This part contains a chronological continuation of the records of statements I heard and read, which I wanted to keep in my memory. The collection contains wise and other thoughts that I have heard or read over fifty years of my life. Some entries differ from the original or are given without indicating the author. In some cases, the names of the people from whom these words were heard are given. By this I wanted to pay tribute to the memory of these people whom I encountered in life, and who had a certain influence on the course of my life, for which I am grateful to them. Thoughts sometimes contradict one another, but this does not mean that there is no worldly wisdom. It all depends on the circumstances and the position of the speaker. This is the wisdom of using the most appropriate one in specific circumstances, and this is what the epigraph to the second part speaks about. The notes track the changes and transformations not only of my views, but also transformations in society and the world around me, of which there were plenty. Only those thoughts were recorded that were striking in their accuracy and corresponded to my likes and preferences. On the cover there is the same tree, but a different time of year. Everything is like in life. I remembered the theme of oak in L. Tolstoy’s novel “War and Peace”. The seasons for oak are the same periods of human life. Disappointment and rebirth, sadness and joy, circumstances change a person’s inner world, a reassessment of life values occurs. The tree symbolizes man and his path to spiritual heights, the cycles of life, death and rebirth.
