Humble yourself and you will rise. I have known Bagrat for many years. More than 35 years, and I want to tell a story, share with you who he really is. for all those who have doubts…
The Bagratens family had just moved to Yerevan, before that they lived in Gyumri. After coming to Yerevan, Bagrat is admitted to our school, number 156… Even from those years, there was that boyish self-affirmation and attempt to rule not only the boys in the class, but also all those over whom the power would fall. Bagrat was 2 years younger than us, however, you wouldn’t tell from his behavior…
Years passed, it was not possible to break him, oppress and rule him, so to speak. To be honest, I must say that at that time I hated him, because he had already managed to earn a reputation at school, and so to speak, took the crown from me…
Bagrat was very peaceful, calm and never sought to rule over anyone, but you don’t know how, regardless of his will, he managed to pull everyone to his side…
Everything changed when I once had a conflict with high school students. Now I don’t remember what happened and what was the reason, although it was not significant, however, I vividly remember how Bagrat, seeing that I was alone and the others in front of me, 4-5 people, guessing that it was a dispute, quickly approached us.
The situation was such that if it wasn’t for Bagrat, I am sure that I would not have reached home safe and sound that day. For a long time, I considered him as an opponent, even filled with hatred at times, but when the moment came, I realized that I had made a mistake in choosing friends… I must say that after that incident a lot changed in my life…
At first glance, this small incident, this faceless story, actually speaks about a lot. I should specially mention that there is no need to politicize all this. Just seeing the baseless accusations and slanders of some people, I found it right to share my story about him, which I think is telling in itself. Be kind, willing, brave and tolerant. Humble and you will rise. God help us all
