I´m fighting tears in disbelieve.
The internet is being considered a virtual place that can´t come close to real life experiences. However, it has always been my conviction that written conversation has its merrits, as one can sort his thoughts; and that over time you can actually sense a person between the lines. Not seldomly better even than live.
This world to me appears badly upside-down in regard of reason and ethics, and consequent critiques tend to stir up dust with a fraction of people who don´t like to hear of the destructive ugly out there. Thus, as a new member I was just entangled in a little forum battle when Ron showed up to drop one of his typical jokes. Unaware I then fired at him only to figure soon that he was actually all but superficial.
Actually, his democratic nature had him follow even unheard statements and give them the chance of proove. Always, prepared to gather new links.
He stands for a down to earth personality with a lot of empathy and a strong sense for justice. And I assume that his humor just helped him to cope with all the injust and devastation inflicted by the international game of greed, corruption and inhumanity that effects us all and our sociology / quality of social life.
Very obviously he wasn´t of todays average, emotionally uneducated, indifferent and cynical type, and in need of his close surrounding to shoulder the insights on todays kingdoms. Only consequently, he would point to us every other time press articles on certifying and plundering of the little people.
His passing to me makes for another clue that things are going basically wrong on this planets status quo, on which noble spirits shatter whilst the unscrupulous prosper.
As posted once, I would had loved to meet up one day and discuss nights through with a couple of drinks. Certainly, it would have been some very entertaining, thoughtful and in the same time amusing experience.
Just as certainly, everyone who knew him is now pondering: "Why; why must things be this way?"
They mustn´t.
He felt that; hence couldn´t just shrug away the world´s insanity in the way billions of fellow people do.
Zeitgeist may say it´s just virtuality, but actually here is the loss of a hearty friend. And I feel tears running.
