♦ If a person close to you has pain in his heart, and emptiness in his soul...

People tend to make mistakes
People tend to get hurt
With a naked heart on a naked stone,
And then the wound remains
The scar remains heavy
And no love. Not a gram.
Man freezes silently
Starts to piss people off
And an icy wolf longing
Knocking at his door in the middle of the night.
He will not fall asleep again until dawn,
Will crumple cigarettes in the fingers.
You'll be waiting for an answer
To invented questions.
He won't say a word now
All he is in the thoughts of the distant somewhere.
Don't judge him harshly
Don't reproach him for it.
Do not be overly cheerful with him,
Do not teach him patience -
All the examples you know
They will be forgotten, unfortunately.
He was deafened by the excruciating pain,
From the furry misfortune of the animal.
He is longing - gray-haired from salt -
Met on a long road.
He froze. Forever? Who knows!
And there seems to be no way out
But one day he will thaw,
As nature told him.
Gradually changing colors
Imperceptibly changing rhythms
From the cold season of January
In the blue serenity of May.
You see - snakes change their skin,
You see - a bird changes feathers.
It's happiness that pain can't
In a person forever nest.
He will wake up early one day
Will break the silence like dough.
Where the wound used to hurt
It will just be a smooth place.
And then through the city to the summer
Running down the main street
Man smiles at the light
And embrace him as an equal. (Sergey Ostrovoy)

And finally, a few more good thoughts, quotes, tips about life and about life:

♦ "The essence of this lifestyle is not to build endless imaginary alternative scenarios of events happening to us and not to produce endless "could be ...", "if it were", "it's a pity that not" and "it would be more correct ". Instead, you should try to get the most out of what is here and now" Writer Vladimir Yakovlev

♦ "When you feel bad, find someone who is even worse and help him. You will feel better." How simple it sounds! But why go and help someone if I feel bad?
The wife left, the children forgot, they were kicked out of work - life is crumbling! Everything is bad. But if you find a person who needs your help, if he is worse off than you, your troubles will go aside. Dealing with the pain and problems of another person, you switch and forget about your difficulties and hardships.
Remember: negative emotions accumulate, positive ones do not. Helping others gives you positive emotions. You helped, you see: your help was needed. You could, you took part in someone else's fate. When you feel bad - find someone who is even worse, and help him - you will feel better.

♦ "Live in the present and use it to shape your future to your liking. If you don't change now, the future won't get better. If you're passive and inactive, who will help you? Ultimately, it's all up to you. If circumstances do not spoil you, do not give up, but plan, plan and plan again. Do everything in your power, and luck will come to you - it comes to everyone, to everyone who wants it. This is the law of life. And yet, do not delay for tomorrow what you can do today, God help you"

♦ "The past is already over, this thought must be accepted. There is only the present and the future that we are creating now. Therefore, the past must be understood, accepted and forgiven. Release your past from the present back to the past, there is its place" Psychologist Andrey Kurpatov (Bestseller "Happy for own will")

♦ "Just retire and list everything that you have, what you believe, remember everyone you loved and love. And remember also that there is always a huge boundless sky and the sun above your head, however, sometimes it is hidden from us by clouds, but it's temporary, and it's still there, even if you can't see it now. Think about what you have, and then you will understand what you need" Psychologist Andrey Kurpatov (Bestseller "Happy on my own")

♦ "Maybe you demand the fulfillment of your desires from life? But these requirements are also absurd, we can only rely on ourselves and do what depends on us, and the result is always a combination of many circumstances, the requirements here are meaningless. And finally , the third area where your demands can lead to unnecessary problems: maybe you are very demanding of yourself? You need to rely on yourself, not demand " Psychologist Andrey Kurpatov (Bestseller "Happy on my own")

♦ "Remember - fear loves those who look into the future instead of leaning on the present. Fear loves those who feed on dreams instead of doing what it can do under the conditions that are available on this moment. So don't wait until the situation changes, then you won't be able to do what you can do now. If you constantly behave in this way, then you will never, I emphasize, never really do anything! Psychologist Andrey Kurpatov

♦ "We are all human, and bad things happen to people. When something bad happens to you, it only proves that you are alive, because as long as you live, bad things will happen to you. Stop thinking that you are the chosen one, to whom nothing bad can happen. There are no such people, and even if they existed, who would want to communicate with them? They would be so boring. What would you talk about with them? How wonderful everything is in their lives? And would you like to hit them?"

♦ "Learn to downplay, not exaggerate your problems. For our psyche, which itself does not understand anything in this matter, it is better to hear that the problem is trifling than gigantic. And instead of thinking: "My life does not make sense" - think, that your problems are deprived of it.If we can so easily discount own life why don't we redirect our damning sting and devalue the issues that devalue our lives...?"

♦ "Not only does life affect you, but you also affect life. So consider that you were just dealt bad cards. It happens. Take the cards, shuffle them and deal yourself. It's your responsibility. Don't wait. Don't whine. Good things don't just happen.You have to make them happen.Think about how you can start living the life you always wanted to.If there isn't enough going on in your life bad events, then there is not much going on in it at all" Larry Winget ("Stop whining, keep your head up!")

♦ "This is a variant of the well-known formula that doctor Emile Coué developed for his patients: "EVERY DAY, ALWAYS AND IN EVERYTHING, MY BUSINESS IS GOING BETTER AND BETTER." Repeat this phrase aloud fifty times in the morning and evening, and during the day - as much as you can. The more often you repeat it, the stronger will be its effect on you" Fisher Mark ("Millionaire's Secret")

♦ "Never forget that life is an opportunity. This thesis may seem like a philosophical refinement, but it's true. When one thing doesn't work out for us, another one will definitely work out. As the song sang, "I'm not lucky in death, lucky in love". On all fronts without exception, life never loses. And wisdom consists in always being on the front on which the troops go on the offensive. The ability to switch is a great and necessary skill for us. If somewhere or in something you are chronically unlucky, do something else. You yourself will not notice how life is getting better on the front you left!" Psychologist Andrey Kurpatov ("5 saving steps from depression")

♦ Don't forget your family. Your parents are the only people who love you unconditionally, simply because you are. Communicate with them more often - this will not only give you energy for life and work. When dear people leave this world, they will live in your memories. Let these memories be more.

♦ Complaining about life is a waste of time. Build a conversation constructively, talk about something interesting. Your problems are not interesting to others, but to receive useful information during a conversation is much more valuable than stingy words of sympathy.

♦ There is enough grief in the world; don't exaggerate it. If you can, BE GOOD, but you can't, or you're going through hard times, then at least try not to be a complete nerd.

♦ Life is an unknown road, immeasurable length. Some traveler walks for a long time, for whom it is short. God only knows the length of the road, sending us on a worldly path, and a person walking does not know the length of his earthly life.

♦ Remember - everything passes and is constantly changing. What seems important now may turn out to be meaningless after a while. Stop focusing on problems, do something useful.

♦ "You can wait until things calm down. When the kids are older, things will get better at work, when the economy picks up, the weather gets better, your back stops hurting...
The fact is that people who are different from you and me never wait for the time to come. They know this will never happen.
Instead, they take risks and take action, even when they have no time to sleep, they have no money, they are hungry, their house is not cleaned, and it is snowing in the yard. Whenever it happens. Because the time comes every day." Seth Godin

♦ Computers eventually break down, people die, relationships fail… The best thing we can do is take a deep breath and reboot.

No matter how bad life may seem, there is always something that can be done and in which you can excel. As long as there is life, there is hope." Stephen Hawking (genius physicist)

V Ancient Greece founders ancient philosophy are considered "7 wise men". Why in quotes? Because in reality there were more wise men. There are several lists where different names appear. But the quantity is the same everywhere.

The first list that has come down to us belongs to Plato and dates back to the 4th century. BC. According to Plato in List of the Seven Wise Men there are: Thales of Miletus, Biant of Priene, Solon of Athens, Pittacus of Mytilene, Chilon of Spartan, Mison of Hene, Cleobulus of Lindia.

A later version of the list belongs to Diogenes Laertius (Laertius). No, this is not the Diogenes who lived in the barrel. Diogenes Laertia is a late antique historian of philosophy. So, in his list, instead of the little-known Mison, there is the name of the tyrant ruler Periander of Corinth. It is believed that Plato deliberately removed Periander because of his hatred of despots and tyrants. There are other lists as well. In all of them, 4 names are invariably present: Thales, Biant, Solon and Pittacus. Over time the names of the wise men overgrown with legends. So the ancient Greek philosopher Plutarch in his work "The Feast of the Seven Wise Men" described their non-existent meeting in Corinth.

Wisdom of the 7 Wise Men does not apply to mythology or science. This is rather purely worldly wisdom, set forth in concise wise statements.

Let's get to know the wise men and their great sayings.

Thales of Miletus (7th-6th centuries BC)

It is with the name of Thales of Miletus that any list of "7 Wise Men" begins. He is called the "Father of Philosophy" and is considered the first ancient scientist. In 585 BC predicted solar eclipse after which he became famous. According to legend, Thales determined the height of the pyramids by their shadow, which surprised the Egyptian pharaoh unspeakably. And after studying Egyptian geometry and their 365-day calendar, he introduced these innovations in Ancient Greece. A geometric theorem is also named after Thales. According to the teachings of Thales, everything arose and arises from water, and then turns back into water. Ultimately, everything is water.







Biant of Priene (VII-VI centuries BC)

Biant of Priene is a public figure and an ancient Greek sage. His biography is unknown. There are only a few descriptions of fragments of Biant's life. He was famous for his wise judgments.
















Solon of Athens (VII-VI centuries BC)

Solon of Athens is an ancient Greek politician, legislator, philosopher and poet. He was archon, the highest official, in Athens during social unrest. During his reign, he introduced more democratic laws: he banned debt slavery, canceled all debts, divided citizens into 4 property categories and gave everyone the opportunity to participate in political life. After his archonship, Solon devoted most of his life to travel. There is even a statue of him in the US Library of Congress.






Pittacus of Mytilene (VII-VI centuries BC)

Pittacus of Mytilene is an ancient Greek thinker and legislator. Presiding in a high position in the city of Mytilene, he suppressed intra-city riots and revised criminal laws. The Greeks revered on a par with Lycurgus and Solon.






Chilo Spartan (VI century BC)

Chilo of Sparta is an ancient Greek poet and politician. He was a member of the government board in Sparta. Some researchers believe that many of the norms of the life structure of Sparta belong to Chilo. Although he did not differ in verbosity, but the speeches delivered by him aroused respect and honor. It is said that in his old age, Chilo confessed that he had not committed a single illegal act. Only once did he ask his comrade to justify a friend who had been convicted by law.







Mison of Henei (7th-6th centuries BC)

Mison Henei is an ancient Greek sage who lived a quiet modest life in his village. The philosopher Aristoxenus believes that Mison remained unknown precisely because he was not from the city. Mison Heneisky died at the age of 97. His name in Plato's list speaks of the wisdom of his sayings.

The most famous saying of the sage Mison of Hene.


Cleobulus of Lindia (VI-V century BC)

Cleobulus of Lindia is an ancient Greek sage, famous for his riddles, songs and great sayings. He was handsome and strong. Interested in Egyptian philosophy. Some of his sayings are carved on the Delphic Temple of Apollo.










Periander of Corinth (7th-6th centuries BC)

Periander of Corinth - Ancient Greek statesman and sage. Ruled in Corinth for 40 years. Before communicating with the tyrant of the city of Miletus, Periander was very merciful. And then he became a cruel despot ruler. His policy was directed against the tribal nobility. Under him, military units of mercenaries and territorial courts were created. Periander introduced customs duties, state minting of coins, control over the income of citizens and the law against luxury. Fearing conspiracies, he forbade gatherings in groups in the squares and surrounded himself with bodyguards. Among other things, he was a fan of fine architecture, as evidenced by the extensive construction during his reign.
