My dear Musing Eurediche was so frighten with my yesterday 'birthday' that tried to confort me with some play. I can say - she succeded. Here is a our interview.
(The Street noice of a big city)
M. E. Excuse me, can you share a few minutes of your valuable time, madam, with me?
P. Yes, but if you are not very proud of your business! (laughing)
E. Hm, all right. I won’t be very. It’s a poll for “An Ideal Husband” program. Are you married?
P. No, I am divorced.
E. Do you, did you intend to be married again?
P. No.
E. But you are so womanly, don’t you really seek for a person you could be together each moment in your life? If anyway you dream of it, what virtues you would expect from your husband and what you could give in return?
P. (pause) OK. I would say the modernity of love life, even virtual, isn’t my fair but I will say. First when you say “I want this and that, because I can give this and that” and “He must, ought to, or be so marvelous if, give this or that’ – in the idea itself of such discussion you agree with some the most incorrect thing existing. When you let yourself such ‘preposition’ you put yourself on one scale whereas on the another there will be not your ‘ideal husband’ – but some another comparing entity. Either being virtual or idealized or simplified but compared and limited led to the bow before another who would bring, could give ‘this or that unthinkable treasures’. You following this path fall into the trap of comparison, to this sin of modernity completely independent from love and having nothing in common with God. With any forms of comparison you are allowed compare your partner within all layers of life and sense. An accepting the formulations you let mislead you with the supposition of an existing some big board where you ‘can’ put your wonderful half, your poor creature with a row of some another people. This is a very bad manner of thinking and acting but alas – people do this… you complete fail in all cases. Such equation, such modeling deprive a person –his/her personality
The socialistic manner of its vicious ‘being’. I could not understand only one thing – how such things can have success in the countries of EC? Comparison is a slant, a bias, a sin produced its other subsidiaries – envy, malice, hate etc. I would say there is nothing is more sinful like this virtual ‘equal rights’ and comparison.
E. Oh I can resume that you are very good at giving reasons why you do not want to speak about you possible marriage… But would you think that a comparison have also its good frame – well, the competition, for example? Eh?
P. I think, comparison is never a challenge or encouragement while the completion might sponsor. In completion the person can reveal his/her talents…
E. In what way?
P. By God’s putting tasks in your everyday life – and more in all dimensions – God by Himself reveals your gifts one by one and you open them all in from of Him. But comparison is settled by people and for their own egoistic purposes – speaking of males the breach of faith often finds its deep roots in the Orestes complex – a desire of the son to kill his mother etc. Well but its already become boring when a matter touches the psychology area I sleep as if the night comes. (Laughing)
E. Don’t like Psychology? Emm me too… but speaking of comparison could you admit that your ‘husband’, well just as an idea, can wait from you some interest in competition?
P. Again, yes, regarding competition I have no objections – but I have against its modern surrogate. In church for instance people are often invited to some groups where the immeasurable love of God discussed – so immeasurable that nearly blur out all distinctions – and stupid people gladly apply this to their private live practice etc.
E. Well, well, well, its just an interview, isn't it? However its so interesting to speak with you – though you are like from the Greek mythology, one of Erinyes? (smiling). Will you let me some another interview some day anyway?
P. Will you come with all editorial staff and free-lance translators with their pocket-size tape recorderes? Feel yourself absolutely free!
E. Oh thank you, thank you ever so much!
Poor Orestes....

No, he didn't.
Yes.
Modernity.
Something indeed is happening with him... I can't understand. Though he always has spoken with me as if I were a newspaper, or a character from his last novel. Bla, bla, bla as usual, but there’s a little light anyway gleams: because we finally start some parleying. Let it be on his circumstances and on his territory, I have no choice, but I see in this fact itself something we could achieve finally. I would say this is almost an ‘open’ dialogue.
