Kabanova's case. Their own and strangers

I personally did not know Alexei Kabanov, whose business is now discussing all of Russia. Although, judging by the number of common freeds, if it were not for almost complete indifference to collective feasts in popular places. Therefore, I will not say anything about the crime itself, but only about the often encountered reaction to him, who also did not know any of the participants personally.

The reaction is about this: “God, as possible, this person read with us the same books, protested against the same injustices, praised the same films, scolded the same scoundrels, went to the same rallies. That is - by all signs - this should be a good person. " “You see, this is who goes to these rallies,” the opposite part seized smartly, “scold for the cruelty of the cops, for the hypocrisy of the Duma, for the cynicism of the president, and themselves. Yes, cops are lambs compared. "

Well, what can I say? The baby asked in childhood what is good and what is bad, but since then she forgot. He only remembers that hail and rain are not very good, complains about Moscow weather. And the rest in the last year I am observing the loss of not somewhat available in enlightenment, but the simplest, under the feet of lying criteria for distinguishing good and evil. I'm talking about the fact that "once I went with us, it means that it should be good." And for others, respectively, good - who did not go, and if he went to this filthy anti -Russian swamp, then bad, which finally revealed deservedly.

Why should it be? What is the connection? The isotherm is not there at all. Together with the political awakening of the last year, a substitution occurred, which was difficult to avoid (although it was necessary to try). We began to judge whether a person is good or bad, to bring him closer or move him away from himself, according to his political views. And not even by views, but by reactions to a set of loud stimuli. He laughed at the patriarch's watch, went to Sakharov and Boulevards - good. He did not go, did not laugh, especially since he went the wrong way - bad. He condemned Putin’s return - an excellent friend and a wonderful family man, did not condemn - children, home, otherwise you will get bad.

And then do not stop. I went with Abramovich and Yumashev to the beach - bad. He sat with us in the "Mayak", the department was detached - good. He visited the duty protocol event at the American embassy - betrayed his homeland, mother, wife, Rus' and friends. Pindos is scolding - a wonderful person, now I’ll give him the keys to the house. And here is the Siberian, the brave special forces of the GRU and - all over - the patriot scored his girlfriend to death and arranged her search over the Internet.

Over the past year, I have read a large number of posts filled with pride in the pride that good people do not communicate with those and those who communicate - he can slas it on suspicion. And on the other side-no better. To go out with white ribbons, write liberal texts, do not consider America a big satan, but Nemtsov with a small demon, to sympathize with the wrong ladies in the hoods - this is how one of my conservative friends expressed in my hearts, "to what depths of the human fall should be reached."

Yes, to no one. I always thought that the depth of human fall is not about ribbons, and not about texts, and not about radio programs. I thought, the depth of the human fall - if I stabbed someone, deceived, borrowed and did not give it away, slandered the innocent, beat the weak, wished my wife, ox or a donkey of his neighbor, and I got it, while the neighbor was surrounded.

I came across this oddity before last year’s political awakening. My good friend from a freedom-loving university environment was sincerely surprised that political scientist Gleb Pavlovsky with all his might helped the younger colleague Vadim Tsymbursky, a former philologist-antichist who switched to studying the modern world from antiquity. “How is it,” a university friend could not understand, “Pavlovsky, he is with power, he also promoted“ Edin Russia ”and Putin. And he behaved so decent. " From this surprise, it turned out that a person who agreed to work in Putin could not wish for his neighbor, and to do good - and even more so. Relatives stopped talking with my other university comrade after he spoke on Putin on Facebook and even went to the bow.

A thing that always seemed obvious suddenly fell out of the field of view of smart people. There is no direct connection between the political economic views of man and his human qualities. Especially when we are not talking about some kind of impregnated ideology of superhuman hatred of the regime, but about the so-so inspection. Good and bad is not about how to equip Russia. Not about who for Putin and who is against furry farming. For example, I, apparently, do not mind (animal husbandry), but how many people in Europe will not give me hands for this?

A person of the most correct democratic and progressive, most liberal, freedom -loving, environmental beliefs can be a capricious homemade tyrant, a tormentor of loved ones, an incorrect friend, an inept hysterical boss, a noisy neighbor, a gossip, not to notice someone else's need and rude to the servants. Many Russian democrats of the 19th century, ascetics of progress, ascetics of free thought, from Chernyshevsky to Lenin, were difficult to endure in life, which they proved, having come to power.

And the same on the other side. Patriots, sovereigns, conservatives, shepherds and archpastors, monks and hieromonks, deputies of the Duma, arguing about God, tsar, the fatherland, the greatness of Russia, the fall of America, morality, the bonds of marriage, spiritual brackets, reins, clamps and other harnesses, in relation to close and random encounter, can be local villains, greedy, greedy, greedy With gluttons, slanderers, small deceivers, pouting whips, alcoholics, Pharisees, who are not ready to wear on others, talking about good and hating half the world, starting from the next room.

And they may not be. In a very same way, both of them can be beautiful, remarkable, selfless, sensitive and kind, like a Christmas Dickens and pilot named after St. Exupery. Save life, adopt a child, help out with money. Do not leave lonely aging parents. Forget about duty, shelter, arrange for work. Forgive betrayal, give the keys to the apartment, feed, console. Find a doctor, attach to the hospital, help with moving. Distribute to the stupid decision of the authorities.

And they can also be beautiful in one case, and in the other - not very. Once, give the keys, and in another, the same, not to give. And then regret. This is generally most often.

Good and bad - this is not about who reacts to the news. Otherwise, the logic of the sect is true: not good, but your own. Evil is not what you think about power, and when you act with another different than you would like to do with you. Everything has been written for a long time. On business. Although, of course, "he accepts things, he welcomes intentions, and praises his proposals." But more. And not statuses, not demotivators, not tapes, not candles, not godparents, not bow. Good and bad-this is about what is the neighbor and not very neighboring, depending on you, your honesty, your decisions, and just a random counterclaim, and not about politics . Well, now you can safely disperse to your like -minded people, rejoice in mutual agreement and fight for the future of Russia.
