Inner voice

Our age is hungry for courage

Courage is the feeling of being deeply grounded in oneself, in one's own values ​​and decisions, so that a person stops feeling fears, doubts and hesitation within himself. This concentration is so deep that it never occurs to us to give it up, neither under internal pressures nor under joint pressures. Although the observer may feel admiration, inspiration or envy, for the actor the act of bravery does not carry any special feeling, it simply arises from harmony with one's own values.

On the spot: Kosovo

Wolf weather in the North

Courage is something that is taken

"Unlike politics, peacebuilding says the following: either we will learn to live with each other or we will forever live against each other.

Fortunately or unfortunately, that regime doesn't ask what those people would like, but someone a little more powerful than them came to their door and said 'Okay, we've played enough, now ya or boo'. And now we live waiting to see if it's ja or boo"

Interview: Jelena Lengold, writer

Fear exists to protect us

"Serbia hardly exists on the world map, let alone Serbian literature. In order for a literature to exist in the world framework, it must be a state project, it must be worked on systematically. And for years, we elected some kind of authorities that saw artists as their enemies.

Then he adds that the later hopes of Victor Hugo about the times in which science will expel the multitude of what constitutes fear, and that political tribunes will be transformed into scientific ones, proved to be in vain. "Anyone who rules through fear serves the devil," says Bishop Grigorije. And the devil is just a scumbag who should be ignored

The Second Blockade of Serbia: The Day After

The "destinies of mercenaries" who "harassed millions of decent citizens" forced President Vučić to say on Saturday that he would order to amend the Law on Expropriation. A man whose power is based on intransigence has at least verbally announced that he will relent. Which leads to the absurdity of his statement "that the street will not determine politics in Serbia" and other things
