The most essential human’s possibility is an ability to speak. Language is an unbelievably powerful tool which has been used to express thoughts and to request something from the world.
The ability to speak gives birth to another ability – to share information and to convince, which is highly used and appreciated. Some people use this weapon to take over weaker people and rule their minds. Others allowed to build an informational wall around themselves.
That’s what happens in russia. They live in an amazing world. They have a lot of money. Their children study in the best universities ever. They are happy to live in russia. What’s the catch? It’s unreal.
They are strongly convinced in their welfare because it was said on the TV. By the way, have you heard that in russia there’s no live broadcasting? This fact indicates a lot about what kind of mentality those people have.
Socrates once said, “Talk to me and I will see you”.
This means that our beliefs shout louder than the words we say. Nation whose way of thinking determined by daily mood of its dictators cannot speak. It does not know what exactly language is and what is used for. They keep silence, and this silence kills. Such way of things is comfortable for both sides. On one hand, people live in a perfect world where they have everything almost for free. On the other hand, government is not disturbed by furious citizens whose salary can badly cover basic needs. I think, they say, “My salary is great because it was said on TV even if I cannot buy new clothes for my daughter”.
It is so comfortable to accept everything how it goes and don’t try to change your life to the better. They can have fun, drink alcohol a lot or take drugs while other people decide their fate. Frankly speaking, in russia it works this way even if they have healthy lifestyle.
For such people, there’s no need to go and fight for dignity and to speak out dreams and desires. Not being beaten by police is absolutely enough.
To sum up, I’d like to mention a quote of a woman (probably) in government of russia. “Prohibition is the biggest human’s freedom”. Everything is said by it.
