The Mask of Civilization and the Fragility of Morality

  Although modern society teaches us ethics, empathy, and respect for other people's property, these values often seem to be just a thin layer of varnish over our primary nature. In stable times, this "mask of civilization" holds up, as the system provides us with security and predictability. But when the foundations are shaken — be it an economic crisis, political instability, or personal failure — the line between mine and yours begins to blur. The problem arises when the illegal becomes socially acceptable, if only it is "inventive" enough. In the modern world, theft no longer occurs simply through breaking into a store, but through complex financial fraud, circumvention of laws, and exploitation of systemic loopholes. This "white collar" form of illegality may be less brutal than physical destruction, but it is essentially the same: it involves the appropriation of other people's labor for the sake of one's own greed.

Civilizacijska maska in krhkost morale

  Čeprav nas sodobna družba uči etike, empatije in spoštovanja tuje lastnine, se zdi, da so te vrednote pogosto le tanek sloj laka čez našo primarno naravo. V stabilnih časih ta "civilizacijska maska" drži, saj nam sistem zagotavlja varnost in predvidljivost. Ko pa se temelji zamajejo — pa naj gre za gospodarsko krizo, politično nestabilnost ali osebni neuspeh — se meja med mojim in tvojim začne zamegljevati. Problem nastane, ko nelegalno postane družbeno sprejemljivo, če je le dovolj "iznajdljivo". V sodobnem svetu se kraja ne dogaja več le z vlomom v trgovino, temveč s kompleksnimi finančnimi malverzacijami, izigravanjem zakonov in izkoriščanjem sistemskih lukenj. Ta "beli ovratnik" nelegalnosti je morda manj surov kot fizično uničevanje, a je v svojem bistvu enak: gre za prisvajanje tujega truda zaradi lastnega pohlepa. Digitalna doba in razosebljanje dobrin Novi časi prinašajo tudi nove oblike plenilskega nagona. Digitalni svet je ustvaril distanco med...

I'll come when I come

  I'll come when I come is very often associated with you being always available to me. In any case, this saying is often wrapped up in the inability to plan in terms of time. Of course, this also means that such a person does not expect that time or time planning exists for you. You are always available. Being always available when someone who comes when he comes to you means that you will have a hard time planning your obligations. Each of us certainly has other obligations in addition to other plans, which we then have to plan and postpone indefinitely for the sake of the person who comes when he comes. The only plan we can still make with such company is then waiting for the person who comes when he comes. A practical example of this is a joint lunch. You can heat up the dish or leave it somewhere warm, but such a dish will definitely not be in the same condition as it was freshly prepared. Another way to resolve this undefined arrival time for lunch is to just hope that such a...
