Freedom  of  choosing  pleasures  is  the  most  important  one.  As  doing  something  that  brings  pleasure  means  being  free. 

To stop being afraid of death and life, you have to realize that everything is for the best... For this I recommend you read Candide, Voltaire. Everything in this life is ordinary, especially suffering.

I can't eat a bite, Candide said, shoving the meat into his mouth piece by piece.

In Voltaire's Candide, in the wonderful country of El Dorado, the carts were drawn by sheep, why do you think?

Candide teaches us that, despite all the stupidity and adversity of the world, optimism can save us.

Voltaire teaches us that there is nothing to fear, including the non-fulfillment of our desires.  All vanity of vanities.  All our losses, gains, greatness, power, happiness, passions, desires and dreams, fears and pain, all this is ephemeral, coming and going.

As Walter said, taking up a pen is like going to war.  Therefore, the book "Variothoughts" is a book of war.  Life is war.

Reading  Voltaire's Candida, I noticed that those who said "Everything is for the best," and those who said that everything is for the worst, died, and the main character did not say anything, but accepted life as it is, coming to terms with it.  The main character survived, the rest all died in terrible agony.

When choosing a lesser evil, remember that size is not important for evil, it will kill you anyway.  The point of choosing the lesser evil is to stretch time.  Stretching time can give you a chance to escape.

If you ask something from someone, you have to agree with him and recognize it as truth, that is, reality.  

The meaning of the statement that everything is for the best is not to breed demagoguery, but to let go of problems and tragedies, protecting yourself from resentment, self-pity and pity.  When something terrible happens, it is useful to reduce the importance of these events and treat everything as an inevitable providence of God.

The problem with philosophers is that they talk too much about the good, and do little real activity.

If you want someone  to save, you must be prepared for the fact that you can only save what you love and be ready to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the one you love.  Any act of salvation is an act of self-sacrifice.  And if you save good people, then both of you will be saved.  If you save bad people, then evil will survive, and you will be sacrificed.  If the good will  to save evil, then good will perish, sacrificing itself so that evil will live and multiply.

The good is tricky.  Goodness seeks to help everyone.  If the good helps the good, then it somehow unites and becomes stronger.  So that the good does not become too strong and does not turn into evil, there is a system of protection.  If good tries to help evil, then good will sacrifice itself and be destroyed, and evil will continue to live and prosper.  The attempt of good to subjugate evil with its good will not lead to success.  I call this situation – a scythe found on a stone.

The ideal is fragile as gold  the testicle.  To destroy the ideal, one small random mouse with a tail is enough.  The mouse will not even notice the ideal, will run past, accidentally touch it with its tail and destroy the priceless treasure, sending it straight to hell, where it belongs.

I noticed that there is not much difference between bad, good and best.  All these entities are constantly changing places and reborn into each other.  It seems to you that good things happen, and then it becomes bad.  It seems to you that bad things happen, and then it leads to bad things.  However, in general, all paths lead through hell to heaven, if you do not stop.

Everything is the same, I don't see much difference between good and bad.  A person will either learn to enjoy everything that is, or nothing will save his joy.  At the same time, if you know how to make fire from what is available, then any division into bad and good loses its meaning.

Don't judge.  About what?  About the future.  The future is uncertain.  The past  also, do not judge, because by definition it is true, which means it is good and true.  The present, too, for many reasons, is not desirable to judge.

The sin is not only in the one who talks too much, but also in the one who listens too much.

Lucky, it happens, in different ways.  Sometimes you'll be lucky if they just beat you up instead of killing you.

Any choice in the long and medium term can lead to anything, so thinking too much while trying to choose the best is a waste of time.  Moreover, the bad tends to grow for the better, and the best degrade into the bad.

Injustice is when a mouse ran, waved its tail, and the idol came to an end.  And all this happened completely by accident.  The idol was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but the thirst for vice led him there.

No need to brag about how badly you live.  However, how well you live, you also don't need to brag.

The inferiority complex makes a person think too much about his greatness.  People like to fantasize about themselves as kings and aristocrats.  All these stories are very similar to fairy tales.

If you believe the savior, you will fall into hell, and you will endlessly howl at the moon there.

The choice downstream is correct and necessary, but this does not mean that it will be trouble-free.  Any choice leads to hell.  Another question is that going with the flow, you may overcome it faster.

Here she is, a female idol.  I have noticed that anyone who covets power over her, deceives her or harms her, inevitably falls into hell and nothing can save the unfortunate.  However, the one who loves her selflessly will be protected by her.

The devil uses the power of his enemy against him.  In this sense, the devil is like a vampire sucking the power out of his enemies.  The devil defeats his enemies with their own weapons.  The stronger your weapon, the easier it will be for the devil to take it and use it against you.  On the other hand, the devil likes to destroy extremes with the other extreme.  He crushes the big with the small, the small crushes the big.  The devil is diverse.

A man says how strong he is – he will be beaten.  A man says how rich he is, he will be bankrupted.  A man says what a star he is - he will be humiliated.  And so it is in everything.

Unexpected very strong joy can very quickly degenerate into a fully expected tragedy.  In joy, a person is able to say some terrible stupidity that will cause a catastrophe.  Ideality creates a situation of a princess on a pea, and a pea is capable of the most terrible.

I see how a series of various problems and catastrophes drives a person like a carrot in the direction of a carrot, that is, forces him to follow the true path, fulfilling his mission in life.  The whip drives a man to the promised land.

I noticed that a crime against one law is a feat in the name of another law.  I see a crime here is a feat there.  A feat here is a crime there.

Try to watch yourself.  Your intolerance and contempt for people will not bring you to good, you may even be killed or beaten.  Pride precedes an accidental and unexpected fall. 

After visiting the country of El Dorado, I realized that the ideal is not as joyful as it might seem.  More  Moreover, everything that generates an ideal is an illusion, and nothing can be taken from the land of El Dorado to the real world.

They get into El Dorado by accident when they are moving along the road to hell, in the direction of a false goal.

I noticed that everything is fine in El Dorado, but there is no love there and it's boring.  Therefore, a person runs away from paradise, pursuing his love.  In El Dorado, that is, in paradise, there is no love.

Contemplating El Dorado, I noticed that this is some kind of fake and illusory country.  This is some kind of nonsense and a lie.  I think we need to escape from El Dorado as soon as possible before the illusion drops its masks.  And I also noticed that nothing can be taken from El Dorado to the real world.

I noticed that at first a person is tested by fire and water, this is hell.  After going through hell, a person goes to heaven.  Paradise is a test of copper pipes.  The point is to leave paradise and move on.  It is very difficult to reject the temptations of paradise.

The test of fire is the test of fear.  The water test is a test of painful waiting, uncertainty, darkness, lack of time, air, money, etc.  The test of copper pipes is the temptation of the Garden of Eden and the fairyland of El Dorado.

We go to heaven through hell, however, paradise is not the end point.  It's good to be in paradise, so it's unbearable to live in paradise.  Through the denial of hell and heaven, man comes to the truth, which is reality.

The machinations of Satan lead a person first to hell, and then to heaven.  God's providence, denying hell and heaven, leads a person to reality.

For one broken two broken give.  Because the bat has already pacified pride, and the smug, pride-obsessed creature still needs to be beaten and beaten to make a man out of him.  Thus, a beaten person is a value-added product.

Beats means loves.  God, who is love, loves people and therefore beats them, pacifying their pride.  Pride is a source of suffering, leading to destruction.  Beating and teaching is the only way to pacify pride and save the human soul.

El Dorado, aka paradise lost, and in general, what is called ideal and paradise is actually hell.  The perfect devil built an idyll and called it paradise.  Everything in such a paradise is perfect, except that there is no love and it is dreary.

When they say that everything is good and bad at the same time, they mean that everything is intertwined like a Gordian knot.

A series of bad and good events generates movement, which is life.  Life is good.

Too much sweetness for some generates too much suffering for others.  At the same time, by itself, too much sweetness generates toothaches, depression and hormonal problems.

We clearly see that resistance to the system is a dislike of it, which generates inattention and an attempt to escape.  All this creates huge problems.

A person suffers  from their inattention, carelessness, laziness, relaxation, ignorance, etc.  All these are signs of the absence of love.  Love is attention, concentration, action, cognition, etc.  Pride is the absence of love, and there is no other reason for suffering except pride.

If everything is the devil, lies, suffering and evil, then relativity disappears.  The contrasting background disappears and it becomes possible to fulfill the commandment "Do not judge."  All of the above is identical with the statement "Everything is God, truth, joy and goodness!"
