Many do not like how and why I write. Many tell me so in very nasty words, actions and expressions. The anti Russian demons have made life very interesting, especially for someone who really knows Russia like I do. I am a serious threat to the anti Russia crowd. Yet I should not be a threat, I should be a voice to help span the gap created by piss poor politics and ignorance between two wonderful countries…
I received: interaction email with donation that made me think…
Keep writing. Whether I agree or not, doesn’t matter. You have an unique voice, from an unique place, with an unique perspective, at an unique time.
Strange thing to me is that neither side uses my uniqueness within my situation and perspective and tries to garner some sort of connection to twine the two countries together…. This is a fact that while Russia does not attack me for things I say, nor do they embrace me for anything I say. America hates me for what I say and are unable to embrace me for my ability to span a chasm of antipathetic feelings…
Other words I do not meet the agenda on either side…
What I do meet is my agenda and I simply write whatever I feel like and or about writing. I really do not take in consideration if you care to read it or not. I simply write what bothers, interests and irritates me…. and or what is happening around the Russia I live in…
Believe you me, there is a bunch less things about Russia that irritates me than America. Why should Russia? If I was happy with America 60 years ago, then I am darn for sure happy with a Russia, literally like the past America. That is the point I have made many times. Russia is very safe and secure within its peoples rights and freedoms. This cannot be said anymore about an America that jolts at its own shadow, when even the light is turned on…
But…
All that and whatever said, I do not feel unique in anyway. I feel worried, tired and just want to see the world get along. I want to see the rich get off their high horse and come out of the clouds. I want to see people on welfare get off their ass and work for a living. I want to see military’s stop attacking others just to propagate its own existence. I want…… (But yes we do live in a very unique time in history. lets hope that uniqueness does not kill us all!)
Does not matter does it? What I want, no more than it matters what you want. Maybe you want twenty locks on your door to protect against the boogeyman? I do not! For my beliefs are that if I live in a world that needs twenty locks, walls, fences and guards? Then my world is not right and I need a change to a better world…
I guess in one way I am unique…
I do truly love Russia. That statement alone makes me unique. It also makes me hated and hate is such a harsh word and a word we use too lightly at any given moment in life, within the western aspect of things…
I love my Russian girl who has stood by my side through thick and thin. I love the freedom I have in Russia. I love the liberty that abounds in Russia. I love to watch people that are walking, talking and living in that freedom. They (Russians) really do not know how good they have it right now in this moment of history. They are very intellectual, but they are like most on the worlds surface, the trees are in the way of the forest…. For I have seen the lose of freedoms first hand and watched Lady Liberty being stripped searched, unto her death…
I like this quote as a closing thought…
He would see civilization in danger of perishing under the oppression of a gigantic paradox: he would see multitudes of people starving in the midst of plenty, and nations preparing for war although pledged to peace. – Arthur Henderson
Yes he would…. and yes we do just that; everyday of our lives…
