Sometimes I tell my son almost forgotten legends about courage and justice. This child is the meaning of my existence. If he is not the Word of God, then God is mute.
Today has proven that there is no limit to human stupidity. I will convince myself that mistakes add meaning to life, like punctuation marks to a text.
Perhaps we can name three stable components of Russian self-awareness. We have already talked about this in part, but we need to repeat it again. The first component of national self-awareness is Orthodox ideas about good and evil, about the world and man. They go with us through the centuries, despite heresies and schisms, revolutions and reactions, atheism and new outbreaks of religiosity. They have firmly entered into the ideological matrix of the Russians, and no reformers can knock them out of it. The second is the collective memory of the historical choices that Russia had to make, being, in the words of Mendeleev, “between the hammer of the West and the anvil of the East.” The third is the Russian type of thinking, combining peasant common sense with cosmic feeling. As the poet said about the Russian mind, “it soberly judges the earth, bathing in a mystical darkness.”

To put it bluntly and openly, Harry's spiritual life, both in the final chapters of The Deathly Hallows and throughout this four-thousand-plus page epic, is presented as the path of a disciple of Christ. There is no overt preaching in the final Harry novel: yet the story is so rich in specifically Christian references and meanings that to deny them would be to miss a huge, perhaps even the most important, part of the transcendental meaning of these books.

What's the point if those who have the means and the power don't fight?
Dying... It's not scary, right? Why be afraid of death if one distant day it will defeat every inhabitant of the endless lands of Interworld. Why run from death if every flower is destined to wither, if every leaf will one day tear off the tree, fly a few inches in the air and fall to the ground waiting for the first snow. Why hide from your end if the meaning of existence is so easy to lose?
For the first time in his life, Grandier understood the meaning of repentance - not in words, according to the scholastic definition, but from within, with all his soul; It turned out that repenting is painful. Because you're beating yourself up.
The Harry Potter books are classics; not only children's, but also real, without discounts, classics of world literature. These stories are masterfully told - it is worth paying attention to how carefully the entire series and individual books are structured - and carry a huge semantic charge.
... why does everyone love Harry Potter so much? Believe it or not, the answer is that the transcendental meaning of this book, and especially its Christian content, resonates with the hearts and souls of readers.
