Themselves and in is to own themselves. Absolute freedom - complete permissiveness

If you want to warm up - gray!

Life is an exchange of life.

The eternal is always under suspicion among the non-eternal.

The one who follows the right path, as soon as he steps on it, will find his historical companions.

The main thing in every person is that you can love in him. And this is what is in him that is Christ's.

Even where one big one gives and another small one receives, equality of greatness is possible. A grateful taker is equal to a selfless giver. And selfishly / arrogantly giving less gratefully taking.
Friendship is the equality of greatness.

Sanity is conscience, not intellect. The movement towards sanity is the way to purify the conscience.

Everyone is looking for a place for themselves in another, but few people are looking for a place for another in themselves, few are preparing themselves for another.

People are falling
differently:
someone down
someone deep
someone up.

It's good to be a fool - you always seem smart to yourself.

Truth is not crushed, it is whole. People split themselves when they "split the truth" into many half-truths. Truth only gathers a person together.

Poetry is not only a property of words, language, poetry is a property of being. Through poetry, in the process of poetry, we communicate with Being or, conversely, Being communicates with us. With us or with me? With me - as with us, but also with me personally. In my limit, I am one with us.
Poetry is a dialogue, like thinking. Poetry belongs to the Word; it is conversation in the Word.

Everything real works. Everyone has their own gifts, and people act on the basis of gifts. And the mummers imitate the action in order to hide their fakeness. Mummers always intend to stick around for show.

Alien wings do not give rest
to those who are not sick with wings.

Love is not me, not mine. Love is God's and for God: whether in oneself or in another. Love always flows from God to God, it is always in God, and a person becomes a messenger of God when he lets this blessed river into himself, without preventing it from flowing in accordance with the will of the Almighty, without imposing his little selfish will on it.

Life is shorter than me.

By our actions or inaction we create the reality in which we live. In fact, there are many realities; in the end, the one whose carriers are the most active wins.

Another person for us is a window to God, a way out of our own glass isolation. Before finding a window to God, each of us must open up to a person, more precisely, by God in ourselves, open up to God in another person. God in ourselves, we must recognize God in another. To be recognized in God is what it means to be loved. This is how Christ works in us - making us gods to one another.

Everything is betrayed, desecrated, forgotten...
Life is banished
long live the trough!

There are things that are intuitively understandable, but in no way expressible, or expressible with great difficulty. Our understanding precedes language, it is above language, not in language. The conceptual grid of the language is thrown at what is understood - so that one can operate with the understood (think), and not just for understanding.

Freedom means not to restrain yourself, but means to control yourself
F.M. Dostoevsky

The freedom of man ends where the freedom of another begins. Does this mean that freedom is always a limitation for someone. Why does Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky believe that freedom means not to restrain oneself, but to control oneself.
A person sets limits for himself. That limit, the bar that he cannot cross. His choice, his destiny. A person himself chooses between good and evil, between the categorical "impossible" and "possible, if careful." The prohibitions that a person sets for himself are transparent and light, almost weightless, but very strong silk ropes. In an attempt to break them, a person may be crippled. But even they, smooth and slippery, one day can be untied...
Everybody gets on their nerves. There are situations when "turning off the head" is a natural reaction of the body to extreme sports. There are times when our feelings and emotions call into question all ideals and moral principles. Man has been an animal for many thousands of years, but he became a man historically recently. A person MUST always keep a human face. But does this mean that man is not a free being from the very beginning? Or does freedom have its limits, which in itself sounds absurd?
Have you noticed that any part of any mechanism, if it is part of it, lasts much longer than glued or nailed, no matter how strong the connection may seem. But sooner or later the brakes fail in any mechanism. Although ... Skates! Ordinary figure skates ... brake perfectly on the first, and on the twenty-sixth, and on the one thousand one hundred and thirty-seventh time. And all because the stopper-tooth is a part of the skate, a single whole with it. Without it, skates lose their meaning and their purpose in the world. So our inner stopper must be a part of us, live, breathe, cry and, perhaps, change with us.
I will not undertake to judge why Judas betrayed the Savior. But do you really think that this man had no moral principles? It seems to me that they simply refused at a critical moment.
Each of you probably has a person about whom you can say with confidence "he never ...". Will not betray, will not offend, will not deceive. And not because they are scared or ashamed. Because he CAN'T. Because he is NOT.
“Learn to rule yourself,” are the great words of the great poet. Learn not to restrain yourself, but to master yourself. Learn not to understand with your mind what you can afford, but to bring it to your heart with your mind. When it is within you, when you don't have to think about it, you will understand what freedom is.
listen to your heart. Listen to your heart. It already knew what to do when you were still crying, wrapped in endless swaddling clothes. It knew what good is, when you didn't even know that there is something bad in the world. One mistake of yours can stop him, but a single misfire can instantly turn you into a memory. You are one. Remember skates? You live while it beats. And it beats as you breathe. It remembers your every step and every word you say. It will never betray you. Because IT IS NOT. Because IT CAN'T.
Listen to your heart...

Freedom and permissiveness: where is the border?
“Freedom is not in not restraining yourself, but in being in control of yourself.”

F.M. Dostoevsky


The problem of individual freedom is very relevant not only for modern times, but for all times in general. Attempts to solve it were made throughout the development of philosophical thought. Nevertheless, even now, after so much time, the question of what freedom is and how to become free remains open. Each person understands freedom in his own way. I really liked the apt statement of Abraham Lincoln that “The sheep and the wolf understand the word “freedom” differently, because indeed, for some people, freedom is when they can “eat” whoever they want and where they want, for others, freedom is when they can live their lives and not be "eaten". But what is freedom anyway? Is freedom really permissiveness and arbitrariness? Does freedom have no boundaries?

Tacitus Publius Cornelius said: "Only fools call self-will freedom." I think he is absolutely right, freedom and licentiousness are opposite concepts to one another. It is terrible to imagine that each person will do everything that comes to his mind, regardless of anyone or anything. "All freedom that affects the rights of others is despotism." said Ramon de Campoamor. Is it really possible to allow despotism and tyranny to rule in society? After all, then the “freedom” of some will fight against the freedom of others, and this will definitely not make any of them happy.

I think my generation is lucky that we live in a world where democracy rules. The democracy of the state implies just the same freedom of the individual, which must exist for the benefit of each person. “Legislation seeks to place the freedom of the individual within those limits in which, subject to general laws, it is compatible with the freedom of every other individual. », that is, in other words, Immanuel Kant said that the freedom of one person must end where the freedom of another begins. Voltaire remarked that "Freedom consists in being dependent only on laws." What laws is he talking about? About the laws of the constitution of the state? Or maybe about moral laws and norms? Or about the laws written in the Bible, about the ten commandments? I think that it is just about all of them at once, because each of the laws speaks of the rights and obligations of a person in relation to the rest, about those obligations that allow everyone to be free, and therefore happy. But some may ask: "Why should we consider others, since we want freedom and unlimitedness?" I think that it is impossible to live in society and be free from society - such a person is doomed to complete loneliness.

Freedom in my understanding is not only the freedom that is given to us by the state. It is not enough just to have freedom of speech and choice. Nothing is more important to me than inner freedom. A person is internally free only when he was able to free himself from his "ego", was able to free himself from his attachments and habits, was able to free himself from his desires; when he is internally independent of the opinions and moods of other people, of weather conditions and climate; when he is open to the whole world, to love; when he can imagine himself as a dog that has stuck its muzzle out of the window of a car rushing towards the wind - long ears beat on the nose and eyes, and the tongue sticks out with pleasure. This freedom is worth living for. You can’t take away a person’s inner freedom – is it possible to take away a person’s right to think and decide, to choose goals and the meaning of life for himself? Nevertheless, our external freedom directly depends on other people, on their actions.

Therefore, one must always remember that freedom is not so much a privilege as a responsibility, responsibility to other people and society as a whole: “Freedom, if its implementation is not associated with responsibility, threatens to degenerate into simple arbitrariness” (V. Frankl). Perhaps it is precisely because of this that many people do not want freedom - they are afraid of the responsibility that will fall on their shoulders. Thus, freedom cannot be absolute - it is relative. Freedom borders on responsibility and is directly proportional to it: the more freedom society gives a person, the greater his responsibility for the use of this freedom. Otherwise, anarchy, destructive for the social system, turns the social order into social chaos.

write an essay on Dostoevsky’s statement freedom is not to restrain oneself, but to control oneself according to the criteria: 1 what problem is expressed in the author’s catches 2 give arguments in defense or refutation of the author’s position 3 Give examples proving your position (from the field of science) 4 Output

  • 1) The author's words speak of the problem of a person's ability to control himself and his moral freedom, which is formed as a result. The author expresses his opinion about moral freedom, which is accumulated from personal experience through long work on oneself.
    2) I think the author is right. Freedom is the right to speak, which means that a person is free not when he restrains his desires and thoughts, but when he is able to express them correctly without losing his moral character.
    3) An example is the statements of ancient scientists. For example, when they claimed that the Earth has the shape of a circle. Then the scientists did not hold back their thoughts, did not consider the action of presenting information to the people, which is why it was not accepted by the people. After reasoned evidence about the shape of the Earth , the information was accepted and approved. All this is due to the correct presentation of information, which is the true freedom of man.
    4) Human freedom must be limited, it can be obtained only after the demand and work on oneself.

Human life is never a smooth and cloudless road. Each of us, sooner or later, faces misfortunes or tragedies on his life path. They can be of a different nature: a serious illness, a catastrophe, a war, a terrorist act, the loss of loved ones. As long as there are no fewer tragedies in our world, misfortune can burst into a person’s life quite unexpectedly. And when this happens, not everyone is able to cope with the blow. This does not mean the weakness of a person at all, he is simply vulnerable, and there is nothing you can do about it.

When trouble strikes, it can be very difficult for a person, and sometimes it is impossible to cope with shock and despair alone. However, you need to move on. It is difficult to protect oneself from misfortunes, but this does not mean at all that one cannot fight them. It is very important that in such a difficult moment of life friends, relatives, loved ones come to the rescue. And, of course, we all must be sensitive and attentive in order to show sympathy ourselves and provide support to those who need it.

"site" is an opportunity to cope with a difficult life situation, to find the missing support that a person needs when he finds himself face to face with trouble. Yes, the 21st century has not brought safety and security to mankind. Every now and then we hear news about terrorist attacks, natural disasters, man-made disasters, military operations, cataclysms that claim lives. But the same century gave mankind the freedom of communication, technologies that bring together strangers who are hundreds and thousands of kilometers apart from each other. Zhijrf provides an opportunity to come to the rescue, provide support and simply express words of sympathy to all those who need it. In the frantic pace in which we all have to exist, sometimes you forget what is really important. These are the realities of modern life. "website" is both a reminder and an opportunity to show the most important human qualities: compassion, humanity, mercy, philanthropy.

Take a look around you. Life is generous to us, it gave us those who are ready to lend a hand in difficult times. These are people who will put aside any business and forget about their minor troubles when it is necessary to take care of their loved ones. Parents, children, comrades, colleagues - let's treat them with kindness and attention. A friendly word, a call, even a simple smile hold a person's life together with imperceptible but strong ties. And life is the most important and the only thing we have. Zhijrf will help turn us all into close people. People who care about the fate of another person.
