Three questions shaping the world view: the meaning of life and purpose, about help, how to learn from mistakes

Hello, dear readers! In this article, I would like to talk about several philosophical misconceptions that have a huge impact on the way of life of most people. Although they are obvious, few people question the claims of the ancient sages. A paradoxical situation arises: although the contradiction is clear, no one notices it, since the authority of the source is too high.

Three Errors

So, today we will talk about the means of achieving the life goal (the very meaning of life); The biblical statement "to deal with others as you want them to do to you"; And who stuffed the Oskie "doctrine on other people's mistakes." Surely, these three concepts are familiar to everyone, since they are "hammered into the head" from the diapers. Well, let's start in order.

Meaning of life

As you know, any person has some kind of global goal, which you want to achieve at all costs. So, some want to change their place of residence; Others - to buy an expensive (or not) thing; The third is to get something. Some sources state that if the meaning of life is really not imposed from the outside but comes from the soul, then on the way to achieve it there should not be any significant obstacles. This point of view, for example, is held by Dmitry Verishchagin in a series of his books devoted to energy and information development. In principle, everything sounds quite logical: the movement in the right direction (predetermined, karmic - who believes in anything) causes joy in the soul, an increase in the level of vitality. For example, the path chosen by us, which is covered in the pages of My Estate resource, is exactly that. When you follow him, the life force beats the key, and the world helps to solve the arising problems. This is because the meaning of everything is found. Someone's interest may be different, but he definitely is. It is important to listen to the whisper of your soul.

Accordingly, various obstacles and difficulties symbolize an error. The world itself tells us that the path is wrong, but the stranger, imposed by someone. For example, many know that you often have to set goals, which, in fact, are not needed. So, perhaps, a man does not need an expensive house in a noisy city, and his life is attracted by life in the countryside, but the conventional system of values overshadows the mind. This happens very often. Especially in recent times, when the issues of ecology, meaning and goals are increasingly raised. And when old age comes, such an individual, with the forces squandered in the race for illusions, begins to realize his true desires, the almost lost meaning of life, but for the embodiment there is already no internal reserves. In other words, the obstacles to achieving the goal most often indicate a mistaken choice.

However, in life, situations often happen when the desired one has to be achieved. In the autobiographies of celebrities and entrepreneurs this is clearly traced. Of course, only they can verify the truth, but they say that these "exhausted" goals really do go from the heart. The logic here is this: perhaps, obstacles are a kind of verification of the world on the person's determination to obtain the desired result, therefore insufficient perseverance can play a cruel joke. Having determined the meaning of life, it is possible to form and achieve goals that fulfill the role of peculiar steps. Both of these tasks require a serious approach to the solution.

Words of the Great Book

In the seventh chapter of Matthew it is said "... in everything, whatever you want people to do with you, so do you and them ...". At first glance, everything sounds quite logical: helping others is a noble affair, but more attention is drawn to "pitfalls." It's not necessary to follow an example far: young people know well how the previous generation is negatively perceiving modern music. How in this case to use the biblical recommendations? After all, both old people and young people want to share the best from the heart - retro for the first and a heavy style for the latter. For example, the psychology of rural residents is different from urban, although there is no hypocrisy in this case. The conclusion is this recommendation - to judge the surrounding by itself, is erroneous, and help to others should go not only from the heart, but also from the mind.

Other's mistakes

From childhood, people are taught that it is necessary to learn from other people's mistakes, but not to make their own, the same. A statement about the invention of a bicycle can be ascribed here. However, mistakes, nevertheless, are made with enviable constancy. Why?

The reason is simple: in order to realize something, one must acquire one's own experience, experience something. This is the only way. You do not need to go far for an example: on a frosty winter day, one person wraps himself in a scarf, puts on a hood, hides his hands in pockets and trembles with cold. Believe me, he does not pretend. At the same time the other goes without a hat, in an unbuttoned jacket and in general, he is even hot (foreseeing sarcasm, I note that he is sober). Surely, everyone saw this. Conclusion: we are all different and what is unattainable for one, the other can get without too much effort. That's why each individual's luggage has its own, individual. And to step on the same rake people will be constantly. Everyone at least once, but must fill his own "lump".

Summarizing, we can say that these three errors, presented for the truth in the last instance, have a significant influence on the formation of the world outlook and the further life of man in society. Maybe it's time to overcome them? Stop for a moment and analyze common stereotypes.
