"I truly believe that if we searched past of all latvian writers ( till 1999 or so, the old ones in case ), they all would have up clear, no drugs, no crimes, history (background ) do you know why? Not because they were most boring persons ever(and they were) , not because they were super geeks ( which they were), but because they worked for super secrete government project. Torturing. They task was to write in such boring and deadly way, that all future non-commies (cumunists) would die, of boredom. I almost did today, I sat there and read, I felt like my brain is killing it`s own cells, just to have some fun.I think hitting my self with a rock would be more pleasure than reading it."
So, why does education system makes us kill our self? Because they have read all latvian literature, therefore they have no brains at all. Why do I have to learn latvian literature, honestly I do not care about it. Now you can say, Jesus, you have to know it you are latvian. But think before you criticize, what is in it for me. Can I or you have a good job in latvia at the moment? No. Can we have in future? Probably. But what to point thing of probabilities when you know for sure, that there always be a better job in USA or UK. Ok, and when the crisis ends, do you really believe that they wont take you at the job, just because you dont know latvian literature? (No, is answer)So I would definatly spend that time (latvian literature) on English, or German, or even math. It would be so much better. "
And this bring me to my next point of today. Why it is obligated to take latvian language exam? And why there is literatue in ir?Because I live in latvian. Yeah right. All those russians, will take it. Its a baby poo, they wont, wake up government. Ok, it`s a possibility that you want to become literatures teacher.You can,if it were up for a chose, not forced.
And if you are interested in latvian literature, you can take it, it should be a subject of choise. And Im saying this as a bookwork, i love to read, not to die. So for sake of mankind. Dont make me lose my brain reading latvian shit. Please.Do our government think that we are stupid as them? Because if I were interested in latvian literature, I would have read till this moment.
And Im begging day after day, please dont makes us (me) read it, plase stop. Please God give common sense to our government. Please.
Ok,I have become to emotional, I will stop now, I have to go and calm my self, and some how regain those cells that died to die, they died in honour to save me. I will probably go and get drunk, and will discuss this topic with my mates.
So, see ya` till my next fucking problem.
Well in high schools in Latvia we have to learn like basics of all subjects. You are just a person which has more of a scientific grasp of things, while there are people which appreciate more of a language use, literature or other things like business.
AtbildētDzēstI for example don't actually mind reading books or poetry and after that just reviewing and discussing topics of our interest related to that book or poem. I find it quite nice and a also a bit challenging. Kind of broadens your thinking.
Also it really depends and it depends ALOT on your personality.
Thats why I mentioned, that we need more classes. More options of choosing subjects that we desire.
AtbildētDzēstAKA proper education system.
AtbildētDzēstHi! It's a good issue you've started - reading, studying the Latvian literature.
AtbildētDzēstUnfortunately, I don't have enough time to do reading in Latvian because of my professional 'craziness' only English, but I'm sure because we are Latvians we should know more about the history of Latvia, art of Latvia, literature of Latvia and etc.
A lot depends on who you meet on your way; on people who inspire to do what you don't see the necessity to do.
If you met a Latvian writer or poet who has Latvia and literature under his/her skin you would be bought into this topic. I absolutely believe in people around us.
Why don't you go to Rigas jaunais teatris to see "Ziedonis un Visums"!
See it and we could go on with chatting on literature, esp. Ziedonis....
