All the arguments for the final essay in the direction of "Indifference and responsiveness".
Why is indifference dangerous? Can mindfulness save lives?
Indifference can hurt a person, indifference can even kill. The indifference of people caused the death of a little girl, the heroine of H.K. Andersen. Barefoot and hungry, she wandered the streets in the hope of selling matches and bringing money home, but it was New Year's Eve, and people had absolutely no time for buying matches, and even less of a beggar girl hanging around the houses. No one asked her why she was walking alone in the cold, no one offered her food, a passing boy even stole her shoe, which was not in size and fell from her small foot. The girl dreamed only of a warm place, where there was no fear and pain, of homemade food, the aromas that came from every window. She was afraid to return home, and the attic could hardly be called a home. In desperation, she began to burn the matches that she had to sell. Each burned match gave her wonderful images, she even saw her dead grandmother. The mirage was so clear that the girl believed in it, she asked her grandmother to take her with her. They ascended high into the heavens with joy on their faces. In the morning, people found a little dead girl with a smile on her lips and an almost empty box of matches in her hands. It was not cold and poverty that killed her, but human indifference to the troubles of the people around her.
Do you need to learn empathy?
Empathy can and should be learned. The protagonist of J. Boyne's novel "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" Bruno is a prime example of my position. His dad, a German military officer, hires a tutor for the children, who must teach them to understand modern history, to understand what is right and what is not. But Bruno is not at all interested in what the teacher says, he loves adventures and does not understand at all how some people differ from others. In search of friends, the boy goes to "explore" the area not far from his home and stumbles upon a concentration camp, where he meets his peer, a Jewish boy, Shmuel. Bruno knows that he should not be friends with Shmuel, so he carefully hides the meeting. He carries food to the prisoner, plays with him and talks through barbed wire. Neither propaganda nor his father can make him hate the prisoners of the camp. On the day of his departure, Bruno again goes to a new friend, he decides to help him find his father, puts on a striped robe and sneaks into the camp. The ending of this story is sad, the children are sent to the gas chamber, and it is only from the remnants of clothes that Bruno's parents understand what happened. This story teaches that empathy needs to be nurtured in oneself. Perhaps you need to learn to look at the world the way the main character does, then people will not repeat monstrous mistakes.
An indifferent (indifferent) attitude to nature
One of the main characters of the novel by B.L. Vasilyeva "Don't Shoot White Swans" Yegor Polushkin is a person who does not stay long at one job. The reason for this is the inability to work “without a heart”. He loves the forest very much, looks after it. Therefore, he is appointed a forester, while firing the dishonest Buryanov. It was then that Yegor manifests himself as a real fighter for the protection of nature. He boldly enters the fight against poachers who set fire to the forest and killed the swans. This person serves as an example of how to relate to nature. Thanks to people like Yegor Polushkin, humanity has not yet exterminated everything that exists on this earth. Buryanov's cruelty should always be opposed by kindness in the person of caring "polushkins".
"The Man Who Planted Trees" is an allegorical story. In the center of the story is the shepherd Elzéard Bouffier, who single-handedly decided to restore the ecosystem of the desert area. For four decades, Bouffier planted trees with incredible results: the valley became like a garden of paradise. The authorities perceived this as a natural phenomenon, and the forest received official state protection. After some time, about 10,000 people moved to this area. All these people owe their happiness to Bouffier. Elzéard Bouffier is an example of how a person should relate to nature. This work awakens in readers love for the world around them. Man can not only destroy, he is also capable of creating. Human resources are inexhaustible, determination is capable of creating life where it does not exist. This narration was translated into 13 languages, it influenced society and authorities so much that after reading hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest were restored.
An indifferent attitude towards nature.
The story "" touches upon the problem of the relationship to nature. The behavior of children is a positive example. So, the girl Dasha discovers a flower that grows in terrible conditions and needs help. The next day, she brings a whole group of pioneers, they all fertilize the ground around the flower. A year later, we see the consequences of such non-indifference. The wasteland is impossible to recognize: it was "overgrown with herbs and flowers," and "birds and butterflies were flying over it." Caring for nature does not always require titanic efforts from a person, but it always brings such important results. Spending an hour of their time, each person can save or "give life" to a new flower. And every flower in this world counts.
Indifference to art.
The protagonist of the novel by I.S. Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons" Evgeny Bazarov is completely devoid of interest in art. He denies it, recognizing only "the art of making money." He considers a decent chemist more important than any poet; he calls poetry "nonsense." The painter Raphael, in his opinion, "is not worth a copper penny." Even music for - "frivolous" occupation. Eugene is proud of the “lack of artistic meaning” in his nature, although he himself is quite familiar with works of art. Denial of generally accepted values is most important to him. For the idea of "need" should prevail in everything: if he does not see any practical benefit in something, then it is not very important. His profession should be taken into account. He is a doctor and therefore a zealous materialist. Everything that is subject to reason is of interest to him, but that which is in the sphere of feelings and does not have a rational foundation is tantamount to danger for him. What he cannot understand scares him the most. And as we know, art is something that cannot be explained in terms, it can only be felt with the heart. That is why Bazarov shows a deliberate indifference to art, he simply does not understand it. Because if he understands, then he will have to give up everything that he believes in. This means admitting that you are wrong, “changing the principles,” presenting yourself to all followers as a person who says one thing and does another. And how could he give up his ideas after he defended them, bringing the degree of boil in the dispute to the maximum.
His profession also played an important role. It is difficult for a person who knows the anatomical structure of the body well to believe in the existence of the soul. It is difficult for a doctor who sees death, denies miracles and believes in the power of medicine to imagine that the soul also needs medicine - and this is an art.
Another example illustrating indifference to art is Dr. Dymov from the story "" by A.P. Chekhov. His wife Olga Ivanovna imputes one drawback to him, namely, lack of interest in art. To which Dymov replies that he does not deny art, but simply does not understand it, he studied medicine all his life, and he had no time. Osip argues that if some smart people devote their whole lives to art, and other smart people pay huge amounts of money for works, then they are needed. Partly indifference to art is connected with his activities, partly with the fact that he had to work in several jobs so that Olga Ivanovna could afford to "live in the world of art" and move in the society of "exalted" people. Perhaps Dymov did not understand exactly the false art, love for which Olga tried so hard to instill in him. Deception, flattery, snobbery were companions of people of art who attended Olga Ivanovna's receptions. We can say that Dymov was indifferent not to genuine art, but to false art, because the sad motives that his friend played on the piano touched his heart.
What does indifference lead to? Why is indifference dangerous?
For Onegin, indifference turned out to be a poison that destroyed him over the years. His inability to have strong feelings played a cruel joke on him. When Tatyana confessed her love to Eugene, he turned out to be deaf to her impulses. At that stage of his life, he simply could not do otherwise. It took him years to develop the ability to feel. Unfortunately, fate did not give him a second chance. However, recognition of Tatiana can be considered an important victory, the awakening of Eugene.
A person's attitude towards parents, indifference towards loved ones. What does indifference to loved ones lead to? Do you agree with Shaw's statement: "The worst sin in relation to a neighbor is not hatred, but indifference, this is truly the peak of inhumanity"
Indifferent attitude towards loved ones.
Very often children forget about their parent, plunging into their worries and affairs. So, for example, in the story of K.G. Paustovsky "" shows the daughter's attitude to her aging mother. Katerina Petrovna lived alone in the village, while her daughter was busy with her career in Leningrad. The last time Nastya saw her mother was 3 years ago, she wrote letters very rarely, once every two or three months she sent her 200 rubles. This money did not bother Katerina Petrovna, she reread a few lines that her daughter wrote together with the translation (that there was no time not only to come, but also to write a normal letter). Katerina Petrovna missed her daughter very much, listened to every rustle. When she felt really bad, she asked her daughter to come to see before her death, but Nastya did not have time. There were many things to do, she did not take her mother's words seriously. This letter was followed by a telegram that her mother was dying. Only then did Nastya realize that "no one loved her as much as this decrepit old woman abandoned by everyone." She realized too late that no one was dearer than her mother in her life and never will be. Nastya went to the village to see her mother for the last time in her life, to ask for forgiveness and say the most important words, but she did not have time. Katerina Petrovna died. Nastya did not even have time to say goodbye to her and left with the awareness of "irreparable guilt and unbearable heaviness."
Why is indifference dangerous? How are the concepts of indifference and selfishness related? What kind of person can be called indifferent? How do you understand the words of Suvorov: "How painful is indifference to oneself?"
Indifference is a feeling that can manifest itself not only in relation to other people, but also to life in general. , the central character of The Hero of Our Time, shown by M.Yu. Lermontov as a person who does not see the joys of life. He is bored all the time, he quickly loses interest in people and places, so the main goal of his life is the search for "adventure". His life is endless attempts to feel anything. According to the famous literary critic Belinsky, Pechorin "is frantically chasing life, looking for it everywhere." His indifference reaches the point of absurdity, turning into indifference to himself. According to Pechorin himself, his life "becomes empty day by day." He sacrifices his life in vain, embarks on adventures that do not benefit anyone. On the example of this hero, one can see that indifference spreads in the human soul like a dangerous disease. It leads to sad consequences and broken destinies of both those around you and the most indifferent person. An indifferent person cannot be happy because his heart is not capable of love for people.
HERO OF OUR TIME ANALYSIS
An indifferent attitude to the profession.
The role of a teacher in a person's life can hardly be overestimated. A teacher is someone who is able to discover the wonderful world, to reveal the potential of a person, to help determine the choice of a life path. A teacher is not only the one who transmits knowledge, it is, first of all, a moral guideline. So, the main character of M. Gelprin's story "" Andrey Petrovich is a teacher with a capital letter. This is a person who has remained faithful to his profession even in the most difficult times. In a world where spirituality faded into the background, Andrei Petrovich continued to defend eternal values. He did not agree to betray his ideals despite his poor financial situation. The reason for this behavior lies in the fact that the meaning of life for him is to transfer and share knowledge. Andrei Petrovich was ready to teach anyone who knocked on his door. A caring attitude to the profession is a guarantee of happiness. Only such people can make the world a better place.
What kind of person can be called indifferent? Why is indifference dangerous? What does indifference lead to? Can indifference hurt? How are the concepts of indifference and selfishness related? Can an indifferent person be called selfish?
What can indifference lead to?
V fiction the theme of indifference is also reflected. So, E. Zamyatin in the novel "We" shows us a certain model of life, as well as the consequences of the tacit consent of both individuals and society as a whole. A terrifying picture emerges before the eyes of the reader: totalitarian state, in which people are deprived not only of their individuality, their own opinion, but also of morality. But if you try to understand the reasons for what is happening, then you come to the conclusion: each society gets the leader it deserves, and the inhabitants of the One State themselves allow the bloodthirsty dictator to rule themselves. They themselves enter the "orderly ranks" of the robotic, on their own feet they go to the operation to "remove the fantasy", thereby depriving themselves of the opportunity to live fully.
However, there were only a few who were able to say "no" to this system. For example, the protagonist of the novel I-33, who understands the absurdity of this world. She created a coalition of resistance because she firmly knew that no one has the right to deprive a person of freedom. She could live immersed in comfortable hypocrisy, but she chose to protest. A great responsibility fell on her shoulders not only for herself, but also for many people who did not understand the horror taking place in the state.
The D-503 did the same. This hero was treated kindly by the authorities, held a high position, lived in a calm, indifferent mechanical state. But meeting I changed his life. He realized that forbidding feelings is immoral in nature. No one dares to take away from a person what life has given him. After he experienced love, he could no longer remain indifferent. His struggle did not bring results, since the state deprived him of his soul, destroying the ability to feel, but his "awakening" cannot be called in vain. Because the world is able to change for the better only thanks to the brave and not indifferent.
What is the danger of indifference? Do you agree with the statement: "Fear the indifferent - they do not kill or betray, but it is with their tacit consent that treason and murder exist on earth"?
In the novel "Cloud Atlas" David Mitchell we meet examples of indifferent attitude towards people. The novel takes place in the dystopian state of Ni-So-Kopros, which developed in the territory of modern Korea. In this state, society is divided into two groups: purebred (people born naturally) and factory owners (people-clones raised artificially as slaves). Slaves are not considered human, they are destroyed like broken equipment. The author focuses on the heroine Sunmi-451, who, by chance, is involved in the struggle against the state. When she discovers the terrible truth about how the world really works, Sunmi can no longer remain silent and begins to fight for justice. This becomes possible only thanks to caring "purebreds" who understand the injustice of such a division. In a fierce battle, her comrades and a loved one are killed, and Sunmi is sentenced to death, but before she dies, she manages to tell her story to the “archivist”. This is the only person who heard her confession, but it was he who later changed the world. The moral of this part of the novel is that as long as there is at least one caring person, the hope for a just world will not fade away.
What kind of person can be called responsive? Are there people unworthy of sympathy?
A responsive person can be called the one who thinks about others more than about himself, is always ready to help those in need, and also takes the feelings of other people to heart. The hero of the novel by F.M. Dostoevsky's "The Idiot" by Prince Lev Nikolaevich Myshkin. Prince Myshkin is a representative of a noble family, an early orphan, who spent 4 years abroad due to a nervous illness. To those around him, he seems to be a strange, but interesting person. He amazes people with the depth of his thoughts, but at the same time shocks people with his straightforwardness. However, everyone notes openness and kindness in him.
Her responsiveness begins to show soon after meeting the main characters. He finds himself in the midst of a family scandal: Gani Ivolgin's sister, in protest against his marriage, spits in his face. Prince Myshkin stands up for her, for which he receives a slap in the face from Ghani. Only instead of getting angry, he takes pity on Ivolgin. Myshkin understands that Ghana will be very ashamed of her behavior.
Lev Nikolayevich also believes in the best in people, therefore he turns to Nastasya Filippovna, claiming that she is better than she tries to seem. The ability to compassion, like a magnet, attracts people around him to Myshkin. Nastasya Filippovna and, later, Aglaya fall in love with him.
A distinctive feature of Myshkin is pity for people. He does not approve of their bad deeds, but he always empathizes, understands their pain. Having fallen in love with Aglaya, he cannot marry her, because he regrets Nastasya Flippovna and cannot leave her.
He even feels sorry for the robber Rogozhkin, who later kills Nastasya.
Lev Myshkin's compassion does not divide people into good and bad, worthy and unworthy. It is directed at all of humanity, it is unconditional.
How do you understand the words of Suvorov: "How painful is indifference to oneself"?
Indifference to oneself is a heavy burden that pulls a person to the very bottom of life. An example confirming the above is the hero of the novel of the same name I.A. Goncharova Ilya. His whole life is a geometric progression of self-indifference. It starts small: with his appearance, which Ilya Ilyich does not attach any importance to. He wears an old shabby robe and slippers. These things lack personality and beauty. Everything in his room is broken, dusty. His financial affairs are in ruin. But most of all, a manifestation of indifference in oneself can be considered Oblomov's refusal from the idea of happiness with Olga. He is so indifferent to himself that he deprives himself of the opportunity to live fully. This leads him to the fact that he converges with a woman he does not love, just because it is convenient.
This is surprising, but true. Moreover, on a global scale, this also works.
As for a person, nothing humiliates, outrages or destroys him as much as the indifference of those around him.
Why do you think terrible, eccentric, wonderful, strange things are done in the world? Why are people crazy about? Why do wars happen after all? There is only one reason - the initiators and instigators of all this disgrace do not have enough attention to their person.
After all, what is attention? This is the designation of your presence in the world. Even if it is negative attention, anger, or resentment. Does not matter! You will be seen. So, you get a certain amount of social stroking or spanking. That human energy that will give you the strength to live.
“The biggest sin in relation to one's neighbor is not hatred, but indifference. This is truly the pinnacle of inhumanity. In the end, my dear, if you look closely at people, you yourself will be surprised how hate is like love. "... Bernard Show.
No wonder they say that there is only one step from love to hate. And all because both love and are powerful energies of attention to your personality. That is what your being requires.
Sometimes the indifference of others can be a stimulus for development. It makes a person go out of their way to prove their worth. Tell me honestly, have you never done anything to prove that you are smarter, more beautiful, more cunning, kinder? "I will prove it to you, you will still cry without me, I will show you still!" - sometimes revolves in the head. Sound familiar?
I dare to say that most human actions are implicated in precisely this motivation: "I want to be noticed!" "Look at me!" "You see how good I am (brave, smart, wise, handsome, etc.)!"
One of the leading human needs is recognition. We crave to be noticed by others. Appreciated. They took me into their flock. In the end, we fell in love. We want to be loved!
Sometimes, in order to experience this feeling, even if it is deceiving, we are ready to humiliate ourselves and ask. Get addicted and forget about our own needs, devoting ourselves to the one we love. But try to honestly answer the question: "Are you doing this for him or for yourself?" Honestly. Even in love, we are often focused on our own experiences, our own sacrifices, which must be rewarded. And if we are not rewarded and loved ones show indifference or inattention to us, we suffer.
Oh, this is truly a terrible weapon. And in every sense. You can even say that this is a terrible devilish weapon with which people are able to destroy life itself (if they are indifferent to the problems of the Earth).
What do we know about indifference?
At first, indifference is more terrible than hatred. This is the most brutal weapon you can think of. If you do not know how to defeat your enemies, you can kill them with a simple and in an accessible way... Ignore. Complete and final. One that automatically turns a living, warm person into an empty space. Not even into a corpse, but simply into nothing. Remember that this is a very cruel and inhuman weapon.
Secondly, contributes to the spread of evil. "Do not be afraid of enemies - at worst they can kill you. Do not be afraid of friends - at worst they can betray you. Be afraid of the indifferent - they do not kill or betray, but only with their tacit consent there is treason and murder on earth."(American poet Richard Eberhart).
Thirdly, indifference is a killer. It destroys desires and dreams. The indifferent turns into a living corpse, which nothing holds on this planet. As a rule, such people die.
Indifference to a person from others can lead to his illness and death. Especially if he fails to gain attention, even negative attention. And not knowing how to achieve positive attention and love, every outcast will strive with all his might to achieve at least some, even the opposite effect. Because this is also a result proving to him that he exists!
Fourth, indifference as a way to get away from the frailty of existence has nothing to do with indifference-emptiness, which is discussed in this article. The so-called enlightenment, liberation from thoughts and passions, emptiness, which Buddhist monks strive for, is only a way to be filled with the highest meaning. But not indifference.
Don't create emptiness
Everyone knows the rule of communicating vessels? The law of filling voids requires that there should be no void. If we create it, we kill ourselves. "There are two ways to kill yourself - suicide and indifference."... (Jonathan Coe).
Therefore, use this terrible weapon very carefully. Yes, of course, for some time you can send all your virtual or real offenders to blacklist. But time will pass, and the empty space may be filled with new trolls. Therefore, indifference is only a temporary, tactical move. Signaling to the misbehaving person that they are wrong.
Many people are kept in good shape by only the attentive look of a completely stranger. Think about it. And look around with this attentive and kind look.
Our main strategy should remain And indifference is not characteristic of it by definition.
Direction " Indifference and responsiveness"is included in the list of topics for the final essay for the 2017/18 academic year.
Below will be presented examples and additional materials for developing the theme of indifference and responsiveness in the final essay.
FIPI commentary on the essay on "Indifference and Responsiveness"
Subject directions "Indifference and responsiveness" orients schoolchildren on the awareness of the diversity of forms of man's relationship to the people around him and to the world as a whole.
These relationships can be expressed in the form of indifference to others, unwillingness to pay attention and sympathy to a stranger, or vice versa - in the form of frank empathy for someone, the ability to sincerely rejoice at someone's successes and achievements.
Both forms of human relations are presented in the literature. On the one hand, we meet selfless heroes who are ready to respond to other people's hardships and joys, and on the other, selfish, proud and indifferent characters, concerned only with their own fate.
An example of a final essay on the topic of Indifference and Responsiveness
You can live your life in different ways. Walk zealously over the heads of enemies, friends, strangers and loved ones. Or to help your relatives as much as possible, to pay attention to the lonely, to take care of the house, the street, the city ... and, of course, for your country.
To be selfish, just worry about yourself - or to feel, support, empathize? Despite the obvious answer, everything is a little more complicated than it seems.
Science has proven that only a psychopath - a person with an obvious psychiatric disorder - can be absolutely indifferent and not feel pity for others. These people, in principle, do not understand feelings. Gradually they master the language of mental sensations, moods and emotions. But for them this language is "non-native", it is only needed to manipulate other people. Even their own children and parents have no spiritual value to psychopathic individuals. And this is perhaps the most comprehensive and absolute manifestation of indifference.
V real life indifferent people, of course, do not have such radical character traits. Ordinary indifference is selfishness, indifference, indifference of a person. This is a focus solely on one's own interests, one's own benefit, one's opinion. Such people do not want to help, sympathize, support, or approve.
In my opinion, the most important problem in the relationship between the categories of indifference and responsiveness is that these character traits have a deep subconscious context. An indifferent person can be explained that to sympathize, support and help other people is good, positive, creation and love. All this is quite understandable for an indifferent person, but she is governed by completely different thoughts and motives - achieving her own goals, ensuring personal comfort, obtaining her own benefits. An indifferent person accepts all the previously listed synonyms of responsiveness only if it turns out to be beneficial to him. It is this attitude towards others, such a way of thinking that constitutes the basis of a selfish personality. It is almost impossible to change such a person.
The antipode of indifference is responsiveness. This is a character trait that manifests itself in compassion, sympathy, sympathy, good nature and an attentive attitude towards the life of others. A responsive person will not be able to pass by someone in need of help. His soul is open, he sincerely empathizes and rejoices for friends, family and friends. And this brings him true satisfaction and fills him with spiritual strength.
Responsiveness is a positive and creative personality trait. It is an essential component social interaction and the progressive development of society. This is one of the most important features due to which human civilization progresses.
Returning to the previously voiced thesis about low probability eradication of indifference, it is worth recognizing that responsiveness is a much less stable and indestructible trait of a person. Under the yoke of life's hardships and disappointments, anger and aggression of others, the sensitivity of the soul grows stale, sincerity and frankness are replaced by distrust, and sympathy is replaced by hypocrisy. That is why it is so important to form and constantly improve responsiveness in our hearts, to practice good in deeds, and in thoughts - openness, sensitivity and empathy.
Theses and arguments for the essay on the topic Indifference and responsiveness
1. Indifference and responsiveness to people (strangers or relatives; friends or opponents; just to those who need help or support). It will be appropriate to consider indifference to other people's troubles and indifference to success. It will be interesting to compare and contrast the heroes of literary works - philanthropists and misanthropes, egoists and good-natured sensitive characters).
The theme of indifference in love deserves special attention. Indifference and unrequited feelings are a favorite subject of popular fiction.
2. Indifference and responsiveness to the surrounding world, animate and inanimate nature.
3. Indifference and "responsiveness of the soul" to aesthetic values, art and beauty.
4. Indifference and responsiveness as two extremes of human nature. Here you can analyze the forms of extreme manifestation of these properties: indifference - in fatal egoism and indifference, and responsiveness - in fanaticism. A person inclined to help in a row, forgetting about himself, often literally "puts on his neck" the object of his care. In fiction, as in life, there are plenty of such examples. (For example, "Razmaznya" by A.P. Chekhov or even the Tale of the Fish and the Fish by A.S. Pushkin).

Indifference - a disregard for something, indifference. This is a feeling that can manifest itself not only in relation to other people, but also to your life. Indifference to oneself slowly kills desires, hopes, aspirations, dreams. This is a heavy burden that pulls a person to the very bottom of life.
An example for the theme of our essay can serve as Pechorin, the character of "A Hero of Our Time". M.Yu. Lermontov shows us him as a person who does not see the joys of life, who is bored all the time and he quickly loses interest in people and what is happening, therefore his main goal is to search for "adventures". All this is the consequences of Pechorin's indifference to himself, he does not hear his desires, he does not know what he really needs.
His life is just endless attempts to feel anything. He is frantically chasing life, looking for it everywhere. Pechorin himself notes that his existence is becoming empty day by day, so he embarks on adventures that do not benefit anyone. In this example, one can see how indifference spreads in a person's soul like a disease, leading to consequences and broken destinies of those around him and the most indifferent person.
Another example of destructive indifference to oneself is Ilya Ilyich from Goncharov's "Oblomov". He literally lives in total indifference to himself. It manifests itself in all things: in his appearance, to whom Oblomov does not attach any importance, everything in his house is dusty and gradually falls into disrepair, in his financial affairs there is ruin. The apotheosis of his indifference to life and himself was Oblomov's refusal of the idea happy life with a wonderful girl Olga. Our hero did not see any motivation in relations with her, did not make any efforts to reach out to Olga, and in fact she could become the sun of his life. He is so indifferent to himself that he deprives himself of the opportunity to live fully, which led him to live with a comfortable but unloved woman - Pshenitsyna. Indifference to himself and his life also became the reason for his early death, but all that was necessary was to understand his desires and goals, build priorities and, for the sake of important things, have the courage to give up some philistine desires.
Indifference to oneself is a paralysis of the soul, something that prevents a person from hearing his desires, understanding his needs, learning to be attentive to other people too. It is not easy to get over it. It is necessary to honestly talk to oneself heart to heart, but for this, it must be admitted, will is necessary. If you do not feel either yourself or this world, then these are the first signs of a terrible disease - laziness of the soul. Get over her. Look at everything that is happening around, hear and understand yourself, and then life will sparkle with new colors and take on meaning, because indifference to oneself is worse than hatred.
