Then, life led me for many, many years, and I walked the path, and I saw that social and material development is necessary and important. And that there is not only dark material and social development but also light material and social development — that’s how I began to see it. Because when I realized that it’s not enough to just be a sensitive, creative person, but that one also needs to be responsible, attentive, disciplined, structured, punctual, and far-sighted — all these qualities I just listed belong to a cultivated mind, a good, positive, God- given material and social frequency, world, and environment. Do you understand? And that is good. But the world we live in is so tangled that most people now believe that social and material development means arrogance, shamelessness, immorality, violation of ethics, vanity, and greed. People believe that all these negative qualities, these vices and sins, are what define social and material development. People have become lost and misguided.

Publishers are now only interested in printing books if an author has enough likes and followers; that’s how they choose whom to publish — not based on talent, but based on numbers. Can you imagine? And now, the more someone is a show-off... There are so many nouveau riche types these days. Nouveau riche have always existed — people not from noble or well-mannered families, people who don’t know ethics, morals, or decency, shameless people who, through arrogance, cunning, and shady schemes, managed to make fast money and, as a result, flaunt themselves covered in brands and feathers — that’s what a nouveau riche is. And when you see that in the last ten years, the world has been overrun by these kinds of people, you realize that thanks to social media, they’ve been given an easy path — a way to climb to the top of the
