Ştefan ODOBLEJA jr.: The Destiny of a Visionar Phisician Doctor Ştefan Odobleja … 113
- The social school estimates socializing the goods and abolishes the individual
property. It is the school of public functions for all human beings, the humanity
uniformization, equity for all life conditions, standarding the humanity (the socialeconomic
ethics). It is a democratic school, to indoctrinate everybody. The social ideal
is the one estimated by the majority, by poor, by unfortunate etc;
- The ideal of love, of brotherhood, solidarity, altruism, equity. For the rich people it is
a subversive school/current trying to undermine the state order: a revolutionary and
reforming school, utopist and undoable;
- The dictatorship of the majority - complex anomaly: dictatorship of ignorant, lazy, the
dictatorship of mediocrity. Any socialist system can be achieved only in a world state
mixed race, language, customs, traditions, habits. For now, this homogeneity is far
from being achieved - if ever - the current state of humanity, on the one hand and
science on the other hand, socialism is destined to fail.
The history confirms that, whatever Dr. Ştefan Odobleja predicted in 1939 became real in
1989, but we shall see at what costs he paid this prediction.
Notes
1 We should mention that the high school „Traian " was one of the most famous in the country,
counting among its former students many personalities like: Stef Milcu, Serban Cioculescu, Iovit
Popescu, Ionescu Şişeşti, who became members of the Romanian Academy.
2 who died of typhus during World War I.
3 With personal contributions, Theodor Costescu, former deputee of Mehedinti, built the Palace of
Culture in Turnu Severin, inspired by La Scala of Milan. Having the support of his brother-inlaw
I.C. Bibicescu, he donated both to the Palace of Culture and the town Library, which later
became the Library Bibicescu.
4 He used to relax swimming, being a good swimmer, getting the,, prana "- the cosmic energy
which developed his emulation.
5 With whom he had three children: Stefan (n.1947), Milena (n.1948 who died at baptism) and
Dumitru (n.1949).
6 I want to describe the life spent in the country at that time dominated by the Stalinist terror (1947
- 1960):
Not yet taken the measure of dispossession of peasants from their carts and horses gear, and
although they still endured private property, there were collective works of plowing, digging,
weeding, harvest, threshing, corn harvesting, to which were snapped with young at vignard
harvest. In the village there was a rich cultural activity carried out by the school teacher, they
sang in the choir and the village teacher was ranking the performances. There were celebrated
with much importance and many festivities took part for the Holidays of Florii, Easter,
Christmas and St. Mary at which all sons of the village took part. What Stefan Odobleja
predicted began to appear among the personalities of the village, who were the priest, the
teacher, five policemen as there was a border area, and in the forests around the village appeared
a partisan named Trocan, which became legendary in the area and my father knew. At the
community center started the meetings where you were obliged to attend, my father used to take
me with him, it was interesting for me to observe the party activists combing their hair before
speaking. Many party activists were recruited among the villagers, especially those who had a
„healthy origin”. The first activist was Vasile Hoarca, he was named like that because he used to
get drunk and slept in ditches gasping. Once they made him a party member, he used to walk
around the village and patronized everybody: "Doctor, if you will not clean the ditch you will
have to deal with me! Father/Priest if you don’t whiten the chandeliers, it will be bad for you!”
