After the Rose revolution many of us were inspired by the spirit of it and were under the euphoria. But afterwards the mind protested against it. People protested for the better future of the country, but not for the own well being and political posts.
At that time many of us thought: "They know what to do..., it is its business". On November 7, during the well known events there were all of us: those who were beaten, and those who beat us. What happen was painful for both sides. And after these events more then once it was painful for everything what happen.
In August of 2008, many of us were in sorrow for killed Georgians. And at this time I was not at the traditional Georgian table with the glass of wine, like many other "patriot" Georgians, higher in rank then I am.
In the first days of September one of my old friends, said when meeting me that I am getting much older for the past several weeks. But I was proud that I did not loose my face. The grey hairs are nothing to compare with the tragedy which happens.
I wished that our President will say: "People! I am not a king, I am a president elected by all of you. And despite the fact that we were fighting against the most powerful and unbeatable Army, I took a decision to resign!" - Yes I wished he would say this. I wished he do it. But this not happen...
Now the supporters of the government would say in turn: nobody better could come in power!
Listen! I am not against the President himself, I am for the making him a hero. I wished the rules of game to be observed, unwritten rules, the conventions, which are accepted in all civilized countries. I wished all world would wonder about such did. I dreamt about this...
Nobody will understand this critic, and immediately you may become an enemy. And the dreams, who will analyze them? Nobody!
Regrettably, by the rules accepted in the Georgian reality, in such case, if you are a supporter of a regime, then you may be labeled as an enemy, and you are defenses against the false supporters of the government, who are flattering.
This was the case always in our past history, during the kingship of our kings...
As we know the political climate in the country have to be created by the government and by the opposition, and such climate have to be proportional to the demands of the society. In such case it is questionable are they aware about the needs of the society? Do they know in fact what the people need?
"Nobody cares about people!"
Nobody cares about us, and nobody feels our pain. When we are useful for them to gain the political points, then we are the generous nation, if we are not useful for the political forces then we are brainless mass, the blind weapon in the hands of the political forces, the electorate used for its success. We are the machinery soulless, we are choosing, electing with the hope, with afraid of something, for to be laughed at even more...
Nobody needs to share our pain...
They are taping. They are listening to us, our phone conversations and so on..., They are fixing every word! They are researching and analyzing everything!... We are saying this, but who are listening to us. Who even cares about us? Who is empathetic to our anxiety? Who? - the opposition or the government? What are the results of its listening or phone tapping? It does not looks like that they are understanding us!
They are listening? But who is listening to whom?
We, the society, are guilty, that more then once turned blind eyes to the injustice and crime. We are caring, as well only about ourselves but not about the country. And the primary priority to us is our well being before the well being of the country.
And what is the main, that the society after the Rose Revolution becomes more and more nihilistic. And the reason for this is that.. - They are listening to us and we are not heard..., they are watching us and we are not seen to them...And the friend is an enemy for them and the real enemy is a saint...
