What is it?
But here’s the thing. For example, everyone wants to get something quickly. Steal it, get your hands on it dishonestly, or privatize it and make a lot of money out of it. For traditional people, it is also important to have the status of an elite, to be respected people. Status is very important for traditional people. The faster this status is obtained, the more realistic the tradition will be. Ancestral precepts. Status people also have more opportunities. Everyone goes to them with their own interests. This is the culture. Traditional people are not interested in how you became a respected person, how you achieved success. Especially when the market relations came. The USSR collapsed. Maybe you stole, maybe you were a smart broker on the stock exchange, maybe you sold cars on the market. Maybe he was a servant, a sycophant to a former Communist boss, maybe a hypocrite, maybe even openly robbed the common people. The output is valued only the results of your work. Therefore, the traditional people always remain a hostage of their culture. For people who value hierarchy, everything else is not a hindrance to the goal. And the goal is always the status of the zeref. That’s how zerefs are raised. In the respect. In respect for the elders in the first place.There is nothing shameful about it. But, as always, all the excess occurs on the norm, and the bad increases on the good. An over-respectful person takes a big step forward if the subject they over-respect has a weakness. Any official likes flattery. And flattery is a false status. Let it be at least some, but the status! Then it becomes a habit not to respect itself, but to work with someone else’s weakness. The young servant is doing better. In the traditional world, therefore, they do not like an independent and strong personality at all. By the way, where did it come from? How could she even be here? Well, the dislike of a strong nature created all the conditions for breeding servants, outwardly very respectful, in fact passers-by professionals. The people do not know what Pharisaism is, but they already want hypocrites to be the elite.
The traditional people even come together to choose the most suitable hypocrite.
How do they do this? Completely without the proverbial democracy and secret elections in voting booths. They do it without saying a word. Completely instinctive solidarity. They don’t even teach it specifically. This comes from traditional culture. This is the culture. All the weak unite against the bright personality. Another question is, why do they do this? After all, traditional people like the relationship. In this case, the kinship of blood passes into a new kinship of souls. In this new world all together they can play the hypocrite: to praise each other, to ascribe a non-existent feats, to enjoy friendship with the owner. No one here will not prevent them to act pharisaically, although they and I do not know. However, it turns out again the shortest path to the cherished goal.
Thus, Pharisaism or ostentatious hypocrisy is a quality of the traditional world and a trait of traditional people. They value their time and save their effort. What could be easier than a faithful (pathetic, even heroic fanatic) face? You don’t even need to perform any feat for this. You just have to flatter your boss. Perform the rite properly. The ancestors performed rites. This is also a rite of passage.Clap, perform, March in the square. There is one but. And this is very important.
As long as you don’t actually take the risk. People of the rite gather at the rite mass not to sacrifice their bodies, but only their means. They agree to perform the rite, so that they are not suspected of disloyalty and hostility of thought. And already rebellion, rebellion, traditional parents can squeeze out of their children drop by drop. An affectionate calf will suck two mothers (You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar). Here exactly such heifers or Pharisees seep up (get up, become elite) like sand in a cage. And then the most remote and most common goal comes within arm’s length of all the infiltrating hypocrites. They are trying to fulfill their traditional task: build a house, breed similar heirs, and pass on all their wealth to them, including through sheer hypocrisy and opportunism. And if there are only twins from the traditional culture around, then no one asks unnecessary questions at all. The raven does not peck eyes to other raven. Everyone understands that tradition comes first. Because of the time limit of great competition, the entire top is overflowing with such Pharisees. They fill the space with their quantity. And the mode doesn’t hold up. Collapses under their weight and falls. I assure you, at this moment of collapse, new hypocrites have already matured. They are already waiting, waiting for their turn. They also humbly affectionate calfs sucked two mother to take over the baton.
CHAPTER III
WHO LOOKS AND AWAKENS THE ABYSS
All the Narodniks and socialists are always shouting: People!
The people are poor, the people suffer, the people are sad. I will say right away, the people do not even know that they are suffering. Inert people fulfill the covenants that are called life. I would compare this people with the biblical first man Adam. He lived quite happily in the garden of Eden and did not know that he was suffering from ignorance. And many centuries. And then a certain serpent creeps up and persuades the second person – eve to eat an Apple from the tree of Paradise. Eve is eating. And finds out that she and Adam were suffering from ignorance. What if the socialist serpent had not crawled up and agitated the progenitors of all mankind, that is, of all peoples?
On the one hand, it seems that the serpent is right. He is actually a well-wisher to people, not this notorious owner of the garden of Eden. On the other hand, he condemned the first couple of people to eternal earthly torment. In this conflict-to enlighten Adam and eve or not and the conflict of conservatives and socialists is laid. I’m not on whose side, but in the middle. Adam and eve produced so many people that the endless suffering of the peoples also produced a crowd of socialists. They are now shouting: People! The people are poor, the people are suffering. Did the people ask for them? Well, he’s still as stupid as the first Adam. You should eat the Apple of knowledge for it. And all socialists like snakes crawl out of different holes and push apples directly into the mouths of inert people. What does this mean?
The previous Chapter spoke of the sacrifice of socialists and Narodniks in the name of the bright ideals of the revolution. Well, that’s it. All socialists proclaim ideas with a long-term plan for their implementation. They certainly promise a lot to the people and take them on an amazing journey of fantasy. But if the people who carefully listen to them resemble the primitive Adam? These are primitive people, for example, who live in the desert or in the far North graze herds of reindeer. The fact that they can see drawn in the future? They don’t see it. They don’t want it at all. They like the pictures themselves. This is the promised land. In all promises, people will find the most important thing for themselves. This will be important, substantive and material. They will not wait for a bright future, in short, but will settle down already on the way to a bright future. After all, on the way to the new Eden of socialism, no one forbade the implementation of the tradition: to build houses, start families and produce offspring. So they do not see in any pictures of revolutionaries only tradition. What the ancestors did yesterday from below, they will see today at the top. Yes, these revolutionaries promise to give land. What else does a peasant need? If the revolutionaries promise to livestock, the nomads will see a lot of a lot of cattle. That’s all you need. Each zeref has its own Eden in mind. If the population is made up of zerefs, then they can only really be attracted by traditional fairy tales. But in these fairy tales, everyone will see their own fairy-tale end. When zeref get into fairy tale, serafy rid of the storytellers and leave his fellow – Pharisees. Of course, they will understand that they no longer need storytellers socialists. People, ordinary
