This is not a prepared article, only an impromptu commentary of
current situation in Ukraine. Originally I thought there's no need to
write something about that irrational war, because almost everything is obvious.
But these days, with the deliberation of Bucha, Irpin and other
cities, some evidence revealing the true color of this war comes
to my attention.
I’m shocked. So maybe now is not the best time for
me to say something. It could be irrational, subjective, or biased.
Instead, a video here, pretty much tells everything I’m supposed to
say.
At this point I don’t have the patience to deeply analyze
the situation, or give any theory. I just hope the world
is rid of these foul beings, those who call themselves “human”.
Although, even myself know that it’s only a wonderful wish. Throughout
history there were always this kind, to act as barriers of
progress, leg-draggers of humanity, masks of knowledge-thirsty eyes, and road-blocks of
evolution. In the past, the instances of this kind trampled the
philosophy, science, and art of Ancient Athens. Several decades later they
killed non-believers in the name of God and Holy See. Eighty
years ago, they were busy trying to massacre other races because
whatever reasons they thought they had. Now they find new faces
and excuses.
True, that in human history, only in recent hundreds of years
did people find the fact that they are individuals, not tools.
They are supposed to shape their own lives, reach their own
goals, and achieve their own happiness, instead of carrying out some
other people’s will and being used as slaves and sacrificed as
scapegoats. Yet some certain people are fanatically eager to prevent such
progress, so that they can sit their thrones, giving orders to
other people like masters to slaves, killing other people like their
lives are totally depends on the mercy of the powerful. These
certain people act like saviors of the poor, but in fact
they keep the pitiful condition so that people in it would
have no extra energy to learn about the objective natural laws
thus would be easier to manipulate. They also act like guide
of the ignorant, but in fact they censor knowledge and information
so that people would stay in blindness, the only thing they
know is to sing praise to the brilliant master.
It’s ridiculous to see a bunch of half-empty people (both stomach
and brain) want to control the world and impose their rules,
which is supreme according to them, over thousand years of knowledge
and morality. Yet these people are too ignorant to see the
joke. Hopefully, the world is strong enough, to not fall back
to the age that these people belong to.
Let’s not forget the tomb of Archimedes and the killing that
ended his life. And the fire lit under Michel Servetus’ feet
and the “reason” of his sentence. Few people can keep a
clear mind, and make the right choice, in a time like
this, especially when the situation affects their own benefits. But I
still think people can learn something from history, although very slowly
and tortuous, despite George Bernard Shaw said otherwise. So, may the
current events raise caution to your future consideration for decisions, and
may those decisions turn out to be wise ones.

Now we discovered what happened in Izyum, similar things as in
Bucha and Irpin. People were tortured, killed, by some shady doings,
all because of nationalism, and irrational movements out of it. We
can't choose where we were born, so people born in a
town near a nationalist country are doomed. But we can choose
where we live, although sometimes with great difficulty, which is sometimes
set up by domineering people with specific purpose they see fit.
Yet there would be a time when we must choose, and
when we do that, one of the golden rules is, to
keep away from nationalism, physically and mentally.

year.
Shows exactly what tyranny does, and what free and honest people
do.
