I usually like to think of myself as someone who went bankrupt. The forced manager of his life who was prepared by upbringing and schooling for a different future. This way, it turns out that I belong to those generations that were left without their own country, bankrupt in life because I still don't know that I'm not in the world, but the world is in me.
Shakespeare wrote...” O man, haughty creature! As soon as you get hold of power, you start performing such foolishness under the firmament that even the angels weep." When you become the owner of your own life, which is when you turn fifty, learn these lines from Shakespeare. But that's not so bad either. Someone might understand one day. The point of my thinking is as follows.
If I am an arrogant creature, created as an evolutionary product by the mere coincidence of my ancestors, then if I accept this way of thinking, then everything is allowed to me! Because, be careful in that case, I can behave however I want and nothing matters because I am an evolutionary coincidence unrepeatable in all eons and I have no responsibility either to myself or to eternity. I can lie, I can steal and do things that would make angels cry. Eternity occurs after the end of time, so immediately after my death! In this sense, this world and this Montenegro is tailored. You can certainly call it whatever you want, Western values, eternal Montenegro, various patriotic phrases, it doesn't matter. He eventually comes to the same thing. You can even tailor the new government according to this value system. It's same. I let that world into me. But.
If I am ..."The voice of one in the desert crying prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight...", then I am only one in the world. Then I am the genetic baton and I am responsible for passing that baton to those for whom I am responsible at the next turn. And what if this life still has some meaning? If what I am is important, not who I am? If there are still values by which I can measure my life? I do not know. I like to think of myself as someone who went bankrupt anyway. If history is not written by the winners, then every now and then. If I don't have to "run" to that Europe for new values. If I still have a country that just hid in my chest.
One thing is certain though. To paraphrase Thomas Mann again. There are no good or bad Montenegrins. There are only those who are deceived by the devil's seed and those who are not. History is the teacher of life. With or without the government... With or without bankruptcy.
