Continued In the pursuit of ambition, a woman inevitably becomes a killer. This is not necessarily a literal (physical) murder (planned, organized or accidental), but many ways to kill love, feelings and all life in both herself and others. What parts of herself will she have to imprison or destroy in order to achieve what she wants? What sacrifices will she, her lovers, family and friends, friends, parents and children make? What harm will exorbitant ambitions to be beautiful, successful, smart, rich, influential, famous, popular, famous bring to the body, Soul, heart, creativity, human relationships? Few people care about these questions, just as the instructions of fairy tales and myths that contain all the necessary things are forgotten. tips. After all, the main plots do not change, but are repeated again and again if the lesson is not learned. We watch movies, TV series, and dramas that often show the poisonous fruits of ambition, but we stubbornly continue to repeat these models and scenarios, causing suffering and pain to ourselves and those around us. Unhealthy ambitions can extend not only to male spheres, but to purely female ones (as society understands them), for example: - to marry a famous, rich, status man and gain access to various benefits and, of course, power resources. - to have a lot of ambitions children, to be proud of this, to be valuable, important and to build your family as an empire, passing on ambitions for achievements to children and determining their destiny - in the field of health and beauty, these are ambitions to have certain shapes and appearance, to achieve recognition in competitions, to receive prizes and awards etc. - in the field of education: get a certain education and better than more than one, high grades, scientific degrees, diplomas, positions and much more. It doesn’t matter in what area and how greedy ambitions will manifest themselves. It is important what they lead to and what fruits they will bear. Ambition as a desire to do and achieve something in life is probably not bad in itself. But here again it is necessary to distinguish between concepts. According to Ozhegov’s explanatory dictionary, the word “persistent” is more suitable for this, i.e. “persistent, determined to achieve something.” Persistence (not to be confused with importunity) is initially a positive quality, while ambition, on the contrary, is negative, the closest relative of boastfulness. The question is, when is persistence replaced by ambition? When and how do ambitions become diabolical and murderous and how to avoid this? Fairy tales and myths (including in the format of films, TV series, dramas) will help us with this, in which antidotes have already been developed and a map of the path is shown with all the traps, traps and poisons in bait. We know many real examples of women who became crippled or died early, including because of exorbitant ambitions, who were unable to stop in time and stop self-destruction. We should learn these lessons so as not to make such mistakes, especially considering that the industry of ambition constantly calls for sacrificing what is most valuable in life. Business, career, power, success, money - these flickering lights attract many moths who do not think that they can burn themselves and others.
