Appearing in public without a mask and solemnly pronouncing:
IT Is Us
Since early childhood, I have heard from different people that “there are no miracles in this world.” This phrase has always seemed meaningless and contradictory to me. When I heard something like this, it became a little offensive, because somewhere deep inside I always felt the presence of something special and priority – some accompanying, but hidden, encrypted information.
When I was still a very “green kid”, I often doubted the authority of adults. And in general, there was no such thing as an authoritative opinion for me. And this was not at all because I did not respect people. Of course, I treated adults with respect. It’s just that back then their advice seemed like transparent soap bubbles to me, which I blew on indifferently, and the wind immediately carried them away into the distance. There they meaninglessly burst, turning into nothing. The same attitude to the advice of adults is very typical in adolescence, when even friendly instructions are perceived as moralizing, and a didactic tone is associated with the sound of a dentist’s drill.
To tell the truth, I am very ashamed of this now. After all, I had a rather difficult time later. Many, many of them were given at the right time. And I understand perfectly well what stage or social level I would be at now if I had listened to them at least a little. But, unfortunately, I was hopelessly deaf to the words of adults, because I did not see the point in them and did not feel their importance for my young existence. My “sleeping” mind completely refused not only to follow any sensible, useful or simply friendly advice, but was not even ready to hear them. What can I say... I completely ignored many truly important words that were presented as a free gift.
Of those who generously gifted me with “golden grains” of wisdom and shared invaluable experience, there were many close relatives who had seen the world - adults and intelligent people. Those who were important to me. Those who repeatedly made their dreams come true. After all, despite unforeseen circumstances, they live in joy and love to this day, paying due attention to themselves, their loved ones, and their projects. Not refusing to help even strangers and instilling hope in them, they warm with selfless care everyone who turned to them for help. That is, they live in complete harmony, leaving a kind and bright grain of happiness in the world. This is the kind of harmony I want to tell you about.
At that time, being a sixteen-year-old boy, I was practically unaware of anything. I was controlled only by a wild imagination and the thirst inherent in youth. I drank life in stride, not afraid to choke and drown in it. I would get tired of listing how many times I could have gone down the wrong path with those who were more familiar with that path. I am afraid to even imagine what could have happened to me on that slippery path, if not for SHE... She saved me! She saved me just like many times before. Just like she always saved me! Then I did not understand it at all, but I listened to her and did everything as she said, obeying unquestioningly. I knew that if I disobeyed, I would greatly regret it and bring myself to tears, deep experiences and moral self-torture, because I clearly knew that reality is exactly as I see it, and that no one else understands this.
But if I listened to her, I became happier than ever before! There was a feeling of flight, and I rose a little higher than before. I listened to her and became what I always dreamed of being!
So listen and heed! I will tell you the Truth. And most importantly, do not believe, for man is accustomed to believing lies...
Truth First
