The problem of loneliness in our
time
Loneliness has become a serious problem
in modern society. Loneliness - is a disease and, unfortunately, patients
loneliness becomes more and more. This is not only a complex phenomenon of
individual human life, but also an important social phenomenon that requires a
deep understanding of the social and philosophical. In my opinion, if you have
a broad interdisciplinary approach possible a precise understanding of the
phenomenon of loneliness, his life in the modern world and, perhaps, make a
prediction for the future. I believe that the people of the 21st century feels
more and more detached from the same people, as he did. One can assume that
this may be related because of political and economic relations, and this leads
to the fact that an individual can lose his paramount desire and purpose in
connection with the interests of the state, business, team, region. It may also
be due to changes occurring in our world that lead to the destruction of
traditional values, which were commonplace and familiar person, and he needs to
readjust to the new styles of interaction between people and it is not always
overcome the individual, which becomes for them an insoluble task, many crises
of human life, these include: social, economic, religious, exacerbated the issue
of self-selection of priorities in life personality. Loneliness is associated
with the experience of man: his isolation from any community groups and
individuals, families, place, time. This feeling is familiar to both women and
men, and occurs regardless of age, social status and education. Loneliness -
one of the reasons for most private individuals to a psychologist,
psychiatrist, psychoanalyst. After all the lonely people tend to feel
abandoned, neglected, unwanted, and left out. Once alone, the person begins to
search for the meaning of existence. This theme is updated to draw attention to
the need to standardize threatening modern society, intellectual deterioration,
to move inward. Great importance to overcome the current situation has
socio-philosophical approach, which allows you to identify the significant
personal and social functions alone and define different features on the
properties of loneliness: timeliness, abandoned, is not clear - it allows you
to see the true causes of these phenomena and to reduce the risk of their
occurrence.
Worked on this issue by different
people, they expressed in their works, the attitude to this phenomenon, the
ratio of the loneliness that is painted in religious beliefs, then an
understanding of its purpose. This issue is: Plato, Aristotle, Confucius,
Aurelius, Petrarch, Nietzsche and Berdyaev.
The problem of loneliness is the
subject of multifaceted research in a number of human sciences: philosophy,
psychology, sociology, education, and medicine. Loneliness on the structure has
a complex content and includes a variety of different forms, each of which may
have a different perception, experienced people.
How often do we think about that, what
is loneliness? In modern dictionaries, reference books, you can find the
definition of what is loneliness. But is it possible to describe in words, and
to convey the deep feeling which pervades the person, gives a sense of
hopelessness, alienation, isolation, dissociation between the past, present and
future, guilt, depression and even aggression, feel lonely in a crowd, at work,
at home, with a loved one.
We all know what that word means. Some
may describe it in two or three words - as if, it is when a person is alone,
but they are mistaken, and the other does not try to understand or describe the
word, feeling, saying that they, you know, have never been alone. In fact: the
person is in the circle of family, friends, sitting, having fun, joking, but
after the meeting, he again sad. What is the lack of communication, the company?
Good, happy family sitting and watching TV in the evening, but for some reason,
the mother wistfully watching TV, and my father and did not watch TV, and just
sitting and thinking about something completely different, but the run up in
the faces of children and parents have easy joy and, like there is for someone
to live, but does not leave a feeling of loneliness. Such examples are
numerous. Is not life interesting, boring, monotonous? And here and there, just
a man, he feels lonely and afraid of him. Loneliness - a state of mind. In
everyone's life there comes a day when loneliness speaks to the heart, the
soul.
From ancient times, people give
different names of loneliness, meaning, a lot of statements about loneliness in
literature, music, as people are looking for salvation from loneliness, because
they are afraid to visit alone with his thoughts. The phenomenon is seen alone
in various areas. One reason alone - is the inability to communicate. According
to A.U. Kharash, alone man, willy-nilly, to communicate with itself. If people
do not understand themselves, to avoid contact with him, the situation in which
he is alone with him, gives him a sense of fear, fear of loneliness.
There are many categories of single
people, for example - children. Among them are those who live in remote places
where there is no possibility of the child to make friends, there are those who
at some point do not feel the need for friends, and there are those that
replace their favorite activity with peers. In children, there is loneliness,
when they lack the skills to communicate, when children lose friends when
changing residence and when friends disagree. Just are loneliness and
employees, especially senior officials of corporations paying heavily for the
loneliness they impose their style of work. Such retribution is stress, alcohol
and smoking. Thus, loneliness, partly selected by the man himself, which is
imposed on him as a condition of success, eventually destroying it. Directly
loneliness expressed in music, art, and literature. Many literary characters
express their loneliness in different forms of its manifestation. The Count of
Monte Cristo, Robinson Crusoe, Martin Eden, the Biblical Job - each of these
characters could be a model for the analysis of such phenomenon as loneliness.
But turning to the literature, we should consider the following: First, any
work of art is something finished and in our will can only accept or reject the
author's solution, in - the second, essential here is the problem, for Karl Marx
- a brilliant, in his view, an illustration of his anthropological theory,
where labor is the fundamental nature of man, and for us as part of Robinson
presents a conceptual model - a model of positive, creative solitude, taking
that for granted, and being alienated from all the past, the hero constructs
new reality by acting It kind of demiurge. Either way, the literature is far
from the last material to analyze the phenomenon. We can feel the mood or
Čiurlionis M. Roerich, visit their galleries, will feel the tragedy of a
lonely person, listening to the 13th or 14th symphonies of Shostakovich.
Investigating this pressing problem of
our time, it can be concluded that the test loneliness is probably the most
difficult test in a person's life, as scary to realize that you are alone. The
joy that no one with whom to share, ceases to be fun, trouble, experienced in
solitude, is even larger scale. I assume that in order to get rid of
loneliness, or even not to be so depressed from it, you need to: find the cause
of loneliness, to find the best ways to solve it and solve it.
