We, as Albania, are walking in a soft inertia of the tyrannical dictatorship that was overthrown in 1992. The rulers who have passed and are coming are individuals of the dictatorial inertia that has been overthrown.
Often, we suffer more from imagination than from reality.
So Seneca told us.
Imagination often distorts our reality.
I.
Seneca was a Stoic philosopher in Ancient Rome, a very nice statesman, philosopher and statesman in Latin literature. As a philosopher, he was a Stoic and stuck to the strict principles that: the supreme good is to live a virtuous life - and this was the philosophical content of Stoicism, which was also the philosophical current, which he represented.
Virtue, according to Stoicism, means high intelligence, courage, but also justice that you must accept as self-discipline.
But, imagination also creates moral deviation for us when it, as a thought, has a sick individual creation, the desire for rule: while Seneca was one of the first philosophers who told us that only staying in reality will save us from sick imagination.
But what is reality and what is imagination?
Reality is the quality of being true or something that has an actual existence.
Imagination is a mental faculty or mental tendency that forms for us concepts of external objects that are not present to our senses. Imagination creates fantasy, and therefore imagination is a mental tendency that prompts us to create our fantasy. (English Oxford Dictionary)
Therefore, from imagination we pass to fantasy, and fantasy then is all that it creates in our thought: it creates both literature and art, but, as it turns into tangible reality, it also helps scientific thought.
But even dictatorship and tyranny are created by the fantasy of individual rule.
But it is known that, a sick imagination creates a sick fantasy, which no longer corresponds to either morality or reality.

For all that I express, the individual must form an internal balance with justice.
And, our inner balance is virtue, which is essentially a necessity of the level of intelligence. The more perfect the inner balance of the individual, the more intelligent it is in its social content.
This very property stops the tendency towards the personal power of the ruling individual, the disease of the ruler who tends to seek rule, to move from a small social group to a state, when he comes and becomes its head as a king, as prime minister or as president.
He wants power. And this is often a sick imagination that pushes that right to rule by any means.
But the diseased imagination destroys the dignity of man and he is lost in a fantasy of pathological interest, which requires rule by means of a small individual power. And these, in fact, are the dictators.
Such a state of mind, for these types, is their inner freedom that is expressed as limited power, and as violence and national tragedy: this is what these types create when they come to the head of a state power.
Why, don't you know that cruel dictators have been sick individuals who have sought power and false glory to the last degree?
We had one of them here in Albania, forty years in a row. Have you forgotten?
But when you think it's gone.
III.
Every tyrannical state tragedy, even when it collapses, has its own inertia. And this inertia differs from tyranny only in form, because in essence it is the same, because it comes from the absolute power of the one who rules the state.
We, as Albania, are walking in a soft inertia of the tyrannical dictatorship that was overthrown in 1992. The rulers who have passed and are coming are individuals of the dictatorial inertia that has been overthrown.
But these types are scattered everywhere. And their prevention is the duty of every society.
Time changes in kind the tendency to rule, but not the passion for rule, of that individual who has a diseased imagination, and we think that above we have clearly defined what imagination is.
