past [Theme] Page 3

From the chaos of deeds of lies, the problem is to predict the fruits. A lie grabs itself by the tail, like finding a wound in the middle of the straw on the sharp edge of a Lithuanian. So the past, here in the present, influences by chance. Illness is not included in the plans, but a lie is illness and life will not cancel its plan, as soon as it remains to meet the harvest. There is no excuse for waiting at that moment and your legs will not follow your head.

Love your future more than your past.

The origin of the soul cannot be found on earth. There is nothing mixed in it, nothing composite, nothing that could come from the earth, nothing that could be subordinated to a special form.

Alexey Makarovich Smirnov was a good person, sociable, fair, honest, charming. Such a strong, muscular man. He endured any bullying from the director and did not pay attention to any difficulties. The military past probably had an effect. At the same time, Alyosha was hot. If he felt injustice, he was openly indignant and objected. Maybe someone at the studio didn’t like his openness and honesty.

Yes, that’s right: everything that happened to you - recently or long ago, in any year of your life - does not disappear without a trace, but happens again, today, and tomorrow, and always.

- By observing traditions, we allow those who have left forever to remain with us. We grow, mature, learn, feeling their presence and support. This is how the past connects with the future.

There is no good taste without respect for the past.

Here and now we live by the weather. The face of the earth will be washed by the rain, no, the past does not die, and it is pure where the trace is remembered.

Repent first!
