the difference [Theme] Page 3



A pinch of poisonous potion was enough. Let's say hemlock (with which Socrates committed suicide), arsenic, hellebore. Adding these substances to wine solved any issue quickly and silently, unlike a stiletto or other weapon. In addition, it was not possible to determine the presence of poison in the body due to the backwardness of medicine. The death of the victim looked quite natural. That's why poisoning in the Middle Ages was a kind of art - like architecture, sculpture, music, painting. And the one who mastered this art had a great advantage over those who were laymen or amateurs in it.

The national idea of any state should be the prosperity of its citizens. Otherwise, you will have to constantly face destructive forces and, relatively speaking, carry out denazification once every five years. After all, in the absence of concern for their own population, the number of dissatisfied will only grow, and people will again and again turn their eyes to people like Bandera and Shukhevych. If Ukrainian opposition politicians do not begin to address economic problems, the potential denazification program is doomed to failure. This is the fundamental difference between Ukraine and Germany.

It feels like I've been fighting all my life not to be like these people. All I do is fight. Eleven years ... And all I can do is use my fists like a broken person. I don't think I'm very different from these guys. Not as much as I would like, but I don't know how to be anyone else. How to exist here without being like this? God, I don't even know this world. I don’t know anymore. Or I don't see myself in it.

Theology or "theology" (Greek) is the doctrine of the Divine; it existed even before the advent of Christianity. Theologians in ancient antiquity were called those poets who dealt with the origin of the world (cosmogony) or gods (mythology), in contrast to philosophers who considered things by themselves.

- And before you have time to blink an eye, - the Doctor completed, folding his arms over his chest, - only the Garamanov universe remained. Small, frightened, power-obsessed Garamans. All the same, all irritable, all blaming each other for what happened.

Books were easier than men. They filled with all the emotions of the world: joy, despondency, fear, pain, pleasure - and then they ended. The people were different. Unpredictable. Uncontrollable.

If empathy is one of the main resources of deeply human happiness (as opposed to, say, the fleeting sense of happiness that comes from beer or chocolate), art is a source of empathy.

Putin is perhaps sincere when he says that he did not seek presidential power. He, unlike Brezhnev, did not start any intrigue. But in reprisals against cheated supporters, as well as against opponents, he is tougher.
