things [Theme] Page 5
Appreciate every minute, every second of your life, wherever you are: on the street, on vacation, in nature, at home. As long as we do not appreciate the days and waste ourselves and our energy on unnecessary things, time passes unnoticed, bringing us closer to the end of the road. Do not waste your precious time on conflicts, showdowns, resentment, revenge, anger, and then you will be happy! It is no longer possible to correct many mistakes, because the present time only goes forward. Therefore, you need to take time seriously and value your life.
We usually view people and things as good or bad according to our preferences. We call good what we like and bad what we don't like. Such assessments are generated by our mind. If beauty were inherent in specific objects, then we would all be irresistibly attracted to certain people and things.
But you can't.
At some point, life pats you on the top of your head and hands you a list of what you can keep. This list is surprisingly long. You can keep letters. You can persist in your efforts. You can keep secrets and keep promises. You can stay steadfast on your path. You can keep his sweatshirt - the one he left on the living room floor. You can keep pictures and memories, but you can't keep people. People are not things, they cannot be saved.
If you find this letter ... How I found the meaning of life by writing hundreds of letters to strangers Hannah Brencher
People have always praised me for my intelligence and beauty. And I am an ordinary woman, only with a man's heart. I never drank, never turned to drugs, I knew that compliments and praise should be avoided like poison. Always and in everything I adhered to strict discipline, especially when it was necessary to do difficult unpleasant things. Life becomes more difficult with age. It is not easy to see how you lose freshness. But we must live and fight for this life: to look good, feel good and not succumb to old age.
Where there is love, great things happen; where nothing great happens, there is no love.
Importance, necessity, urgency, beauty, comfort, convenience - as a rule, all these parameters characterize not the thing itself, but our perception of this thing.
We are all touched by different things, but the moment when there is a feeling of knowledge, connection, ephemerality and imperfection of life itself is the moment of wabi-sabi.
The righteous and the unrighteous will be judged by God; because the time for every thing, and the judgment of every deed is there.
Quote Explanation: There is God's judgment, there is a formidable judge, he is waiting. He is not accessible to the ringing of gold, and He knows thoughts and deeds in advance.
There are things more important than "important" calls.
The concepts of "Soviet people" or "Soviet people", derived from the form of government, look somewhat unnatural. It would also be unnatural to call any people monarchical or parliamentary, or to unite all the peoples of the countries of the common market with the name of the common market people. But still, I often use the adjective “Soviet”, because I don’t know any other common name for people of various nationalities inhabiting the USSR. And it is necessary, because the general laws, rules of conduct and conditions of existence that have been in force throughout the life of several generations, without completely destroying national differences, develop traditions and habits common to all. I don’t put any negative meaning into the word “Soviet” in this case. Among Soviet people, as among any other people, there are many smart, stupid, talented, mediocre, noble and scoundrels. But try to put a Russian, an American, an Eskimo and a Thai in the same prison cell, keep them in this cell for a sufficient number of years and you will see that all of them, with all their national and personal differences, will have the same inclinations. and habits, they will all write in small handwriting, dislike bright sunlight, and will all be claustrophobic. And if their children and grandchildren grow up in the same cell, then from early childhood they will learn to deceive the guards, hide small things in the folds of their clothes, and bread under their pillows, and even released into the wild and into a prosperous life, they will be for a very long time to keep these habits and, perhaps, to pass them on by inheritance.
It is not difficult to become a soldier, otherwise there would be no soldiers at all. You need to remember only three things, namely: the first is to follow orders, the second is to pour the enemy properly, the third is not to die
If people were awake at night and slept during the day, then all their things would be only dark gray. And one person from another would be distinguished only by the voice. But in the daytime, everything is simple: what clothes you wear, you will be. Dressed as a fireman - you are a fireman. Dressed as a general - go, command. It is immediately clear to everyone who you are.
To love someone is to let the person do what is right for them, and to love yourself is to do what is right for you. Sometimes they are different things.
