vaclav Havel when he spoke about the struggle of good against evil within all of us. He sided with and placed hope on the “little observer” we all carry inside since our childhood, who tells us when we do something wrong. 
 
In Vaclav Havel’s view the fact that we all know well what is the difference between good and evil is about the only hope we have as humankind – to survive and to thrive. We may not always act in accordance with our conscience, we may err but as long as we know it, there is hope.
 
Since this past Sunday he is not with us in person to give us a reminder and so more responsibility falls on us.
 
Especially those of us, who know that not everybody has the “little observer” inside, we need to continue in our mission to let everybody know. 
 
We want to wish you a pleasant holidays season filled with joy and happiness. Many thanks again to all of you who shared your personal stories with us. They were all encouraging to us. 


In 2012 we will continue to send out the message of <fishead( to as many people as we can and to build awareness – hopefully with your help and with the help of your “little observers”.
 
Just in time for the holidays we are happy to announce the arrival of the “I am <fishead( international DVD. For those of you who would like to have a personal copy, please get back to us via email.
 
All the best in 2012
