Story telling is apparently something we do at night. Daytime requires something different. Daytime is when we take the message of the story and share it and act upon it. In daytime, we don't want stories. We want clear, concise directions.
Words are interesting.
One advantage of learning foreign languages is that we learn new words and through them learn new things about the world. That combination tells us something not only about how Russians see the world, but teaches us something as well about the sort of world we must have if we would have peace. In English, we have only one word for the first-person singular pronoun. Reflection on both possibilities can teach a bit about relations with others, personal responsibility and attitudes toward society. Like every human being, I have a poignant, and in English inexpressible, feeling of mourning, longing, nostalgia and peace regarding people, places and things in my past that can never be regained.
