Kosovo has sunk into a deep political primitivism, with fatal consequences, and this situation, for a normal person, should worry him even if it were happening in another corner of the world.
Noise and shallow thoughts, which produce misunderstanding and hatred, have paralyzed normal life, especially in the field of politics, where it seems as if a mental breakdown has occurred.
A lie, against which the erudite Pjetër Bogdani campaigned, with pen and rifle, in the seventeenth century, when Albanians barbarically ruled foreigners.
Today, they have no foreign rulers, but they suffer from internal poverty, ignorance, and a mental fog from which they seek and know how to find a way out.
It's sad to see a country that a few years ago was so devoted to Western democracy, and had a high-class leader like Ibrahim Rugova, who fought for these values unwaveringly, fall prey to a bunch of idiots who rejoice in applauding their mediocrity. These shallow people are dragging our country from a dark season to an even darker season.
Every normal person, who sees these abnormal developments, asks themselves where the roots of this crisis lie, and there is no way to avoid cultural reasons from the answer.
Yes, today's problem in Kosovo is, above all, a deep cultural problem, of an identity crisis that is screaming and shouting, but in the face of which humanity has turned a deaf ear.
It is tragic when a society replaces dialogue with monologue.
Our society has done such a thing.
And so it is in danger of sliding into anarchy. Or has already slid into anarchy.
And when he mentioned the word anarchy, I remember Vangjel Koça, a stalwart, upper-class European thinker who suffered because he saw Albanians in disarray, which is why he said that the Albanian soul has always been anarchist and has not known the idea of the state.
This suffering is experienced today by every person with sensitivity for their country and who has a clear conscience and has not deposited it in a political court.
Of course, this does not include the mentally ill, who do not see their freedom outside the ideological rope of shallow political definitions, which come to life through the culture of shouting and gossip, in coffee shops and teahouses where ignorance abounds.
The great enlightener Vangjel Koça did not caress Albanian incompetence, but rather rebuked it, striking it harshly and mercilessly, seeking the reasons in the tragic historical challenge, and consequently, seeking mental clarity.
Few people in our country today bother with mental clarity; on the contrary, mental confusion, shallowness, and shortness of breath are stimulated and maintained.
Therefore, Kosovo today is a mishmash of confusions and entanglements, a tangle that no one knows the thread of and, unfortunately, few want to find the thread of.
Do you want to know how the world sees us today? - that's what Faik Konica would ask us if he were in Pristina.
He gave the answer a long time ago and I can't take a single word away from it:
"Know that in the eyes of civilized Europe, we are backward, and nothing more; some curse us, some mock us, some feel sorry for us. Give up, I tell you, we have become the scum of the earth. Be silent, lie down, unite. The road that leads to honor, to freedom and to salvation is not paved with flowers, but with thorns; whoever reaches the summit, reaches torn, sweaty, bloody; and when he reaches the summit, he falls dead from exhaustion, but with the awareness that he opened a new path for the people."
