Безсмъртна

The people are inseparable from their history, just as a person is from his past. You may meet people without a past somewhere, but there is no people without a history. They live with us and in us - the dead. Those who were not dead during their lifetime, who linked their lives with the fate of the people. Singers sing about them. Earth and sky, beasts and nature pity them. "The world of our dead is richer than the world of our living" - one of our writers wrote some time ago, discovering a truth. The fate of a person is the fate of the people. We work and go to the cinema, listen to the radio and talk on the phone with our loved ones on the other side of the world: we see familiar images on the TV screen, we hear their voices. In our modern everyday life, all this is completely natural and even a little banal. But do we live only with those who are around us? Is history only in museums? No, it has long since left there, it has entered the life and blood of our contemporaries, it is in their thoughts and hearts. Every day - sometimes imperceptibly - we hear voices from the past. The world of our living and the world of our Dead - this is actually one world, the world in which we live. We shake hands with some and talk, work or argue. The others look at us from portraits, stand in our way in the center of large squares and make you go around them, they float like ships, stretch out like streets, they even present themselves to you as the names of shops, cooperatives and football teams. And the cliché definition of publicists that they live with us is not an empty phrase. There is a deep meaning in their immortality. Otherwise, it would be terribly absurd that a turtle at the bottom of the ocean lives 400 years, and a person eight times less!
