Looking at the monster into which the mutilated and almost soulless Voldemort has become, we see in this story the answer to Christ’s rhetorical question: “What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” (Mark 8:36).

The Harry Potter books are classics; not only children's, but also real, without discounts, classics of world literature. These stories are masterfully told - it is worth paying attention to how carefully the entire series and individual books are structured - and carry a huge semantic charge.

If tomorrow you are no longer there, nothing will change in the global world. The world before you and the world after you are still the same unchanging world. Is it worth it then to waste your life counting on someone’s help, to depend on someone’s opinion, to follow the paths of the crowd? On the contrary, you need to establish your own importance - not by force, but by mind, and win your place in history.

Just be there. Like a single whole, woven from billions of particles, where the train of thoughts, horizons, even phrases begin with the same words. Where touches turn into silk, each line on the palm is like a map of life long studied by heart, only you manage to store new stories, tangled somewhere between the nameless and index. Because when it’s hard for one part, the other one will hug you tightly, giving you joy... it’s as simple as that. And you cannot find anything more valuable in this world.

Stories are crippling. They make us who we are. They have power. I understand this.

It snowed all day. I stood at the window and watched happy snowflakes slowly fly by. There are things that you don’t want to let go of because they give you beauty and peace. They also take us back to a fairy tale, to childhood. I remember, when I was little, I built huge snow cave-houses in the snowdrifts and hid there, believing that no one would ever find me. And these unusual secret flowers that you put under a piece of glass in the summer, so that in winter you can find a magical daisy or even a rose somewhere under a tree. In the evening there is another blizzard, and it’s so nice to be in a warm house next to your grandmother, who tells her amazing stories. The wood is crackling in the fireplace, but the fire slowly goes to sleep overnight. And the next morning you wake up early, when it’s still dark outside the window, and you quietly admire how the snow is falling, large white flakes, like butterflies, fly onto the glass, selflessly kissing it and lying on the ledge. And around there is a white, white planet. My favorite winter...

Good detective stories are like people's destinies: yes, everyone knows the ending, but the plot can be completely unpredictable.

If tomorrow our government comes to the decision to issue a fine to everyone who claims unreasonable stupidity, we will build the strongest economy in the history of mankind.

The Bible is not a history textbook or a science textbook, but a textbook of spiritual truths. And all these examples that are given there, they should touch our hearts and make us think about something.

The world is your perception of it. The inner and outer always correspond; they are reflections of each other. The world is a mirror image of your thoughts. If there is chaos and confusion within you, then your outer world should reflect this. You must see what you believe because you are a confused thinker who looks outward and sees himself. You are the interpreter of everything, and if there is chaos within you, then everything you see and hear must also be chaos. Even if Jesus or Buddha were standing in front of you, you would hear confused words because the confusion would be in the listener. You would only hear what you thought they were saying, and you would start arguing with them as soon as your story was threatened.

Magic also lives in the moments when we dream and believe in our goals. The power of creation is in our hands and we can add our own personal touch to this world. We can make magic with our own hands, turning our dreams into reality and making this world brighter and more beautiful for everyone we meet along the way. Magic is the art of life, and each of us is a wizard in our own unique story.

Eat. Here's one of the reasons. The vast majority of people throughout history have clearly believed in some supernatural entity or entities. The fact that they give different characteristics to these supernatural beings does not take away from the fact that all these people believe in one or another supernatural being. Moreover, these beliefs were held by people in different parts of the world and at different time periods independently of each other. The burden of explaining this phenomenon falls on the materialist-atheist. If these beliefs do not stem from actual experience, then they must stem from widespread human error, or the predisposition of people to make big mistakes about what does and does not actually exist in their world. And these delusions must be so strong that they bring all these people into a state of deep religious devotion. In other words, these are not just passing hallucinations. This delusion, that is, the “religious delusion,” must be deeply and constantly experienced to such an extent that people suffering from it do not even suspect that they are mentally unbalanced. But to claim that most people are so profoundly and persistently deluded and prone to making such serious cognitive errors is to dismiss the human mind itself and its ability to accurately recognize and understand the world. Such a statement casts great doubt on reason and, therefore, on the conclusions of materialistic atheists themselves, who rely entirely on the ability of the human mind to understand its place in the Universe and discover its greatest secrets. In other words, the recognition of the supernatural is so universal in nature and, therefore, so inherent in human nature and the human mind’s perception of the surrounding world that to discredit this general concept of the supernatural means to discredit the human mind itself, along with the ability of humanity to be in this world and perceive it as he really is. This is the idea that materialistic atheism holds without realizing the self-destructive nature of its program.

Why do the world's leading scientists even put forward these far-fetched theories? Because they understand that a purely physical explanation of the world cannot be adequate. They understand that a purely naturalistic picture cannot answer the most important and pressing questions. At the same time, they recognize that the Universe has all the characteristics of a designed, created system, as if there was a plan and will behind it all. But they refuse to admit that they actually mean God. So they have to invent aliens, computer simulations, and other simple stories to make sense of things that make no sense from the point of view of strict materialism. Maybe one day they will unearth the truth they worked so hard to hide.

Even the most innocent lie can have the most serious consequences. Don't repeat my mistakes. After all, not all stories end as well as mine.
