Incredulously Watching the Sink

  My feelings towards the USA are extremely conflicting... Actually they are deep ambivalent because I can't come to terms with the growing visceral sense of disgusted disbelief!  ​I once deeply esteemed the States for their perceived inner freedom. Substantially, this freedom, is not because they are innately better than us in Europe, but because they do not carry the weight of such a long and heavy past. Europe’s history, full of glories and immense brutality, burdens us. This history has made us cautious, clinging firmly to the experienced beneficial path. Consequently, truly radical change—daring to leap into the "completely out of the blue" —is often a rare or impossible choice. ​Not so in the States. This capacity to dare is why they achieve scientific discoveries that might take Europe an eternity to reach. ​And yet, this blessed capacity to dare, however, is two-edged.

At any cost?

You wanted to win at any cost. You needed to win... And so you embraced any lie, any nasty, malign, evil-minded deed, fraud, betrayal... in order to be triumphant!

And eventually you succeeded. And yet your triumph had already begun to badly smell, far before you reached your personal victory. But you couldn't let it go.

Giving up meant losing face, your respectable reputation, revealing to the whole world your real petty falsehood... And you could not do it: because you always present yourself as a vassal of an honour, which, in reality, you have never known. A small petty thief since your childhood. 

A German saying states: "Was Hänschen nicht lernt, lernt Hans nimmermehr!": if someone doesn't learn something at a young age, he won't ever learn it! Sooo true! 

And here you are now victorious, indeed. 
While I realised I was embarking in a long war. I had all the rights and the proper papers to demonstrate them. But at what price? I have a good life, I have all I need, now. Why embitter my existence dealing with such a cheap thug like you and ruin my life?

This in any case was going to be a Pyrrhic victory. And I preferred to concede you this achievement. Because a Pyrrhic victory, in spite of the success, in reality it cries out the deep moral failure that one has undergone to reach it. 

Life will take care of you. And karma will ask you for the bill with interest!
