przegladdziennikarski.pl 2 weeks ago

Charles:

Mario, before we talk (what we promised readers) about "health", delight comment on my question in the title.

Maria:

Why are you asking them?

Charles:

In order to find out whether, in the light of all the laws presently in force in the world, and above all the law of MORAL, 1 country is entitled to attack another?

Maria:

You mean the U.S. invasion of Iran?

Charles:

Yes!

And before that, Russia to Ukraine as well as the tragedy in the Gaza Strip. besides what happened in Venezuela, as well as the dark announcements of the president of the United States to absorb Canada, Cuba, Greenland, etc.

In my mind, I can't go on about it, including erstwhile Iran is attacked.

Maria:

The current situation has clearly revealed that global institutions, including the UN, are not effective in preserving planet peace. Human rights in Euro-American culture have besides not prevented the focus of efforts on arms. The Dalai Lama is silent. Churches are quiet, too.

Charles:

What do you mean the Dalai Lama is silent?

Maria:

It means that authority is silent, and there are few. Unfortunately, the words of Pope Francis, or the erstwhile Pope, were besides disregarded and criticized.

Charles:

Also present due to the fact that the war brings large income to the companies, and they find the decisions of politicians. And the Orthodox Church (the Ukrainian one, as well as Moscow one), does not hold a categorical position either.

Maria:

I agree with you.

The examples you give in your question are interpreted differently by those who learn not only from the media.

The difference in explanation of the causes of wars besides depends on whether individual watches TVN or, for example, Polsat News.

Charles:

What is the difference?

Maria:

The views expressed by TVN are in line with the ‘Electoral Gazette’ and are in line with the views of the current ruling party. On the another hand, Polsat News gives quite a few space to opposition organization representatives.

Charles:

I do not share your view here. I would like the interpretations given by the various media to let for self-assessment, in contrast to the tv "Republic", which only imposes utmost "right" reasoning (!), which is the origin of many misconceptions and manipulations. In any case, I am in favour of restoring law and justice in Poland, but not in the organization sense, but in the real regulation of our country.

But let's leave the discussion on that.

Maria:

Why?

Charles:

For I have a second question relating to the full subject of our conversation today, and I leave your answer to the above question to our Readers' comments (in the box under our conversation: leave the answer).

Maria:

Okay, so I'm asking you this second question.

Charles:

I have late received quite a few emails from people with whom I have worked in my life, and I inactive highly appreciate their technological achievements on the issue of cooperation with Germany, Poland's presence in the European Union and widely understood humanities, education, improvement of discipline and culture, that is, topics that are peculiarly close to me.

Maria:

Don't make unnecessary "introduction", just ask for a question.

Charles:

Well, they tell me that they are withdrawing from their activity, due to the fact that they feel "POSSED". Therefore, I wanted to ask you if there is specified a thing as labour burn (fatigue? discouragement?) after which you no longer want anything.

Maria:

A man who has any passion in life will not feel professionally burned, even in the face of large difficulties standing in the way of achieving the goal.

Charles:

Why?

Maria:

For he is aware of the difference between the "two worlds": the 1 he is and the 1 to whom he is going through his actions.

Charles:

Beautifully said!

Maria:

Professionally burned out, or discouraged, bitter and disappointed are those whose work has not satisfied enough, without a sense of mission to “save” the world.

Charles:

So those who work mostly to get what to live for?

Maria:

Yes!

Charles:

What are they expected to do to save the world, as you say?

Maria:

The planet is saved by those – as I have described it – who experience injustice in society and who feel or know that the planet is badly decorated.

Charles:

Like revolutionaries?

Maria:

Not only that, but that's 1 way to describe it.

In order to accelerate the expected change, they organize violence.

An example is the French Revolution of 1789 or the actions of Fidel Castro.

Charles:

But there are besides organizations that want to save the planet with peaceful methods by giving lectures, writing books and manifestos, organizing seminars, conferences or various kinds of marches and protests.

Maria:

Agreed. specified actions foster change in individual consciousness, but the process of transforming reality is then very slow.

Charles:

So what??

Maria:

Therefore, actions to improve the planet should be taken by people with an highly strong vital and developed sense of work not only for themselves, but besides for humanity, which each of us is simply a part of.

Charles:

And if these are violations of average (and established) human rights, e.g. violations of the constitution, then what then?

Maria:

The laws, especially the Constitution, are binding, but revolutionaries perfecting the world, breaking them. They did so in the name of higher values, seeking to improve the unjust world.

The current trend that homosexual marriages concluded in another countries should recognise Polish law has nothing to do with the quest to improve the world. It would be adequate to introduce a akin law in Poland and then there would be no legal chaos.

Charles:

You're right, but let's not bring it up anymore, but let's go back to the question of "professional burnout," how do you explain it?

Maria:

Explain what?

Charles:

That, for example, our Wieszcz, whom I love – Adam Mickiewicz – created his top works until 1834. He was 36 at the time. After “Pan Tadeusz”, i.e. after 1834, for the next 21 years he devoted himself to mystics and politics, poetically he was completely “burned”. This was forgotten, the fetuses of the “young spirit” remained. How do you comment?

Maria:

First of all, this activity of Mickiewicz was not so much forgotten, as it was classified, due to the fact that he published articles in the “Tribune of the Peoples” approving socialism. Criticism of socialism is frequently due to ignorance, due to the fact that the explanation of socialism is several, not only those related to Marx.

But to answer your question, I want to stress that all fresh passion consumes us more than the erstwhile one, and that is what we give ourselves.

Charles:

What do you mean? delight make an example of this.

Maria:

I was friends with, for example, an actor of Kraków theatres who stopped performing on phase due to the fact that she dedicated herself to painting paintings and writing poems.

Charles:

And you added that "multi-hour and long-term media contacts can kill any passion and increase inactivity". Explain this, please.

And say something more about the “several theories of socialism” you mentioned.

Maria:

One day I decided to remainder and spent almost 2 days in front of the TV.

I watched the news, the publicist broadcasts, and the intellectual films I was struggling to find.

After 2 days, I didn't want to go back to work, even though he's my passion. All I wanted was to proceed to passively receive the media image of the planet and to be comfortable in idleness.

Charles:

What?

Maria:

I was terrified of my condition, which helped me get out of a two-day marazme.

Charles:

Does that mean the media is incapacitating?

Maria:

Yes, especially erstwhile individual easy takes over the suggested – via the tv station, which he most watches – the imagination of the world. Then it loses its ability to measure phenomena objectively.

Neither the Internet, nor mobile phones, nor tv service somatic health.

Charles:

What kind of wellness is that?

Maria:

I mean body health! due to the fact that we are psychophysical unity, the psyche affects our health.

Charles:

You've heard quite a few warnings before. And today?

Maria:

Even tiny children have mobile phones, despite the critical remarks of courageous doctors, educators, psychologists.

Charles:

And back to socialism theory?

Maria:

For example, I will mention any of his theories: Marx's theory, Edward Abramowski's theory, Leon Petrażycki's theory, Rosa Luxemburg's views, PPS programs, Trotsky's theory, Mounier's Christian philosopher's theory.

Charles:

Mary, thank you, thank you; I leave all these examples to our readers, while I will return to the basic question contained in the title of our conversation, to which I ask your unequivocal answer...

Maria:

What do you mean?

Charles:

Is freedom truly wanted by everyone? And that concludes our conversation present (because we already have close to 10 pages).

Maria:

Speaking of freedom, interior and external freedoms must be distinguished.

For example, no 1 wants to be imprisoned or restricted in their external freedom, e.g. by the country's occupier. But interior freedom is simply a value valued only by the number of all society. Most like to live by imitating others, subjecting themselves to media pressure, customs, or authority.

Charles:

What precisely is the difference between interior and external freedom?

Maria:

Internal freedom involves work for your own life, making life choices, frequently unaccepted in your own environment. He expresses himself in courageously not adapting to the environment. interior freedom can besides be achieved under conditions of deficiency of external freedom. An example is shaping your own worldview in a way far from moral or political correctness.

Charles:

I have no further questions on this issue, let us leave your statements to our Readers. At the end of today's dialogue, I'm going to ask you to make any further proposals on the subject... for our further discussions.

Maria:

First of all, thank you for the joy of discussing with you. I am glad to think of more and propose the following topics: the collapse of Polish medicine, academic medicine and natural medicine, national micromania, the importance of beautiful literature, the issue of health.

Charles:

All the topics “I buy” and we will undertake them in our next meetings.

Thank you so much for talking to me today! I hope they all appear in the book someday.

Maria:

I want us that!
