Thoughts about politics in reference to the essay of László Halász titled 'The destructiveness of silence"
“May you live in interesting times.”
(Ancient Chinese curse1)
“Life is beautiful if it is hectic”
(Hungarian proverb)
It would be interesting to consider the background of the motto, his causes his motivations. Both are in some way related to the fact that I want to write. It is sure that we live interesting times, and undoubtedly it is better if we approach the complexity of hard times as beautiful thing.
