Womens LiberationDay

Today, the 8th of March, Womens Liberation Day.
Why is it that of all days in the year, only one day of the year there is focus on gender differences on subjects like same salary for the same kind of work, no matter if you're a male or a female. Why is it that for as long as I can remember, this has been a subject of discussion on womens liberation day? Why is it that during 364 days of the year, we seem to forget this difference?? I don't get it... It shouldn't be a subject at all.

Apart from having these thoughts today, it's been a wonderful day! All winter it's been dark and wet and cold and terribly depressing. But today, the sun has been shining, and it must have been at least 15 degrees celcius in the sun. On my way home from work today, I just HAD to walk down to the city center. I must have been smiling all the way, because wherever I turned my face, people was smiling back at me! Outside Hard Rock Café there is a sofa. And when I walked past, the sun was shining on the sofa, and practically inviting me to sit down. So I did. Sitting there in the sun, smiling with my winterpale face turned towards the warming sun. After a while, a guy sat down next to me. He went inside to buy something to drink, and asked me to look after his rucksack for him. So I did. I had never seen the guy before, and still he entrusted me to look after his belongings. (I overheard a comment from behind that this would never have happened in the US. I wouldn't know, since I've never been to America, but it doesn't surprise me if it's true.) The next thing, I'm busy chatting with this guy, who is very openminded and philosophical. He finishes his beer, and is about to go in for another one, when he asks me if I'd like one aswell. Of course I says thank you, and yes...! When he returns we keep talking about practically anything. Then the sun disappears behind a building and we feel the chill in the air again. He says he has to go home to his girlfriend. We thank eachother for a very fine afternoon, and walk into each our lives again. I stroll down the street of Karl Johan and I find myself feeling totally happy! It's a wonderful day!! I have no obligations and can do exactly what I want. I'm totally free and love it!

Thank you for a wonderful day!
I'm so lucky to be alive and conscious enough to appreciate it!
