From the author: It is naive to imagine that good and evil go at each other, like two armies with unfurled banners. In fact, good does not fight and win. It shines on everyone and sticks more willingly to the side of the vanquished. And what fights is always involved in evil. Pomerantz Grigory Solomonovich Once upon a time there was a mother and her adult daughter in the same city. And it so happened that the mother was already quite middle-aged and seriously ill, and the daughter had no choice but to leave past problems aside and begin to help and take care of this unwise and middle-aged woman. There are mothers who are revered. And there are those from whom everyone runs away in horror. This mother was just the second type: she had a whole ocean of energy, but she never learned to control it. And this ocean of energy often generated a tsunami, the huge waves of which washed away all close people from her life one after another, until the last close person was washed away. But there were also people in the life of this ocean woman who fled in horror. And this daughter, who was now caring for her middle-aged mother, was also once washed away by a wave of enormous force and thrown far away for many years. She suffered greatly, for many years she healed numerous wounds and forgave her mother-ocean. I let go of the past for a long time and finally forgave completely so as not to carry this pain in my soul. Such a stormy life is not in vain. And my mother changed over the years. Her life was not going well, she dreamed of something better, but her calculations turned out to be wrong. Everything went wrong, but she will never admit it to anyone. At first she was irritated, and then, under the weight of loneliness, she became very angry. And evil people are rarely silent. And either years of loneliness, or age, or something else, but her speech became an expression of her failed life. She used various unkind words for so long and often that the good ones were all forgotten. Her daughter found her in this state, cautiously approaching her after many years of separation. And although they say that the apple does not fall far from the tree, every rule has its exceptions. In this story, the daughter was the complete opposite of her mother. It happens. Fate can beat a person, but the humanity cannot be knocked out of him. And now these two such different women find themselves in the same time and space: the mother-ocean, who is filled with evil, and the daughter, who does not fight with anyone and knows what is in the depths there is no existence of evil. And this is where the fun begins. Mom will accidentally drop something from her hands and immediately scream at her daughter. And the young lady then says to her calmly, slowly and with respect: “Mom, you are the eldest woman in our family, the wisest, we take your example, we look up to you.” you, you are a lady and such words do not suit you at all.” What was this daughter counting on if she herself did not believe that her mother was capable of hearing someone and changing? The daughter knew that the famous phrase about the fact that the grave will correct the hunchback is about people like her mother. However, there are such exceptional stories where people do something important because they treat the process in a special way, not formally and do not think about the fact that no one has achieved the result before them. A fairy tale is told quickly, but the work is not done quickly and through For some time, my mother again used her traditional weapon of ugly words and rude intonations. And the daughter again used her usual scenario as last time: about the head of the family, about the example that everyone takes from her, about the lady, etc. And so they lived, the mother continued to say these unpleasant words, and the daughter calmed down , respectfully and from the heart lovingly repeated her modeling phrases. And then one day something went wrong with my mother. As usual, she cursed angrily, seasoning it with typical bilious intonations, and froze in fear. And the daughter is right there, again next to her mother, sitting on the “shore of the ocean and listening to the new sound of the waves.” So this daughter immediately noticed that although her mother’s words were the same, the elder’s reaction was somewhat new. And then the daughter changed the record to another one, for a special occasion. The daughter saw that her mother was trying, but she wasn’t succeeding yet, she needed!
