Calculation is bad when it comes to human relationships. At least, this was believed until recently. Now people prefer to weigh the pros and cons of any situation or relationship. And if there are more minuses, then the person does not get involved in an adventure. Good or bad, it's hard to say. But it’s easy to inform about the meaning of the word “calculation”, which, in fact, we will do today.
Value
Of course, in the male mind, the word “calculation” immediately brings up the image of a very insidious woman. She is certainly fantastically beautiful, but equally immoral. She catches gullible guys in her nets, and they follow her, as if at the call of a siren. It would be interesting to compare this image with that which appears in the female consciousness, but, unfortunately, there is no such possibility. Although you can recall a series of images of evil princes. Probably they are suitable as an example.
As we understand it, a word has not only a moral dimension. In general, it is neutral. Do not believe? Let's ask the dictionary:
- See calculate, calculate.
- The calculations that result from the calculation of data.
- Fixing and accounting data in the design of the structure.
- Payment of obligations, payment of bills.
- Dismissal with full payment due.
- Retribution, retribution, punishment (figurative and colloquial).
- An assumption that is based on facts or considerations; intention.
- Selfish intentions aimed at obtaining any benefit or gain.
- Benefit, benefit (colloquial).
- Caution and thrift in spending money.
Yes, but we still do not say goodbye to the dictionary, because we need to highlight the meaning of the verb, which took the first position in the list:
- Calculate something, take into account the probabilities or possibilities of doing something.
- To foresee, to conceive (this meaning is inseparable from the union of “what”).
- Fire someone.
- Order to pay (a special term that can be heard from the military).
As you can see, a huge number of meanings, and most importantly, after we have learned the whole range of meanings, it is already difficult to answer the question: is calculation good or bad? Much depends on the context. If the word has a technical meaning, then it is morally neutral, and if it comes to relationships, a specific situation comes into play. Moreover, sometimes under the calculation they mean thrift, and this is completely different. By the way, we’ll talk about replacements right now.
Synonyms
Probably, looking at the number of values, the reader might think that now he will drown in synonyms for the word "calculation". But no, if the meaning is difficult to truncate, because in that case we would have sinned against the truth, then substitutions can be treated freely, because no one knows all the synonyms of a word that has at least 10 meanings, and there can also be individual interpretations. Therefore, do not let the reader worry. Everything will be good. Go to the list:
- dismissal;
- reduction;
- assumption;
- project;
- calculation;
- calculation;
- rate.
There are many meanings, but it cannot be said that synonyms match them, but we still spare the reader, as promised.
The main thing in the calculation is subtlety
Moreover, the advice placed in the subtitle is universal. When we do a technical project, we should not miss out on details. When we try to fall in love with someone or get another benefit - the same story. It’s not that we act as advocates for the devil, but sometimes calculation is a necessary part of life. If you are poorly prepared, then you can regret it.
Of course, for moral reasons, we should not say that if you make a calculation and rely on it, then it should be subtle. And most importantly: no one needs to talk about what is in your heart, what exactly do you bear. And if you are able to imitate sincerity, then success is guaranteed.
Let us tell everyone who is interested, that there is an alternative to calculation - these are feelings, sincerity. The latter are not imitated, but the real ones. In reality, we encounter various combinations of calculation and feeling. No one can be just a machine or just a bare emotion. You can think about this at your leisure, of course, we do not prohibit.
