What is the difference between love and the bed?
Wise Man:
Imagining speaking, love is lunch, and the bed is dinner. Logically, breakfast is falling in love (the pillow). Still, there are cases when a person keeps an extraordinary fast (not a light or super-fast one) and drinks only water, temporarily transforming into a starfish.

What is a dream?
Wise Man:
A dream is a sign from God about what Paradise and Hell might be like, where either an angel visits or the devil, but in any case, the angel behaves modestly.
An inexperienced fisherman goes to the river to catch trout and notices that the trout are swimming against the current.
He says to himself, I'll go upstream to the river’s source; all the trout must be gathered there. I could even catch them with a ladle.
He then goes to the river’s source and sees that there isn't a single trout there.
Female Reporter:
In your opinion, is health stronger than illness?
Wise Man:
Health is stronger when protected with wisdom, love, and moderation in wine. For example, after an earthquake (after getting married), a damaged building can be reinforced (like what angels do) from the foundation (lifting the building) and rebuilt so that it becomes even stronger than before. In other words, this process is called resurrection.

What about the Armenian proverb, "Where there's bread, there live"?
Wise Man:
There is some truth in those words because, in the case of a state, bread is a result that has components: wood, meaning the house must also be dry and warm, and the yard dog must be clean. Bread is a consequence of justice; if justice and high-quality creative work prevail in a country, then there will be bread, wood, and if there's a war, then there must be a plan and a desire for victory. On the battlefield, a piece of bread can be considered wealth; that is, the value of bread is not in quantity.
Female Reporter:
Why do women prefer rich men?
Wise Man:
Women prefer rich men because they try to take the initiative (to get rich), which women perceive as a sign of courage.
