A new reality - without passions, shortcomings, weaknesses and without mistakes. A philosophical sketch.
Sergei Sergeyevich was - to some extent - careful.
A typical example. In his student days he walked along the street. A man comes up to him and says: 'I am selling a cassette recorder for five kopeks! I really need money!' The cost of a tape recorder, for example, is 100 rubles. It's clear that the purchase is profitable, but a little a slippery variant ...
Sergei Sergeyevich did not buy. Friends, having learned about his too cautious behavior, were amazed: "Show us this man with a cheap tape recorder! We will buy!!!" ...
Meanwhile, a drop by a drop, a drop by a drop, from various sources were pouring out a stories about wonderful old coins that cost a lot of money. If you are a lucky person who acquired such a coin, then you have become one of the wealthy people.
Time went forward. In time and space, two processes crossed simultaneously. Sergei Sergeyevich began to publish something on the Internet. And on the streets, among all the rubbish, began to sell different coins.
Having succumbed to weakness, Sergei Sergeyevich bought once on the street a coin - for twenty-five rubles. The coin itself cost, for example, a ten kopeks - but it seemed unusual, although it was made of copper and nickel.
The profitability of this purchase was doubtful. But this act was interesting. Because it showed a vector of interest, it showed a weakness, a human interest.
About a month later in some network store Sergei Sergeyevich bought bread. Among the racks with buckwheat and frozen products, he was approached by a visitor from one of the southern neighboring countries and offered to buy silver coins from him. (The fact that this person is a a visitor from one of the southern neighboring countries, he or himself mentioned, or somehow it was visible... It seems that something was said about the airport? .. About the problems with the inspection? ...).
Sergei Sergeyevich became interested (a weakness to coins he demonstrated... again...): "Show me!"
He showed. It seems to be silver, antique? !! Yes, this is a enormous wealth !!!
Traded - traded, and, as a result, Sergei Sergeyevich bought four coins for 2000 rubles (total price). The store Sergei Sergeyevich had to leave without purchases (there was no the other money then at that moment). But with the coins.
A little later, Sergey Sergeyevich took these coins and came to where the 'metals' are being bought. They looked at the coins indifferently, even with a kind of squeamishness. It turned out that these coins have no special value.
No benefit! Nonsense! ...
In addition, all the stalls of Soyuzpechat were filled with a similar coins. They can be bought without any difficulty... But what for?!!
The untwisted interrelation between mysterious ancient coins and sudden wealth turned out to be zilch, to be a zero!
There is another curious moment. One of the intellectual the capital (Moscow) radio stations fulfilled an excavations in archives, found a criminal case from a pre-revolutionary history with a person with a similar surname - as if that person stole something, and broadcasted this archival case on the air.
A surprising coincidence.
(Even if you do not take into account the possibility of a partial discrepancy in the spelling of surnames, and proceed from the complete similarity of surnames, then ... In people with the corresponding surname, there could be not only everything positive ... A radio chatter is a radio chatter ...).
Still, an amazing coincidence!
However, we will return to the moment of purchase of coins.
Returning home, Sergey Sergeyevich found that weakness towards coins was replaced by signals of caution.
Something 's wrong here.
He did not look such a wealthy person, and also the purchase-sale of coins in a network supermarket under CCTV cameras - some inappropriate and strange process.
And how did these coins come to the seller? He did not mention the method of acquisition.
But situation muddy. Nothing is worth (according to the algorithm) to strap the coin buyer to any unpleasant story.
For a while Sergey Sergei avoided buying bread in the same supermarket...
Time passed, and a stream of time had taken away (to somewhere) (of) the seller of silver coins ...
And Sergey Sergeyevich, reading the Internet, understood that a new time had come - WITHOUT PASSIONS, WITHOUT SHORTCOMINGS, WITHOUT INTEREST, WITHOUT WEAKNESSES AND WITHOUT MISTAKES.
Who has interest, shortcomings, weaknesses - whether they are coins, whether they are girls from an Ural city, or what others - those are like a midges crawling on glass. Someone can to click with his finger...
And a coins seem to continue to be sold in the stalls of "Soyuzpechat."
Remembering the ridiculous story with the purchase of coins, Sergey Sergeyevich turns away, passing by these extraordinary opportunities to enrich himself ...
