He never thought about the future life, in the depths of his soul he carried that firm, calm conviction inherited from his ancestors, common to all farmers, that just as in the world of animals and plants nothing ends, but is constantly being remade from one form to another - manure into grain, a grain into a chicken, a tadpole into a frog, a worm into a butterfly, an acorn into an oak tree, and so a person is not destroyed, but only modified. He believed in this and therefore cheerfully and even cheerfully always looked into the eyes of death.

Roosevelt understood that fear played an important role in both despair and recovery potential. He knew that fear was crippling and destructive at times, even if the sense of impending danger was ultimately irrational. Roosevelt described it very eloquently when he said: "...Let me express the firm conviction that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself, nameless, reckless, causeless horror, paralyzing the efforts necessary to turn a retreat into an offensive."

What do we have now? TV, which "drive" the music that seems to be the music of television bosses? They simply "adjust" it to their taste (brought up in our schools) and impose it on millions. There is such a feeling (yes, no! already a conviction!) that there is a purposeful brainwashing of the people by broadcasting the same thing on all channels - no, not music, but its rhythmic surrogate. To this “pop music” (what an idiotic, primitive word, but very often used now) it’s good to dance and twitch, but not from morning to evening - you have to work sometime. “The soul is obliged to work,” the poet said wonderfully. And it is the classics that make the soul work, educate and enlighten it, or rather, enlighten it ... Melody! Where can you find it in this noise stream pouring through the ether?

At that moment I experienced a feeling alien to people, but well known to animals subject to us. I experienced what a rabbit feels when he returns to his hole and suddenly finds that the diggers have dug his dwelling to the ground. Then for the first time I vaguely felt what later became quite clear to me, which had been oppressing me for many days - a feeling of dethronement, the conviction that I was no longer the king of the Earth, but an animal among other creatures under the heel of the Martians.

What are beliefs? This is a belief that has sat down in the "Unconscious" and does not want to leave it, in another way it can be said that this is a deep confidence in this very belief.

- Later? If you rely on inner insight to make up your mind, you risk waiting your whole life. Do you think I was so convinced when I joined the Communist Party? Belief comes later.

Words should be used as a means, not an end: language is a tool, persuasion is work.

Promise me one thing: when they begin to convince you from all sides that you are unhappy, think not about what you hear, but about what you feel.

With people, if they are not influenced by conviction, one must resort to coercion.

If philosophy reinforces and asserts our initial feeling that we and nature are one, if it turns this belief into deep, calm contemplation, then I welcome philosophy.
