Chasing Moomins in the Midwinter of the Finns

Buried myself into the fantastic world of Moomins,
Moominland Midwinter by Tove Jansson.







Here's one of the greatest notions of the protagonists,
-about SNOW by Too-Ticky
''You believe it's cold, but if you build yourself a snowhouse it's warm.
You think it's white, but at times it looks pink, and another time it's blue.
It can be softer than anything, and then again harder than stone.
Nothing is certain.''

It may be a fact that everybody knows, but it reveals one thing.
When Moomintroll asked for an answer from Too-Ticky,
there really is NO absolute answer.
We were taught to think black n white in an absoulute way,
but we know now: there is another colour ,grey.
No answer is really an answer, I should say, most of them are/ were only perceptions of some clever people who could make their thoughts likely to be/sounds right.
Nothing is really certain.

And, Little My (the little girl in red clothes) tells me one thing also.
Enjoy when you are put into the strangest environment of all,
to find your own way to enjoy is the only method to survive.
I was like Moomintroll, when being in hardship I thought about happy good old days, but it only sharpened the bad feelings and it made no improvement.
Only when we could see no hardship, we could find our way out,
and, to feel content.

It's the way we look at it.
The perspective we take decides the way of our life.

My dear friends,
I do wish you all content and healthy.
Being a so called- intellectuals, we would feel lonely/ depressed, be angry/upset by this world.
But I'd like you to bear in mind that I am also struggling like you,
and I am always there to back you up,
you are not alone.
