What have I lost? A philosophical questions for the approaching sixtieth anniversary.
Yes, the sixtieth anniversary is approaching! (My personal). And worldview questions arise.
What have I lost?
Somehow the era of religious and sincere, independent and self-sufficient people is gone off.
But memories and books remained. And along with them - a suspicion: (may be,) have I lost my family life with a sincere, honest, loving woman? ..
It's not, that a such a women are not exist ... It's just that it's hard to find them ... The personality structure is a different now times ...
A working woman has no particular affection for the household, for housework ... An infidelity, in fact, is not an infidelity ... A love for children, of course, remains ...
In general, there is no clarity ...
If you immerse yourself in the modern information environment and the modern criminal sub-culture, and become saturated with them, then the question begins to sound different: may be, have I lost my family life with a narrow-minded, greedy woman, with a propensity for infidelity?
How to formulate the question correctly? There is no a clarity ...
What about children? ..
We can to recall the classics of Russian literature and the heroes of their works - children ... Many of them - are kind, talented, energetic ... Yes, in the older generation there were quite a lot of people of this type ...
If you start thinking in a skeptical mood, then you can ask the question:
May by, have I lost the children - the indifferent to a good and to an evil, - the children mediocre, alienated, detached, alien to me in their views on the life? A primitive and a low at all levels? "A lot depends on the parents!" Not very modern life is conducive to parenting, to upbringing a children by parents ...
It's possible to speculate about friends, comrades, colleagues ... About the pleasures of communication - personal and professional ...
Or maybe I lost the beaches of Egypt or Turkey?
Or - collective excursion trips to Europe or to other destinations? ...
Or - the any a position (a post)?
As a result, it is even incomprehensible: may be, I have lost something, or I have not lost anything.
Such is the time now, such a social environment, such a common culture ...
Sometimes I think: the diplomas - are they needed? Well ... First, honour thy father ... And - your mother ... Therefore, it's necessary to please them ... Secondly, it was necessary to earn a living. Thirdly, there weren't such a manors and such a number of influential relatives in important positions as the great writers had ...
Yes ... diplomas ... it's good ...
It is obscure ... to be sad ... or to look at the past and the future with a positive view ...
A some humorous questions turned out ... The answers are - rather, to a greater extent, - the optimistic ones...
