I'm scared. I don't know about you, but I'm scared.

Diseases are cured, poverty is overcome, dictators are overthrown, but...

… an empty mind and ideals, fixated on money and malice cannot be fixed.

And not only that, but it is THEY who lead to incurable diseases, to insurmountable poverty and to the cementing of dictatorships.

And more: not only THAT, but they are also passed down from generation to generation, and with deepening.

A downward spiral.

Resident Evil. 

A report was published (

>>details HERE<<

) by the Commission for Education and UNICEF, according to which almost half (47.9%) of the youth (between 15 and 24 years old) in Bulgaria do not have basic skills that are necessary for secondary education.

We are talking about over 315 thousand young Bulgarians who do not know anything, but have to work in order to live. 

The report also talks about other countries, of course, but how reassuring is it that the situation is bad elsewhere?

How much does the fact that the problems are elsewhere make our situation better?

If Ivancho breaks his arm, and then Goshko, is Ivancho better off?

Does it hurt less?

No. 

I don't want to sound like a pensioner who resents the young, but the divide between the penultimate few and the last generation is a chasm. 

Yes, probably the too fast evolution of technology – or rather: revolution – led to this

, because it made information too easily available, it devalued it and people lost respect and interest in it.

Ironic, isn't it?—the more easily accessible information is, the more people don't care about it.

People are like that, what to do?

In Portugal, they decriminalized drug use and possession (not just weed, but hard drugs) and in about fifteen years their use has dropped by tens of percent.

Make it readily available and it is no longer interesting, no longer desired.

And while with drugs this is a good trend, with the pursuit of knowledge it is disastrous. 

But that can't be the only reason.

No global catastrophe happens because of a single cause.

This catastrophe is not the fault of the last generation.

They are the victims, but they did not create it.

She is our creation that we handed over to them.

We were sarcastic, ironic, tactless… we were too embittered and scared of life always in an "interesting time", in Transition, before in a dictatorship, to teach the next that society is built on ideals.

Instead, from playgrounds, sidewalks and pastry shops, parental instructions were heard: you will crush, son, you will kick, daughter, whatever you like, you will take it, you are the best!, let others climb.

Thinking that what you lacked, you will teach your child to get it.

And in the "new time" there was no longer a need for restraints and ideals, because tired of not having, we tried to educate robbery, tired of lack of freedom, 

And that's how they grew up little chumps who couldn't tie their shoes, but they lived with the thought that they were the greatest and the world owed them.

Singles.

Egoists.

Raised that society is for you to milk it, not to help it.

Brought up to think that holding the door or making a way is for the weak and unfortunate, and that science is just a matter of passing an exam to get a degree, to get a good job, and - if you're a tariqat - to start suing bribes and to find "your people" where you need them.

Lawyers make fun of the system: "a good lawyer knows the law, an excellent one knows the judge", they laugh, it's funny to them. Most of them are already like that in most professions and fields.

Morality is a laughingstock, worthy of ridicule.

Learning is funny.

Who studies when he can only memorize or copy, get a diploma and enjoy himself?

Self-improvement?

Nonsense!

A strong car is self-improvement.

A 1000cc silicone chick is self-improvement.

Villa, house and pool, a holiday in the Maldives is self-improvement.

I have come across doctors who know less about a given treatment than I do... (?!) Once they graduate, they no longer touch the medical literature, they say to themselves: Oh well!—maybe something has changed in the human body, but !

And they poison with antibiotics, and they trample with harmful inhibitors, one day (patient) passes, another comes, they blow the whistle and live their lives.

They are not interested in any modern achievements in science, the patient will pay for both good and bad treatment.

Choose a field or profession, close your eyes and imagine the people in it.

Do you see a difference from what was just described?

That was us.

Our generations. 

What can we expect when we - those fools described above - set about teaching the young and showing them life and what is valuable in it?
