]]>This expression has an ancient story. More than once I was convinced that those for whom it is a favorite, with this story are unfamiliar. This is not about the world, as many think, but about the special oil of the Miro, which in the church committed anointing. Cooked it once a year, in a pure Thursday. But new oil was usually added to the old. So the expression appeared “one world”. They used to say: “We are Mazana in one world”, which meant “we are one faith”.
Now this phraseological turn has become extremely negative. All of them in the same world are Mazana. Or simple: they are all there. The rest is clear. Freaks, rods, fraudsters, villains, libertines, killer. What you can’t say in your hearts at all? Do not focus.
But the stability of turnover has recently began to cause resistance in me, and sometimes even fright. A number of those who are “all in the world” are growing day by day: officials, police, doctors, judges, teachers, Uzbeks, Caucasians, pharmacists, deputies, oligarchs, actors, athletes. It turns out an entire army of enemies, and all of it is directed against one, defenseless person.
These moods are clear. The impunity of evil, unrighteously acquired wealth, arbitrariness, cruelty, lawlessness – all this causes indignation. I rejoice no less than any of you when they judge a bribe taker, a fraudster or a policeman who scored a teenager to death. And, on the contrary, it hurts and disgusted to me when they give a term to the innocent and release criminal authority. Therefore, the development of civil society, and the organization of civilian institutions, and political activity are needed by us as air.
But “they are all there”-the position is still very bad. I’m not talking about the fact that it is inferior. When “they are all there” means no one. This position is irresponsible, because you can not fight with an entire social layer, a whole professional group or with an entire people. If you, of course, do not bear a bloody revolution in a quiet soul.
In addition, maybe, first of all, it is unfair. In our own life, we know that people of one profession, one official status, one nationality are very different people. Cutility – rudiment of generic, clan thinking. Ours and not our. Also, the son of a cool official or an oligarch will talk about those who travel to the subway: they are all cattle. We understand that he is cruel, stupid and impudently not right. But, in essence, this is just tracing paper from the everyday “they are all there”. Nothing good. And how are migrant workers relate to residents of Russian cities?
But okay – position. I’m talking about the state of soul and consciousness. It is extremely harmful to the psyche, deprives a person of peace. We pronounce the words, sometimes not suspecting that they have retroactive force. I watched people of friendly people, cheerful, but what is there-simple
, good and always ready to come to the rescue. “All of them there” was pronounced with them fun, without anger, mainly to emphasize, for example, that we are not like that. But there were situations that from time to time throwing our life from time to time, and in their eyes the finished aggression lit up. Their own words were postponed in the mind as an attitude. Go next to them at that moment plague people on the pogrom, they, perhaps, would have joined them. In a fit of holy anger. But … this is the whole matter – there is no holy anger.
“All of them are there” does not imply analysis, awareness, attempts to figure out what’s what, and why, and who – who, and what to do. And now imagine that a teenager hears it since childhood. Words pronounced thoughtlessly, with a high probability will turn him into a thoughtless, aggressive creature. To argue with such people, as they say, is more expensive for yourself. “You justify them? You are for them or something?”The answer” I’m not for them, I do not bring success for the truth “. Anyone who throws a reproach, emotional, he burns, he is in a fit (here is a person!), and you, it turns out, is an indifferent bog trying to stand over the fight. Here we need patience and goodwill, which your interlocutor at the moment is not enough. If you are familiar with history and follow the events, the arguments should be. You just need to learn to articulate them clearly.
It would seem that your behavior has nothing to do with the essence of the question. It has. We are talking about reducing the amount of evil. To rush with rage, it means not to convince, but to offend, that is, to cause a response protest and aggression not on the meaning of what has been said, but to intonation. Whether we want?
