As the moment of compiling pre-electoral lists is getting closer, soon the “era of taking offense” will begin. It is clear that you cannot “throw” everybody to the first places and a part of contenders (in the case of Armenia, actually the majority) has no chance in the “rating” lists. Here, the thought that “such a wonderful person like I am not appreciated” mandatorily emerges, which will be expressed publicly or will be voiced “out of the footage” and predict the behavior of many people. This in its turn will be manifested in running back and forth to various other political parties or camps as well as saying bitter words addressed to their former friends and fellow party members. The pathos will be approximately as follows: “How is it possible for a politician with my scope and a person having my powerful intellectual potential does not become a legislator?” Well, if becoming a legislator is a goal of life and it does not matter how then this question is quite appropriate.
Since recently, a change in the government took place, various other reasons to be offended popped-up. First of all, some people are dismissed from work, and they, of course, rise heartedly against this “blatant injustice”. If new positions are not given to them, these people will tell in the narrow or wide circles in the remaining lifetime how they were “flourish” the sphere, which was entrusted to them and how these “new ones” are defacing it. In vain, no office position is forever. If you know how to “flourish”, then meet your successor and tell him about your ideas in a private conversation. Unless, of course, the goal is to “flourish” rather than breast-beating on your own services.
There is another reason for taking offense related to the same government change: why was the vacant position appointed not to me but to this … (put the word yourself). “Ouch, they do not know my place, if I were there, I would do so many things.” Again, a wrong logic. If you truly have something to say or do, then you will do it regardless of your occupied position. In general, if we judge only by the publications of the media, then exclusively position-mania, mandate-mania and money-mania people are living in Armenia, who slightly concealing their true intentions are speaking about some high materials. In fact, there are also normal people in Armenia who know how all this ends.
… Yesterday, the corpse of perhaps a criminal authority was brought to the morgue and for about 20 minutes, a few dozen black “jeeps” blocked the traffic prohibiting the drivers’ traffic with light signals because they had come to “visit their bro”. The one who was already in the morgue absolutely did not care about it.
