00:00:02.113 --> 00:00:06.600
Leisure time. No matter how much of it we have,

00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:09.600
for some it is never enough,

00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:14.000
while others don't know what to do with it.

00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:20.000
It is not rare to see groups
loitering about in the streets,

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.000
not knowing what to occupy themselves with.

00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:29.519
Karl Marx said that time is the wealth of society.

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:35.819
How can they so senselessly squander this treasure

00:00:35.819 --> 00:00:38.319
and thus impoverish their lives?

00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:44.716
"The Metal and Furniture
Academy invented a lathe

00:00:44.716 --> 00:00:49.716
for cutting even surfaces. It is still used in production."

00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:54.720
And these boys studying
in a professional-technical school

00:00:54.720 --> 00:01:01.959
proudly demonstrate their inventions
at an exhibition of technical creative work.

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.360
... nature, cultural monuments,
the glories of our people.

00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:15.291
Sasha, Oleg, Lyuba ... such graffiti are a sign

00:01:15.291 --> 00:01:21.291
of a lack of spirituality, poverty of the soul.

00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:27.822
"Veshchism" (thing-ism) - this word appeared not
long ago, in its essence it also means vulgarity,

00:01:27.822 --> 00:01:30.971
egoism, striving for personal well-being,

00:01:30.971 --> 00:01:33.971
chasing after material things,

00:01:33.971 --> 00:01:36.971
a desire to possess them no matter what.

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.000
The world of people for whom objects have
acquired the meaning of their very selves,

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:50.851
replacing spritual life, creativity, friendship, social
intercourse and love is as distorted as a crooked mirror.

00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:58.559
"You can possess anything as long as
nothing possesses you," said the ancients.
