Moment GQ One path makes the journey along it joyful: no matter how much you wander— you and your path are inseparable. The other way will make you curse your life.

One way gives you strength, the other destroys you.

Circle of knowledge
The disciple asked the sage, "Sage, you know a lot. Why then do you have new questions?". The sage drew two circles in the sand: one large, the other small, and said: "The big circle is my knowledge, and the small circle is your knowledge. All that is around is the unknown. The larger the circle, the more it comes into contact with the unknown, the more questions arise."

The reality of life
One young man was very proud that he had many friends.
When he met his love and decided to get married, his father was preparing for the wedding. Among other things, my father also sent out invitations.
The wedding day came, but none of the groom's friends came. The guy got angry and asked his father:
- Why didn't you invite my friends?
The father replied:
– I invited you. But I didn't put invitation cards in the letters, but notes asking for help.

Polygamy and polyandry
The girl came to Confucius with a question — what is the difference between polygamy and polyandry. The latter, after a little thought, said:
- Imagine one teapot and several cups. Would it be good to pour tea into them from it?
- Yes, Teacher, good.
— And now imagine one cup and several teapots... would it be good if you poured them into it?
- Oh, Teacher! It will be even better!
A blissful smile fell from the enlightened face of Confucius, he frowned, spat aside and said:
- Pervert… I ruined such a parable!

How did I understand?
- Grandpa, do you think I understood you correctly?
- No, granddaughter...
- Why not?
- Then - yes...
- I don't understand anything... no or yes?
— - Neither yes nor no — you understood "in your own way"... Is that clear?

The beggar and the truth
Once a beggar wanderer knocked at the house of an old man. The old man received him with love, invited him to stay the night.
— Who are you, poor man?
The beggar replied:
— I am a person who speaks the truth, so wherever I go, I am chased away.
The host was surprised, treated the guest to dinner. After eating, they went to bed. We got up in the morning and started getting dressed. The beggar saw that the old man was one-eyed, and said to his face: you are, they say, crooked.
And then the old man got angry, kicked him out of the house, saying:
— You do not find a place for yourself and have become hated by everyone, because you do not tell the truth to people, but reproach people with their shortcomings.
The truth told without love looks like an insult.

- Many people want to change the world. But the trouble is that it doesn't go beyond talking. We read Castaneda, we love Paulo Coelho, we scream at every corner about how bad everything is, but at the same time we don't try to change anything at all.
— One person or a handful is not able to change the world.
- Here. That's what everyone usually says. This is what they justify. And it seems to me that if I help at least one person, the world will change at least a little. I don't want global changes. Or rather, I want to, but I really realize that they are impossible. I just want to help those people who need this help to the best of my ability.
- It's easy to help when you have a lot of money. And if there aren't any?
— It's not about money here. If you feel bad, help someone who is even worse. And maybe then someone will help you.

As a child, I often wanted wonderful things. I probably wouldn't mind becoming a flying Tibetan yogi like Milarepa, or a sorcerer's apprentice like Carlos Castaneda and Harry Potter. I would have agreed to a simpler fate: to become a space hero, discover a new planet, or write one of those great novels that shake the human heart, forcing critics to grind their teeth and throw f***s from the bottom of their pits.
But to become a vampire... Sucking blood...

- Remember: it's stupid to waste your life on a single path, especially if he doesn't have a heart. ...Before you decide on this path, ask yourself: does he have a heart? If the answer is no, it means that it is, and we need to look for another way.
— But how can I know for sure if this path has a heart?
- Anyone can do it. The trouble is that no one asks himself this question; usually a person realizes too late that he has chosen a path without a heart when he is already on the verge of death. At this point, only very few have the strength to abandon their aspiration and move away...A path without a heart is never joyful. Already in order to reach it, you have to work hard. On the contrary, the path that has a heart is always easy: it doesn't take much effort to fall in love with it. ...When choosing a path, one must be free from fear and ambition. ...A path without a heart will turn against a person and destroy him. Little is needed to die, and to seek death is to seek nothing.

Он медленно начинает учиться — сначала понемногу, потом — большими шагами. И скоро его мысли смешиваются. То, что он узнает, никогда не оказывается тем, что он себе рисовал или вообразил, и потому он начинает пугаться. Учение всегда несет не то, что от него ожидают. Каждый шаг ученика — это новая задача, и страх, который человек испытывает, начинает безжалостно и неуклонно расти. Его цель оказывается полем битвы.😀
