LIFE IN AN AGE OF CHANGEHave you observed this peculiarity in yourself: it seems like a gloomy day, and even a light drizzle of rain, but you are in a great mood, you walk and smile at something unknown, such a rise, I just want to fly. And it seems that there is no special reason. Well, just think, I passed an exam, or an annual report, or met a boy with whom I’m secretly in love... But sometimes, it’s the other way around: it’s a sunny day, and the birds are singing, and the sky is so blue, just like that boy’s eyes! And the mood couldn’t be worse! And you’re not like the sky and the sun, you don’t want to see anyone at all! And all because she quarreled with her mother, or a friend betrayed her, or things are going very badly, “everything is wrong!..”. That's all! We don't see anything else around. And the sun, by the way, “shines equally for everyone.” And here you go, someone notices this, but for others, life drags on with gray, hopeless everyday life. You know, my friend lived in Miami for some time. She says that there is always sun there. Always! At first it’s pleasant, then it’s an incomprehensible irritation, then you just dream about some kind of hurricane! Like this. And the sunsets there are incredibly beautiful! And every day - a new picture! So, a lot of people come to admire these sunsets on the ocean shore: both tourists and local residents. And everyone silently, with some kind of reverence, watches the incredible riot of colors!... And then, when it all ends, loudly, everyone applauds together. They applaud! It was like watching a wonderful performance on Broadway. You may ask why am I talking about this? Yes, it’s just that we also have incredible beauty both sunrises and sunsets... And also, after a cold winter, spring comes to you, exciting, bringing new hopes, and after a hot, eventful summer, a fertile autumn comes. And again - winter... And we often, behind all this bustle of life, celebrate the seasons by taking off our fur coat and then putting it on again. And we don’t seem to notice everything else at all. All the beauty of the world around us! But we react very violently to various changes in society. Well, we are, of course, shaking in ways that are not childish: revolutions, wars, coupons, coupons, changes in governments, regimes and life guidelines in general! “What the hell are sunsets here anyway?!” you will be indignant. But until what time? It was not for nothing that at the very beginning I spoke about the peculiarity of a person’s response to the environment. And this reaction directly depends on the internal state of the person himself. Moreover, based on this very inner state, a person commits certain actions. And he may even regret actions committed in a state of passion for the rest of his life! Yes, you and I live in difficult times. When was it ever simple?! I am not going to now assess our time and all the events that are happening around us. Political scientists, sociologists and our descendants in general will judge this. I want to talk about what happens inside us. And inside many people there is worry, anxiety and fear. And the inability to cope with these feelings causes panic in people and pushes them to commit rash acts. And your own behavior becomes difficult to control. Especially if there are equally confused, frightened people around you. And what’s interesting is a simple question to yourself: “what am I doing and why?” - already brings me back to reality. A person begins to think, reason and make CONSCIOUS and CONSIDERATE decisions. And anxiety and panic, as an unconscious state, are replaced by confidence in the correctness of the decision made for a given specific period of time. What about "fear"? Fear is the fear of something specific, completely justified. Therefore, when the cause of fear is discovered, it immediately becomes easier. Why? Yes, because along with the cause there immediately comes a search for its elimination or avoidance, i.e. again, a decision is made, and it is no longer fear that controls the person, but the other way around. For example, when Little Red Riding Hood walks through the forest, she is overcome with anxiety: the forest is dark, she is alone, the pies are getting cold! (joke), maybe.
