MORE THAN WORDS

Error

The awareness that you have made a mistake is the basic condition for not doing the same thing again. Equally in medical facilities, as in life, but also in politics...

It's like I'm seeing a scene. The citizen made his way to Pljevlja to receive Pfizer Revakcin, and he probably mentioned this to the doctor and the nurse several times, so that there would be no misunderstanding... As if I see, I say, a chirping nurse who is in intensive telephone communication, but, confidently nods her head to the citizen, don't worry, everything is clear... And then the citizen received - the Chinese vaccine. They still convinced him that he was better that way...

This is Montenegro. Not only is it easy to make a mistake, but the basic fraudulent impulse - to deceive the victim - immediately appears. Oh, and it's better that way. Why not. As far as I understand, maybe the sister should be rewarded, when it's better that way...

Everyone makes mistakes, of course, but as Mr. Honda pointed out - it's important not to make the same mistake more than once. I hope it will be the same with the medical worker from Pljevlja.

One of the consequences of that kind of ossification of society (falling in love with one's own mistakes is also a form of petrification) is the fact that Montenegrin society is homophobic, and that "deep down", so to speak. We have stupid home-made leaflets that someone hung on trees and there is also a representative who fights against queer satanists, or satanic queers, I'm not sure. And neither was he, for sure. If the young member of parliament sees the problems of this society in this way, he must have gone astray in the parliament. Does anyone really think that they are helping this society with such rhetoric?

Then you hear that the prime minister is a "treasonous scumbag", and that's what a recently dismissed official says. Then it was clarified that this is how everyone in that political bloc thinks about him. And no one was worried - imagine how terrible it is when somewhere everyone thinks the same about something. There is no nuance, not even an incident of otherness. There is "us" and "them", that is, "traitors". Why don't they get tired of seeing traitors everywhere.

It is, unfortunately, the most popular Montenegrin refrain. Here, too, Amfilohije, from the same consciousness, was once proclaimed a "Turk". Before, for the same consciousness, he became "Santa".

I'm afraid we won't move anywhere as long as we see in each other - only traitors...

Speaking of mistakes... In addition to all other mistakes, big or small, we will have to remember this government for the abolition of the Philological High School in Podgorica, i.e. the last department of such orientation.

Those in the know know - one of the most beautiful stories that happened in the otherwise bleak landscape of Montenegrin education in the past decades was the establishment and existence of that Philological Gymnasium, that is, the department.

Everywhere you see that ugly handwriting of demolition. Of course, it is much easier to decorate than to arrange. And I'm afraid that's exactly what's happening here. In the name of which policy, in the name of which future, do you have the right to deprive young people of such a choice, such a student experience?

In this way, ugly and senseless politics is introduced where it certainly has no place, and as usual, it is the children who suffer, because of whom, it should be remembered, the education system (including the relevant ministry) exists. As if the pandemic and the absence of normal school days were not enough for this generation of students, there is also the Ministry of Education with its very enlightening actions. To make matters even more unusual, both the minister and the new director of the high school belong to the philology profession. No logic, of course. It is only important to cancel something, even if that something is good. But, you know, it was founded by the old, evil ones... Stories for little children. Not for serious high schoolers.

The next issue of Art will be published on August 28. Until then, look around you, and make your own list of mistakes you see all around. This is the reality, not the statements of politicians and their attendants...
