Title: Enough of people Author: Antti Rautiainen Date: 17 July 2012 Language: en Topics: Russia, exile Source: Retrieved on 3rd November 2021 from https://avtonom.org/en/author_columns/enough-people
Enough of people who are sorry with the fact I got kicked out from
Russia. You know nothing about it, you have never been in the same
situation and you will never be. I do not want to think about the whole
issue, so do not say anything.
Consider a situation, when your feet got torn off in some accident.
Would peoples condolences bring your feet back?
No they would not.
Condolences make sense when it is about some temporary loss, which you
may get over with. For example, if your house burns down, you maybe may
have another house at some point.
But what is the point with condolences in case of some permanent loss?
Nothing whatsoever. I supposed, I am not good in social relations, but
to me this is obvious, for most of the people — not. Apparently, it is
not social wisdom to which people are submitting, but some traditional
norms of behaviour for various circumstances, which do not make any
sense.
What is the point of “getting over it” in the first place? Obviously, it
is not goot to be completely dysfynctional after some loss, but if some
loss in your life is real, you wont get over it, never.
We are like cups, which life slowly fills with shit. With few of us the
cups get filled, for most there is enough space. Whats the point of
tossing the shit over? It would mean degradation, wiping over the life
experience which makes us what we are.
