Andrey Bondarev: “You are not born a watchman, you become one.”
It looks like people have a tendency to build their lives from scratch. At a certain point in his life, when he has made good money, bought several cars, built an apartment, Andrey Bondarev realized that he did not get happier… Time, like sand between fingers, was running away. Nothing good was happening. For seven years he was paying his employees, managed 15 workers at a company that was installing steel doors. In other words, like it is usually said in biographical documents, he “went all the way from a simple manager up to a head of production”. If only you, ladies and gentlemen, knew how sad it can be to work from the sunrise to the sunset, and then count these little American papers, so loved by many, on your payday; only to realize that the time is ticking and passing by something very important. Andrew lost his interest in living like everybody else. He was born, got education, got married, got divorced, drank, had something to eat, went to the doctor, got promoted… Then looked in the mirror – gray hair and a lot of wrinkles on the face. And at the end neighbors would say “Yes, he was a good man”. And that ' s it . Here he is – beloved stereotype.
It is important to understand yourself; who you are; why did you come to this strange world and how was it created; and how and why would you die.
Andrey Bondarev realized that what is happening inside his soul is far more important and more interesting than all the vanity around your body and your material greedy “ego”. People in the new economic conditions lean towards own pleasure and satiation . How many people now go to museums and art exhibitions? And who are these people? Very few of them are “new masters of their lives”. People are in a hurry; they do their shopping, push each other around, argue, and step on each others feet on a bus. If asked “when was the last time you went hiking, in the woods?” people would only shrug their shoulders.
That is how we live – in a soot of morning hatred, with a fear of tomorrow, with a fear of being condemned by others. How about walking barefoot on dew? And how about looking at the stars at night? How about smiling another time? And being not like everybody else. If you want to create – go ahead – create!
Live in harmony with yourself, with nature, with neighbors and everything is going to be alright. And don ' t forget about the sky …
Until now considers…
Andrey Bondarev
