The power was taken over by the people, before looking at whom my very nature is flaunting, as to this there is no doubt, and I think that no 1 who looks at these Solidar breaks of ours thinks otherwise. But are they the origin of the problem? Their actions here and now do us all quite a few harm, that's true. But if we are striving to improve the current condition, it is not adequate to diagnose the symptoms, we request to look deeper and find the cause.
When parliamentary elections 2023 were inactive a song of the future, erstwhile they were spoken of in the span of a fewer months, in the media again, first slow and timidly, the face of Donald Tusk began to appear. I leaned on these propaganda treatments, reasoning that people are not so stupid and naive as to take it seriously and look at this man who has been discredited many times as individual who could be again in Polish politics.
However, I miscalculated, the scale of the manipulation and enslavement of Poles exceeded my ideas, and the wood to the oven was applied by the spin-doctors of PiSu, who at any point made a turn and offered no more to voters than the slogans “we are better than Tusk”, “like us, this hopeless Tusk”. Thus, Law and Justice helped Tusk emergence from a political vacuum like a phoenix from ashes.
Where did Donald Tusk come from? He came back from Brussels, and he should have never gone there. Since we do not presently have a main punishment in Poland, he should be held liable in prison for his evil actions against Poland. Why didn't he always get there? Why was there no indictment against him? Why has his ties to Germany never been explained, why has he not been made public, of course, after a thorough investigation, his engagement and the connection to the Smolensk bombing? Why, if the Law and Justice who declared the explanation of everything, had a Sejm, legislature and president since 2015? Despite this, PiS did not explain Smolensk, due to the fact that the explanation ends in punishing the guilty. Who was punished in this case?
Looking deeper into our past - 2010. It would seem that this event will yet awaken us from the safe sleep that the theories of End of history. I remember a period from my childhood where I was convinced of it - since I was taught in school what tragedy the Second planet War was, it means that present people already know what wars are terrible, and no more wars. The logical and sincere reasoning of the child, which many adults, unfortunately, have not given up even today, though they have resented the child’s simplicity, and frequently hatred others who think differently.
In 2010, we were ruled by Donald Tusk, a man from whom we can anticipate nothing good, but there were 37, possibly 38 million people in Poland! Even if adults were 15 million then it was inactive 15 million people capable - at least theoretically - of sound judgement of the situation, analyzing and thinking. And what was that judgment? What was that thinking? At the end of the day, only individuals remember Smolensk, only individuals realize how crucial it was to our failing state.
If we didn't pass the exam in 2010 too, then we should look even further and even earlier. Here, shortening the full analysis to the minimum necessary, I will mention to Rafal Ziemkiewicz's book “Polictwo”. The author writes about the fact that the times of the commune promoted the attitudes of tiny wisemen, career leaders, informers, that is, in 1 word, all that is contrary to the greatness of the spirit, patriotism, what always deserved admiration and appreciation.
If we add planet War II to this and execution Polish elites in Katyn, Auschwitz and so on, we already know what kind of nation we are: we are a nation without elites, a nation in which the most vile attitudes were promoted over the years and as rewarded by the communist strategy spread like weeds. All this was crowned by the fact that we were actually cut off from our past and the creation of a universal impression that Poland started after 1989, erstwhile the commune collapsed. but neither the commune has fallen, nor what was before, has ceased to affect us to this day.
And today? Today, not only do we not have nearly big, crucial figures in our politics and widely understood statehood, but we besides do not remember those on which we could model ourselves to any extent, and on their achievements besides based our pride of being a Pole. Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski, Stefan Banach, Irena Sendlerowa, Kazimierz Nowak, Ignacy Mościcki, Ignacy Paderewski, Stefan Drzewiecki, Artur Rubinstein, Ludwik Hirszfeld, Hilary Koprowski... And many, many others. Is it a coincidence that schools inactive don't teach about them? Is it a coincidence that social consciousness doesn't even want to remember the times they lived in? The memory of the greats was kept by the elite, kept by successive generations of large men.
So present we have no alternate but to rebuild the elite. possibly innate modesty makes us weep that it is not for us to feel unworthy that we have no predisposition. But it doesn't matter, due to the fact that I think that if you are here, dear Reader, and you read this text accompanying me in the interest of Poland, that means that you have this tiny seed in you, from which something large and beautiful may 1 day grow. possibly in you, or possibly you'll grow only a seedling, which will later become rooted in another white - red heart garden. Either way, we gotta effort if we don't want Tusks, Bodnars and Nowacks in power anymore.
Try, but how? I think that large people always have at least 1 thing in common: they demanded of each other. They worked on each another to be More, better, excellent, And they didn't halt at this job. Thanks to this they achieved impossible things, large things, so they reached holiness, if you look at Father Maximilian Kolbe or Fr Jerzy Popieluszko, Primate of the Millennium and many others. So we besides gotta take this occupation from now on, for our own salvation, but besides for Poland to which we owe it. Each 1 of us, regardless of where and who he is now, at what age and at what phase of life (with gratitude for his “Thinkings” I warmly greet Mr. Zbigniew Żak) is, possibly something for the better, even something small.
And we gotta do this work, although it won't be a work for a year or two, just for years or generations, due to the fact that since it's been a long time of destruction, since the changes go back to the roots, then we besides gotta start a long, hard repair. But you gotta start, due to the fact that it's gonna take time anyway. And so we have any effect on the people we're dealing with, even on the ones we pass on the street, which we sit next to on the streetcar. And if so, it is better to have a good, uplifting influence, and to values, than a neuter or destructive influence.
And now - if society has any value on -- for example, 2 points on a ten-degree scale, then the units that have this value on three, 4 points will stand out as outstanding. But if we decision the average to five, possibly six, it'll be easier for individual to get to eight, possibly nine, which will mean a figure that's been outstanding over the years, possibly decades, and that character can do more for the Homeland.
All we have left is our labor. In the various areas of our lives, we must find timeless truths and values, and then stick to them in a cramp and at all costs, without being afraid of loneliness and social ostracism. Yes, we may be completely alone with all this, but at any point Jesus compared his disciples to salt, and salt is added only a little, so we should not anticipate applause and mass imitation. Remember, however, that a drop digs a rock. We must sow grain all day, good grain, and the Lord will give it growth at the right time.
