Variothoughts books are a "LEGO–thought" constructor. You have a problem, in the process of reading, adding up the details, you are aware of what to do.
I consciously avoid structuring information too much and putting it into order inside the books of Variothoughts in an attempt to avoid conflict with chaos. If chaos sees a major strengthening of order, it will go all out to break everything down. Where is the good of it for me?
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.
Isaac Babel’s short story Di Grasso clearly illustrates the Zen concept according to which, if a room is dark, all you should do to remedy the situation is to turn the light on. Do what you are most afraid of, and this will instantly transform hell into paradise.
If you want to talk, talk to the book. The book is a great conversationalist, but the book doesn't listen to anyone. Talk to yourself. But how do you hear yourself? And even if you talk to another, it seems to him that he is talking to himself, not hearing you at all.
All you need to know is gathered in one place. You have a chance to gain time if you read this book. The earlier you reach the integrity of reasoning and become one, the earlier you will be able to start doing your job and to achieve good results. Otherwise, you risk running for a long time (maybe, your entire life) like a hamster in its wheel, without any progress or profit.
I realized why only few get smarter reading books. Because books provide theory and a theoretic horse almost doesn't pull. There should be real life practice involved. One should go and make mistakes, fall and rise again. Hence, there should be a practical skill of applying theoretical information. On the other hand, practice is weak without theory. A balance is needed: when any new theory will be proved by practice and the skill of applying it.
Accessing information through books and videos is difficult. To understand something, it`s necessary to feel it. And a person feels up to 70% of information. To feel the information, you need to be physically in the place where the information is located (information node) or next to the person who is the carrier of this information.
Summary: to achieve the power of mind and turn the brain on, you should travel more, communicate with clever people and find a good mentors and teachers.
Books make us kinder as the stronger a person is the fewer fears this person has and it makes this person kinder. Books help to become stronger in mind.
I am not afraid to write the truth, because to understand and accept it requires great strength of mind and spirit, but most people are weak. Moreover, they do not even read books, but eat them. Most people just read "Variothoughts" will not have the strength of mind or spirit, and of those who will master and read, only a few will understand the meaning. So I don't take masks off anyone or anything.
As for certainty of fate, I can say that even book characters live their own lives, regardless of the authors' intention. Of course, the intention is in the head of the creator but anything else depends on a person.
Life's often like this: something that seems awful and boring at first turns out to be quite normal later and something that originally resembles a fairytale and a barrel of honey finally gets spoiled by another barrel of tar.
Beauty is nice. But it's important to remember "The Beauty and the Beast" fairytale. A beauty of a man is, in the first place, hidden in his soul and actions.
Having read the same book, two different people will get totally different thoughts and messages from it. What's more, their impressions will rather depend on their life experience, outlook and mindset than on the book itself.
The message of the book often depends on the personality of its reader. As one likes to see the kind of message one is aimed at seeing.
