That sounds so familiar to me lol. From my personal point of view. Many of my compatriots do not see things as tragic as I do, simply because we are all, or almost all, used to the hard life, we were born under communism. Most people I know just pretend they don't see what's going on, or they really don't, or they don't care. At the same time, the population of the country is decreasing. Almost 1/3 live abroad. And while in the past people ran under the fire of bullets, were imprisoned in emigrant camps, swam the ocean, or tried to save themselves in the USA on the Titanic, today the borders, at least for Western Europe, are open and we are all infinitely happy - the braver of us, at least.
There's a scene from the 1942 film Casablanca with a young Bulgarian couple trying to escape to the United States who say: "Things in Bulgaria are very bad. The devil has got people by the throat. We don't want our children to grow up in such a country. "
That says it all accurately and is still adequate to this day.
Yes, emigration is not a solution to the original problem. But... I can't even say that if people unite... Can people unite? At least with us, they can't.
In any case, I admire what you do and the motivation and faith you have. Every nation needs people like you who see some meaning and if there is none - they strive to create it.
