Philology was, in one way or another, connected with religion, because it was most studied by ministers of the church. In addition to European philologists, Arab representatives of this profession were under tremendous pressure. Even today, philological sciences are developing only in those countries in which there is no pressure from the authorities. Without philologists, people would be illiterate, because it is teachers in educational institutions who instill a love of literary works, which greatly expands our worldview. And would we be able to write correctly if we had not been taught this at school? That is why philologist's day is so important!

A philologist should be polite and cultured, because it is he who sets an example for his students. The profession of a philologist is in no way dangerous and does not pose a threat to others.

Perhaps that is why many people with philological education devote themselves to creativity: write poems, songs and put their soul into communicating with students.
