I was reading today the blog of a Romanian friend, a post on the crisis and the day-to-day possible attitudes towards crisis. Well, to tell the truth, it was a post on despair, on "what can be done", an attitude that have many Romanians nowadays... I don't know if it's a feature on national political culture, like the Russian "shto delat" (что делать, that means "what is to be done"), or something that suits the times of political apathy, but I would define Romania as a country with a deep social depression. As a group, as as individuals, situation and feelings are lively, is just what I says. Kind of despair as a people.
Anyway, my friend offered a pair of options, in question marks, as they're not clear. One of them was: "where can we emmigrate?"
I thought that's a very good example on the Romanian socio-political attitude: as nothing can be done, let's leave the ship and save ourselves.
But she's quite right, isn't she? Where to emmigrate? Not to Spain, this year. Can anyone anywhere leave this ship?
