What is good and what is bad"
A Life / / December 19, 2019
This material written by our reader Svjatoslav Tripolskaya. We are pleased to publish it.
The question posed in the nursery rhyme is really not as simple as it seems at first glance. In the world there is no generally accepted criteria that define something as good or bad, whether it is a thing, act, or something else. We used to hang on all the labels based on the opinion of society, religion, culture, friends, relatives, teachers, etc. his a value judgment is rarely the result of some discussion, most of all - it's just a "Sharing" other people's opinions on their name. But is not the problem. The problem is that we hang these labels often do not situational, as well as previously used to, as it is, without analyzing the factors accompanying assessment. Moreover, we do not take into account the fact that "good" and "bad" everyone (society, religion, culture, etc.) of their own, and to defend their point of view to the loss of pulse, refuting all the arguments and examples reverse.
For example, consider the phenomenon of theft. Theft - is bad in the eyes of the majority of people. Even according to the 10 commandments of God can not steal. But let's consider a situation where a spy to steal data base of terrorists to acts of terrorism. Then stealing, on the contrary, it is good for everyone except the terrorists, of course.
Such examples are countless possible cause, and it shows that you can never evaluate anything, without going into details, pandering to the majority of the blind, who are accustomed to think superficially.
From an early age our heads comes a huge amount of value judgments of our future, not yet committed, acts. We are already at school know that without higher education, we are not wantedThat children should be born in a marriage, you need to take it home for what is, that the apartment should have its own, that work in a large company - is the stability and quality of life, and more. We are not allowed to think or at least live up to the point where you might think about choosing a "university or business", "wedding or civil union "," office work or freelancing ", etc. We still say that while this is good, and that - badly.
With rare exceptions, all are on the way that they know how good, not analyzing it before the first step. Why? Because they are afraid of condemnation, they fear that say parents are afraid that the relationship will end, and to work without the crust will not take. And what do they do? Correctly! Go to the university uninteresting to them unnecessary profession, get married by aerial, get a job with more or less satisfied, on the first glance, salary, take a car on credit, which they can not afford, and an apartment in the mortgage that they are no longer on the pocket. And, you know, everything is just fine. After all, every day it becomes predictable. They go to work by the same route, carrying out the same (or same type) task, eat in the same dining room, or near the cafe, which is already sick, spend one and tighter half the salary (and sometimes more) for repayment of loans and mortgages, etc. They turn into some kind of cyborg, which is especially necessary not to think, but only need to do so, as do the rest, because they "do correctly".
So back to the subject of this post. Namely, to the "good" and "bad." It seems to me, this life can not be good. But, judging by the fact that an overwhelming number of people in our country live that way, could not help think otherwise. Those. you begin to perceive described the situation as normal, "like everyone else." And then begins the search for the pros in cons. Well, for example:
- - mortgage eats a third of the salary - but the apartment through the n-tsat years will be his!
- 2-3 hours a day standing in traffic jams - but do not need to stand in the subway!
- Work is boring and uninteresting, and the head of a rare animal - but stable salary, and leave for a month!
- wedding cost a half-year profit - but see what fotochki great, and in general all liked it!
I hope that everyone understands that all these advantages are only excuses for the mistakes that the brain is simply not ready to accept, because they were a manifestation of weakness at different points in time and the course of the path of least resistance. A consent in assessing something most is precisely the same path of least resistance.
Only by constantly walking on this path is impossible to achieve success and prosperity of which all dream.
Why am I all that? And the fact that you need to have your point of view, to express it, and defend it, and do not swim like a piece of trash on the wave of public opinion and approval. And let you curse, may you say that you will not get anywhere - and the only way you can achieve anything in this life.
