Unfortunately, no one has the time or inclination these days for extensive reviews and analytical thoughts. The authorities have ensured this in many ways. The state, with its circles of interests, constantly overloads the citizen's mind with real or fictitious problems, insecurity, and "bleak prospects," aiming for disorientation, fear (a poor advisor), and submission.

More than ever, the state has made simple survival problematic and unnecessarily complex. The citizen has been burdened with a multitude of bureaucratic arrangements, despite so-called technological (electronic) progress. The lines at tax offices and the electricity company's offices are examples. The pace of life has increased, worries have multiplied, values have degenerated, solidarity has drastically decreased, and the citizen's sense of helplessness to react has almost been solidified (the banners as a pretext for resistance), resulting in no room for creative thoughts and their maturation.

Thus, there are some ready-made thoughts that have:

• brevity
• conclusiveness
