RE: Few thoughts by a non-local - Imprinted by LightCaptured
Prohibiting progress in some areas is good for everyone.
I had never thought about it, but it really is true, progress often makes us sick, pollutes, even slows down our personal development, reduces our quality of life - the exact opposite of what it should be and probably intended to be. Many of the things that the developed countries have already given up are still coming to Bulgaria, as something thrown away, leftovers that still need to be used, but there is no place anymore in the countries where people's consciousness is developing 50 years faster than that of the people in Bulgaria. A lot of the so-called developed stuff. So whenever something is trendy or talked about a lot, it's expensive and everyone wants to have it, I always wonder if it won't be denied and rejected in a few years. Like electric cars, for example. The bicycles are a different thing, of course. I think it will never go out of fashion, nor will it be a controversial invention ever.
But of course, in an undeveloped country like Bulgaria, it is dangerous to be a pedestrian, and to be a cyclist is even more dangerous. That's why you're right with your theory about the prosperous society.
These are very special boats, indeed. They are not similar to gondolas, probably some local invention. But are cool because they look touristy and carry tourists in this eco-friendly way. It really is a prosperous society!
Glad that you see what I saw.
True, and I should also add the element of respect.
People respecting and helping each other, that in my opinion, forms a strong and healthy society.
Also a sign of a prosperous one, because when people respect each other and help each other, businesses are good for people too, and not only for bringing profits to the shareholders.
It's a win-win and when more people travel around the world, they see it and try to implement it where they live.
So sooner or later, Bulgaria will be there too, or at least, on that road, hopefully!
Thank you! :)

Well, that's the main issue here in my opinion. There is no respect and no mutual aid upon which to stand the foundation upon which society should be built. Yes, the people who come back, if they come back, are those torchbearers on whose shoulders rests all the hope of the people. But you know, there are also people here like me who have returned from abroad and have been literally crushed again by the terrible reality. I could not bring any torch, rather, I brought one, but it was quickly extinguished. So, not all torches endure and even hope is not that strong. I don't know why now I remember some words of some young Slovenians who had come to visit Bulgaria, I was with them in a disco in the capital when the bartender tried to cheat them on the bill and I will never forget the words of one boy - "is this your way of doing business?" They summed it all up.And I have to tell you that the anger I felt then has not changed until today, things have not changed much. And I don't believe they will change in the next few decades either.

I've seen some progress, but generally, it is almost the same, people change slowly, forty years needed? ;)

Years ago I was told by a foreigner that we are 50 years behind. But I think the years vary on the different issues maybe. In some respects, there may not even be a reach, no matter how many years pass.
