Over our east border for almost 3 yearscontinuesThe war between the Slavs. In Berlin Biden, Scholz, Macron and Starmer discussed the end of this war, but no Poles were invited to the table. Meanwhile, Chris Hann, a British expert in the German Institute of Social Anthropology at Halle, stated that greater could beUkrainian ‘claims to parts of Polish Carpathians than to Crimea or DonbassIt’s okay. ”
It's hard to pretend we don't care. So we should fight? I'm sure. Who? They're telling us Russia. Let's hear it: All indications are that we are the generation that will stand up for our country with a gun. And I'm not going to lose this war either. We will win it, come back and proceed to build Poland (...) Don't you have the impression that this sounds like a 1939 quote from Marshal Blade-Rydz? Remember that chorus about "not giving up a button"? Unfortunately, it is not historical memories, but the ghastly chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army, General Wiesław Kukuła.
Maybe the general knows more; possibly he has a peculiar sense of any kind of mission; possibly he's driven by emotions, or possibly he's just following orders... After all, everyone has a commander over him – even an admiral at sea is only “the second after God.” And I perversely thought that possibly to this Wiesi, born at the ft of Jasna Góra, possibly he meant the fading religion in Poland... This relativism, which spreads around the planet like fire, and Pope Francis, alternatively of extinguishing it with holy water, adds the world's oil. And possibly the intrigue is that if we go into war, the Poles will come back to the faith... due to the fact that in war, as those who experienced it say, there are no non-believers...
Before there were buttons left after the murdered in Katyn, Polish prisoners were imprisoned in Kozielsk camp, where they prayed together all evening. This is mentioned by the judgement of Divine Providence by the survivor, Stanisław Swianiewicz:
People of various religions and worldviews – Catholics, Orthodoxes, Protestants, Jews, free-thinkers plunged within these fewer minutes into their own same and, through their own soul, sought contact with what constitutes the most crucial content of all existence.
Recently, as part of a workshop with actors, I returned to “Antigona” and thus to 1 of the views of the story about the Labdakid family. The number of disasters that affected the offspring of the founder of Thebes, Lajos, is overwhelming. fewer under the burden of literary “beautiful evil” see the illusion of what is to be the apparent explanation of all human destiny in ancient dramas. Of course, fate, fate. Well, as we can today, so the heroes of Sophocles could avoid all these plasticly described disasters: murders, betrayals, patrimony, self-harm, incest, hatred, suicide, depression, abrupt death, failure of reason. This amount of bastardity and crime is nothing but a consequence of human pride driven by pagan belief in prophecy and fortune-telling. And just due to the fact that this major sin, this condition, which is pride, invariably succumbs, the tragedies of 2 and a half 1000 years ago are inactive staged and nothing is lost on its actuality.
When Antigon's enraged apostasy accuses his sister Isman of cowardice, she tries to explain to her the foolishness of "rebellion" towards King Creon, and besides ambiguity, for after all, the unburied brother of Polinejek betrayed the country with a desire for individual revenge and brought enemies upon him, which ended in war and the death of Polinejek himself and his brother Eteokl, who stood up for his homeland.
Finally, brothers in 1 day's sun
They accept each another and murderous hand
One man’s death is severe...
Ismena's heroic message demonstrates the cognition and knowing of the planet (not to say – politics), and is besides filled with love for her sister. It's a unique literary material for an actor creating this character on stage.
The resulting discipline could besides service us if it were not for “mythology” which has led us by the nose for generations and the heroism commands us to consider heroism. I think that Gen. Kukuła, as well as most Poles, if he knows Sophocles' drama, is only on the 1 hand. But heroic virtues specify themselves by faithfulness to their beliefs, even to the grave, and this Antigone female denied committing suicide before carrying out a judgement she declared she was not afraid of (Antigon: “Then I will die with pride”). And you had to perceive to Ismena: “The vain opposition is inconsiderateIt’s okay. ”
If we are seriously considering the sense of Polish uprisings against invaders and occupiers; if we see abroad inspirations in them, and the effects of our rabbles, as the past has shown, served hostile interests, it may be worth taking seriously the saying that "history is simply a life teacher” and behind the Cicerones regular say that “Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat itIt’s okay. ”
