My uncle – THE SPY!

I was less than 6 years old when I met my uncle – “the spy.” It is not a joke at all. My uncle was a communist spy, one of the best communist spies. The photograph! My father was so afraid of him that we met him just a couple of times in my life, and always at the most critical moments. I wished to talk more with my spy uncle before he died, but it wasn’t meant to be.

Let’s name him Петушок because it was his name, associated with a wine name. By the way, why are all spies drinkers? Easy to network, isn’t it?

My uncle had big eyeglasses with black trims. Since then, spies for me have had black eyeglasses trims, lol. So wrong! Only a couple of them had, lol!

But what made him so special was the way he talked with anyone. Calm, few words, and intelligent.

By the way, do you know that there are so many similarities between a spy and a gangster mobster? For it, a well-trained spy could act like a mobster.

He was a big smoker and a big coffee drinker. Turkish coffee always. And he had a passion for photography. Spy photos. With all of his cameras.

I even remember how a manual light for cameras looks like.

THE SPIES listen when others talk! The ordinary citizen will not! Because we are too focus on working for basic needs and too stupid. Intelligent people don’t do hard physical work on a daily basis.

You do it to pay rent, or you do it like mental “suicide”, in a country that appreciates stupidity in people, craziness, and obedience!

“YOU ARE NOT HERE TO THINK! We think for you! You are here TO OBEY! Welcome to COMMUNISM!”

But back to my uncle the spy!

He never told me about his work, never. But one day, the last day when I met him, he told me, “Do you know what I worked before? You MUST BE FREE, EVERY SINGLE DAY OF YOUR LIFE!”

I understood then that he was never free! And never will be! To be a spy is NEVER FREEDOM! Wherever you will be!

I looked at him and asked him to help me get hired! And he did!

But when a spy helps you get hired, you will enter a network of spies, even if you are not one! When you are young, it doesn’t matter.

With one exception: WHEN YOU WANT TO BE FREE!

Everything that a spy touches loses freedom!

For that, never stay close to a spy, ask a spy for help, or help a spy!

Otherwise, you become an ASSET! Or the spy will become YOUR ASSET!

And it is wrong, however you try to explain it!

Петушок – I remember when he gave me one of his cigarettes to smoke and drink together a Turkish coffee, made by my aunty.

And I wished he were alive to ask him THE SECRET!

How and where could WE be alive, free, and happy when WE met SO MANY?

Maybe the coffee addiction is from him!

And the passion for photography too!

But definitely, I DO NOT WANT TO BE A SPY!

People, life, and freedom are much more beautiful!
