Re: elegy
Yeah, but many of our famous people didn't grow up in Armenia. No matter what rank you are, see, in Armenia, it's very, very hard to move on. Other Armenians pull you down! That's the problem. We have so many talented people here. You know how they are treated? If not, good. You don't want to know. Anyways, I understand what your saying J. I just hope you understand what I'M saying.
...I have nothing more to add...
I'm talking about the present, and Ara's message is that our present condition, in terms of how our people think, move, work, etc... is not very much unlike the past 600 years. As you said, the majority go with the flow, apparently because they don't have the means to do great works. To me that is nonsense, some of the most influential people in history came from the lowest ranks.
As long as people live and think as individuals as opposed to a collective, nothing will change. If a group of 100 men work together to build homes, they can build an entire neighbourhood in months given the resources to do so. Government and the social structure is preventing this from happening.
