False morality...

There is a kind of public morality that has become fashionable in Albania. The morality of the finger. The one that always points to someone else's house, but never talks about its own yard.

If you look at the Census statistics and compare them with the official data on construction with and without permits, a paradox emerges that deserves serious discussion: a very large proportion of Albanian families own more than one apartment. On average, there are about two apartments per family. There are families with one, there are families with three or four, but the general picture is this.

It's not hard to believe. Just travel around Albania. The informal areas are filled with multi-story buildings. Many of those who built there did not abandon the village or city house they left. They simply added a second one. Then came the wave of construction, apartments sold in bulk, until the market was saturated.

And here the question arises.

How is it possible that we have so many families with two homes and, at the same time, we have thousands of beneficiaries of economic assistance?

Can you be officially considered poor when you own two houses, one of them even two or three stories? By what standard is it justified for citizens' taxes to finance social assistance for someone who owns such wealth?

These are not cynical questions. They are questions about social justice.

Because when the state fails to distinguish poverty from wealth, it does not produce solidarity. It produces farce.

And the farce becomes even more serious when false morality enters the scene.

The "poor" with two houses begin to play the role of moral prosecutor. Others ask: "Why do you have two houses?", "Why do you have a villa?", "Where did you get the money for the villa?"

Legitimate questions. But they apply to everyone.

Then another question arises, just as legitimate: What did you use to build the two houses? What did you use to build the multi-story villa while you are listed as a beneficiary of social assistance?

Don't tell me that you bought a house with your salary that you haven't received for months because the owner of the media has no money to pay you! I can't even accept the logic that you opened a portal and became rich with the dirt you write there, or even with the truths or half-truths that you hit the world.
Don't tell me that your wealth as a politician not in government is more fair than that of someone else, who in the same conditions as you has a more modest villa or house.

Please no!

If you want transparency about someone else's wealth, transparency starts with your own wealth.

This standard should apply to everyone. To the politician, the businessman, the journalist, the public commentator, and the ordinary citizen. No one gains moral immunity just because they shout the loudest.

You cannot build an ethic where someone's villa is evidence of corruption, while your villa is a “social embarrassment.” There cannot be two moral codes, one for those we point the finger at and another for those who keep their finger raised.

The people have said it much more simply: When you eat someone else's chicken, you bind your own in a spell.

Either the rule applies to everyone, or it applies to no one.

If owning a villa is a reason to demand explanations, then explanations should be given by anyone who owns a villa. If it is not a reason, then let the hypocrisy that uses property only as a weapon against the opponent cease.

Morality is not measured by the volume of the accusation, but by the equality of the standard.

Undoubtedly, the morality of laws and politics that stems from this social falsehood is also wrong. The same questions apply to the prosecutor or judge who decides based on this false collective morality.

The falsehood that comes from collective informality cannot do justice. Falsehood produces a foaming oath for the targeted victim and revenge from the foam of collective saliva.

A society where a portion appears poor on paper, lives in villas in reality, and simultaneously gives moral lectures to others is not simply unjust. It is a society that has begun to confuse solidarity with privilege and hypocrisy with virtue.

This is, perhaps, the most disgusting falsehood of all.
