The Light Ahead

Europe really asks me to be civilized, politically correct, as well as to integrate in its system of values.
However, in the same time, it shuts the gates of the workforce market right in my face in a chauvinist, depreciative and intolerable way. I read the articles about Romanians in the British, Italian and Spanish press, and I have also read the speeches of the politicians: they are quite similar to the articles published in "Romania Mare".

We are living cloudy and stirring times in which, as Shakespeare used to say, "the world goes beyond itself". What should one believe in, what kind of support should one find when everything around seems to fall apart for ever? All the moral and intellectual values seem to have eroded all the way. Dear reader, I honestly admit the confusion and sufferance of the world I live in.

The politicians I used to believe in disappointed me. Many of them seem to have collaborated to the Security, I have seen them taking part in dirty strategies in order to keep the power. I don’t know a single one of them to be seen as an incorruptible person, which one would vote for with both hands. The party I used to believe in turned out to be a huge bundle of vulgar and economical-financial interests, and careless as far as doing good things is concerned. Many members of the cultural environment have changed a lot recently. One gets to see the people he admired for their run after functions, distinctions and awards taking part in a system that doesn’t do anything else but lie. This is like the communist system, which we thought we killed and buried, raised from the dead and poisoned all the things he meets.

Actually, communism isn’t as dead as we think it is. Many people I met abroad still believe in the noble ideals of socialism and communism. They were intellectuals. I’ve reached to the conclusion that my poor liberalism is seen as an odious capitalism in the west. The poems I heard during the fancy literary meetings spoke about imperialism and the fight for peace in the ‘50s’ manner. Nowadays, the Communist-Socialist-Anarchist Left is going over the tens of millions of bodies of Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, over the terrible sufferance of the people that had to accept communism. I liked the American ideologies for years in a row. I thought the great country over the Ocean was the symbol of democracy and freedom of the world. I am not an American supporter any more, because "one mistake after another cannot lead to success". As far as I am concerned, the fact that I ceased to believe in the ethical voice of America is the same thing with not trusting in a better postmodern world anymore.

Europe really asks me to be civilized, politically correct, as well as to integrate in its system of values.

I read the articles about Romanians in the British, Italian and Spanish press, and I have also read the speeches of the politicians: there are quite similar to the articles published in "Romania Mare". If the British are rude and chauvinist, how can one ask for politeness and tolerance from people mutilated by communism for decades like the Romanians? Churchill forced Romanians to adopt communism in the same manner Stalin did it. These are just several aspects of the world, which don’t seem to bring anything good in the future.
