— Well, if a person is truly magical, then why wouldn’t you believe him?
— Ah, well, okay, okay. Alexandr, I feel like there are two personalities in me,
two personalities.
— Well, yes, the angel and the demon.
— No, no, it’s different.
— How is it different?
— It’s as if there is the one who is good and correct, but that’s with you, when I
listen to you. And then there is another ‘me,’ but he isn’t bad…
— Well, of course, of course you would think he isn’t bad. Но look for yourself:
when you listen to me — this first version of you — people love you, nobody
humiliates you, nobody hurts or insults or judges you. Nobody calls you
a fool when you listen to me and stay in my world — pay attention to that!
Everything in your life falls into place; you have no debts, no problems, no one
is looking for you because of a debt, wanting to rip your head off. Everything
is wonderful. But remember your second personality, the one you are
justifying right now, saying he might also be good and that you aren’t a devil —
remember everything that happened to you every single time you were
that personality.
— Well, yes, but I enjoy being that personality. I just do whatever I want on
my own.
— Sure. But look at the consequences. What does ‘enjoy’ have to do with it?
Life is showing you that every time you listen to no one and do whatever
you want, you might feel pleasure in the moment, but then you are hunted
by the police, or by some gangsters, or something else — everyone wants
to bash your head in because you are misbehaving.
— So, it is a dark personality after all?
— Well, yes. And that is the one you must not let into your life or give a free
rein to — that is the meaning of life. Everyone has one; the question is that
some people control it and don’t give it freedom, while others set it free
within themselves and then wonder why they end up either in a graveyard
or behind bars. That’s all there is to it.

And then, in the end, this employee of mine says:
