In Moscow, on the Maiden's Field, a monument to doctors - heroes of the Great Patriotic War, was erected using folk funds. He would be made of gold! Yes, it is made of gold, only of a different standard, the highest - from the gold of human gratitude, human memory.

When the boundaries in the minds of citizens are erased, when citizens begin to think all sorts of garbage, when some leaders of public opinion stand out from them, the most stupid sheep, followed by the rest of the sheep, because this brightly colorful one can link three words, compose a verse, to sing a song and everyone was already trembling with happiness, wow, what brilliant insights. No, there are no brilliant insights, but the means of conveying information to citizens have greatly developed.

means, but by one soul.

But still, I have the right to count on any rank.

There is no remedy that man does not resort to in order to avoid the real labor of thinking.

If talent creates a good name for us and earns people's affection, then it is fair that our diligence and efforts provide us with the means to satisfy our needs, for we are not disembodied spirits!

This is what wealth gives. It provides the means and the opportunity to hide from the world, if you so desire - or if you need it.

Blessed be nature for quarrelsomeness, for enviously rival vanity, for an insatiable thirst for possession and dominion! Without them, all the excellent natural inclinations of humanity would remain forever undeveloped. Man wants consent, but nature knows better what is good for his kind; and she wants contention. He wants to live carelessly and cheerfully, and nature wants him to get out of the state of negligence and inactive contentment and plunge headlong into work and experience difficulties in order to find a reasonable way to get rid of these difficulties. Thus, natural incentives, sources of uncommunication and universal resistance, causing so many disasters, but also constantly prompting a person to a new tension of forces and, therefore, to a greater development of natural inclinations, perfectly reveal the device created by a wise creator; and this has nothing to do with the evil spirit, which allegedly interferes with the magnificent arrangement created by the creator, or spoils it out of envy.

In the arsenal of theology, I was looking for a weapon for holy war; I was looking for means by which the Gospel idea of ​​salvation could triumph in the souls of those who had lost their strength and succumbed to temptation - and would return the lost, broken, sick to the right path ... Neither historical, nor systematic, nor practical theology, taken separately, did not correspond this much needed requirement. In all ages, the Church was to be illuminated with the spirit of Christian love; she was called to give people this love and make them instruments of divine love - but in fact, in her history, the trace of such efforts is almost negligible, despite the examples of many whom love has transformed, and many who dedicated their lives to deeds in her name. Endless disputes about dogmas - cruel, fanatical, filled with hatred, and the more powerful, the more petty, insignificant and further from the understanding of love was their subject; disputes about the forms of worship, which were given magical power; fear, striking to the shiver of any believer, when he understood that his own conscience tells him to depart from the church charter - and thereby deprive his soul of salvation; a fierce hatred of heretics, who, knowing the Bible and faith, willy-nilly rejected old beliefs and adherence to church dogma, even if they attributed such deviations to satanic tricks; questions of power, money and law, resolved in spite of the gospel - all of this, as I found out, was much more concerned than the task of translating divine and human love into life. In an effort to prove that they better understood and embodied the religion of love, some Christians smashed the heads of other Christians who also served Jesus and wanted to be His disciples; often entire nations were involved. People killed, robbed, raged more mercilessly than beasts of prey - in the name of the One who died on the cross out of love and by death bore witness to the message of love brought by Him. Of course, there are many testimonies of sincere love and true piety in church history. And yet, if the criterion announced by Jesus in the Gospel of John becomes the yardstick, it will be that according to which disciples are recognized by mutual love, and not by subtle differences in dogmas; if it becomes His main commandment about man's love for God, his neighbor and himself; if they are the words of the Apostle Paul, who put love above faith and hope (1 Cor. 13:13), then the history of the Christian religion is more like a monstrous misunderstanding or an abnormal deviation from true Christianity. Dogmatic theology and its history, with their ruthless adherence to irrational dogmas that have nothing to do with love, seemed to me to be a roundabout maneuver undertaken with one goal: to bypass the main point of Jesus' preaching and demands. I saw how the Gospel and the doctrines of the Church horrified people, for any doubt about them threatened to be burned at the stake and in hellish flames; I compared it to the careless contempt with which the love of Christ was trampled upon; and I considered it as straining a mosquito and swallowing a camel.

“I’m not missing anything,” the Doctor replied. - Okay, I don’t miss such things. Birthdays - yes, I'm terrible. Socks! I always lose my socks. There are never too many socks. If you ever think about what to get me for Christmas, socks is what I would suggest. Remote bomb activation controls are different. If they are here, I find them.

Do Gullivers of all times understand that only they are great, and not the goals they strive for, and not the means they use? Do they understand that achieving these goals is deadly for them? Dangerous danger to descend to the midgets.

funds. And the means spread lies. The idea here seems to be that Trump is helping America avoid doom and therefore needs to be given the freedom to lie; if we didn't let him lie, the left would continue to do so, and then they would win and drive us straight to hell. But this suggests that truth can no longer rule voters or Americans. If this is true, republicanism is over as a principle - if we can only lie to voters to vote for us, it completely undermines the decency of republicanism.

When all means are good, they do not explain it by necessity, and when there is a need, you do not have to choose.

When you raise the bar of your ideas about the possible and decide to fight for it, you open up the means to achieve your goal.
