The comprehension of truth through revelation and illumination of darkness is good because such a bright and pleasant event strongly sinks into the memory and is not forgotten. Truth, grasped casually and without theatrical effects, seem to be dreadfully commonplace, something to love, to trust and to remember them is not desirable.
If news makes you wonder, shocks you or annoys you... or even makes you glad, than there's a 99 per cent probability it's all not true or distortion of facts. As real life is full of humdrum things, stability and rationality of its events and there's too little space for wonders. Wondering is an element mostly referred to show and entertainment.
The city… all here is the same and usual everyday and wonderful; like usually all noses are long, and are loudly blown; the same backs bend, the same feet go somewhere and like usually the tongues are long, wearing the same words outward.
And you know, it's rubbish that the king is naked, the queen in a king's clothes - it's her that worries me.
Pawns, knights, bishops and even officers - all this nude crowd put on dresses the king's clothes and now amuse each other singing warbles.
Love is wonderful. They say love is a creation out of nothing, but it is a lie. Rather, this creation comes from very small and ordinary, very inexpensive and ordinary. A perfectly fine man can come out of a sperm, an egg, hundreds of tons of grain, and a couple dozen good books.
Bits of truth are commonplace, and where they are, they are inexpensive. Your task is to buy inexpensive silk, brocade, beads and various fabrics in places where there are many of them and sew them beautiful beautiful dresses... putting the pieces together.
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.
Inside closely, people, like squirrels in a cage, live in the narrow framework of the conventions and patterns as the air they do not have freedom... Any person, tearing of the chain of conventions and templates, they seem amazingly free and beautiful hero. People love heroes. The hero is the one who carries freedom from the shackles of everyday life.
It is possible to eat and it is pleasure, but it is not necessary to look for food tastier. You can dress and it will save from the cold, but do not look for exquisite and beautiful clothes.
Give up the habit of snacking on the run, food should not be commonplace. Food is a celebration, food is a pleasure, food is a reward for good work. He who works eats.
