Right now 73 are waiting for 25 to see the light, and 25 are waiting for 73 to come to their senses.

A strange feeling: it is as if Poroshenko lost, and with him all of Ukraine, but I do not feel defeated. Because 25% is more than 15% and even 20% according to the Pareto rule. This is called positive dynamics; even despite the fact that people are leaving abroad en masse, those who remain are getting smarter.

The process of forming a mentality, which we all talk about when we mention filthy stairwells and cars parked on playgrounds in a negative context, is a process. And like any process, it requires time. The question is not that we are being deceived or manipulated; people have acted this way and will continue to act this way. The question is immunity. And this is the second positive dynamic. The two groups, 73 and 25, did not want to listen to each other, developing immunity to the opponents' counterarguments.

Right now 73 are waiting for 25 to see the light, and 25 are waiting for 73 to come to their senses. But time will definitely put everything in its place, and in the near future we will learn who was right after all. And the next time, it will be much harder to sell populism.

The smart ones will begin studying economics and management in more detail; the naive and gullible will continue doing what they were doing, but their ranks will thin. The process of transformation is always painful. But there was a simple path: continue doing what had been done and change everything gradually. They wanted it faster; well, if faster, then it is more difficult and with a greater number of sacrifices that could have been avoided.

The ethical problem is that the 25 made their choice in order to make the process easier for their opponents, since they themselves are buckled up and can manage their fate regardless of the presidential election, while the majority of the 73 made the choice exclusively for themselves, because they were tired and could no longer endure. That is, the public versus the personal.

Of course, one cannot average things out and draw parallels when something concerns each person personally; in life not everything is unambiguous. But let us suppose we can use the formula: if you are gullible, then you are unlikely to be managing anyone. Then it turns out that the 25 are the bosses of the 73. And now imagine what these 25 will do with You. No, they will not take revenge or somehow infringe on Your rights, although that thought suggests itself. They will teach, but now more harshly; they will demand more, and there will be more stick than carrot.

If before Zelia appeared everyone was equally in bad shape, and in many questions humanity and pity worked, then in the present that has arrived these qualities have become harmful and dangerous.

Here is the action of the phrase: The people get the government they deserve.

Rays of goodness to everyone!
