Character: Pepper

- Unknown always scared. It would be good to learn not to be afraid of strange, then this would be easy.
- And in my opinion, just no need to invent If not to invent, then the world will not be anything strange.

Well, it would be somewhere to find people, he thought. To start, simply people - clean shaven, attentive and welcoming. No need to fly high thoughts, do not of shining talents, don't need stunning goals and self-denial don't need to they were the principal proponents or opponents of something. Don't need to they were the principal opponents of drunkenness, but would themselves have been drunkards. Don't need to they were the principal proponents of truth-the uterus, just not lied and said nasty things no eyes, no eyes. And that they did not require total conformity to some ideals, and accept and understand it for what it is... Oh my God, do I want so much?

To see and not to understand is still what to think.

I don't know who you are. Don't know that even those who are absolutely confident in what you know. You are who you are, but can I hope you like all my life I wanted to see you: kind, intelligent, forgiving and mindful, careful, and maybe even noble. We've lost it all, we lack neither strength nor the time, we only build monuments, more, higher, cheaper, and to remember - to remember we can not.

Unknown always scared. It would be good to learn not to be afraid of strange, then this would be easy.

- I'm here waiting for a long time.
"I know," he said.
- Why are you passing?
In fact, why? he thought. Probably because I didn't care.
- I didn't care, he said.

- What is he saying? asked Pepper in a whisper. - I don't understand.
- And is it not strange, said the specific icily. - You have not my pipe.

- Now, list of diseases of feet with which you've suffered.
- Rheumatism.
- Else?
- Intermittent claudication.
Very good. Else?
- Runny nose - said Pepper.
Is not a disease of the feet.
I do not know. It is you, maybe not a disease of the feet. I have it feet. My feet were wet and cold.
- W-well, I suppose. What else?
- Is it enough?
- As you like it. But be warned: the more, the better.
Spontaneous gangrene, ' said Pepper. - Followed by amputation. It was the last illness of my legs.

Oh, my God, in the evening they light the lights in the club, they include radiogram, they drink the yogurt, they drink tons of kefir and night, under the moon, throwing bottles at the lake - who's next. They dance, they play truth or dare and spin the bottle, cards and Billiards, they change women, and the day in their labs they poured a forest of test tubes in a test tube, examine the wood under a microscope, I believe the forest on the adding machines, and the forest is around, hanging over them, growing through their bedrooms, in the stifling pre-storm watch coming to their Windows in droves stray trees and also might not be able to understand what they are, and what they do...

- You also do not have his pipe? asked Pepper.
- Yes,- said one of the mechanics.- How not to be? We have not yet arrived.
- What don't you listen?
- And don't hear anything, why listen to something.
- Why not hear?
- We wire cut.

Pepper cringed. It's just from ignorance, he thought. No, no, it's not a challenge and not anger, it is not necessary to give values. It's just ignorance. Ignorance is not necessary to give value, nobody attaches significance to ignorance. Ignorance defecates in the woods. Ignorance is always something defecates, and, as a rule, do not give it value. Ignorance has never attached significance to ignorance...

Anyway you will never understand that thinking is not entertainment but an obligation...

Others of you inspire unbelief and discouragement. And not because they are dark, or violent, or offer to give up hope, but because lying. Sometimes lie beaming with cheerful songs and dashing whistle, sometimes whining, moaning and apologizing, but lying. Somehow, these books will never burn and never removed from the library, was not yet in the history of the case, to lie betrayed the fire. Is that coincidence is not understood or believed.

But you know, there is an opinion that in order to move forward, kindness and honesty is not so mandatory. For this you need feet. And shoes. You can even unwashed feet and unwashed shoes... Progress may be completely indifferent to the concepts of kindness and honesty, as he was indifferent to these concepts so far. Management, for example, for its correct operation nor honesty, nor kindness are not needed. Nicely, preferably, but not necessarily. Like Latin for attendant. As the biceps for the accountant. As respect to women in Specific... But it all depends on how you understand the progress. You can understand it so that these famous "but": the alcoholic, but a good specialist; the libertine, but a good preacher; a thief after all, burning out, but what a Manager! The killer is, but how disciplined and loyal... And you can understand the progress as the transformation of all people into good and honest. And then we'll live ever up to that time, when people will say, specialist he is certainly knowledgeable, but dirty, drive it should be...
