philosophy

Seriously... how can anyone not love their homeland? Pearl, I don't understand people like you. You're like our oligarchs and those in power – they only care about their own comfort, about making as much money as possible for themselves and their families, and they don't care what happens to the country. Their main goal is to ensure that Russia doesn't fall apart before the time they need it to. They're like rats on a sinking ship – they'll run away to another country as soon as they sense danger, taking everything they can with them. It's not a pity that they'll run away; it's a pity what they'll take with them. You shouldn't run away from problems; you should solve them. Things aren't easy in our country right now, but that doesn't mean we should give up and run away to save our lives in a place where life is better.
