Polyglot 84.From Yosef Litos . A person's life is a moment, but how much trouble. I'm so old and calm... that I wish you happiness |
Mikhail Zhvanetsky
more]The best epitaph to the writer are his texts. In the case of Mikhail Zhvanetsky, no one and nothing can compete with the whipping and witty arguments about life, old age and death.
I won't talk about others, but I grew up in a deadly struggle for existence. Where does this humor come from? Where is its soil? Everywhere - from graduation to admission to the institute. Teachers warned: the guy goes to the medal. I walked, I walked, I walked, then: no, he's Jewish, and somewhere in the 10th grade I stopped going to the medal. Not a damn thing happened — Jew! Then again a Jew, and again a Jew - all the time I stumbled upon it with my forehead, I did not have the most important thing ... I've always said, "Could you live in this country as a Jew?" When I see an anti-Semite, I want to ask, "Are you jealous?" Then they will set fire, then they will not give, then they will offend, then they will crush them altogether. One, another, third - and all the time you swallow, swallow ... Now I'm going to end with the wording: it doesn't matter who you were, it matters who you became.
And how are the Jews? They are in the minority in any country, but in each individual industry in the majority. Take physics — in the majority. Take chess - in the majority. Take science in the majority. And among the population in the minority. Many people cannot understand how this happens, and begin to beat them.
Our man likes to shout: "Our money is with Berezovsky." I keep asking, "Did you have the money?" What is your money from Berezovsky?.. On this feeling is based all anti-Semitism, all Marxism, all hatred that is read between the lines of the writer to the writer.
Anti-Semitism is something very sick... I can't talk about all Jews - they are also different, but, of course, under the onslaught of circumstances, these people have developed unattractive traits for centuries. We must understand that not everything rests on mythology – there are real prerequisites. It came from a specific development from under the floor, from under the heel. So I thought now that the plant crawling through the asphalt and through the cracks has a twisted appearance. Where will his free aristocratic trunk come from? Yes, when you are free, without fear of anything, grow up in England, when you have ancestors, descendants, a castle and several generations stretch upwards, the eye pleases a beautiful tree, and here everything was squeezed out, so you do not need to be offended by the Jews. You just need to understand how the development took place, where this monstrous twisting, quixyness and the desire to crank something in a short period of time came from, until they were caught. And so you run until you grab it, and you have to have time to write and say and do something else, and vanity is unhealthy. In fact, there is nothing to be proud of, and many, so it turns out, nose up: "We are proud ... So many professors, so many academicians, so many composers per capita"... Of course, this irritates other people, offends. We ourselves must be on an equal footing, not to protrude our exclusivity, which, perhaps, does not exist... In Israel, for example, we do not see it, this exclusivity, something – it arises exactly where the oppression was. Don't try to trade it. Not good. I think so.
Jews are different. There are steppe Jews. On the steppe they are carried on horses. There are Southern Jews, Black Sea Jews, they joke everything, they try to do everything allegorically. Two or three languages are often spoken, each with an accent from the previous one. Then they think well. Especially if they make a bomb so that everyone will live the same or not live the same at all. Laboratory Jews are loved, orders are given, prizes and street names in small towns. A laboratory Jew with a terrible surname Nudelman, thanks to firing a gun through a propeller, a bust in Odessa has somewhere in the street. Talent is forgiven to them. They are not forgiven if they live widely in front of everyone.
There are Jewish patients, there are Jewish doctors. Both behave well. Jewish doctors have proven themselves well. Although most of them practice in non-dangerous areas - urology, dentistry. Where they will survive without them. That is, where a person has not one organ, but two, three, thirty-three or suffering in the field of beauty.
Where it is hard for Jews , in parliaments. They begin to seem, and they satan: they say, not for their own sake. But the rest are for their own sake. And who for the sake of all - and looks stupid, and fights with all, and again sticks out at an unacceptable distance alone. In a country that, except for him, no one considers his homeland, he, you see, believes. He wants everyone to be good about her. The area around it is empty. He brightly and juicy marked himself and has long been running alone, and real life is located in a completely different place ...
... And here it is important to calm down and compare your future and not your own. And let fate develop. Accept the place that the people have allocated to you and where they have reconciled with you. If you are a Jew of poster, concert, Passover and holiday - hold on to it. Pronounce all surnames except your own. And anyone who wants to see his name in the news report uttered by Posner should see the distance between Posner and the news. The saddest thing for a Jew is when he is not fighting for himself. He then can't explain for whom to believe. And begins to understand this in old age. And then there are the Jewish children. Very nice. There are Moroccan Jews, very Eastern, with singing long on one string. The diversity of the Jews resembles the diversity of all peoples and so confuses the cards that it is not clear who is from whom and, most importantly, why it happened. German Jews are pedantic. Russian Jews are drunkards and brawlers. English Jews are gentlemen with humor. Yes! Then there is Odessa, one of the homelands of the Jews. And there are Odessa Jews, in any garbage sparkling with humor and fun. A very big request to everyone: not to notice them. Do not suit their popularity. Just use their fruits, but don't curse their roots.
For me, the most frustrating question is: Here you are a Jew, and what do you say? Here's how the note during the concert - is it true that Kuprin said that the Jews ... That's something. Did Kuprin say, write, no, I don't even know, I'm not as erudite. What is there, every Jew in our country is a cultural figure. I get this note at a concert — I get lost. I can't say anything, because this note begins with an insult, it contains an insult. A person who is insulted, he is lost unwillingly - he can not answer in the same way. That's pulling to answer this note with a mat. And I, you see, am trying to avoid that.
I'm so old and calm... that I wish you happiness. Happiness is a chance. I speak as an eyewitness, as a pragmatist. Happiness if they bring you dinner, and you can not tear yourself away from your text. Happiness, when you invent and deepen, and it goes, goes and feels that it is coming. Such a day in the morning, no matter what you undertake. And around the trees, and the sun, and the air smells, and the snow creaks, and you are warmly dressed. Or in the rain, when you're in a raincoat outside and pouring, and you're standing...
Life is short. And you have to be able to. You have to be able to get away from a bad movie. Throw a bad book. To get away from a bad person. There are a lot of them. Things don't quit. Even mediocrity to leave. There are a lot of them. Time is more expensive. It's better to sleep. It's better to eat. It is better to look at the fire, at the child, at the woman, at the water.
Life is short. And only the book is delicate. I took it off the shelf. I looked through. Put. There is no arrogance in it. It doesn't penetrate you. He stands on the shelf, is silent, waits to be taken in warm hands. And it will be revealed. If only that were the case with people. There are a lot of us. You can't look at everybody. Even one. Even his own. Even myself.
Life is short. Something will open up on its own. For something, you will set a rule. There's no time for the rest. There is only one law: leave. throw. run. Slam or not open! In order not to give it a moment assigned to another.
My son will soon be 13 years old. I tell him, "Son! Live by listening to Him!" He is the voice of conscience in you. Have a conscience and do what you want!"
