The philosopher Theophrastus, born in 371 BC. C., received its name from his teacher Aristotle, who appreciated the sharp brain of the student to the point that he changed his name and made him his successor in the Peripatetic School. They were both passionate about human character and morals. Theofrastos lived a long time and complained as the end was near that he would die just as he was in the process of understanding something about life.
One thing he had realized was that “wise men need laws.” This is something that most people still don’t understand. At regular intervals, someone or someone yells for more laws, stricter laws, harsher punishments, stricter supervision, and rages when this doesn’t happen. Anders Tegnell is a cow dog. The entire government should resign due to its inability to stop the virus. Who didn’t lock us up in time, who thought it was enough to tell us what we could and should do.
What irresponsible guys! Dare to believe that people have understanding. Golden times for everyone with a fascist disposition and academic arrogance. The diagnoses were close. Swedes are prepared for anxiety or, on the contrary, unimaginative. They are addicted to drugs. They are damaged by peace, suffering collective oblivion.
How much safer it was to live in Hungary or Greece, where a minister could easily close the partnership. Sad Swedish democracy doesn’t work like that. The cry for a strong leader grew louder.
Several years ago, and in quiet times, I wrote that “woe to the day that Sweden needs its intellectuals.” They are busy with other things. Namely, cover the Swedish people with all kinds of shortcomings.
But I have Sweden and To the Swedes to thank for allowing me to educate myself, to become a writer, to befriend my wife, friend to my children. It was Sweden and the Swedes who liberated me from the disgusting role of pater families, who taught me equality, freedom and independence.
My mother was an uneducated woman. When he visited us in Sweden, I was concerned that he would misunderstand the situation because my wife and I had her own room. To avoid this, I went into a complicated explanation. She interrupted me.
– Oh boy! I would also like my room.
This is what many do not have the courage to admit. Sweden can teach us many things, Swedish and non-Swedish, and it takes courage to recognize it.
That means of course not that everything is correct and appropriate. But a country and a people that came out of poverty, illiteracy, this same is reintroduced, freedom, superiority, fornication, religious fanaticism and political ditto, a country and a people that for two hundred years have avoided war , the source of all tears. according to Homer, he deserves respect, if not love.
As Strindberg said: it can be difficult to love Sweden. But you have to try.
