Once again Christmas is just around the corner. And the VDMFK
campaign has started again. Why is it that the disabled people
themselves are so embittered and negative ? I hoped that this year
would be different... But no, people are just as they used to be. Why
is there so much envy towards those who achieve something ? I would
very much like to know if in other countries there is also so much
negativism as here in Estonia... I wouldn't say that there has been
ONLY negative feedback, but still, these negative voices are so loud
– although I do my best to avoid paying more attention to them than
they deserve. These commentators should stop for a moment and think
about their own dignity – and not only in relation to this
campaign.
For example, I am glad that in Estonia also some writers and artists
are going to get paid by the State – this means that their work is
noticed and valued. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, I have not
read the comments about this topic, but I have heard that there is
also lots of bitterness and envy . What's the difference whether a
painting has been made by hand, foot or mouth ? The result is what
matters, and the joy the artist's work brings to those who enjoy it.
As an artist I still believe and hope that postcards as such are not
going to vanish from our life altogether, but instead, they keep
developing, and that sometimes, for example, when Christmas is near,
we think about a relative or a friend who is not an avid Internet
user.
