Politics and Fairy Tales


I remember my parents and grandparents watching TV in the living room every night. I also remember that my siblings and I always wanted them to air fairy tales, children\’s movies, and other things that would entertain us. We told ourselves that watching a nice, soothing fairy tale would entertain us and help us sleep better. Unfortunately, however, it didn\’t always work. My parents followed politics. And the worst part was that they then started showing various political debates and other political programs on TV, which my parents watched.

Politika je všude jiná.

And there was not one but two political programs. I was very distressed. And the siblings. We lost two episodes of fairy tales. There were always three 10-minute cartoons, and it was always in the evening, so I could only watch one 10-minute cartoon. That was very troubling. But in the end, I felt sorry for my grandmother. So she bought me an old TV. Then we could watch more, and we loved it.

Politika musí snášet všechno.

But there may be many people who are so caught up in politics that they don\’t look to the right or left, or pay attention to the needs of others. I know someone like my neighbor. He divorced his partner, my neighbor. He liked one political party and she rather liked another. These two parties were in competition with each other. It is reasonable for someone who is immersed in politics and political parties and supports that party to be upset that the person closest to him, his wife, supports another party. Do you think it is appropriate to divorce someone just because he or she supports another political party?
