renunciation [Theme]

To be Ukrainian means: to renounce one's past, to be ashamed of belonging to the Russian people, even of the names "Rus", "Russian", to renounce the traditions of history, to carefully erase all all-Russian idiosyncrasies from oneself and try to imitate the regional "Ukrainian" identity. Ukrainianism is a retreat from the age-old language and culture worked out by all branches of the Russian people and the folk genius, self-transformation into an intertribal cast-off, into a rubdown of Polish or German boots: idolatry before the region, servility to the Polish-Jewish-German socialists, renunciation of the original principles his people, from historical self-awareness, retreat from church and social traditions. Ukrainianism is a disease that can undermine even the strongest national organism, and there is no condemnation that would be enough for this voluntary self-destruction!

I'm getting on in years, and since I know Shakespeare and Mr. Emmons are dead, it's possible that even I might die. The thought of this prompts me to leave the literary field and rest on my laurels. But I am eager to commemorate my renunciation of the literary scepter with some valuable gift to posterity.

Let me repeat that by definition no Bolsheviks had anything to do with the February events. They were at that moment on the sidelines of the political process. All were carried out by parties that operated strictly in the legal field. None of those who made the revolution called for turning the world war into a civil war. On the contrary, they demanded to fight with the supostat until complete victory. And what's the bottom line? We rocked the boat, everything became possible for everyone. "For faith, the tsar and the fatherland" is the slogan of the fighting army. What if the anointed one of God is no more? One man only refused to acknowledge the renunciation - Count Keller. The others were silent. On his head. Officers and employees of the gendarme department began to kill not after October 1917, which then became customary to talk about liberal publicists. They were killed in early March. And they did it very actively. Without any Bolsheviks. The monarchy was brought down by people who sincerely hoped that they would remove the reigning house for a short time, quickly win the war (it is unclear, by the way, why such a conviction), then make a constitutional monarchy, as in Great Britain, or return someone from the Romanovs to the throne. Fatal illusions peculiar to that generation of the Russian intelligentsia, in all its pristine glory! In itself, this model convincingly proves that we have either incurable romantics who did not play in childhood, or people with an absolutely atrophied idea of what is really happening in the country.

Her renunciation and suffering were related to and inextricably intertwined with the denial and suffering of Frodo; both were part of a plan to rehabilitate the condition of the people. Her entreaty thus may have been particularly effective, and her plan became a kind of an equitable exchange.



Explanation of the quote:

About Arwen and her choice.
CIT. j. R. R. Tolkien, "Letters"
Letter 246

What is predestined love, not to reject.

Georgie, they scoffed not your grandfather, and your pathetic attempts to disown him. Here's what you never understood.

The main thing - not to deny themselves, and to draw outward renunciation. To find an object to hate. What does it matter, God or man causing you bodily pain? Still have to think how to live further.

Mysticism teaches that there is wisdom that transcends intellect. Attain it can be by failure, becoming empty. You need to turn away from the physical world and turn to the spiritual world.
Mysticism teaches that there is wisdom inaccessible to the intellect. You can only reach it through surrender, being nothing. Turn away from the physical world and turn toward the spiritual one.

Even the most terrible events can become a breeding ground, if you accept the following:
"I am responsible for what I am".
Then you can turn the greatest misfortune in the step for personal growth. If you take one hundred percent responsibility for what is happening today, there will be a brighter tomorrow.
But if you deny your responsibility for the present and blame it on parents, boyfriend, husband, fiancee or colleagues - it means you have renounced your future.

The only way to get rid of a phenomenon is to look through it. Don't deny - just look through it.

Whatever it is, you are forever bound to the fact of what denied.

I for the sake of the state abandoned their own children. I refused to Murad and Ibrahim. From grandchildren, or what they can't. One grandson will go away, another will come.

I'm not afraid anymore. I languidly.
I'm going slowly into the abyss
And your Russian don't remember
And remember its not want.
And do not speak, trembling
Banal and sweet longing
Field with ears of rye
Birch, haze, lights...

Be fickle-minded than, be legavenue.
If you can't sleep - invent dreams.
Be, if you can, as the star of the evening
So as satisfying as cold.
