K-F "Gentlemen of Fortune"
Scabbyness as a personality quality is the tendency to infect other people with your worst qualities; to show oneself as an insignificant, nasty, disgusting, bad and trashy person.
Roadside cafe. A truck driver comes in and orders meat. Then three bikers burst into the cafe and take the trucker’s order. The trucker pays the waitress and leaves. The waitress approaches the bikers, and one of them says to her: - Goat! He doesn't even know how to stand up for himself! Waitress: - Yes, he also drives lousy! I just left the parking lot and crushed three motorcycles...
A lousy person is a lousy person. Like a sent Cossack, he can as soon as possible spoil and disintegrate the healthiest team. Hence the proverb about a black sheep that can spoil the entire flock. Scabby - literally, “scabby, mangy,” that is, covered with purulent scabs from which other sheep become infected. All you can take from a black sheep is a scrap. A clump is a piece, a bundle of something. Meaning: take at least what you can take, if you can’t get more. They speak with disrespect about someone from whom they do not expect to receive anything worthy. An example from the literature: “Two and a half months later, Vladimir Ilyich arrived at the place of exile, in the village of Shushenskoye, and received a notice from the Yenisei governor that he would be given eight rubles a month for maintenance, clothing and an apartment (“from a black sheep, even a tuft of wool” , - said Vladimir Ilyich), and sat down to work (N. Virta, “Evening Bells”).
Scab is scary because it is contagious, it is instantly transmitted, and the entire team becomes infected: from the cleaning lady to the boss. For example, a sycophant and a slanderer come to the team in one person. He instantly becomes a favorite with his boss, who, as practice has shown, likes it when people flatter him and fawn over him. And now in the team, whispering, whispering, baiting, persuading and slander are already in favor. It was as if people had been replaced. Nobody trusts anyone. The trust in the relationship disappeared, as if someone had suddenly thrown it into the trash. Everyone for themselves. Everyone is tense, angry and secretive. A few months, and the team is doomed if the black sheep is not removed from it.
A black sheep will appear in a decent class, and by the end of the seventh grade there is not a single virgin or virgin, everyone smokes and drinks, and some of the “advanced students” are already drug addicts.
A lousy person has a lousy character. Exact composition negative traits No one will give you a lousy character. In each specific case this manifests itself individually. It happens that lousiness is based on deceit, slander, betrayal and perfidy. It happens - on deceit, meanness and insignificance. It happens through flattery, servility, vileness and groveling. In short, it’s different every time. One thing is important, to know the qualitative feature of lousiness: something terribly crappy and negative in a person is transmitted to others at the speed of an epidemic.
How should you live so that the scab does not become a member of your family? Philosopher Oleg Torsunov claims that out of stupidity we find not the best, but the lousiest, in our spouses. We think that we can find good things for ourselves. We don't find it. Then we don’t know how to get rid of it. How to determine whether a person has found a person for himself or whether fate has given him one? Fate always gives the best. And a person finds himself the most disgusting, the most lousy.
One ancient scripture says: “In the spring, restless jackals prowl in search of a male, ready to copulate with the most lousy and wounded, just as women, deprived of paternal or husband’s care, destroy themselves in casual relationships.”
When a woman finds a man, he is usually married, and he begins to torment her and does not let her go. Fate punishes: you don’t need to look for anyone, you need to become the kind of woman who is worthy of a man, and he will find himself. Because Higher power They are watching our every move. They know what we need to give. And when it's time for us to give, they know. Something valuable in life is obtained through hard work. And if you want faster, please, no problem. Everything is cheap, it is correspondingly lousy. You can't buy good things cheap. It will be fake. Family life the same. Therefore, by drawing the image of your future husband, his construction, you are building an illusion that will never come true because, truly, a person must build a construction within himself. And then everything outside will reflect your life. If you want to look at your destiny, look around you at those people who are very close to you, and you will see your destiny. If you are surrounded by people who deceive you, are angry with you, swear at you, then this is who you are.
If you have become a pure, elevated person, people change, their attitude towards you changes, everything around you becomes different. It means you have changed. It's very easy to understand who you are by who you surround yourself with. If you want something else to surround you, it is not created artificially. We can try to do this, but nothing works. We find ourselves a person, first with this a man walks honeymoon, everything is great, and then clouds gather, the situation becomes even worse than before. It's terrible to change someone in life, to try to change someone in order to become happier. Meeting a lousy person then leads to big problems in life, in terrible unpredictable situations.
The lousy little bunny fell in love with all the animals in the forest. The animals decided to take revenge on him. They gathered and surrounded him... The hare had nowhere to go, and he crawled into a hole. The animals surrounded the hole. - Oblique, get out! - I won’t get out, you’ll beat me! - Of course we will! - And you’re not ashamed? You are all so big... And I am so small! And all for one? The animals looked at each other, and they really felt ashamed. There are a lot of them, and some lousy little hare is trembling in the hole... - Okay, hare, come out, we won’t touch you. - I won’t get out. There is a lion among you, he will eat me! - Don’t be afraid, he won’t eat you! - No, he will eat it! If you want me to get out, tie the lion tightly, and hide away... - Well, okay, hare, have it your way... The animals tied the lion tightly, and went home. As soon as the last animal disappeared in the distance, the hare crawled out of the hole and, trembling, approached the lion. Leo: - What, you bastard, are you trembling! Scary? Not really! For the first time in his life, the lousy bunny will fuck the king of beasts! I'm shaking with excitement!
Peter Kovalev
Andrey’s neighbor in the country, a young guy named Sasha, a professional football player, told a funny story.
The bottom line is that when he was studying at a sports school, there were two football coaches. Each coach prepared his team. The guys called their mentors Gavrilych and Sanych. Both coaches, they said, adhered to the German model of football, which, in their opinion, consisted of harsh discipline. Each player on the field had to act strictly according to the instructions of the coach. Improvisations were not allowed and were strictly suppressed.
The guys wanted to improvise and play more individually. Sasha was especially persistent in this desire. Sasha trained with Gavrilych. During discussions, he allowed himself to argue with the coach and suggested trying solo breakthroughs by dribbling the opponent. The idols of Sasha Messi and Ronaldo were bright individuals and played in an original way.
Sasha, without receiving permission from the coach for individual breakthroughs, still acted recklessly in some games, dribbled, rushed into the free zone, when, according to the coach’s instructions, he had to play a long pass, pass the pass to the nearest player. Sometimes he succeeded and even managed to score a goal several times.
However, this did not shake Gavrilych’s views on how football should be played. He thought that Sasha was spoiling team play, and he kicked Sasha out of the team.
The guys sympathized with Sasha, but were sure that Gavrilych was right; after all, the mentor did not allow anyone to undermine his authority.
Sasha, of course, was very upset. I studied for so many years, I already knew a lot, but further path football could not have taken place due to his willfulness. He didn't want to ask for forgiveness. Still, he believed that he was right, that Gavrilych was drying up the game and there would be no success with such a game and there would be no increase in skill.
Sasha's parents went to the school principal and he persuaded Sanych to take Sasha in with him. Gavrilych was present and dissuaded Sanych, saying that the black sheep was spoiling the whole herd. But Sanych was softer than Gavrilych, and the director asked, and he took Sasha.
They changed the awl for soap - Sasha said to his parents - After all, Garilych and Sanych understand football equally. I should go to another school.
The other one is on the opposite end of town! There you will only spend all your time traveling! When will you study? - the father objected.
In general, Sasha began to study with Sanych. He did not deviate from his convictions and regularly improved his individual game. Sanych didn’t want to get involved with him, and besides, Sasha’s game often brought results. The other guys, looking at Sasha, also began to play more recklessly and use individual techniques. During the setup for the game, the guys proposed many new schemes, but Sanych did not want to give in. A conflict has arisen. No longer with a separate Sasha, but whole group Guys.
The director intervened in the conflict and invited a new coach to join the children.
Sanych was very offended, although the director gave him a good place trainers in the new set. Football popular game and more and more people wanted to study.
Gavrilych, seeing Sanych, always stopped him:
Well, what did I tell you: - A black sheep spoils the whole flock!
He said - Sanych answered - I gave the slack.
“You can’t give in to slack,” Gavrilych concluded, “People are quickly disbanding.”
Such boys raised a fuss - Sanych lamented.
You’re a weakling,” Gavrilych triumphed. “Don’t be upset.” From now on new group be cruel. Don't allow any tricks. What he said, let them do it. Order skill beats.
And Sasha found a new coach mutual language with the team. Together we discussed game plans to play as a team and for everyone to work individually: whoever is good at making breakthroughs with dribbles, whoever has a long-range shot should shoot at the goal if, in his opinion, there is a convenient position.
The team played well. The guys liked it. The coach too. The team became champions.
Some clowns are lucky - Gavrilych was indignant - They play - who knows what. This is not football.
Sasha was accepted into a good adult team.
“I don’t mind your style of play,” the coach told him, “But I will lead the game.” So don’t get carried away, follow my instructions.
Sasha plays well. He even has his own fans. They like his feints and breakthroughs. He also gets along with the coach, although there are sometimes frictions.
As long as the team's results are good, no one is looking for someone to blame, as happens when there are losses. Everyone gets along. They aim to become champions. There are chances.

Prologue
A lot about black sheep
I have heard stories and parables, -
You can’t take meat or lard from them, -
Should I cut a piece of wool?
And spoils a good herd
Only one bad sheep -
There's a fly in the ointment in a barrel of honey,
Like a rotten porch step.
From one small infection
A severe pestilence may occur, -
Get rid of this one right away
It has been accepted so far...
If we face several evils,
You can choose one of two -
But will anyone be responsible?
What if the shepherd becomes lousy?
It just so happens that sheep live in the vast and lush meadows. Not by themselves, of course, they had an owner, but above the owner - another owner, and above that - another, the most important one. The owners sheared the sheep, and the fattest ones were used for meat. But the sheep did not notice this, because they were always busy discussing rumors and searching for “sweeter” meadows, and in the place of the “gone” ones, new ones appeared all the time.
In one of these meadows in the Golden Valley Southern Urals, and ours grazed main character. In general, he lived well, he always got tasty varieties of vegetation in a place convenient for devouring, and he considered himself an authority, even sometimes “bleated” on concepts, although he himself was never part of the “thieves’ herd.”
Over the past 20 years, the herd has had many shepherds, but for our hero this was unnoticed and not even important, since he believed that he was the most beloved and most authoritative sheep of the Owner. In fact, this was far from the case, but he thought so...
Time passed, the owner changed shepherds, some for theft, some for killing cows from a neighboring village, some for professional incompetence and mistrust, and some left of their own free will. At the same time, our hero continued to exist comfortably, but somehow quietly, without much publicity. Although he really wanted the Master of the herd to know about him and, characteristically, respect him as himself. Therefore, he often took part in changing the shepherds, exposing them to the Master.
But the Owner, as life and law required, before approaching his sheep at close range, always vaccinated them first. There is such a special department federal Service safety for domestic and wild animals.
If this department resolved the issue with wild animals quite simply, then with domestic animals, to which our main character belongs, everything is much more complicated. Such a department has been conducting a long individual work in order to prevent the Master from being infected with some nasty thing, but it was always a pity to let such a sheep go under the knife.
So our hero underwent such vaccination several times. The result, however, was the same, he CANNOT be allowed close to the Master, well, not at all. You cannot let a sheep near the Owner if it is lousy. Lousy in terms of vaccination results, but very necessary for the herd. In fact, the owner was not a stupid person and treated this issue philosophically: the sheep are safe and the wolves are well-fed.
Meanwhile, the Owner began to separate other sheep from the herd, creating competition in the herd, and they passed the vaccination test in the supervisory department with “excellent marks”. This, of course, did not suit the black sheep, especially in morally, she couldn’t come to terms with it. But as they say, trouble does not come alone. Global warming has also begun to make itself felt. The meadows began to become scarce, the rivers dried up - in a word, a crisis began.
The owner was not worried about this - he believed that he had enough food supplies, and so that the herd did not bleat and the food was not stolen, he decided to replace all the problem shepherds in his area. The shepherd in our main character’s flock also turned out to be problematic. Too many sheep bleated at him. And as soon as he thought about replacing the shepherd in this flock, the shepherd himself wrote a letter of resignation, stating that with such sheep the place was not in the meadow, but in the circus, and he was not a clown, but a professional certified shepherd.
The owner began to think about replacing the shepherd. If earlier he himself changed the shepherds, then here the sheep themselves had to choose the shepherd. While the Owner was thinking, our main character met a black raven, who was eating in the Owner’s farmstead, and was actually spreading all the rumors about the herd, but he did it so competently that none of the sheep even suspected him. Raven began to often hang out next to Black Sheep. It was rumored that they even built a small hut together in a meadow next to a pond and became great friends. The rest of the sheep were jealous of Black Sheep, because she was friends with the black raven, and from him one could expect all sorts of tricks.
A rumor spread through the herd that the Black Sheep would now decide for itself who their shepherd would be. Many believed this and began to grovel before her: there were 9 heads of these in the herd, and another 5 heads of doubters.
And so a new energetic shepherd came to the herd, with the desire to benefit the herd and the entire livestock complex. He had no experience of herding sheep, since he had previously been engaged in a completely different business, but he knew the topic of animal husbandry quite well.
At first, the sheep thought that since the shepherd was inexperienced, they would live a free life, without bearing any responsibility, enter the neighboring fields of others, eat someone else's food, trample other people's meadows. However, this did not happen, since the shepherd did not use the methods of his former predecessors, but began to herd the sheep strictly according to the instructions, the use of which many shepherds forgot, and at the same time brought a shepherd dog with him, which was able to put the sheep in their place and protect them from enemies .
Our Black Sheep became indignant, went into a rage, turned to the raven for help, the created herd scatters, they don’t know how to live any longer, they are torn. And they came up with a black curse, spread their rumor throughout the living complex that the Shepherd listens to the “ball” in everything, although the name (nickname) is quite good, but in fact the deeds are painfully impudent. They reported this to the province, but the owner was not touched; power must be protected by dogs, even if it is not purebred. For the Owner, the most important thing is that there is order in the complex and high rates of meat and wool collection, and the new shepherd guaranteed this.
Meanwhile, the grass became less and less, and the Owner began to take anti-crisis measures. He gathered all the shepherds, including ours. He thanked them for the fruitful year 2016 and said that now, in times of crisis, it is necessary to select only the most elite sheep in order to preserve the breed, and the rest should be used for meat in order to speed up this process.
Our shepherd was going to sort his sheep into who - where: who - for meat, who - for wool, it was clear with everyone except the Black Sheep, since neither wool nor meat could be taken from it. The meat was contagious, but the sheep did not want to be treated. And there was no way to come to an agreement with her about this.
The shepherd had to turn to the Master. He, without hesitation for a long time, ordered his department for catching domestic and wild animals to catch this ram-like individual, with her friend the black raven, and place him in a special institution, from which they almost never return...
