False story of Reconciliation

The more months and years have passed since the Smolensk tragedy, the more frequently there are opinions that in these tragic days in April 2010 Poles were united, Poland was 1 community. any politicians who are associated with the right side of the political scene besides express specified opinions.

It's very dangerous and fundamentally false theories. Dangerous, due to the fact that they may lead to the conclusion that divisions, demolition of the community later occurred, that as a consequence of attempts to search the fact about what happened, that the consequence of cultivating the memory of those who died, that as a consequence of commemorating this tragedy by building monuments and organizing anniversary celebrations. They may lead to the conclusion that if concrete sarcophagus were poured over what happened on April 10, 2010, as on the destroyed Chernobyl reactor, and we were effectively isolated from collective memory, then Poles would inactive be united, and Poland was 1 large community.

It's dangerous, harmful, but mostly false theories. Let us look at people from today's total, aggressive opposition, look at actors and celebrities who teach us what Poland is to be, look at those who shout on the street "smoke ...", "smoke in churches", "fuck ... PiS", look at our friends, neighbors, coworkers or even household members who are spreading false theories, contrary to the laws of physics and common sense. Let us look at these people and answer the question: did anyone see them then, in April 2010 in Krakowskie Przedmieście in Warsaw ? Did anyone see tears in their eyes and foreheads pain in their hearts? I haven't. But I saw people who, on the day of the mourning Holy Mass, sat in Krakowskie Przedmieście in cafed gardens, drank coffee and beer, enjoyed life, their lives. I was reminded of the texts of historians describing the year 1920 and thestage of the Warsaw Battle. erstwhile the destiny of Poland and Europe decided at Radzymin and in the fields of Ossów, the alleged “Warsaw” besides sat in Krakowskie Przedmieście in cafe gardens. They may not have expected the peculiar hope of the Russian invaders, but they were completely indifferent to who would regulation Poland, who would regulation them, so that they would not require any effort from them, and much little any dedication to the Homeland.

After the Smolensk tragedy in April 2010, Poland was not a single community. It was not due to political, economic, or spiritual divisions. If these divisions were decisive, they would besides be in despair or at least awe of the coffins of their representatives. It is hard to require from individual who did not realize and did not accept the policy of prof. Lech Kaczyński to last profoundly his dramatic death. Although he was the president of Poland, Poles would anticipate any reflection. But under Smolensk politicians and parliamentarians of all options, clergy of all religions, died. Why those who do not accept the policy of PiSu do not cultivate the memory of their representatives, the candidate of the left to the Office of president Jerzy Szmajdziński, the MPs of Isabella Jaruga-Nowacka, Jolanta Szymanek-Deresz, the large hope of liberals will send the Civic Platform Sebastian Karpiniku or the president of the Polish Olympic Committee Piotr Nurowski. It is impossible to mention all of them, but the list of participants in this tragic flight from opposition groups to PiSu is long. Why don't they cultivate their memories, why don't they put them monuments, call them patrons of the streets or schools? Why don't they respond to information about desecrating the bodies of their representatives, their loved ones? Why?

They do not, due to the fact that what truly makes us different are not political, economic, or spiritual views. The difference between us is sensitivity. Sensitivity to suffering, to death, to the destiny of another man. They don't have this sensitivity, for them, the death of individual in their group is just the closure of a chapter. It's over. due to the fact that for them, it's just here and now. They do not have this sensitivity and did not have it in April 2010. They were drinking coffee and beer in cafe gardens, they were indifferent. Therefore, the claim that then, after the Smolensk tragedy, Poland was a community, is simply a false myth. And it was not Smolensk who divided us, Smolensk only opened old, untwinned wounds. We were divided by our submission to enemies and occupiers, divided by the Link. It was then that part of society lost its sensitivity. She lost her sensitivity, issuing or accepting without any opposition the death sentences on specified people as Witold Pilecki, she lost her sensitivity by carrying out these sentences and burying the remains of those murdered in nameless pits. To bury in the nameless mass graves, they buried their own memory, buried their own sensitivity. And the deficiency of this sensitivity was passed on to their children and grandchildren.

It was sensitivity that divided us, which is why the division is so great. So large that the poet wrote in his poems that “What divided us—it would no longer stick.” And creating false myths of reconciliation will not change that fact.
