READ A BOOK NOT TO READ A CASE

When the Attorney General announced to the National Assembly that he
did not have time to address the parliament earlier to indict Hakob
Hakobyan because one case followed the other, the society laughed
at this statement for a long time. But if we try to imagine this
situation, horror will replace laughter. Whenever a case is brought
against a figure of the Armenian government, an entire chain of cases
opens up, which means that the system of government is buried in
nepotism, corruption and crime. And it is not only Hakob Hakobyan's
case that leads to such a conclusion. The case of the murder of
Shahen Hovasapyan, the chief of the department of investigations of
the State Tax Agency is vivid evidence too. After that the picture
of relations within the State Tax Agency began to outline. Nepotism,
businesses. It became clear that drivers have an important role in
the system of government, they can solve problems, act as mediators.
Of course, all this is clear to every citizen of the Republic of
Armenia, but it is not revealed that soon because the officials in
particular and the system in general tend to hide carefully this
reality to avoid public criticism and to appear law-abiding. But as
soon as they appear in a difficult situation, they prefer to reveal
phenomena, having very little in common with the law and order, which
in this case can be used as an alibi. This concerns every high-ranking
official having hundreds of charges behind their back, because they
believes that a person either lives or works as a librarian.
They were taught this when they were young, when their fathers worked
as heads of building companies, and their sons thought that if a
library were a good thing, the building company would have a library.
And the question occurs why they fear the library so much. The answer
is clear. They think that reading is a way of spending one's free time,
and it is not a way of making money. And since they were taught to
make money out of everything, even their free time, they think that
the book is a punishment. In other words, they associate the library
with the prison, where there is nothing to do, no way of making money,
and one has but to read.
It would be worthwhile to explain to them that the book is not a
shame, and is not even dangerous for health. Only one needs to read
carefully. If you do not feel the effect after reading once, do not
worry, read twice, in a loud voice, thus the body will communicate
with the book more easily. Start with small books, three times
a day, before meals, because you lie after meals, and lying and
reading damages the eyesight. If you again do not feel the effect,
consult librarians. Do not be afraid, they are healthy people, and
most importantly, they are not vindictive and will gladly help you
to understand where you must start reading a book.
Do not be afraid if people around you laugh at you. The one laughs
who does not laugh in prison. Also do not be afraid of financial
problems. Books will cost you several thousand drams, but on the
other hand, it is not as expensive as the gifts to give each other on
birthdays, weddings and even at lunch. Therefore, the money spent on
books will not crack your budget. Even if you appear in a difficult
situation, it is possible to offer a public demand to the government
to exempt every official who spends money on two pages a month on
average from the profit tax or the water bill for a year. Thereby,
buying books will not only open up for you the aspects of life which
are not fit for chewing, but will also legalize your avoidance to pay
the profit tax and the water bill. Oh yes, only do not forget to read
the book after buying it, and for God's sake, do not be lazy and open
the book before reading it.
