Europeans will never think of Russians as of people at the same level with them. We are traditionaly seen as strange barbarians with alien religion.
Europeans does not exist. As Russians. Only People exist. Single human beings. Thay can behave like beasts, sometimes. Or they can behave like humans. Humans does not kill other people. This is a simple difference.
Unfortunatly this happens.
Here in Italy happens often. The same as in every country of the world. What I think is wrong is generalize. Who started is not that important. What is important is that people stop to suffer.
Russian and cecenian. This is my hope.
Anyway.
I was many times in russia. St. Petersburg. I worked there.
I have russian friends. They are great people and I love them.
My anonimous friend,
I live in lala land. I live in a country full of problems called Italy. You'll be my guest if you came in this region called europe were people like you and boroda live.
There are those who tell us that humanity is condemned to war and violence, that it is ingrained in our nature to hate and kill each other. Such people will tell you that they are simply being “realistic." I sincerely hope that you will never submit to such “realism" not about your own lives, not about the world. If you examine such claims carefully, you will usually find that those who make them have simply decided--in an arbitrary and often self-serving way--what is realistic and what is not. They cut off and deny the limitless possibilities of reality to make it fit with their own pessimism and narrow-mindedness.
President Kennedy clearly rejected pessimism about peace when he said, “We need not accept that view. Our problems are manmade. Therefore, they can be solved by man... No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings."
The limitless power of the individual is unleashed when we work together. This is the power of connection, the power of human solidarity. Our dreams grow and flourish when we speak them out loud, when we share them with others. To do this requires courage. We must overcome the fear that we will be misunderstood, looked down on or laughed at for putting into words the content of our hearts.
Be brave, anonymous friend. Talk with your lala friends.
