must spend the money on necessary expenses: family, household, monthly obligations. Only after covering those do you figure out how to use what remains. Not like someone who spends their last money on chocolate bars, overeats, then suffers from a stomachache. But with experience, using logic, you understand that you can eat half a chocolate bar — you’ll still enjoy it, but you won’t feel sick. You won’t gain weight. And if you brush your teeth afterward, you won’t even damage your teeth. It’s the same with money — you don’t have to spend it all. You can save for the future, for next month — what if something happens? What if you don’t get paid, or you get fined, or you lose money? At least you’ll have savings. What if you suddenly fall ill? Medicine is expensive. So while people who live purely by feelings may seem sensitive, emotions alone won’t take them far. Logical thinking is absolutely necessary. And somewhere in the future—in one of the “Alternative History” books — I explain, prove, and reveal that there are specific forces, meaning gods: there is a God responsible for the heart, and there is a God responsible for the mind, for intellect. And this God is absolutely necessary—you can’t do without Him. So, where am I going with this? Imagine an interesting picture: you are looking at a triangle, a flat triangle drawn in a graph-paper notebook. On one side, we write “Instinct”, on the second side, we write “Mind”, and on the third side, we write “Heart.” Beautiful? Beautiful. Go ahead — draw it, don’t be lazy. Laziness is bad. Seriously, the more you allow yourself to be lazy, the more it pulls you into darkness. The more you work — not even for yourself, but for anyone, as long as you keep working — the more you pull yourself toward the light. No matter how much your emotions deceive you into thinking you want to sit down, lie down... Feelings are good, but where is your mind and intellect? Of course, if you are elderly or ill, then by all means, sit down. But if you’re not even forty yet—are you out of your mind sitting down? Until you turn forty, you should only ride public transport standing up. But that’s beside the point. So? You imagined the triangle and saw its sides labeled “instinct,” “mind,” and “heart,” but that is just one side of a three-dimensional triangle. Do you hear me? One side. Now, if this is a three-dimensional tetrahedron, and we look at one of its faces, we turn it and call it “triangle one,” where we have written the three edges: “instinct,” “mind,” and “heart.” Now imagine turning the tetrahedron to another face — let’s call this “triangle two.” Here, we write one side as “mind,” the second side as “heart,” and the third
