Ukraine at a crossroads. Notes by the Prime Minister (№ 422664)

...... a population that, swallowing from the media of misinformation, naively believes that in order for life to improve, it must first be seriously worsened. And then even a minor change for the better will be perceived as a victory. Just like in
a well-known anecdote about the father of the family, who came to the sage and complains: "We live in a one-room apartment with five, two families, cramped, difficult." The sage advises him to get a dog and settle it with them. The father of the family does not understand, but the sage advises, so it is necessary to do. Life becomes even more unbearable. The father again goes to the sage. He listened and advised to have a goat: they say, you will drink milk. And again the father of the family listens to the advice. Life becomes quite unbearable. Again you have to go to the sage. He wonders how so - all the advice is not for the future? Well, then try to give someone a goat. The father of the sage's family listened, did as he said. A week later, a joyful person comes to him and says: "They gave the goat - it became great to live, the only thing that interferes is the dog. At night he gawk, he does not let him sleep." The sage listened to him and again advised: "Well, if the dog interferes with sleep, give it to someone." They gave the dog away. And the family healed happily. The wife baked the cake and said to her husband: "Take the cake to the sage, thanks to his advice we finally healed well and happily. If it were not for his wisdom, we would have suffered for the rest of our lives." Unfortunately, this is what is happening in our country. Instead of living with our minds, we live as someone else's. And life, if you look at it with a sober look, is getting worse and worse. It's time to give someone both a "goat" and a "dog". The only question is: who will take them?
