- To you a student. He says that they agreed with you from Univer. Skip?

Vladimir had been sitting in his office chair for two hours and could not begin to fulfill his duties. Piles of papers were waiting for him on the table. There are draft government resolutions, reports of subordinate institutions, reports and other printed evidence of the importance of the work that his department performs. Vladimir, as a true official, piously believed in the necessity and irreplaceability of his work. He always worked, or rather served, not for fame and money - but for conscience. His favorite historical characters were Bestuzhev and Stolypin. True patriots and reformers. “The paper serves for itself, and then for Russia, and I, on the contrary! I first for Russia, and then for myself! ”- Vladimir often quoted the second part of this expression of Bestuzhev’s screen image performed by the incomparable Evgeny Evstigneev.

Vanity. How we demons love this vice! He is so seemingly harmless and very imperceptible. "Do not make yourself an idol!". It is difficult for a person to believe in his viability and importance, originality and uniqueness. Just by the fact of birth and being. Not! He needs others, like him, to appreciate him, recognize his peculiarity and preferably superiority. It seems there is nothing bad in that, to be like a hero, try to be like him in deeds and deeds. But it only seems that way. After all, the hero has become what a person sees or perceives, in those conditions and situations that will never happen again. Never. To strive to resemble an idol, to think with his thoughts, with his criteria, and to try to live using his world view is the same as repeating the flight of Yu. A. Gagarin. It's impossible! Because even if you fly into space, you will obviously not be called the First Cosmonaut. Because there is already a first cosmonaut.

But a person diligently searches for landmarks for himself, tries to look like someone, conform to fashion, not to go beyond. Because he is so comfortable. To be like everyone else and strive for what has already proved its success. Vanity helps us demons to force very gifted and talented people to mark time, to go in the wrong direction. After all, the real discoveries and breakthroughs are made just by those who do not want to be like anyone else, who do not like anyone else. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Perelman, Zuckerberg and other personalities of modern times who created the real new universes - whom they wanted to be like?

The pathetic homeless man, guided by angels, thwarted my plans to destroy a pure soul, but, as always, I have another option. And exactly today there will be a combination of two fates into one. Behind the cabinet door, worried and worried about the upcoming interview, was Valeria. The first successful journalistic experience inspired her, but did not add much confidence. It's one thing to be in the office of a fashion designer, and quite another in such a serious and somewhat frightening state institution. There is only a door in height of almost three meters. And as soon as they do not get tired to open them?

Vladimir was suddenly delighted with this news. In the bustle of new events for him, he completely forgot about the anniversary of his Univer. I forgot about this consent to an interview for a student newspaper. His thoughts were busy debriefing his family life. For several days his confessor has been trying to bring peace and tranquility into his soul. He does not say what he needs to do, does not instruct in worldly affairs, but very skillfully appeals to his conscience. Vladimir no longer feels terrible hatred of his wife. He no longer dreams of killing her and cutting her into pieces. He cares little about the fate of this woman.He is more concerned about himself. Vladimir is trying to figure out why it is so easy to succumb to the temptation, jealousy and feelings of revenge? He was always confident in his spiritual strengths and convictions. But it was enough for God to send him a trial and now - he is almost a criminal and his soul has a guaranteed ticket in business class to hell.

- Yes, skip it, please!

Vladimir watches the door open and a real “angel in the flesh” flutters in his office. The girl came in so gracefully and easily, she was dressed so brightly and beautifully, while she herself possessed incredible beauty of body shape and face lines that Vladimir, like a real man, was delighted. He even got up from the table and went to meet Valeria.

- Hello! My name is Valeria, I am a student ...

- Hello Hello! I know, I know. Very nice to meet you.

Valeria is confused and flattered. Vladimir turned out to be quite different from the image that she managed to create in her imagination while she was going to an interview. In her thoughts he was small, plump, with glasses and bald. The man who met her was stately, quite tall, with a beautiful face and insanely attractive eyes. And his voice made the girl tremble. She suddenly thought that this official looked like James Bond.

- I have to, oh! Sorry. I was asked to ask you about your life and work. We have an anniversary ...

- I know! Let's sit down on the sofa, and we'll talk with you.

They sat down and began to communicate. Valeria expected that it would be difficult to talk to a man of that rank. She made a list of questions in advance and wrote them down on a piece of paper. But she did not need it. Vladimir immediately took the initiative in conversation and led her very naturally and easily. Valeria did not even notice how the conversation from the person of Vladimir passed on to herself. She did not even understand how it happened that she tells this adult, influential and status person about her problems. The man so clearly showed his interest in her stories, feelings and experiences of the girl, that Valeria revealed to him more and more of her personal secrets.

It seemed that they were not in the office of the big boss now, but in the train compartment. The freedom of communication of this level is possible only between casual companions with whom you will never see again and with very close and close people. Why a person is not capable of openness and honesty in communicating with another person? Competition! Millions of years in the struggle for food sources and safety, man has always helped man. One member of a tribe is always divided with another, because the more strong and healthy relatives in the tribe, the greater the chance of survival for each. To resist the invasion of strangers is easier when the tribe is more numerous. Killing a stranger is a must, as the smaller the enemy, the greater the chances for the survival of your tribe.

For millions of years, mankind lived according to these principles, and everything was measured and habitual. But gradually mutations brought the human brain to a new stage of development. Inquisitiveness of thinking, creative consciousness and logic have turned man into the most adapted creature for life on Earth. The parable about Adam and Eve, the expulsion from Eden, the apple, etc., is well known to everyone. And it is about the rebirth of human consciousness. What happens in the Bible at the moment Adam and Eve eat an apple actually took millions of years. Hundreds of thousands of generations of primitive people passed through stages of the development of intelligence in microscopic steps. Another very long time the human brain arrived in the "heavenly" state. For him there was no evil and good. Everything was natural and correct. The man killed to survive, multiplied, so that the tribe grew and did not care about any experiences and passions. No one fell in love, no one worried about the dead deer, not crying because of the killing of children from a hostile tribe. On the soul of a man was calm. He lived according to the laws and rules that applied to all the inhabitants of the planet Earth.

Just imagine, because you have a man, you still have a tail! Yes Yes! The tailbone that periodically hurts when you sit for a long time is the tail. You don’t need this little anachronistic object at all. Totally! And no longer needed for a long time! You do not use it to keep balance while running and climbing trees, you do not protect them with your anal and vaginal ...
