Flexibility of Body and Character

I’ve noticed an interesting pattern: the flexibility of a person’s body is directly related to the flexibility of their character.

For example, I have a friend who seems like he swallowed a stick. He has a slim and straight body, but it’s difficult for him to bend, lean, or twist: his torso seems to be frozen. His character is the …

Corruption and democracy.

For many years, Kazakhstanis have been suffering from corruption in the country and demand to eradicate or at least reduce it. But all these calls are aimed only at fighting the consequences, not the causes. It’s like weeding the leaves of a weed without uprooting the root of the plant itself.

In fact, corruption is a direct consequence of the …

We were told that Uncle Sam was asleep and saw fraternal republics running to their corners, competing with each other and even feuding. It was believed that due to this, the main competitor of the USA, …

Egoism.

Human behavior is based on two basic instincts inherent in it genetically: the instinct of survival and the instinct of reproduction. These are fundamental instincts that are inherent in all living organisms existing in nature and thanks to which they have been preserved and developed.

People, as highly developed and highly organized beings, in the course of the evolution and …

Criticism.

I could never understand people who don’t accept criticism.

They get offended by any comments addressed at them; zealously watching that no one makes caustic remarks behind their back; any unflattering statement and they’re ready to pounce at you with fists or sarcastically exclaim: “Look at yourself.”

I feel sorry for these people.

To hide from criticism is like turning …

Preaching of an atheist 5. Religion as a disciplining force.

The atheist – preacher:

Long before the appearance of modern religions, certain rules of behavior had developed in human society. People wanted to live in safety and not be killed by stronger tribesmen, so there was a social agreement not to kill each other without a good reason. People wanted to protect their personal property while they were hunting or …
