And that when I recently shared a small piece of information from the tenth
volume about how I am fighting, it turns out, with Mara, who lives in my
employee, it turned out that a whole bunch of readers are in a similar situation.
That many have husbands, wives, children, bosses, employees, brothers,
sisters, in whom this settler also exists. And when I tell this to Big Alexander,
he laughs and says with such an expression, with this accent:
— But I told you, Alex, that this topic is very important. And people are
afraid to talk about it. They, people, never talk about this, that they have
such problems. They all stay silent and wait for something, but this problem
needs to be solved. And everyone stays silent. But everyone has this problem.
The time has long come to solve this problem. It is time for everyone
to solve it, this problem. — that’s how he speaks.
— You know, since I am making the tenth volume about this now, it will turn
out somewhat awkward if, in the end, this employee sends me far away
in a week or a month. And in the end, how will my book end? That I tolerated
a person who, in some calm moments in his soul, is good, but all the rest of
the time is selfish, soulless, vile, greedy, envious, a mean type. And I tortured
myself with this person because I kept him close, but he sent me away
regardless and went AWOL. And I only wasted time on this. But it would be
strange to end the tenth volume like that. After all, probably, the reader, any
reader, will expect some positive conclusion from the tenth volume regarding
this whole story. The conclusion must be somewhat positive.
— Of course, it will be positive. You must understand — your employee isn’t
going anywhere; we will defeat this Mara. And this is the key, the main thing.
You cannot fail to defeat this Mara in him. The task is to help this person,
to expel this dark force from him. That is all. And you will do it.
I, with doubts, naturally, tell him that, of course, I would like to believe it,
okay, but I truly doubt it. That is what I told Big Alexander.
And so three days ago, when I was talking with Big Alexander, he asks me again:
— What are you talking about with the employee, what is the employee up to?
