Spirit of a man...  Spirit of a man... 

     I believe in human spirit
     Spirit of a man it is something unmeasurable, unfathomable feature of a human which distinguishes human from an animal. Distinct cultures call it differently: soul, inner being, essential being or even motivating force. "Do not look for anything outside the soul - everything is in it," - said once Philaret Drozdov, the most influential figure in the Russian Orthodox Church.
     Since the immemorial our ancestors, constantly were in search of the immaterial matter which they could rely on. Tribes would pray to stones, get instructed by shamans, envision God to ask him for a help. Finally they decided. The best which exists is in themselves - their soul, their faith. Man is created to believe, to believe that there is a chance. We must live, we must love, we must believe.
However, in the battle of human vs. system, the choice is obvious. The structure is a machine which was built up day by day, year into year, decades... Moreover, the interest of a party stand out  as a primary - it is for public benefit. Human spirit can undermine the spirit of system but it will take a longer time & lot of cooperative work.

     P.S.: As a strong supporter of communism, I abstain from the notion that system is constructed to benefit few individuals. It’s more than that...
