To say ‘I love you’ one must first know how to say the ‘I.’ The meaning of the ‘I’ is an independent, self-sufficient entity that does not exist for the sake of any other person. A person who exists only for the sake of his loved one is not an independent entity, but a spiritual parasite. The love of a parasite is worth nothing.

Я не делал никакой оценки этой собственности. Я предоставил это горному инженеру. Он не очень хороший специалист, но ему очень нужна была работа. Разве не общепринято, что когда нанимаешь человека на работу, то прежде всего нужно принимать во внимание его потребности, а не то, какой он специалист?
