The Book of Living. Юрий Белк

is avery important stage in a person's life, and we will return to it from time to time.Now we will go straight to the age of majority. Although there is a legal age of majority here, there is a subjective one, when someone grows up faster, someone doesnot grow up at all.

      In different countries, the legal age of majority is quite wide in the spectrum.

      The age at which we begin to be fully responsible for our actions and actions, although in certain situations criminal liability may occur in the Russian Federation from the age of 14 and 16, respectively, depending on the severity of the crime.

      School ends around the age of 17, and at this age people often enter adulthood, which is full of surprises. It often happens that this adult life begins to attract with its vices more than the opportunity to develop fully.

      It all depends on who you're on the boat with at the time. If your friends are right, you will become right, and vice versa, if the opposite, although everything again depends on the person's personality.

      We tend to look for causes outside more often than in ourselves inside. Although many questions have answers within us.

      – Grown-ups, there they are, grown-ups, – we used to say when we were kids, listing grown-ups as if they were aliens with their own laws and possibilities.

      – They know how to buy toys, and someone gives them money, probably some others who are generally magicians, – something like this we could think very young, considering adults, paying attention to their superpowers…

      So we became adults, or rather, adults… So…? Where are our superpowers?

      Most people's lives are monotonous to the point of ugliness, in the good sense of the word. House, family, children, hospital, yard, garage, plot, compote, cinema.

      People almost all eat the same food, and many have the same life, despite the variety of pants. Although the color differentiation of pants3, of course, can change a person's life, but only slightly.

      Birthdays and holidays in general

      Birthdays that are better and more correctly called "the anniversary of birth in the form of a newborn", someone notes, someone does not note.

      Diseases, what to do with them?

      If you have any pain, you need to go to the doctors, and even if it does not hurt, and you are plus forty years old, then you need to be checked from time to time.

      МImaginary diseases, which are the most dangerous and insidious, do not show themselves externally, symptoms appear more often only in the extreme stages of the disease, so preventive examinations should be done from time to time, at least once a year, well, at least once every two years. Or at leastevery five years in full.

      You should take the medications that you have been prescribed.

      To marry or not to marry?

      Such a question, it can not be said that it is somehow unusual or unique for any person. Here you can answer with the phrase of Socrates:"If you get a good wife, you will become happy, if you get a bad one, you will become a philosopher."

      I will not comment on this proverb, but you should always strive to start a family, this applies to both girls and boys. It's fun to live alone young, but old age comes, and not always in pleasant forms.

      Getting married or getting married is necessary to meet old age together. You need to look for just such a person with whom there is something to talk about.

      However,it must be admitted that the highly developed egocentrism of modern man has changed a lot in our society, most importantly, of course, in the institution of the family. But it really did exist before. The family is a whole state, with its own laws and crimes, which must be respected and avoided, depending on the definition.

      Withta, it comes unnoticed, someone immediately, after any illness, that it is very difficult or almost impossible to recover in age. It is rare for people to maintain working capacity, as in their youth, but age is not an appetite, if it starts, it does not go back.

      Look for your person from the heart, external beauty is lapped, and after some time you will begin to communicate with souls, not bodies.

      Don't be jealous

      There are many commandments, but envy is one of the most terrible, because it is the locomotive and idea of other crimes. There will always be someone who lives better than you, always. So it's a dead end idea to be envious.

      Stop looking at others with a sense of envy, and when they say "white" or "black" envy, it's still envy. Envy eats up happiness, so they say simply: if you want to be happy, be happy. Try to notice people around you who are more unhappy than you are, and, of course, help them whenever possible. But compared to them, you may feel happier.

      Most importantly, do not forget that you are a person, and not one who sets out to find the best place for yourself.

      Friends

      There's no point in compressing everything you've said about friends in this chapter right now. The idea of this book was to say something else that I think is very important.

      You can have thousands of friends, but no one will conditionally congratulate you on your birthday. Although I have already described about the birthday, and I have my own attitude to it. In general, there is no need to confuse friends and acquaintances.

      Otherpeople who are not related can sometimes be much closer to you than relatives. Although, rather, it even happens more often. And there's nothing wrong or negative about it. The fact is that the probability that there is a person among your relatives who is closer to you inmentality is very small. Navernoe, you may now recall that your character was often compared to an uncle or grandfather, a grandmother who lives in another city or is no longer alive. The probability of similarity in the character of the closest first-line relatives is very small, and it is much easier to find your own person, like-minded person in society.

      And in fact, people with the same mindset or lifestyle are more likely to find a common language, they are attracted to each other, they are interested in each other.

      If they are two fishermen, then they can no longer interfere, they can always chat among themselves. But no one knows your life better than you do, so the best adviser to make any fateful decisions can only be yourself.

      Therefore, all attempts to consult with a friend or girlfriend almost always lead to an unprofessional choice of position. At some points, it is better for another person to judge without nerves, since it is not his fate that is being decided, conditionally, on the other hand, he or she cannot know all the details. Therefore, it is necessary to consult, but the choice should always be yours.

      It is better tomake big decisions on a fresh head, in the morning, and in general in the fresh air. In this state, a person's thinking and cognitive abilities are higher. On the street, even if it is polluted with the products of burning car fuel, it is still cleaner than home, apartment air, which is saturated with allergens, viruses and mold, and just dust, and the oxygen level is slightly higher, and the level of carbon dioxide is slightly lower.

      Loneliness

      It can be temporary, it can be permanent, it can be mental and physical. But from time to time, a person needs to stay in this state.

      Mrir is quite large, and we are also influenced by other people, so let's say, go back to factory settings at least a little or reset the cache memory to average out the meanings and ideas in our head. The environment affects you, no matter how much you internally believe that this is not the case, we are always affected by the environment. And it's not just friends, it's even the environment, work and other moments.

      When you are alone, you are alone with your thoughts, and if they are spoiled, it is quite difficult to bear, so one of the most terrible punishments in penicytic institutions is solitary confinement.

      Man is a social being, and the word "being" here does not mean an insult, being means existing.

      Travel

      You
