Прохор Озорнин - On the Wings of Hope - Prose

***

About beauty and its victims

Beauty demands victims. Spiritual ugliness becomes a consequence of victims made to please only external beauty.

***

About animal and human nature

Animals are men in the future, but some men are animals in the present.

***

About appropriate soil

When the appropriate soil is ready, tyrants are born. When the appropriate soil is ready, saviors are born.

***

About the opinions of crowds

What’s in the crowds? They often lie.

Lay down before them – soon you’ll cry.

The one who wished to please them all –

He often pays his bloody toll.

***

About world rubbish

The world is filled with rubbish because rubbish fills the minds of men.

***

About creation and destruction

When you love something – you are building it. So mother brings up his child, so loving one improves his beloved, so a feat for the homeland is being made. When you hate something – you are destroying it. So parents refuse their newborn children, so quarrels and reproaches destroy families, so a homeland is being betrayed.

***

About peaceful victory

To be on the right side of barricades means to be where they aren’t present.

***

About false and true treasures

Give blind one a stone, having called it a brilliant – and he will value it more than his life. Give seeing one a brilliant, and he will reject it, valuing true life.

***

About comparison

Do not compare yourself with others to never be tormented with either self-abasement or arrogance. Compare yourself at present with the one you were the day before.

***

About new horizons on the way of life

New horizons open only in a process of moving on the Way. Life is boring and monotonous for those standing still.

***

About education of boors

Don’t re-educate donkeys – have a pity on own forces and their time.

***

About traces in the history

Never hurry to leave a trace in the history if you have no familiar biographer – there may be no one to wipe them up later on.

***

About fools luck

Not fools, but kind people who are lucky. But in a world of evil ones, they really look like fools.

***

About not-made-by-hands monuments

There is only one a non-shameful monument that does exist – one which keeps living in hearts of men, being not-made-by-hands.

***

About body and spiritual priorities

Sometimes people are so afraid not to injure their physical bodies that easily damage souls instead.

***

About unexpectedness of miracles

Never know you in advance when with miracle you’ll dance.

***

About heroes and commoners

Great souls of prophets and heroes of spirit have been coming to our world era by era, showing the right way for the ones who have lost true themselves in a mirage of earth false values. They were precisely like beams of light in the darkness, directing travelers by the ways intended to them by God. But after them there came crowds and masses of profaners, distorters, and vituperators, proud of their human right and illusion of belonging to their Way, changing the essence of what has been done and told by the heroes, immersing the world into the darkness of sadness once again. How many heroes does this world need for its salvation, and how many of them will it crucify again?

***

About false compassionateness

I am not so compassionate to support and encourage human nonsenses.

***

About age and souls

Few adults here have the souls of innocent children.

***

About manners and careers

Mine your manners not of fear – for your soul, not a career.

***

About geniuses and speeds

The ones used to be called as “geniuses” do not overtake their age and time – it’s their contemporaries who are moving with slower than recommended speed.

***

About the value of truth

Truth’s ever single, but lies are so many. This makes the truth is some eyes cost a penny.

***

About the skill of communication

Ability to communicate wisely is useful: kindly with good people, and in no way with evil.

***

About mental touches

When we think of someone, we are invisibly touching them. Let’s touch each other with kind thoughts.

***

About education in love

If children are not taught of how to love, sooner or later they will be taught by someone else of how to hate. Spiritual nature doesn’t accept emptiness.

***

About moods and staying with each other

To think that your beloved one should feel himself bad without you – means to defend your ego. You should feel good with each other, not bad without.

***

About aspirations of capitalism

The essence of capitalism’s aspirations is to sell out our world to free people, even though it has already been granted to them before free of charge.

***

About false culture

False culture makes a man too tolerant of nasty things and too indifferent to noble ones.

***

About rights for wisdom-nonsenses

Each person has a right for both wisdom and stupidity. It’s unwise to abuse the second.

***

About right state of mind

Staying in a kind state of consciousness reduces the number of troubles occurring in one’s life.

***

About fruits and vegetables

– He’s that sort of a fruit!

– No, he is but a vegetable.

***

About collective demonish-ness

Neo-fascism in its new act has given birth to saddest fact:

It matters not how smart are you – in crowds, these ones are few.

***

About ungrateful calumniators

There is a caste of men – I marvel them for long:

You give them Paradise – they’ll spit with their tongue.

And, maybe, Paradise is truly what they need –

They never value it because of utter greed.

***

About “big game” and gamers

“Rulers of this world” still believe that they are freely playing with destinies of nations and states. No way. They are the ones being played by completely alien entities through necessary thoughts and desires which are being grown inside, – and these “players of players” have nothing in common with goodness and kindness.

***

About lie for good purpose

There is no such thing as “lie for goodness sake” – there must be such thing as a limited information.

***

About chaotic thinking

Don’t allow your thoughts to flicker – the voice of the soul will be weaker.

***

About inevitable battle

The battle for the future awaits everyone. The question of weapon selection still remains.

***

About system of anti-humanism

Either you transform the false system of values, or the system finally shapes you to its liking.

***

About methods of opposing the evil

Oppose the evil not by violence, but by force of spirit.

***

About cold war and hearts

Why are there such severe frosts in the USA? If one keeps waging cold war for such a long time – he’ll freeze himself for good and once and for all!

***

About choosing the smaller of two evils

By constantly choosing between smaller of two evils, you will inevitably choose ultimate evil one day.
