Each person selects the part of the reality that is more in harmony with his upbringing, beliefs and his seen dreams. Often, we tell others about our perceptions, sometimes falling into exaggerations and extremes.
If a person, for example, suffers from a “pro-Russian” mania, it seems to him that the whole world has come out against his beloved country, that high morality and patriotism flourishes in this country, while the country that he does not like is fraught with homosexuals and criminal migrants who every other day rape European girls. Such people are reluctant to have comprehensive information neither their favorite nor non-favorite phenomena as it may destruct their dream.
There are also the exact opposite people living with “anti-Russian” dream who do not want to see anything in Russia except alcoholism and corruption. They also see all the tragedies of the Armenian people in Russia’s imperialistic policy, and when a problem arises here on any issue, they give hope to us, “be strong, the West will help us.” An intoxication begins with these people from the name “Putin” which can last several days.
But do not be surprised if I say that these two dreams, no matter how extreme they are, do not cause a complaint or, moreover, wrath in me. If the person visions the life accordingly, why should I burden myself with the thankless task of dissuading him? I am a member of the European club, but I have nothing against Griboyedov club, and if I am invited there, if possible, I will also listen to the “Griboyedov” speakers (well, of course, it would be desirable that they behave themselves like educated people, which seems is not always successful). Incidentally, I do not think that these two clubs must contradict each other.

If people do not go beyond the law, then let them say what they want, let them tell what dream they want. If this dream contains toxic elements, then it first of all poisons the tellers and only then to the environment. So, let each one thinks about his “ecology.”
… I almost do not smoke, but I do not “terrorize” people who smoke in my presence. Let me explain why: I would be poisoned more from this “terror” than from the smoke.
