"Russian village"

 


 In the news there was some info of a Maltan ship called Ruby carrying lots of explosives being about to enter the Baltic Sea via the narrow shallow routes between Danmark and the Scandinavian peninsula. I was left wondering at it. Does the name of the ship "Ruby" give any hint? It means some type of jewel. On the other hand in Swedish "by" means village, and "ro" means in some kind of Swedish type peace but Swedish is often not so comfortable or wise, more like with arrangements still dominating. On the other hand in the Fknnish language "ruumis" means a corpse, it could come from the so pronounced Swedish word "ro" and from the Finnish word "missä?" which means "where?". And then there is the English word "Russian". Since Russians are considered wise or quite wise snd the Swedish not at all wise, the Russians thinking of the whole, have wisdom of lufe and weather skills, Swedish like caring for house indoors like things only, not for the whole, so a Swedish type of village would not work out up to the level of Russians. 

For any group to keep some place, it either needs to be supported by others or be capable of defending themselves well enough, which usually means at least roughly as well as others in the societh, which usually means school level plus own skills backed by following personal motivation in life choices like hobbies, where to live, in which climate and country, what kind of place, what ways of living, profession, job, type of social life, etc. The wiser Russian culture succeeds in such much better than the kind of classifying, rigid, not-so-wise Swedish culture.

 As younger I wanted to move to live close to the nature, but I did not know where in the world it would be. Later I was on some email list ...
