No one wants to be responsible for truth - ex-official 

ArmInfo. "We're brilliant at giving advice, but catastrophically poor at taking action, which is why the bell keeps hanging in the air," writes David Ananyan, former chairman of the RA State Revenue Committee, on his Facebook account. 

"We, as a people, seem born to give advice. We feel like we must  constantly 'correct' each other, 'remind' each other how to behave,  how to speak, how to walk. This feeling is written in black lettering  in our DNA. You are always wise, and your opponent is inevitably  immature and lost. We are not a civil society, but a national 'guild  of consultants.' As soon as someone voices a new initiative, an army  of hundreds of wise experts immediately appears: 'You should join  so-and-so,' 'You shouldn't seem like that person,' 'You should sound  bolder,' 'You should speak more convincingly.' In short, everyone  becomes a giant of thought, like in the famous cartoon: everyone  speaks, but no one hangs up the bell," Ananyan noted.

He noted that against this backdrop, someone appears who dares to  declare that they are ready to hang up that bell. Not to be just  another public speaker, but to do something to unite and bring inner  peace.

"From this moment on, a true national sport begins - the consulting  marathon. The stream of advice is so thick that the main idea is  drowned out. This is where the most vulnerable aspect of our  political culture becomes apparent. We all want to speak the truth,  but no one wants to take responsibility for it. We all want to sit in  the role of advisor, but shift the real work onto others. The result  is a nation of advisors without work. A sea of advice without a  navigator. Yes, we are brilliant at giving advice, but  catastrophically poor at taking action. That's why the bell keeps  hanging in the air," the former head of the State Revenue Committee  wrote.
