Which Way For Armenia?

[man]

Common sense is like a gift inside everyone..well, in true not-in-everyone, rather select few in our present earth that is wobbling toward destruction. How much common sense there is in Armenia? Not for me to answer, let the reader make the input. What I noticed that Armenians there have some traits of craziness due to the slow torture that they were subjected, during long centuries, by the Muslims taking over their lands and life (torturing someone makes him crazy-loco). In response Armenians had to resurface their ingenuity and common sense from their spirits in order to overcome turning totally insane because of Muslim slow torture expanding for centuries.

What is common sense?
--Sound judgment not based on specialized knowledge; native good judgment. And the basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge things.
--As to Aristotle he said: "Common sense is where comparison happens, and this must occur by comparing impressions or symbols or markers of what the specialist senses have perceived. This is therefore also where consciousness [out of our spirits] originates".

Let us study Putin in order to understand this C.S. thing.
Putin when elected TIME magazine's Man-of-Year in 2007 he said: "First and foremost we should be governed by common sense."

Author Gavin Slade wrote in 2006: "In the 1990s Russia’s political discourse was framed in terms of good and evil. There was little compromise or synthesis. The rejection of revolution and change shows that Putin is effectively trying to establish a discourse focused on unity and stability knowing that the binary oppositions of politics during the Yeltsin era had created a situation where the state was unable 'to muster a critical mass of leaders who articulated one or another political discourse that resonated in political society.'"

Sad to say Armenia did not develop beyond this "binary oppositions of politics" (good VS bad) in its politics since independence, and we see today Armenia, in general term speaking, is lacking unity and stability in the political arena. For this same reason I hate to read news of political nature from Armenia.

On the contrary to Armenia, Putin appears to well understand the evolutionary necessity of this third way approach to governance based on common sense-derived synthesis, and leverages that knowledge to promote unity, social cohesion and commonality of purpose on a national and international scale. When Armenia becomes a member of United Costumes of Russia then hopefully she will become a member of this new way governance by Russia and take the path of unity and stability.

If a society like in Armenia is lacking in common sense, how does one propose to govern such a population? Learn from Putin, since the capacity for auto-correction by common sense is built into the natural system of human beings and undoubtedly woven into the very fabric of cosmic existence itself.
The reality is that humans who lack common sense are unable to put themselves in the shoes of others and are kept strapped to the bed of their own egotistical narcissism and selfish pride.

When a community, no matter how small, which is not characterized by delusion but common sense, they can always choose another path and consciously create what you want. They can finally transcend childish dualism as they take a quantum leap into the common sense adult world.

Putin has been directing Russia toward a higher center of meaning outside the plurality of visions and interpretations, by arresting the flow of differences, by constructing a center. At the base of Putin’s policies and as his “third way” lies the idea of a grand transcendence of so many of the conflicts that had both shaped and torn Russia in the modern era. What about you Armenia! See how Putin is challenging the Russians to reclaim their common heritage as intelligent, discerning and consciously evolving individuals in a country of rich heritage and national achievement.

The achievements of Putin’s leadership in the field of economic, impressive as they are, pales in comparison to the raising of individual consciousness en mass in Russia, which is what can happen to a nation when real common sense is applied to governance. That requires rare leadership qualities on a level that few in other countries have experienced in a long while.

What many in the West often fail to comprehend is that when you’re the leader of a 9 time zone wide, 17 million square kilometer (6.6 million sq mi) Eurasian land mass comprised of a wide range of European, Caucasian, Asian and Indigenous cultures, in order to successfully lead and inspire such a diverse group, you must possess the gift of common sense.

When an individual like Vladimir Putin, who both at home and abroad is recognized as having an authentic character, repeatedly demonstrates sane, balanced actions, as he declares the rule of law and common sense governance as the goals of the nation and backs it up with corresponding actions, he naturally enjoys widespread support and trust.

In stark contrast to the West’s current political downward slope, it’s fascinating to observe the progress of Putin in his quest to help instill and nurture a return of common sense to the realm of politics. It makes one hopeful that new leadership possessing similar strength of character will follow President Putin’s lead.

Why Armenians are seeking for greener pastures in foreign shores?

Many reasons have been given except this one. Armenians have lost their vision and without a vision a people perishes. How did this came about? Having a vision is like planting a seed and caring for the plant with love as it grows in a fertile soil, the Communist system did not provide this fertile soil, it obligated the Armenians to live without initiative of their own, without any vision, always dependent on the state to take care of their needs: like providing a secure job, free state healthcare, always a roof on top of their head in low quality housing, and (contaminated) food to fill their bellies with. People were somehow happy then, and even now there are unsanitary longings in Armenia for the old happy Soviet days; people did not know that there is no free "lunch" as the saying goes, they had to pay the price somehow and someday; that price was losing their vision and without a vision a people perishes.

Armenians in Armenia have despaired now from finding again their vision there, they are emigrating in lookout for their lost vision in foreign countries. They know full well that it won't be easy, they are going (except for those who go to Russia) into places different culturally and educationally, where they have to start from scratch facing many hardship and challenges during which some of them regain their lost vision successfully and others die trying.

Is this emigration necessary? It is not. Everyone has the vision inside, they have to look for it inside themselves because the Kingdom of Heaven is inside each person. The problem is nobody is teaching this in Armenia; and as is said in the Bible that if a blind leads other blinds all fall into a ditch. If nobody is restoring the vision to Armenians, they have to go looking for that restoration in foreign lands. Some will not achieve their goal, others will.
