Fakir is sometimes not fakir

Photos from a fire show of an acquaintance of mine, an artist, a juggler and a czech-style fakir, Ondrej Minar. Ondrej can perform lots of fascinating tricks and is talented at acting. I used his acting talent in a couple of videos which we worked on together.

But who is the fakir? Is it a person who knows how to handle fire as we are familiar with it in the Czech Republic?

The fakir originates from the Islamic world. He is a person who is fully devoted to the God (Allah). He can live in poverty but it is not always true. The fakir renounces wordly possessions. He manifests his faith in all aspects of his life. It is the only thing his heart longs for.

Břetislav Sobek

My name is Bretislav Sobek. I am curious and don’t understand new things. That is the reason why I ask, I write it down and post it.

I have written hundreds of emails to newspaper’s editorial offices. They have answered me once. They wrote me that if I wanted to write I should study journalism including a link to the right faculty. They said it was supposed to be the right place for me.

Others answered with a suspicion that I was a PR manager of a political party. I just wanted to inform my fellow citizens about what I think was important to them.

I applied for Journalists unions. They didn’t accept me and weren’t able to explain me why. The same went for another ten candidates.

And that’s the reason why I decided to set up my own newspaper and named myself a chief editor.
