ADVICE ON
 MAN'S AGES

     According to biologists, complete set of human body cells is changing every seven years. So, seven years old boy is absolute stranger to new born baby of the same name, who was born seven years ago, no one cell have survived! Kind of mini-death, I suppose!
     Seven years period seems exactly a cycle in one's life. Human male is a boy until 7, adolescent until 14, young man until 21, he is in his best as a lover at 28 (that what doctor's say!), he is preferred by employer before aged 35. 35 is also an age for quitting a sport, few champions have survived in sport after 35. Reaching 35 man is then usually declining. Few geniuses or bandits live longer after 35, it also an age of business managers, working fathers, age of family and society. Woman at 35 is finished for sexual life, she only can stay a training ground for adolescents lust. (Poor women!) Until age of 70 man is usually dead. It's rare, if man lives longer than ten times per seven years. My father is going to be 83 in March. God help him to live longer, but we are long-lived brat. My grandmother Vera died at 98, so, I still have a time, maybe not less than quarter of a century to live, but with my lifestyle you never know, I might be killed by a bullet.
     Anyway, a seven years is a sacred cycle. Society, of course, is spoiling biological ages of man. In order to kill completely young man's aggressivity, society have prolonged an age of learning unnecessarily. Schooling is prolonged until 21 or 22, takes about 14 or 15 years. Schooling's purpose is not learning actually, but breaking man. As they break us every day, they also stuff our heads with garbage of so-called knowledge: mathematics, algebra, chemistry, physics, all that shit. Jesus, never ever during all my life I have used that stuff what they pumped in my brain, why schooling me! Those so-called "knowledges" are no use in real life. What they do, that fucking society, they are stealing at least a seven best years of you, from 14 until 21. It's time to fuck, to fight, to enjoy sunshine, to drink, to swim, instead of sitting in stupid classroom. I remember that our pants behinds been shining on our asses of poor school children.
     Actually in our age of television huge part of learning is done when we watch television, those fucking medieval schools should be demolished. All the learning should be done until 14, including high education. Children can go to school at 5, and get out at 14. Then, they would receive a right to vote, they can go into life. Seven years would be saved.
     I am repeating: seven years is a sacred cycle. I have arrived to Moscow on September 30, 1967, a young man coming to conquer Moscow. I left for the Vienna day by day seven years later on September 30, 1974. I lived in United States about 6-1/2 years, I lived in France from 1980 until 1994, exactly 14 years, two cycles. That is my personal arithmetic. Every seven years something is happening with a man, only one should listen carefully what Nature is says to you. Nature says: "It's time for changing, go ahead, change yourself, move somehow, do something different, go to war, have a new profession, quit your old wife, get yourself a young girl... change a country." If you don't follow the Nature's demand, you will have cancer-ridden cells, heart attacks, you will get AIDS, sickness will overpower your body.
     If you follow Nature's voices (of course I am hearing voices, what do you think!) advices, you can break some laws of Nature. Life for you will be perfect after 35. I wrote my first novel, "It's Me, Eddie", when I was 33. At 37 I moved to Paris, I went to my first war at 48, I celebrated my fiftieth birthday in Kninskaya Kraina (Serbian enclave in Croatia) by firing from Russian-made heavy gun at Croatian Army headquarters... I don't advice my life as a model for everybody, but some may like it, as example.
     Once in Paris, at cocktail party, I spoke to famous French detective writer Leo Mallet (the "father" of Nestor Burma, his hero, few movies been made about his adventures). He was about 80 at the time. Right wing anarchist Leo Mallet was an energetic, dry old man. At the moment when I approached him he was talking to Milen Demonjo (actress of "Fantomas", you remember!). What was the best time of your life? -asked I. Leo Mallet give me unusual answer: "My fifties years. I had an experience of life and was still physically strong. I wrote as a mad, I achieved success, I fucked young women, attracted by my success..." The face of right-wing anarchist was shining with happiness. Then he added: "In my young years I was unhappy, confused and shy. I don't like my youth."
     So, listen to voices, man.
