A story-parable about what, perhaps, for many people will seem like just the weakness of another person, and the reluctance to live a “normal” life? – about people who, due to current circumstances (or many other reasons that cannot be listed, due to their differences in form and content), begin to take drugs that change a person’s consciousness. The purpose of the parable is not to prove something or make unambiguous statements (for this topic, for discussion, undoubtedly requires a more in-depth analysis than the brief narrative in this parable), but an attempt is made to indicate the author’s opinion on points that, due to their obviousness (in the author’s opinion), will help people make decisions in moments of difficult choice.
