Old man Freud was right

The primary reflexes are the fear, hunger, sexual desires and their non-sexual expression. The Euronews would show live how as a prime minister of Great Britain David Cameron and his wife went outside the Buckingham Palace. The commenter stated, “So no motorcade of motorcyclists will surround his car because from now on they should be guarded.” In one minute the commenter was surprised himself and asked, “And where are the cyclists?” The helicopter, which was filing the ceremony from above, showed how the car of the prime minister of one of the most powerful countries of the world was moving on the streets of London without an escort. It also showed how the prime minister’s care would slow down by yielding one or two passengers, who’d wish to cross the streets on the zebra lines. The bicyclists were overtaking his car without care by even not knowing who’s inside the car. It is hard to tell whether the governance of David Cameron would be as conservative as his party is. In general what human traits does the society expect from its leader? Perhaps they expect what the individual members of the society do not have separately – loyalty to the family, modesty, sincerity. Each member of the society may substantiate his expectations from the leader of the country this way, “Yes I am not a loyal husband (or wife), in some cases I am a liar and a hypocrite but I am not inclining to become a leader of the country.” But what is turning out? It turns out that when getting elected and being moved to the president’s office or the government they direct their energy not where needed. Both international media outlets and the Armenian ones, who excerpt from the international media, considered their duty to allude to the divorce of the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. The reason is that the energy of the Italian premier didn’t reduce at all despite his age. Even a teenage model couldn’t resist his lure. Or maybe vice versa. Berlusconi is also accused of using the services of prostitutes. Judging from the internet comments the Italian society is more inclined to believe in the prime minister’s adventures than the refusal of Berlusconi, who claims that everything was organized by his opponent. The then prime minister of Great Britain Gordon Brown has best showed the smiles and promises given to his voters. But what has happened? Before the elections the prime minister, leader of the labor party Brown got into his car by politely answering the questions of an elderly woman. And by forgetting that the microphone was on he called the woman an “old mad woman;” he cursed her and asked the bodyguards why the woman was allowed to approach him so close. Everybody heard this. After the unprecedented scandal he has personally apologized to this woman. By the way, the woman didn’t forgive him. According to the British experts this story also affected the votes of the labor party. But the whole internet is full with the love adventures. A video was posted on the webpage of the Turkish Vakit, where the leader of the People’s Republican Party Deniz Baikal had a love affair with the member of the same party, hopefully female MP (however the information posted on the website sounds extremely naturalistic. It says that they have had sexual relations). And all this has been filmed with a candid camera. The society didn’t expect anything like this from the opposition party. Baikal submits resignation and meanwhile claims that this was organized by his political opponent, prime minister Erdogan. The latter however, refuses to admit this. Back in the day the former president of the US Bill Clinton emerged in the same story. The president of Israel also doesn’t shine with pure behavior. He is periodically blamed of corruption and amoral behavior. On the threshold of becoming president Sarcozi got divorced in front of the attention of the world. He then married the beautiful Carla Bruni. The media has once or twice adverted to the adventures of the politicians of Armenia and also about their weird habits. But our mentality and “shyness” doesn’t allow us to speak about the evident manias of the well-known people. Several months ago, when the minister of sport and youth resigned, certain information appeared in the media regarding certain shortcomings of the former minister. The party colleagues didn’t publicly deny those. This tiny information was enough for the Armenian society. In fact there was even no necessity to demand additional information. The minister silently left. It is interesting that the western societies are lovers of such stories. There are no publications that would blame the special service officers, who’d walk with candid cameras. Ultimately, no educated and polite person would ever allow himself to look through the keyhole. However, the curiosity of people is so insatiable that doesn’t stop them to know the truth about the moral plummet of people.
