corner view: time
Ja..............eins meiner Lieblingsbücher meiner Kindheit war "Momo" von Michael Ende, Untertitel: "Die seltsame Geschichte von den Zeit-Dieben und dem Kind, das den Menschen die gestohlene Zeit zurückbrachte".
Nein...........die Grauen Herren haben nichts Gutes im Sinn, als sie die Menschen überzeugen, Zeit zu sparen, denn Zeit kann man nicht sparen wie Geld und so stehlen sie den Menschen ihre Zeit, die vor lauter sparen vergessen haben, im Jetzt zu leben. Nur das Waisenmädchen Momo, der Zeitverwalter Meister Hora und die Schildkröte Kassiopaia können den bald übermächtigen Grauen Herren Einhalt gebieten...
Vielleicht.....hatte ich dank dieses Buches schon früh eine Ahnung, wie wichtig Zeit und wie zwielicht Geldsysteme sind. Immerhin hat es mich damals derartig nachhaltig beeindruckt, dass unser erster Hund, den wir bekamen, als ich 6 Jahre alt war, Momo getauft wurde! Momo hat 13 Jahre mit uns gelebt, mit ihr habe ich wiederum viel Zeit verbracht und diese Zeit ist auch schon wieder verdammt lange her....!!
Zitat aus "Momo":
"Zeit ist Leben
Und das Leben wohnt im Herzen
Und je mehr die Menschen daran sparten
Umso weniger hatten sie."
Mehr über Zeit heute beim corner view!
Yes............one of my favourite books of my childhood was "Momo" written by Michael Ende, subtitled: "The strange story of the time-thieves and the child that brought the stolen time back to the people".
No.............the Men in Grey have nothing good in mind when they convince people to save their time, because time can't be saved like money and so they steal people's time, who forget to live right now during all their time-saving struggles. Only orphan girl Momo, time professor Master Hora and tortoise Cassiopaia can put the brakes on the overpowering Men in Grey...
Maybe........thanks to this book I early had an idea of the importance of time and the seediness of money systems. After all it impressed me effectively that much that our first dog, which came to us when I was 6 years old, was called Momo! Momo lived with us for 13 years, I spent a lot of time with her and this again is very long time ago now....!!
quote from "Momo":
"Time is life
And life lives in the heart
And the more people saved on it
The less they had."

Don't know momo neither but what a philosophical book ! my representation of time is like a circle, with the comeback of each season, each year passing through the same and the different. The contrary of a line of time, actually.
AntwortenLöschenLove your explanations of the book!
Was für ein schönes Zitat! Und wie wahr.
AntwortenLöschenI can't see the video now, but I know I feel, sometimes, like a time-thief!
AntwortenLöschenNice quote :)
ja i like this video very much
AntwortenLöschenthanks
Das Zitat gefällt mir sehr, sehr. Passt hervoragend zur heutigen Zeit. Je mehr man sparen will. desto wenig hat man davon - habe ich das Gefühl.
AntwortenLöschenHappy Corner View Day:)!
Thanks for the view of time my friend. xo
AntwortenLöschenjust love your story ... and the quote
AntwortenLöschenthank you for the presentation of momo. sounds like a wonderful book.
AntwortenLöschenbeatiful post :)
Oh yes, Momo... I loved that book. Will read it to Top3 when he's a bit older.
AntwortenLöschenI didn't know Momo. This video is very nice.
AntwortenLöschenI LOVED momo too!
AntwortenLöschenfab use of the concept of time :)
Never heard of this book before, but sounds like you had already good taste as a kid. Someone put a lot of (well-spend!) time in this trailer :)
AntwortenLöschenCool! I don't think the Nook or Kindle can compete with that!
AntwortenLöschenGreat post Tania! We love Momo too.
AntwortenLöschenyes... i liked momo much much better than the neverending story. i remember the first time i tried to read it, i was too young and it frightened me so i could not finish it.
AntwortenLöschenbut id did teach me one most important thing about life, and i take it seriously: TIME IS THE ONLY THING I REALLY HAVE. money comes and goes and comes again, but time, it just goes. so thanks to michael ende, i do not exchange my time for money.
that book isn't a child's book, but i think everyone should read it as a child, it might be too late to read it as a grown-up. re-read, yes, because it is a lifetime book.
thanks for mentioning it here, it made me feel warm inside.
I didn't know this thought provoking book either, it is very interesting and how it had an impact on your life. sometimes the littlest things that are on your way can be pivotal.
AntwortenLöschenI too learned early how time is priceless & what you make of it (if you read the quote of the month on my blog) due to some tragic events unfortunately. but i try to make the most of this life lesson.
thank you for sharing this.
I think I'll need to find this book soon before I run out of time.
AntwortenLöschenhi again dear -- sorry to post a comment again but since blogger doesn't let us share emails, I just want to tell you that I replied your (interesting) comment :

Timeless and precious. The ticking of the clock and the turning of the paper is poignant:) Did you know that momo in Japanese means "peach". Happy week to you!
AntwortenLöschenSo beautiful book.
AntwortenLöschenAnd more beautiful idea or just enjoying time and not trying to save it for tomorrow.
Enjoy the weekend.
