Because only decent people can produce decent people
What can we do to get into Europe? With the “golden fruits” of the Bulgarian land? Well, today most of our fruit is imported from our neighbours… With scamming and cheating? Europeans have much longer and bitterer experience of this. Is this why they are so sensitive to scamming and cheating? The roses were left in the travel bags of Bai Ganiu (Aleko Konstantinov’s most famous picaresque character.) Today, the most appetising and important produce in Rose Valley near Kazanlak, “appetising”, is the Arsenal arms factory. Well then? There remain only the words of Yavorov – “There is no other way we can amaze the world – except as Bulgarians.” For every literate person, this means intelligent Bulgarians. Again I was thinking to myself that until we were trying to attain the wisdom of defining our vision for the future, our pupils were already materialising that vision. In the form of an intellectual product. They leave school and go to study at Princeton and Oxford.
