To tolerate people like Ballist

To tolerate people like Ballist

In fact, he can neither be imprisoned, extradited, nor tolerated! This is serious. However, from morning to evening, people complain to each other, drink lots of raki, inhale kilograms of carbon from the endless cigarettes that are being smoked, they sink into ignorance and sin and complain about Ballist.

Not just about Ballist Morina, the guy whom they turned into a “symbol of the nation”, but about anyone belonging to this category. I would like to remind you the emblematic wise expression which is used in each café, each wedding and in each funeral. The wisdom consists on: “Why are we in this situation?! Our entire life we have said “the idiot should be tolerated”.

Tolerate Ballist too. I am against his imprisonment and the imprisonment of anyone else like him, but why should we tolerate them? I see many people that glorify him…

I have a question for these nationalists: Would they put this Ballist man as leader of their nation? Would anyone make him their son in law or brother in law? Would anyone invite him in his villa for holiday? Would anyone accept to become like Ballist? Because one may easily do one or two stupid things to become like Ballist. Yesterday and two days ago, people have taken to the streets of Tirana and have “protested” in favor of Ballist. This crowd must also be writing on social media.

But what do they want? For Ballist to be tolerated?

Why is this happening?

1.

I’m afraid that what’s happening is what happened on the 16th century, meaning that insanity casts a spell. We have plenty of cases in our human history when insanity has turned into a cult. In Gjirokastra we have the “Alleyway of the Insane”, we have the “Ship of the Insane”, “We have Margo of the Insane”, we have “The Dance of the Insane”…  Ballist’s insanity was praised so much in the Balkans that it caused turmoil. Insanity can once again be treated as a hierarchy by imprisoning Ballist. At the end of the day, insanity has always requested hierarchy, imprisonment and attention. When Europe let the insane out of prison, it started to liberate itself from evil. Because (unfortunately I’m going back to him), what did Ballist do more than an insanity: He took a drone, climbed up a tree or a church, pressed a button and flew the drone over Belgrade’s stadium and ruined a football match between two nations. We need to blame those who have “tolerated” him since October 2014.

Insanity is “easy” to be absorbed by anyone. This makes the disappearance of values an easier process. Knowledge is gained not through insanity, but through the opposite. But it’s easier to obtain “knowledge” by Ballist as a category. He has created a weird map, different to the true map of our Fatherland (and different by the so called Ethnic Albania) and has amazed many people with his “knowledge”. He has even included in the map a region of Montenegro which has never been part of Albania and where there are no Albanians. This has amazed people. With this “knowledge”, Ballist Morina has in fact denigrated the Albanian nation, but they rejoice about the fact that he has denigrated Serbs and Montenegrins. The Albanian nation has created a new “map” with a black background, with the symbol that that is scaring the Glob and which is called Islamic State.

This is the “knowledge” that for many, it’s easier to absorb this way rather than think a little.

Here’s what happens by tolerating… Philosopher Michel Faucalut has written that “insanity is better than savageness”. Because “insanity puts a spell, it represents knowledge”. But the irony of the scientists is against the crowd which is impatiently waiting to obtain knowledge. But those who are amazed by insanity are guilty, the philosopher says. They merely ruin their future. “At the beginning, they are amazed, then they will be amazed once more, then they take pleasure and in the end, they have nothing in their mind, but insanity”, Faucault writes.

Let us go back to the expression “tolerate the idiot”. The idiot is never guilty; I don’t know why Croatia and Belgrade want to imprison Ballist! Nations with values do not bother the neighbors. On the contrary, they display their virtue. We, Albanians, have rightly been proud of the fact that we have never declared war to the neighbors, but even neighbors have not attacked us. This is the value. People like Ballist attempt to ruin this historical value and we tolerate him, as if he represented the value. Then he provokes with your national symbol. You allow him to tarnish the flag, to deform the map, to paint a worthless state and to compare you to a monster creature such as ISIS. Why? Because he’s acting “against the Serbs”. This is how evil enters from the window of nationalism.

Then he provokes the law. The law is now a “nation”, because we live in the era of a state and the state is national. He holds one or two illegal guns in the stadium. And you allow him to pass because he’s a “Ballist”. What about those who are not like Ballist? Should they keep a gun without permit? Should they threaten peace? Should they kill us? Yes, it appears so. Have we tolerated him? Then there’s no room for the Value…
