Today we’ll talk about what everyone is striving hard for. In the area of our attention, the adverb is “non-trivial,” and this in itself is commonplace, but only further narration will show why.
Triviality first
We start from the opposite, that is, we characterize what triviality is.
First of all, it must be said that when discussing an adverb, one cannot ignore a noun and an adjective of the same kind, that is, “triviality” and “trivial”. Looking at the twin cities will help us better understand the meaning. We will reveal the meaning of the adjective, because the explanatory dictionary insists on this when we ask it about the essence of the adverb.
Trivial is something unoriginal, banal. Accordingly, the opposite concept will deny banality, everyday life, strive for originality as, one might say, a moral guideline, and this is not trivial in itself. By the way, it must be said here that triviality and non-triviality are book definitions, that is, they can be screwed in any situation, and disaster will not happen.
When “everyone thinks that he is not everyone” (Taoist philosopher Yang Zhu), then these people themselves turn into a crowd, those who want to stand out, forming a kind of other commonplace.
Standardization of human destiny and nuggets on TV
Yes, triviality is commonplace, and the stamp in this case is ruthless, and covers a person’s thoughts, actions, in a word, life. And it’s very difficult, especially now, in the conditions of a technotronic civilization, which, in principle, unifies fate, to give out something worthy of the assessment is “non-trivial!”. This is a feat in itself. But difficult does not mean impossible, since people of creative professions still exist, and various modern shows accumulate many nuggets from the people in their womb.
Find originality has become much easier now, you just have to turn on the TV, and there will certainly be some catchy character. And the viewer in the manner of Ellochka the cannibals will say: “Nontrivial!”. This does not mean at all that we do not value the viewer of such shows, but the shock from the show can be so strong that there are simply no other words.
Synonyms
Our favorite trick is to talk about synonyms, especially since in the abyss of the previous text, someone might not have seen the meaning of the word that we are directly considering. And since the adverb is inextricably linked with the adjective, we will compile a list of synonyms for “non-trivial”:
- individual;
- extraordinary;
- unique;
- non-standard;
- non-traditional;
- original;
- special;
- original;
- independent;
- peculiar;
- peculiar.
By the way, banality has the same number of names, you just have to throw away the negative “not” particle in many of the above adjectives. But while we are considering not banality, but, on the contrary, originality. Such abundance is rare, but today we are lucky.
Resourcefulness examples
When the meaning and synonyms are over, the reader will probably want to know what a non-trivial solution is. This is easy to explain. This is an act that is directed against existing social or mental patterns. For example, a teenager who loves tricks from the age of 14 to help parents begins to earn extra money after school precisely because he creates magic.
One episode can be recalled from the movie - the ending of the film “Lucky Gilmore” (1996), when Happy needed to make a decisive blow, and the television tower fell and blocked the path to the hole, but the main character still struck the ball and achieved the desired result. His decision cannot be called trivial with all desire.
Nontrivial villain Joker and "It" by Stephen King
Of course, perhaps the meaning of the adjective "non-trivial" is already clear, the meaning is considered in detail by us. But nevertheless, speaking of originality, one cannot but say about the Joker - an original criminal who was able to turn the instrument of good into evil. This, of course, is about laughter. True, Henri Bergson (French philosopher) said that a joke, humor involves a temporary anesthesia of the heart. So, perhaps, good does not have exclusive rights to laugh, but if we talk about the generally accepted meaning (trivial), then laughter is associated with good. Sarcasm, black humor and other evil masks of humor are not usually found by many supporters.
And with this, the Joker is just original - this is on the one hand, and on the other - it may be quite banal, because the Joker is actually an evil clown. And clowns in people always evoked mixed emotions. Someone loves them and the circus, but they scare someone to horror. Moreover, this horror is clearly of an ancient nature. The image of the evil clown is tenacious. He, for example, was used in his novel as the main negative character by Stephen King. Fans will remember the title of the work without any problems, and we will tell the rest that this is an essay called “It”. In it, the clown personifies almost universal evil.
Perhaps it was the Joker who influenced Stephen King as an image. Although outwardly negative characters are completely different.
