Mietin tekemiäni valintoja. Mikäli olisin jatkanut koulunkäyntiä, olisin nykyään jossain hyväpalkkaisessa ammatissa kaupungissa. Elämä olisi fyysisesti helppoa. Ei tarvitsisi raataa lumitöissä eikä kantaa polttopuita metrisessä lumihangessa. Entä henkinen puoli? Nämä ovat niitä elämän valintoja. Jos tahdot hyväpalkkaisen ammatin, joudut muuttamaan kaupunkiin. Jos tahdot asua maaseudun rauhassa kauniissa maisemissa, nauttia henkisistä arvoista, joudut tyytymään taloudellisesti niukkaan toimeentuloon.
I shoveled the snow off the car again. It is still not allowed to drive. Eye surgery is not included even though the referral had to be urgent. The days are spent on snow work and heating the apartment. Income is low unless you go elsewhere to look for work. After all, housework is not paid for even if you are round the clock. After all, those other young people in the village have long ago gone after bread.
I think about the choices I made. If I had continued to go to school, I would be in some upscale profession in the city today. Life would be physically easy. There would be no need for a grab in snow work. What about the spiritual side? These are the choices of life. If you want an upscale profession, you will have to move to the city. If you want to live in the peace of the countryside in beautiful scenery, you will have to settle for a meager livelihood.
