Here is a good example for you. Why do people refuse help, and if you offer him a hand, he will bite you in response? He thinks that he knows everything and is smarter than everyone? If I get on the subway in Moscow or St. Petersburg and say to a passenger, “Hey, here is a book I wrote, read it. It’ll tell you how to live your life the right way.” What will everyone’s reaction be? “Whatever, dude, I’ll tell you more about how to live than you can tell me.”
I just looked back and saw that for ten years, aliens have been pitching the right topics to me, and I don’t complain. Who are you people listening to? Is the television giving you the right info? Or are some of your friends pitching you something or some kind of personal narrative of yours? From what place was your life dictated to you? From what place?
Yes, I am now trying to inflate an atmosphere, speaking condescendingly. So that you feel the disparity. I am writing to you in such emotional arrogance so you think about it! From what place it is dictated to you how to live! Look back at your life! Yes, it sounds pathetic. Naturally, someone will be able to look back and be happy about the last five years of his life. It’s good and great for those people. But there are not many such readers. And half of these people have had these great five years because of my books. When I say “you people,” don’t take it personally. At the moment, we are all in the same boat, and when I say so, I’m just talking about people. Think of your friends who don’t want to listen to you and, in fact, advise you about something. Look at their life from the outside. Should you listen to them instead of aliens?
Now I will try to explain to you this principle, how it works, how “their” “head” works. I will now explain this principle, how it works for “them,” and how it works for me. “They” do not think about whether people will like something or, “Oh, what will they think of me.” “They” do not have all these considerations. “They” do everything that has some consequences, you know? The consequences are important to them, and it is the result that they pursue. They don’t care if you get offended or not, although if “They” aim for you to get offended, “They” will do it. That is, “They” know everything in advance and know how your mentality works. Say you are told that you have to be an alcoholic, drink every day,
