A sick bridge ? Or very sick people ?

Can you believe this ?

There is a series of „workshops“ held near here.

Most of them of a rather esoteric nature.

They all are a bit peculiar

One of them, however, stands out.

This workshop is entitled:

„Suicide – and what follows ?“

It promises to….“find a way which will lead to greater understanding, love and finally to reconciliation.“

It further offers a „protected room where jointly we can find words and ways to express our feeling of helplessness“......

So far, so good. 
But then comes the scorcher! 
The Promo continues:

„With the proceeds of this workshop a Shaman-induced cure of the xyz* bridge will be financed. This year alone too many suicides have been committed from this bridge.

May this distressed bridge find a cure.“

In other words, it is the fault of the bridge that people jump off it and into oblivion.

The bridge is sick and therefore it must be cured by a Shaman.

How sick is the bridge ? Is its sickness incurable or may a Shaman coax some healing out of its steel girders ? Maybe the sickness rests in the reeling ? Or might it be ensconced in the concrete pillars upon which it rests ? How about the water, which flows underneath ? Is it left turning ?

Oh, you don't even know about left turning or right turning water ?

No! In this case it is the bridge which is sick and which must be cured.

This entire thing is really much too stupid to be given any consideration.

So, why do I write about it ?

Because there are people who believe !

*In the flyer the bridge is identified by name and therefore its location is well known.
