Usually, these commandments have always touched and made me laugh, but it seems now they have become relevant for many of us - in quarantine, you forget about the rush and begin to appreciate life and communication with people close to you. So, friends, let's learn from Montenegrins how to enjoy life - for this they came up with 10 commandments that will help us with this:
1. A person is born already tired and lives to rest.
2. Love your bed as yourself.
3. Rest during the day so that you can sleep peacefully at night.
4. Don't work - work kills.
5. If you see someone resting, help him.
6. Don't do today what you can do tomorrow.
7. Do less than you can, and what you can't - throw it on someone else.
8. Salvation in coolness - no one has died from rest yet!
9. Labor brings sickness; don't die young.
10. When you want to work, sit down, wait, the desire will pass.
And one more commandment Bonus:
If you see someone eating and drinking, join in, and if someone is working, move away and don't interfere.
And you know, Montenegrins really secretly follow these rules - they are never in a hurry and always find time to go to their favorite cafe in the morning before work and have a cup of coffee (and sometimes a glass of brandy!), Discuss the latest news, read a newspaper.
They know how to enjoy life and enjoy the usual little things, because they have learned to be content with little. What is the most important thing for a Montenegrin? This is your own home, several children (at least two) and healthy parents. They do not pursue a career, do not disappear at work for 20 hours a day; in their life, everything is even - work, home and, of course, rest.
Of course, this is not particularly felt on the coast, because. after all, there are a lot of foreigners here, mixed marriages, and work is usually in full swing here. But one has only to agree with a Montenegrin about some kind of work, and the Montenegrin desire for relaxation is revealed in all its glory - he may be very late or not come at all on the appointed day. Market conditions, of course, are now slowly eradicating this Montenegrin feature, because more efficient foreigners are appearing - the same Albanians, Bosnians, Macedonians, Russians.
But now, under the conditions of quarantine and curfew on weekends, one big and bold “POLACO” operates for everyone - “slowly, slowly, quietly.”
