Why is it that, as before, we are far from the king, high from God?
Do you know what is the main scourge of our society and, accordingly, the prosperity in it at times of the gendarmerie “use of state instruments”?
Ignorance of laws among ordinary people! Moreover, instilled from childhood is a reluctance to study them, how to focus your attention on them in principle, as if the laws exist separately and somewhere far from us, maybe even in a different reality. Remember - “I’ll drag you through the courts!” There was no worse threat for many in the Soviet Union.
What is the motivation and essence of this attitude?
To this question, we can also give a very simple answer, “lying in the most visible place”: for the most part, our society has a certain “vaccination” against the desire to bear responsibility, at least for their actions. And the basis for the preparation and application of this vaccination lies not only in the authoritarian dogmas of our government, but also in the fact that, unfortunately, after the Great Patriotic War, more than one generation has grown up in our patriarchal Russia - fatherlessness.
Me and the horse, me and the bull, me and the woman and the man
I think many people know what and how a woman can teach her son, especially when there is no example of a father in front of a boy in the family.
No, I do not want to in any way belittle the merits or humiliate the status of a woman, a mother in the family, I am just giving my, perhaps subjective, assessment of the consequences. Feminism, which was strongly welcomed and nurtured first in the Soviet Union, and then cultivated in the post-Soviet space, was naturally necessary in the current political and social realities.
But the fact that it took ugly forms and disfigured, like some kind of pandemic, the subsequent image of masculinity in the original gender characteristic, was and became not only the sole pernicious influence of Western “culture”. Agree, if our society did not have such a predisposition, it is unlikely that we, the great descendants of the Scythians, would have liked the substituted traditions and morals that were alien to our consciousness.
And still, here and there, the consequences of this “upbringing” are observed, and how unpleasant it is sometimes to watch how another mother drags a 5-7-year-old boy with her into the women’s restroom, into a stall. Think about what kind of respect for a woman-mother we can continue to count on...
There are such words in one well-known song: “women are stubborn, men are capricious,” and I think they perfectly reveal the meaning and designation of the ongoing substitution of roles...
Unfortunately, after many of these grown-up “boys”, having seized power, or even at school, they begin to assert themselves, mocking their peers, and then more... Then these mothers first pay, ransoming their “children,” and then cry...
“It’s a big family, two people, only men” - mom and me
According to the statement of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle: “Every family is part of the state,” if we follow this truth, then we can understand where the roots of many problems in our Fatherland come from.
And returning to the words about ignorance of the laws and a persistent reluctance to study them, using a completely simple system of analysis, one can realize that such reluctance is provoked by the fear of bearing any degree of responsibility, for oneself or for one’s actions, since “mama’s boys”, and they are still in our society enough, mostly accustomed to life “behind the hem”.
A special military operation has recently led to serious changes in our society; many patriots of our country and real men have emerged. The only bad thing about this whole situation is again losses and again war. Historians say that the development of civilization moves in a spiral, and these shake-ups are necessary for society, but what then should be done with those who, despite such vicissitudes, were unable to achieve changes within their own Self.
The hardest thing is to work on yourself, and there is no need to change anything if both power and money have been achieved and are available, and the ways to achieve them do not need to be mentioned.
Blue blanket
Those who remained on the other side of the barricades at the level of performers prefer to transfer responsibility, including for their own lives, into the hands of others, since they always need the so-called “mother”. They are constantly driven and motivate their decision (sometimes subconsciously) to transfer this responsibility for themselves into the hands of others by the fact that: senior comrades, boss, king, God, in the end, know better and know better...
In the musical “The Producers,” directed by Alexander Kalyagin, there is such a fragment: one of the main characters grabs a small blue blanket that he got from his mother, he covers himself with it from any problems that arise and only then calms down. It seems to me that this example is very indicative within the framework of our current society.
Christ endured and commanded us
In operational jargon, the term “suffered” means someone who is beaten by everyone, and simply a victim in this or that incident, so, I believe that in a slightly modified format this word can be applied, and in a plural sense, to a whole layer of our society.
I have neighbors, harassed, crushed, downtrodden, they close their iron safe door in their two-room apartment and hope that they are safe... Their motto is my hut from the edge... And how do they live up to their “meek” surname...
But you won’t believe it, due to an incredible coincidence of circumstances, “something” happens all the time that forces them to get out of their “house” and participate in the events taking place in one way or another. Which, in the event of their inaction, will lead to a major collapse, first of all, of the motto and the so-called imaginary calm and, of course, the “hut”.
Only one thing can be added to the above: our people have had a saying since ancient times, indicated in the subtitle of this material, and with it we justify any of our inaction, fear and reluctance to counteract crimes. So when did we become like this?
And yet, why was this article written?
Let's stop and think about whether it is so safe not to know the laws of the state in which we live, to transfer responsibility for ourselves into the hands of others, justifying our reluctance to bear the burden of responsibility - either by being busy, or by lack of interest, and sometimes simply by banality weakness.
Knowledge is power, and knowledge of laws and the power to bear the burden of responsibility for yourself and your loved ones without shifting it is the advantage of the great. When you realize this postulate, imperceptibly even for yourself, the law turns from an obligation into a right.
