I want to repeat for myself. I'll start from the very beginning.
It’s okay for a person to do what they want, as long as it doesn’t harm anyone or anything. It is normal for him to have food and shelter. It only seems simple, it is important to learn to understand your desires and fears, but this is difficult. Well, it’s expensive to get food and shelter on your own, it’s easier together. But it turned out to be difficult to negotiate with each other, because not everyone understood their desires and fears.
So far, there has not been such a way that everyone would do what they want and at the same time not suffer without food and shelter. Those ways that we found, if you think about it, are quite strange. This, of course, is important, who the person's parents are, where he was born, with whom he lives - this affects desires and fears. But this does not define everything. In general, it is normal to live where you want, with whom you want and how you want.
It so happened that it is easier for people to agree on a way of life where they were born. So they formed states. And some states were able to organize themselves in such a way that many people manage to live normally there. But there are no such states that everyone would feel good at all. Because it doesn't always work out. But some began to believe that it was so important to directly arrange the right state that it was normal to lie and harm other people for this. No. Here I am trying to gently formulate, but here immediately and definitely not.
At this point, everything is clear to me. I know that there are many difficult situations for different people and I won’t undertake to explain to everyone directly who is right and who is wrong. If I know that a person is trying to understand his desires and fears, I am ready to communicate with him. But if I feel that he is lying to himself, lying to me, then I consider this abnormal and we will not be able to agree on anything.
I decided that I would help those about whom I understood that they were striving for a normal life, and I would try not to have common affairs with those who harm and lie.
I thought I could easily do without fairy tales. I haven't read anything like this myself since childhood,
and I learned a lot more interesting stories, which means they will be interesting to my child, I thought.
It's even good that I was wrong, such arrogance should be punished.
After several unsuccessful attempts to put my son to sleep, telling him the myths of ancient Greece and scientific theories
why the sky blue, I began to tell him from memory what was left in my head from "Kolobok" and "Chicken Ryaba" - and the effect was.
Suddenly, all these strange incomprehensible "scrape on the sousek", "not golden, but simple", polished by centuries of euthanizing children began to acquire a more lively meaning.
As a philologist, I suddenly became interested in how the living magic of these words works.
Maybe they have some specific visual quality, maybe phonetically they sound more adequate...
Well, the most interesting thing began for me when my little Lion began to try to tell stories himself. From the outside, it's probably especially funny to watch,
how my wife and I recognize the plots of fairy tales and "Winnie the Pooh" in our son's two and a half words and constant grunting. Or how he waits in the "Kolobok" for the word he ate
to loudly say his "Am!" Words from fairy tales became the first words of my child, as, probably, they were my first words once.
On an intuitive level, I understand that storytelling has its own rules and laws. And it's great that we have come closer than ever to understanding them.
I am, in fact, doing this festival for myself, because it is important for me to understand and master these laws right now.
Here, perhaps, it is appropriate to rephrase a recent joke that as a child you read fairy tales, then grow up and do not read, and then read again.
Anyway, it all came back to the fairy tale again. I did not leave my grandmother and grandfather.
