RE: Abuzz in the bonnet

It has been 30 years since communism collapsed, but the mental consequences are still being felt even today

I think it will take a few more generations to move the sentiment completely, but to what, who knows these days.

Sort:  

Oh the old generations is keep perpetuating a wrong model of education, giving their children the same concept of looking at life. Those children are now 30 -40 years old and spread it to their future children. I assume it will wash away so slowly, like a stain of ink from a white cloth. I wonder how to replace that cloth without throwing the baby out of the water. This is an old wound of Romania, the old mentality filled with ghosts of the past

I think there are many suffering similar wounds. Finland still is largely driven by fear of Russia attacking, with billions spent to make people feel safe - but it doesn't actually add security.

Ohh this need for security sounds like the perfect excuse for authorities to do all sorts of stuff. Including spending lots of money. Pretty convenient
