You perform poorly, very poorly!

You perform poorly, very poorly!

You perform poorly, very poorly!

We have a theater society, dear friends. We are all actors, and our stage is social networks.

 

And so, we play the roles: successful businessmen, responsible parents, health-conscious athletes, worried about Palestine, caring for Islam and a bunch of others.

Some will call this a quality of the human psyche, another - the state of the human soul, a third - stupidity or something else. But this phenomenon is difficult to accept. Sitting in a café, drinking coffee or a glass of juice we discuss the tragedy of the Palestinian people and the sacrifices they bear. Is that how it is done?

Listen, when we are sincerely worried, can we really eat anything? We walk around the room, wringing our hands, convulsively swallowing tears, and the lump in our throat and the heaviness in our chest make it difficult to breathe.

And here a man sits imposingly, drinks a cocktail and tells us about the national tragedy! How else does indifference manifest itself? You know, this is the very case when the language of a state is much more eloquent than the language of words.

Or, for example, how can you publish photos of the charred bodies of children in your stories on social networks, and then, after a couple of clicks, how you are deliciously treated in a restaurant, and your table is overflowing with dishes? War is war, but lunch is on schedule?

As was already said at the beginning, we are a theater society, and we are all actors playing roles. We are all bad at them, as in that same fable: But you, my friends, whatever seats you take, musicians all your lives will never make. We are bad actors on stage and in life we are also so-so. “I do not believe it,” the famous Stanislavsky would tell us.

“I do not believe you, gentlemen! You are performing poorly, very poorly!”
