And I say all this to the employee and explain:
— I don’t want to offend you with these words. But even if you get offended,
this will confirm even more that there is a demon in you. Because for a
normal person, what is there to be offended by, there is nothing criminal,
aggressive from my side here. Just my advice to you, so that you would be
a little more modest, because it is as if this limit is knocked off in you.
The limit of your needs. Need to be a little more modest: here if you came to
a restaurant, even if you are being treated, order a modest, the cheapest dish.
And stop this ‘wanting’ and looking at everyone and comparing who has a
better t-shirt. You eternally want your t-shirt to be better than others and it
directly hurts you. And why don’t you want a t-shirt simpler than everyone
else’s? It looks so hungry simply from your side, that this ego of yours and
these hungry desires, they confuse you. That is, your very own internal
personality, this demon, you yourself trust it, and you yourself deceive
yourself with this due to the fact that you eternally cannot shorten in yourself
this impulse of this ‘party-goer’ in quotation marks. Well, this restless
person who eternally wants everywhere and everything.
And so he needs to go to a concert, and to a restaurant, and to look at how
everyone looks, and also to show himself everywhere, and buy everything
the brightest, get acquainted with all the brightest people. I say:
— While you want this. You will be like a squirrel in a wheel, like a guinea pig
in a wheel, you will just chase after this endlessly like this, years will pass, you
will get old, get sick and will be needed by no one, but you will have nothing
and nothing will happen.
Because I have already seen all these people. And every year I ask them
“So what?”, and they only get mad, angry, offended, because I ask them for
the truth, I want to talk to them. They don’t want to see this truth. They say:
“Leave me alone, leave me alone, Alex.” I say: “But what? I remember,
you were chasing something. That is, you refused, let’s say, a sparrow or a
titmouse that could have been in your hand, you wanted a swan. In the end,
