When you judge, you say, " This is good and this is bad. This is useful, and this is useless." Your mistake is that you don't know that 1% of light needs 99% of darkness. Concentrated poison is very dangerous, useful should be diluted with useless.
The pleasures in any form should be treated very carefully and their reception should be dosed. Pleasures are good in small quantities, but the slightest overkill turns them into a deadly poison.
Pride is a poison that kills, but in small quantities it is life and medicine-the Holy Grail. Pride in a small amount is free will and human reason. Too much pride is depression, rejection of love, anger, suffering, and a complete set of all other deadly sins.
Humility is the realization that beauty is poison in large quantities. Restraint is the ability to close your eyes when you see beauty. You can't look at beauty for a long time, an excess of pleasure will quickly turn into pain.
The question is not what kind of drug you have... the question is that you are an addict, and the meaning of your life is the search for pleasure. Yesterday you found pleasure in one, today in another, tomorrow you will find it in a third… It doesn't change anything. You need to realize that pleasure itself is a poison that can only be used in very moderate amounts.
What does the drug do? It seems to speed up time, allowing you to concentrate the mosaic of being and see the whole beauty divided in time. Concentrated beauty is joyous, but it creates an emotional overdose. It was not for nothing that it was divided. Beauty in small quantities is medicine, but in large quantities it is poison.
Everything is God. There is only one entity, which is poison and medicine. By dividing this essence into more and less, you create pride and love. By dividing the entities in half, you create harmony. However, experienced people say that the harmonic division occurs along the Golden section.
A barrel of honey with a spoonful of tar in it is honest, and honesty is beautiful. The more horrible the vice, the more honest it all looks. The barrel of honey is a syrupy lie, and lies are not beautiful. Pure tar deprived of honey is snake venom - the incarnation of pure evil and vice.
I wondered what was the difference between Lolita Nabokov and Bread and salt. Why is one ugly and the other beautiful. I realized that they are distinguished by lies. Lolita is a lie that hides its Vice, and salt does not hide the fact that it is a poison in large quantities. There is another version that "lolita" heroes didn't keep a sense of proportion and overdone, but this is all speculation.
When in psyche accumulates too many poison - need to cry. You can still shout, to have a fit of hysterics, or binge on sugar. Yes, it's true, all sorts of Goodies-a good cure for mental poison.
The verity and truth usually hurt a lot. They can shatter illusions and silly hopes. And the fragments of them hurt people. Lies and delusions are much nicer. Mistaking the wish for the reality brings peace and pleasure. One hears what one wants to hear and they tell one what one likes. One is happy about it. Yes, you got me right, that's exactly what I wanted to say: - Lie is a source of happiness and truth is a source of pain. The water is poisonous in the source of sweet lies, while the source of bitter truth has healing water.
Any remedy usually tastes unpleasantly. Of course, it's possible to sweeten it but as is known, sugar is bad for teeth and especially for children. While poison is usually disguised so that it's hard to recognize it by taste. As it usually seems to be yummy and a victim may joyfully swallow it without noticing anything.
A book is not only a friend to a person but also an enemy. A book may easily turn out to be a poison or rotten product. There's hardly anything else that can destroy human brain as quickly as a book poisonous with stupidity or evil thoughts. And it's immature minds that poisonous books affect most. Strong minds can always distinguish poison from normal food while others may get poisoned.
Pills are bitter and unpleasant for being swallowed when something hurts. Extra pain brings no joy. However, if one puts up with the taste, pills will probably nip a Worm of the disease in the bud.
But there is one great threat - a pill can easily turn into poison. It's not only a Worm of the disease that dies of the pill but also lots of useful creatures as well. It's easy to choose wrong pills. As pills are a dangerous thing.
So what's to be done? - an ill reader may ask me. It's obvious: visit a good doctor.
The doctor who can heal your soul... Self-treatment can hardly bring any health. As self-treatment only makes a disease chronical and worsens its course, giving complications and side effects.
A doctor... a doctor... a doctor... a doctor... a doctor... To find a doctor.
Books "Variothoughts" is a medicine against lies, pride, fear and all other deadly sins. The fire of truth is a terrible poison for flies, moths, and other midges.
By joining two poisons, you may obtain one medicine. A minus and a minus make a plus. Likewise, you can take any two problems and make something very useful and good out of them.
Sugar, like any other drug, requires a constant dose increase, it causes addiction and then quickly destroys human`s health.
*
Sugar, also known as fructose, is a pretty strong poison and a drug that is addictive and destroys the organism. Sugar does not cause satiety, it provokes hunger. It causes apathy, mood swings, breakdown and reduction in the vital activity effectiveness in a long period of time.
But, like any poison, in small doses sugar is a medicine.
The inflationary model of the economy is bad in the sense that it kills the main immune system of the economy - the savings and savings of citizens. The savings rate is falling. To save and accumulate money in terms of inflation unprofitable. This state of Affairs has a devastating effect on the formation of investment capital, increases investment risks, destroys the middle class and leads to impoverishment of a large part of society.
In addition, this state of Affairs is detrimental to the morale of society, destroys faith in the future and does not allow it to plan. In society, anxiety increases, people begin to live one day, realizing that all planning for the future is meaningless. Of course, large manufacturers and retail chains (at a time) it is beneficial. This situation provokes demand for goods and services of daily demand, while reducing competition in the market, washing out small and medium-sized businesses. But in the long term, the impoverishment of the bulk of society leads to a systemic decline in demand and negatively for all market participants.
The inflationary model of the economy is beneficial only in the short and medium term for big business and the state (the largest Corporation of all). However, it has a devastating effect on small and medium-sized businesses, the middle class and the household savings rate, thereby destroying the healthiest economic forces of society. There is a violation of the economic balance. Society is getting poorer, economic elites are getting richer. This state of Affairs resembles the development of cancer in the patient. Indeed, the cancer is effective, the body is hard to defeat such a super-efficient and strong monster.
However, like any poison, 0.5-1.5% inflation is quite life-giving for the economy.
Pleasure is the reward for a good deed, relaxation after exertion. Pleasure without a good cause is a terrible poison and drug. Anyone who offers you pleasure for nothing makes you a drug addict.
Lemons, you make a cure. By concentrating, you create poison. If you need life, dissipate your efforts by forming horizontal growth. If you need a breakthrough in reality and a hole in the ceiling to rush up to find a new ecological niche for horizontal growth, then concentrate your efforts. Concentration will give the effort extreme toxicity and the ability to penetrate space.
In a barrel of honey with a spoonful of tar, honey is the solvent and tar the medicine. This very aroma of beauty is poison in larger quantities and a medicine and beauty in small ones.
