Unity in hatred and expectation of a miracle

The hope for a happy ending in the history of the Kota Twix united millions of Russians. They also require reprisals against the conductor. What is wrong with us?

The petition for the dismissal of the conductor who threw the Cat of Twix from the train was signed by more than 380 thousand people. The head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, instructed to conduct an audit on the fact of the death of the animal, they could already have a criminal case on a woman. The head of the federal passenger company on a round table in the State Duma presented the chronology of events, as a result of which Twix was on the street. It seems that users of social networks for the first time in a long time are united in their anger with the Russian security forces, and the security forces willingly support “horizontal anger”. The publicist, poet, owner of the three cats Ivan Davydov, explained about what and what the story with Twix has been taught and taught by Twix.

You were also waiting for a miracle, right? We hoped, monitored the news, tried to believe that the volunteers would find him? Everyone was waiting. The most diverse people were waiting. People who have long have nothing to talk about with each other, people who would not give each other hands, people of various political views and just people. Without certain political views. I so wanted the Kat Twix to return home alive.

He didn’t return, the miracle did not happen, but there were records in social networks made as if under a carbon copy: “They suffer because of some cat there, when ...” These same “when” vary: when the soldiers die at the front and civilians, or also civilians, but on the other side of the front line; when they throw a word in prison and in the cells torture political prisoners; When the Patriarch performs in the Duma with an epoch -making speech about the need to ban abortion. Honestly, and it was , I did not invent.

So, for starters, do not pay attention. Do not enter into disputes with professionals who make a career on righteous anger, and it does not matter at all under which flags. Do not stand nearby, step aside. You can’t convince them, and the rest should be understood - the ability to compassion, the ability to sympathize with anyone can either insult or humiliate and there is nothing disgusting in it. Moreover, the ability and willingness to compass the beast is a sign that a person got out of archaic. That the times in which the beast is primarily a working tool or just food for a person is not his times. The ability and willingness to compass the beast is a sign that along the path of humanity a person has even advanced a little. The beast sympathizes with the one who has already learned to sympathize with the person. Not the other way around.

Turn on the TV: there, in any advertising block, there will be almost certainly a video of the next unfortunate child who needs an urgent operation, and does not have money for the family (which is understandable), and the state does not have money (which is more difficult, although it is also possible - a lot of things that are more necessary for). And you know what? As a rule, the money is. For those who know how to compassion. Both people and animals. But those who masterfully learned to read morality - the time is most often not enough to arrange a donation.

For some reason. I don't even know why.

And one more consideration that seems important here: the authorities are in fashion for talking about the extraordinary unity of the nation (how many signatures in support of Putin have been gathered in the last two minutes - 100 million, 200?), But the country is torn to shreds. To such an extent atomization, the decay of society, we seem to have not yet reached. At least in this new Russia, which from the genus 30 is small. Skillfully produced hatred turns people into embittered loners.

The reader is waiting for rhyme ... In general, you are afraid that I will write that Twix killed the atmosphere of hatred? In vain. Twix killed homeless dogs and frost. But his death said something about hatred.

I will voice a strong hypothesis - there is no request for hate for the widespread masses, but we don’t take noisy, but small groups of professional masters in the calculation. There is a social order, it is important to feel the difference. Hatred is not the first for a decade the state has been full of a decade - skillfully, with a scope, with obsession. But not only the state. Different groups of interests form this very order, and objects for hatred are offered different, but hatred remains hatred. And each person - the most ordinary person - turns into a point of intersection of these multidirectional hatches.

But he cannot and does not want to live like that. The unbearably sad story of the Cat of Twix is ​​just about it. I repeat the most, different people, often - people who hate each other wanted alone. So that he is found alive. They united in anticipation of a miracle. This request is to unite in good.

Hatred, of course, is strong. About this already - hundreds of thousands of signatures demanding to dismiss or even send an unfortunate conductor to prison. A tired, seriously working woman, forced to follow instructions. What to say? Only stupid and naive words are: well, do not. Do not multiply hatred. No need to get involved in an evil game in which justice is necessarily punisha. At least for someone. For the switchman. For the conductor. You can’t correct anything with hatred. You can’t correct anything at all with hatred.

This common thirst for a good miracle and hundreds of volunteers who went to look for a cat, and millions, probably those who followed the actions of volunteers, who waited and hoped, show that we have preserved something like immunity. There is hope for recovery, to exit the evil strip. But the disease is strong, and this is shown by hundreds of thousands of signatures under angry petitions.

It is not “an attempt to demonstrate protest moods in at least some legal and safe way”, according to political scientists, but this is precisely this: the disease is strong, perverted ideas about justice were deeply at the country, hatred in our air has long exceeded the maximum permissible indicators. But she did not win. I haven't won yet. Not quite won, not to the end. Ino will still defeat , as one outstanding master of righteous anger and part -time, the great Russian writer Protopop Avvakum, used to say in the XVII century.

But still all these reasoning are the most ordinary cat. Which was pulled out of the usual comfort, suddenly deprived of love and threw it into ice hell. Ice hell, Dante told us, for traitors. But animals do not know how to betray. This is human talent. Beasts can trust, yes. Not trained.

And this most ordinary cat wandered along the snow towards his terrible death and could not understand why, for what. And there was nothing with him except horror. Only horror and cold.

And you can’t say: “But now Russian Railways will change the rules for transporting animals” or “But now even deputies, from whom we have not been waiting for nothing but horror, are trying to do something human.” The tongue will not turn. Because this, as they say, is not "but." He is a cat, not a fiery revolutionary. He was not going to sacrifice himself for the happiness of the other four -legged. He wanted comfort and love. Just.

And you can really honor his memory not with petitions, not calls to deal with the guilty and not the requirement of car. And just feeding homeless cats on the street. Or donating a little money to some shelter.

While looking for twix, in Kirov they caught another cat, very similar to him. Ordinary street tramp. Now he is treated and trying to find a house for him. Find his man for him. If you can find it, it will be “but”.
