Porcelain Story

I want to tell you about King Solomon. No, not even about the porcelain work that you see in front of you. It is beautiful. It is just perfect. And here I just have nothing to add. I would like to tell a little about Solomon himself, the third Jewish king, who, by the way, became famous not only for the fact that it was during his reign that the Jerusalem temple was built.

For thousands of years Solomon became famous for his wisdom. Parables, the meaning of which does not lose and will never lose its relevance. It seems to me that each of us, who was given at least once to drink from the cup of Solomon's wisdom, has no right not to share it with someone who, for some reason, has not yet been given it.

I would like to share a small passage from the parable of King Solomon, which, in my opinion, is a formula for understanding the meaning of life and the meaning of our existence in this life... To the question of the people who gathered at the foot of the mountain, from which Solomon descended after meeting the sunrise, on the way to happiness, he said this: "Happy are those who love, happy are those who give thanks... Happy are those who find paradise in themselves. Happy are those who give in joy and happy are those who receive gifts with joy. Happy are those who seek harmony. Happy are the beauties of the world who see through. Happy are those who are ready to accept happiness. Happy are the wise. Happy are those who realize themselves. Happy are those who praise life. Happy are those who create. Happy are those who are  free. Happy are those who forgive" ... There were still many questions. Having answered everything, Solomon urged people: "Live in harmony! Be yourself!" That, in fact, is all.
