The Armenian Way #2
From an Armenian dissident writer, Ara Baliozian.
------------------------------------------
"Some people get drunk on wine,
others on water which they imagine to be wine.
Something similar happens with power,
hence the common phenomenon among losers
that’s known as too-many-chiefs-and-no-Indians."
"A generation of losers will beget generations of underdogs
who will rewrite history and say
their ancestors were not losers
but morally superior metaphysical winners."
"The aim of an Armenian argument
is to slay the opposition. "
"If only we could transfer our love of Mount Ararat on our fellow Armenians. "
"More often than not Armenian friendships
are nothing but conspiracies of hostility."
... and the last for now:
"Life is tough on everyone,
which is why revenge is redundant.
Do what comes easy and let life handle the rough stuff. "
