We admire each other but we don’t know it
Another way to look at Polish/English relations is this – we admire each other, and want to be like the other one.
When we, Poles look at you, English, we see confidence, gift of speech, diplomacy, self-realization. And we envy those traits in you. We get jealous, and then we try to do something about it – for example by beating into your heads how we are betterrrrr…
From talking to English people I now realize that you have the same feeling. I’ve been told that we look like we have more fun in life, while the English feel like wall-flowers.
Is that the reason why you are so cocky towards us sometimes?
If yes then I can lift your mood up a little – we have always thought that you are awesome.
