Book: Revival

On the way home I remembered the ancient stories - you might also have heard about how to boil a frog. Put it in cold water, and then begin to warm. If you do it gradually, the frog will never realize that you have to jump. Don't know whether it is true, but, in my opinion, the best metaphors to describe aging is not found.

Frightened people live in their own hell. You could say they create it themselves <...>, but I can't do anything about it. So they arranged for it and deserve sympathy and compassion.

The most interesting interviewers in the world - in psychiatric hospitals.

I think that gratitude for life, anyway, for whatever reason, indicates that the person is able to keep the core of common sense.

So could say either a madman or completely reliant on something people.

- Almost all my life bounced from one another, like billiard balls, but it will be over soon. By the end of July - at the latest by mid - August- we finally leave.
In this he was right. So help him God.
Assuming of course that It exists.

Search bree convinced me of the rightness of the words of Fox Mulder: the truth is out there, and in our time, when almost all of us live in a glass house, it is possible to find using a computer connected to the Internet.

- You tell the crowd that your wife and son drowned. Why are you lying? I don't understand what it gives.
- They don't deserve the truth. You called them a mob, and it is very accurate. They have cast aside the mind - and many of them have the brains, and very good - and bought into the stories of a giant deception of the insurance company under the name of "religion." She promises them eternal joy in the next life, if they live this according to certain rules, and many of them are trying, but not enough. When the pain comes, they want miracles. For them I, in fact, a sorcerer, only with magical rings, but not with a bone rattle.
- Do none of them know the truth?
- Can you hear me? They don't deserve the truth, and that's fine, because they do not need.

Our life, at least in one, like a movie. The main role in it played by relatives and friends. The role of the second plan performed by neighbors, colleagues, teachers and acquaintances. There are those who are engaged in the episodes: a young cashier with a pleasant smile from the supermarket nearby, friendly bartender at your local watering hole, the guys train in the gym three times a week. And thousands of extras - those who are part of our lives, but does not stay in it and flash only once, completely falls away, like water through a sieve. The teenager, flipping the comic book at the bookstore "Barnes and noble", by which I had to squeeze (probursa apologies) to get to the shelves with the magazines. The woman driving the car in the next row, which stopped at a traffic light, use the time to tint the lips. The mother wiping ice cream smeared toddler in a roadside diner where you looked. The dealer who sold you a bag of peanuts at a baseball game.
But sometimes in our life there is a person who does not fit into any of these categories. It occurs unexpectedly, often in the most difficult moment. In the movie this character called "the fifth character", or an agent of change. But who writes the script of our life? Providence or chance? I want to believe that the case. I want this. I can't bear the thought of that presence in my life of Charles Jacobs - my "fifth character", the reasons for all the changes and misfortunes are somehow connected with destiny. This would mean that everything that's happened terrible events - these horrors - were destined to happen. And if so, then no light there, and our belief in him is merely naive self-deception. And then we all live in the dark, just clogged the hole, animals or ants, who had taken refuge deep in the nest.
And do not live alone.

- You traded the sermon on the pitch. <...>
- No difference, - he explained. - Both comes down to divorce suckers.

In the movie attracted me with the speed at which metamorphosis. You can start with a boring teenager without friends, without money, with useless parents, and suddenly he turns into brad pitt in his Prime. And separates this geezer from God only the caption "14 YEARS LATER".
