Rahva väärtused peegelduvad valimiskampaanias

Kuku Raadio küsis täna minult, mida arvan väärtustest, eriti Eesti ühiskonda valitsevatest väärtustest.

Alustuseks tuleb muidugi märkida, et 1 340 127 inimese keskmist väärtuste kogumit on sisuliselt võimatu määratleda. Parimal juhul saab arutleda selle üle, millised väärtused domineerivad ning määravad otsuseid, mida vastu võetakse. Mis need väärtused muud on, kui arusaamine heast ja kurjast.

Mu meelest algab asi pihta sellest, et ühelt poolt oleme Euroopa kõige sekulaarsem rahvas ja teisalt on meil väga vähe ideaale peale isikliku heaolu. Millega muidu seletada juba mitu aastat kestvat Eesti Uue Arengusihi spungi-otsinguid.

Pragmaatilisus ehk kivirähkilik "rehepaplus" ehk eesmärk-pühendab-abinõu-mentaliteet koos mõõduka alalhoidlikkusega on meil aidanud hakkama saada juba üle 5000 aasta suhteliselt keerulistes oludes. Sellele lisaks edasipüüdlikkus ja soov (või oskus?) valitsevaile oludele meelejärele olla (kui on sobiv hetk) on andnud meile näiteks Maailmapanga kokaraamatut järgides ühe tõhusama tervishoiusüsteemi, aga ka ülipüüdliku eurobürokraatia.

Kokkuvõttes on sellist rahvast suhteliselt lihtne valitseda ... mida on ilmselt tänased valitsejad ka ära tabanud. Seetõttu tuleb leppida asjaoluga, et mõne aja pärast hakkame tänavatel, raadiotes ning televiisoris nägema labases vormis, ent ometi Eesti elanike südamesoovidele vastavaid lubadusi...

Igal juhul väärib rahvas oma valitsejaid, mis tähendab seda, et paremate poliitikute saamiseks tuleb alustada ausast vastusest iseendale: mida ma soovin ning mida olen valmis ise andma selle nimel. Seejärel tuleb just seda ka poliitikuilt nõuda ning olla oma nõudmises järjekindel - ka siis kui poliitik midagi muud räägib. Väärtuskasvatus, mis muud!

Mainitud Kuku intervjuus oli veel teemasid, mida Janek Lutsu eestvedamisel arutasime ... aga väärtused ongi huvitav teema arutamiseks. Head väärtuste nädalat!

  1. Good morning, how are you?

    My name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.

    I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.

    For all this, I would ask you one small favor:
    Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Georgia? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Georgia in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:

    Emilio Fernandez Esteban
    Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
    28902 Getafe (Madrid)
    Spain

    If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.

    Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.

    Yours Sincerely

    Emilio Fernandez
