Abstract (cont.): Many of these things are explained in other books and papers, yet because I am nearing my 70 I can have what to say to all of, supposedly my, descendants, and a bit of repetition (if somebody has read all my things, in what I don’t believe) does not hurt. Here I am trying to make the material interesting and palatable for all (well, for those who have inquisitive mind and don’t search only for actions and thrillers, know how to get pleasure from the mere thinking). | The letters become at the end exactly 50, I have also fixed their maximal volume to 4 of my A5 pages (a bit above 10,000 chars), or 2 folded A4 pages what seems enough to me. I will put here the very beginning of the first. || To Aaron | Subject: introduction, about the book, purpose of life, transliteration and reading of foreign words. | My dear Aaron, | I hope that it will not turn that there is some other of my descendants with name like Aaleph, or Aabee, or something, because I intend to make this letter my introductory one and all letters have to be ordered alphabetically, you know. So let me tell you of what kind they will be. Well, these /are/ letters, and you, as well also the other younger than me people, are some of my possible descendants so that it is quite natural to accept that this is really so, isn’t it? And I am going to tell you all some things that I know but you possibly don’t, because nowadays people tend to think about nothing (though, maybe, they have always been such – in order to allow to those who like to think about many things to stand out, to become famous, like me, I suppose, ah?), so that you better accept that I am your great-great-great-grandfather, who shares his (immense) wisdom with you, not much brainy adolescents (even if you have grown quite old). And the wisdom in this case has to be generally about life, how to live it reasonably, so that this has to be some life philosophy, and I want to tell this to all my readers in the beginning, because if you don’'t want to be taught (what is the usual case) then you have just to close the book (or exit from this file) and go to have some refreshing sex, I suppose. | On the other hand I want to tell you, my dear Aaron, that I don’t intend to fill your head with some special knowledge, be it from mathematics, be it from physics, or biology, or chemistry, etc., so that there will be nothing difficult to grasp, … etc. |
