AI Искусство: You: Mr. Gulliver, what do you think will happen now between Lilliput and Blefuscu? Will the peace last? Gulliver: Ah, my dear friend, I very much doubt it. The Lilliputians are too proud, and the Blefuscudians too wary. Though a truce reigns for now, the roots of their rivalry—however absurd—run deep. You: But isn’t it absurd that it all started over how to break an egg? How can such a detail justify a war? Gulliver: That is precisely the point, sir: the politics of little men are often built on great foolishness. In truth, many real-world conflicts are born of trifles disguised as principles. You: And after your intervention, did no one try to seriously negotiate peace? Gulliver: They did, yes. Blefuscu sent ambassadors, and Lilliput agreed to a truce—but only to buy time. I wonder: is it true peace, or merely a pause? You: If you had stayed, could you have done something to change things? Gulliver: Perhaps. But my refusal to conquer Blefuscu made me an enemy of the court. What good is my presence, if I’m used only as a weapon? You: What if the people of Lilliput and Blefuscu could meet freely? Talk to each other? Gulliver: That would be a fine beginning. But those in power fear free thought more than any foreign enemy. What’s needed is cultural change, not just diplomacy. You: So, in your view, it’s more a problem of power than of ideals? Gulliver: Precisely. Their so-called ideals are just pretexts. The true conflict is always between those who wish to rule and those who refuse to be ruled.
