يهاجر الناس بسبب تفاقم القلق, بسبب الأحساس المقيت بأنهم مهما عملوا بجدٍ فلن يأتيهم عملهم بنتيجة, وأن مايعمرونه في سنة قد يدمره الأخرون في يوم. بسبب الأحساس بأن المستقبل مقفل, وأنهم و إن دبروا أمورهم ف...
Хората се преселват, защото са изтощени от безпокойство. Заради разяждащото чувство, че колкото и да работят, усилията им няма да бъдат възнаградени, че това, което ще изградят за година, други ще раз...
