It seems those great great grand people have more heads and hearts than me ( us ? ). I admire them a lot, what they have done to the mankind is just incomparable. God Send?
kindest regards.
P.S - I hope things in Hungary have improved. Here in Burma things are getting worse to me, everyone is hunting for money and power , even the so called popular political leaders. The poor are poorer. There are more and more prostitutes on the street when the rich men and government men are playing golf. What I see in them is foolishness and egoism only.
But those international figures encourage them, I think they are blind. Since they have been being cheated by those clever Burmese, with false information and good old stories.
Most of the so called politicians would happily stay in the jails, because some milllion dollars and fame are waiting for them at the gates when they come out of the jail.
The best business in Burma and you can feed three generation with this money in Burma. We are the most cunning people in the world.
The worst things is educated people are bought up by those fools.
I wish we had a true leader. But no way in 50 years. True leaders are born, not made.
I can be the very very distant son of Genghis Khan. Who knows? As he has 20,000 recorded wives throughout Asia. He is my lifetime hero as the Alexander the Great.
What you wrote about Burma I could copy the all here because it is valid for Hungary also.
The half of the country are practically starving. The old middle class became a poverty-stricken layer. And this isnât still the end. We can be âproudâ because the most famous papers on the world deal in their leading articles about Hungary. But the government doesnât care about it, one single thing is important for them, the money and the power.
There arenât organisations which would be independent from the government: with their 2/3 majority they make laws, new constitution, they abolished the independence of the judiciary, the press etc. Their method that for exp. they make an other office (from only their people) and this office direct the Supreme Court of Justice and other authorities which even in the socialism were independent. The people who used to be independent persons than the President of The Hungarian Republic or the Supreme Public Prosecutor NOW they are their partyâs member. There isnât Autonomy on the Universities etc.( have you read Franz Kafka: The Castle?-it is a tale compared our situation)
I canât enumerate everything. Donât wonder if you hear that the Hungarian had enough from this all and a civil war will have broken out.
Dear Cathy! I can sympathize with you. I donât know how far the situation in my country is similar to Hungary because we donât know the truth. We got a high ranking in EU and they glorified us. But in strange way we did great debt during the last 4 years, and now our goverment try to put on people the drastic reforms. Probably they try to save their own skin. But people are so naive and believe in this helpless government. Fortunately some papers and some TV channels became change their attitude to the policy of our government. Many schools were closed-down, and more and more school is waiting the same sad future. People canât afford to buy their medicine that they really need, because the earnings and pensions are very low. Nobody try to find out where our money vanished and why there are so great debts. Our government is incompetent and only care of their image.
Before we would speak about our situation, I send you a link, where was in The European Parliament, and unfortunately Daniel Cohn Bendit is right in everything. Our Victor Orban is an autocrat if I want to express myself decently.
I know your PM, Prezes Rady MinistrĂłw supported him. So I can imagine everything in your country.
Do you know about the Polish-Hungarian friendship? It lives among the people for hundreds of year.
Do you know JĂłzef Berm. He was Polish but he was general of Hungarian Revolution of 1848 where my great-great-grandfather fought also. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3zef_Bem
First of all itâs so nice to see your Venus smile again. I was about to ask you to put it back.
Well, being born as a middle class child , I know very well what middle class people ( in fact the highest class of the society in terms of intelligent, intellect and humanity ) feel under the reign of the hooligans.
We middle class may not be rich or powerful. But by possessing a definite race and wisdom received from our ancestors, we are the highest and noblest people of society . We know what is right and what is wrong in terms of morality and humanity. The hallmark of the middle class people, that hooligans canât buy out. Most of us are not rich and some of us even very poor these days. Since we donât do immoral things as the evils and monsters do, since we donât damage our own principles for money and power. Those scandalous politicians can rule ruthlessly with the money provided by the greedy evils who need the power of the so called governments to protect their filthy, bloody money they worship once in a human life. After that they wonât be a decent soul in this universe again. In any religion, we have satanic people I believe. Sometimes they have very strong power since they even dare to kill their own mothers happily for power and money. Hellish!
There come the civil wars and foreign intrusions throughout the history to punish those hooligans, rogues, scoundrels and rascals. But we all have to suffer it with them for the sins we donât create. Fair or not.
My point is we have our mission at least to say what is right and what is wrong , what is moral and what is immoral, what is human and what is inhuman. Which I believe is our historical duty that we deeply owe to our ancestors and have to transfer to our descendants.
Regardless of the swine can appreciate or not. Swine is swine, and, the intellectual is the intellectual, god created. Funny thing is when the swine becomes bigger he thinks he is god. lol. Poor thing!
Keep your faith, please.
kind regards.
kyaw.
Sorry for my poor English. Iâm a bit in a hurry.
Dear Kyaw! You know me from my tendecy to taking things by joking. But I used to be very much politically engaged. It cost me a lot of. I sometimes sent on forum my political opinions. But rarely. My blood- pressure becomes to be too high. Iâm always moved when I read Kati text. I remember very well what happend in Budapest . My friend from my study ,as many other students, gave her blood and it turned out that she had a leukaemia. She died soon after it. I heard in the radio like hungarian girls said that they were convicted for death penalty. They didnât be in despair, they were so excited. I remember that all. I used to be many times in Budapest. Iâm really hurt by stupidity polish people. But i have most of them against of me. Now I try to be far away of this matters. I also understand deeply your Kyaw indignation of unjustice of that world. I think by the same way. But people are so stupid and egoistic. I must protect myself because I have my obligations.
I would like to be joyful - but this politics poison our life.
I am an emotional person and the injustice causes me pain. My husband sees the news and he can place the things in his mind, and he doesnât become nervous. Imagine for example that they invented a new fee in the universities.
In the future only 25% of university and college students could pursue tertiary education free of charge, while 75% would pay according to academic performance.
This means that the fee will be different. On the human universities (law etc) can be 2 million forints for a year. Who could pay it? Only the new very rich families. The revenue of the families isnât enough to pay overhead expenses and food.
What will happen with the talented children? Unfortunately, incredible but it is right that in the socialism everybody could go to universities, even me also, who wasnât good âcadreâ I had to work for a year in a factory and after I could go to a college.
Now the young knows that they had been deprived of their rights. The youth try to unite.
This government had been voted with 2/3 majority because they promised to the people everything good. We saw that they were lying but the people are very credulous.
What you wrote it is very moving. It reminded me Daniel Cohn-Benditâs indignation. The French never care about the Hungarian. I think that you also didnât know about it. But your letter could have been read in the EU parliament. It is very true.
I read once in The Guardian that EUROPE canât let be the despotism in a corner of Europe because it is infectious.
This is our government wasnât elected all the Hungarian. Only the half of the country population went to vote, and 2/3 of 50% voted this government. They didnât receive authorization of a new constitution etc. What they did it wasnât in his program simply they misled the people.
Dear Kati! nobody is able to exceed our prime minister in his broken promises. But he and his team, have always sth.on the justification. I mean: the previous crew were doing in the similar way. Not taking into consideration that this time it was going to be better. I canât understand how people can vote the second time, for the such a liars.
I would like to write to you that Iâve just heard TV ( I was on the Net) but my husband always listen to the government TV channels, so I heard that they are boasting that about 1000 Polish people will come to the government ceremony on the 15 th Mars with a private train.
Of course this is a national commemoration but as the country is split hence the commemorations will be split.
Excuse me that I canât say anything better.
Good night.
Kati
P.s:(The chief mistake of our P.M. that is not he lies but he creates terrible laws as good as every day and with their the 2/3 parliament majority approve them and they became laws to everybodyâs surprise. Today a heath-expert explained on the single TV of opposition that not the Minister found out the new health laws but the P.M. and in one day it became laws. I donât want to anyone to listen this kind of news. TERRIBLE.)
Every political party or government misleads the populace. Thatâs their job to win the votes. And the populace happily follow after promised wealth and opportunity. Dog eats dog then.
I find it the populace is more to blame. For the break the code. Then they suffer. Cast pearls before swine can turn the other way, in this case.
So to avoid this type of vicious circle we need more educated, wise and considerate people in our society to lead those black dogs and white dogs to their proper destiny.
Dear Kati! do you really heard about polish anniversary on 15 of March? I tried to find something about that topic .Our news keep silence about it. The only thing I could find is that on 1 March is the Soldiersâ National Day-accursed anti-Communist underground in Silesia from 1945 - 1956.
Anyway thanks for the news. I hope you slept well.
Excuse me if I express myself badly. I wrote:
"âŚthey are boasting that about 1000 Polish people will come to the government ceremony on the 15 th Mars with a private train. "
It wants to mean that on the 15th Mars is a Hungarian National Commemoration about the 1848 Revolution. They were boasting that 1000 Polish will participate in their commemoration. Where your Jozef Bem was a really great general in this revolution. Bem-father (as Hungarian calls him) of course is respected person by every Hungarian . They were boasting yesterday evening as the the whole Poland would come here. 1000 people can be found everywhere for everything.
What happens in our country it isnât politics but an absurd drama in which we are all getting willy-nilly involved.
Many thanks for the idiom that I never heard. dog eat dog =
