How to become Sarmatian

You don’t have to be a genius to see that there are some obvious differences between Sarmatians and westerners. In fact this is why I am bothering to write my blog. I am really passionate about those identities and differences between them. In this post we’ll try to point out the most obvious distinctions.

I think that the basic difference is mobility. We can see that the most of westerners like to live where they are born and don’t see a purpose to go to live abroad. On the other hands Sarmatians are always driven by this wild will to find something new and thus new territories also. And I think all the other essential facts of our identity could be based on this quality. For example Sarmatians are very hospitable and my guess is that it is determined by the fact that by traveling more they are in a grater need of hospitality from the others and thus when they have an opportunity they try to treat others as they would like to be treated themselves. More over Sarmatians are less social or rather less interested in social stuff than westerners. In my opinion this is also determined by the fact that they are traveling all the time and thus are lonely more frequently. This also provokes the fact that they think much more about abstract things, because it is the only thing to be thinking about while traveling alone…

But now let us ask ourselves, can we find an ultimate reason for those differences and more importantly for the basic difference concerning mobility. In fact I think we can. One of the greatest facts influencing this division between westerners and Sarmatians is the language. Slavic and Baltic languages are constructed with declinations while in the west in most of languages relations between words are determined by their order in the sentence. And the most recent research has shown that these two manners of languages influence different parts of our brain. In first case active is the part of the brain that is responsible for automatic activity. While in the second case it is the short-term memory that is triggered. You might ask why that is important. It is important because automatic actions are those like riding a bike or a horse and driving a car. So we could say that Sarmatians have more developed that part of the brain that helps to achieve a greater mobility and so I think that is why we are so different.

That’s that
