In a few weeks there is election in Norway, and in a year we will have governmental election in Sweden. I am very interested in our society. I think everybody agrees upon that we want earth to be a place where everybody can live in peace and harmony.
To achieve that may not be easy, but I am convinced that it is possible and that needs cooperation. I work as a pharmacist and I feel very happy that I have that possibility. It gives me satisfaction to help people to better health. That is my way to cooperate to a better world.
I know that the Swedish government fight a lot to create new jobs to people. I am proud that we have elected this government because I am sure that it would have been higher unemployment otherwise. Proud to feel that we have strong economics in Sweden.
Why do I think of this when I have a day off? Every day I follow the news. I am curious about what happens throughout the world, because that affect us. I have also always been interested in meeting new people from all parts of the world. To learn how life and culture can be different. People are different and we need to understand and accept that.
Tonight’s news also promised that there will be debate on use of alcohol. Since I have done research on neurobiological mechanisms involved in alcohol dependence it is interesting to follow discussions. Here, to the best of my knowledge, I think there is a big gap from what we know of abuse/dependence and politics. So, I hope results from research will turn more into practice. We have a lot of knowledge that we don’t use, unfortunately.
Sweet dreams,
Anna
