Late Evening Thoughts

Life is a strange thing .. Why are we here? I am amazed … Peace … We often see death, betrayal, hatred, envy. Friends become enemies, enemies become friends, we fall in love, whirling in the wind with dreams in a whirlpool, enticing and alluring. Crowds of brutal people on the streets of the city, who have lost themselves in this life, do not know where to fly, towards what goals. And, in contrast, a lonely man gazing into the distance on the bank of a cliff. He is surrounded by the rising air, and a faint, inconspicuous smile wanders on his face… He knows.

Just life? Life is a chance to create something original in a world full of dull repetitions, to discover something at the junction of seemingly incompatible sciences, to please friends with new achievements. Give happiness in your creation to people, bring a drop of goodness, illuminate hearts. And you know … It doesn’t matter what others say — your life is in itself, although we perfectly understand that we are connected with each other … A kind of wave-particle dualism, in which everyone is a particle, with its own properties, characteristics , and at the same time we are a wave, and God alone knows where we are flying, where we are rushing, towards what … And sometimes, there comes a moment, two waves coincide in frequencies (this might happen, isn’t it?), and two problems remain — phase shift — are we compatible? — and amplitudes — how much one includes the other and vice versa, what is the interaction. Maybe that’s the way it is … And as the life is a wave, we are the wave…
