I think this man has no desease to suffer from but reach imagination and high-developed sence of pity for himself. Looking through the list with deseases he immediatelly found all the symptoms in himself, he even found one illness he was born with, so he probably was analising everything from his childhood. The is one proverb "If the person is seeking for something very hard, he'll find it sooner or later, no doubt", so he found a lot=). I think he just need to take it easy and not to read such books.
As for me, actually, I don't read medical literature, I'm not watching "Malahov +". I can't remember when last time I 've been at my physician. If I catch a cold or if I have headache I can overcome it by myself. And actually, I believe that if we are afraid of some deseases or imagine we have them, we' ll have them for sure. I've never prescribed any symptoms to me.

Is sex for the sake of really good sex with no relationship commitment possible? And what`s your attitude to it?
Is platonic love the same kind of feeling and relations as freindship or is it different?
mmm...really tricky theme for discussion. I think wether to chose just sex or something more is quite individual thing, the choice of each and every person. Of course sex for the sake of sex is possible, moreover many people now prefer such relationsips avoiding any responsibilities and consequences. As for me, maybe I'm a bit conservative concerning this question, but I still think that just sex make no sence, it's a kind of moment pleasure, nothing more. For me it makes no sence without relationships, some kind of personal attitude to the person. For me pleasure of my soul is much more important than pleasure for my body.
As for platonic love it is something more than just friendship, cause the latter can appear on the ground of some common interest or something but platonic love need some kind of passion.

The book which taught me a lot.
I would like to tell you about the book I’ve read when I was about 14, then I was rarely reading anything besides school programme, and maybe that’s the reason why it impressed me a lot. It was something different and exciting for me, like a breath of fresh air. Since that time I’ve started to read for pleasure. It was a novel by Paolo Coelho “Veronika Decides to Die”. That time it seemed to me much more interesting than boring and not actual classical literature.
This story tells us about a woman, Veronika, who seems to have everything she could wish. She is young and pretty, has plenty of boyfriends, goes dancing, has a steady job, a loving family. Yet Veronika is not happy; something is missing in her life and she decides to commit suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills. This fails and she wakes up in Villette, a mental hospital. A psychiatrist tells her that she has damaged her heart and has only a few days to live… But only in the end of the book the author shows his hand: it turned out that head psychiatrist attempts an experiment. He made Veronika want to live by convincing her that death is imminent.
We follow Veronika through these concentrated days when she begins to come alive and become interested in the patients who share her life. She then realizes why her former life had no meaning. During her internment in Villete she understands that she has nothing to lose and can therefore do what she wants, say what she wants and be who she wants without having to worry about what others think of her; as a madwoman, she is unlikely to be criticized. Because of this newfound freedom Veronica at last feels hatred, fear, curiosity, and even love- all the things she never allowed herself. Veronika's experiences lead her gradually to realize that every second of existence is a choice that we all make between living and dying. This book reminds us that every moment of our lives is very precious and should be lived to the full.
This book is a kind of optimistic one and life-asserting. It reminds us that we have only one life, we shouldn’t be afraid to feel free in it, we shouldn’t watch from the sidelines on it. We should live every day, every minute, appreciate the world around us, because it is so huge and always has a pile of new things to experience, many interesting people to meet, a lot of incredible adventures and untested feelings. One more thing that came to my mind, I don’t remember who said this but, anyway, it seems appropriate for this novel: “All people die but not all of them live”.

Theodore Dreiser "An American Tragedy"
The main character, Clyde, turned out to be in a very difficult situation, he just couldn't find the right solution. He was in hopeless desperation at that moment and this dream showed him that he has no way to escape and every decision to go forward or turn back will be fatal for himself.
Actually, I believe that some people have such a flair to dream prophetically. But that's not about me. I dream rarely and usually it's doesn't make any sense. It can be situations which already took place or something I was thinking about before going to sleep. But sometimes I notice the situations called dejavu, when you the situation or just some details seems very familiar to you as you've already been there and feel it. Who knows, maybe I've been dreaming about it...

What do you think about punishment in upbringing?
Should we punish children? Is it fair? What consequences can follow? Is it possible to substitute punishment with something?
Everybody has been punished in childhood, the difference is only in the ways of punishment: somebody stood in the corner, somebody couldn’t eat sweets or play with friends for a while(that’s my case), somebody was strapped. The severity of it depended on the seriousness of the affair, parents` principles and sometimes their nervousness/state of mind.
I think that punishment is an inseparable part of upbringing, but it should be well thought-out, not to bring any harm to the child. It should be a lesson, but not the cruel one, it shouldn’t effect both his/her physical or psychic state. Punishment always should be fair, otherwise, it can lead to still worse affairs. Upbringing is rather delicate process, such punishments as one depicted in “Jane Ayer” can leave unforgettable fears in person’s mind for the whole life. So, adults should be very careful, thinking of possible punishments for their children and never to forget that they are only kids, they just learn how to behave.

Music pieces
Among offered three pieces of music I like the first one more; it corresponds to my inner state now. It is quite, clear, light and heart-warming. It doesn’t irritate, it is a nice piece to relax during listening. I can imagine sunny morning, when you are still in bed, but you already feel warm, tender spring sunrays playing on your face, you can hear long-expected birds` singing and it is a pleasure to open your eyes and meet this wonderful day.
If I go to a deserted island I’d probably take two rather different pieces of music. One would be energetic, that’d help me to wake up in the morning, feel active and be positive. Right now it is the song by Lady Gaga “Just Dance”. Unfortunately I become bored too fast with this kind of music, so after my imprisonment I would hate this song till the end of time, I suppose. And the second piece would be lyric, calm, relaxing, a bit romantic maybe. With this kind of music I’m more constant, so it is quite difficult to choose one, perhaps “Strangers in the night” by Frank Sinatra or “Fragile” or “Desert Rose” by Sting.
