Now, probably, few people remember such a knight of a sad image - the eccentric prince Myshkin. Meanwhile, it was his authorship, although the author was still Fedor Mikhalych Dostoevsky, that catchphrase “Beauty will save the world” belongs to.
In current realities, I would rename this saying in another - “positive will save the world!”. In addition, all those words, thanks to which this saying became known, look absolutely appropriate in our time. That's just in relation to the positive.
Prince Myshkin, contrary to conventional wisdom, spoke not about external beauty, but about internal. Indeed, Dostoevsky, when he wrote these words, was very far from aesthetic judgments and affected only the inner world of man, his spiritual beauty.
And what spiritual beauty can be without a positive outlook? And it is precisely in our difficult time that it is very difficult to fully meet all those human qualities that were the subjects of a dispute between Ippolit Terentyev and Prince Myshkin — kindness, philanthropy, meekness, altruism.
Yes, and how to be otherwise, because we are all constantly exposed to negative informational influence from the media. You read news sites and you see that most news describes wars and disasters, incidents and epidemics, violence and lawlessness. And all this always falls into the so-called TOP. It’s very rare to see at least one or even mention of her on the site. So, a crisis and a negative come in a person’s thoughts.
If you look at Wikipedia, then “positive” is a collective image of the phrase “positive emotions” and is a generally accepted inverted image of negative. Therefore, in society it is extremely important to find to fit into yourself more positive emotions, thus inverting all the negativity that pours from all information spaces.
Noticed that it’s not in vain on our television two-thirds of the series and films about crime and war? Moreover, they all have high ratings. And all this is because the news zombies us every day with scandals and crime, wars and violence, so that even the most good and good news simply can not get on the screen due to their low ratings.
All twenty-five years after the collapse of the USSR, a culture of violence was instilled in the society, which began with American militants, continued with criminal fights, became even more mired with the Chechen war and gradually replaced all good and sincere topics into the background. And now all the positive programs that, at least occasionally, are broadcast on TV, can only be met not in prime time, when they are not seen by the bulk of society.
Therefore, in order for the person to feel more healthy, he needs to watch and read more good and positive news that will help to direct his worldview in the other direction. In addition, scientists have long discovered the fact that negative thoughts constrict our thinking and negatively affect the brain - and therefore the entire state of the body. Therefore, it is extremely important for any person to set aside at least an hour a day for positive emotions and positive impressions. Play with a child or pet, stay with a loved one, read a good book, or just do what you love, hobby.
But what should one do to someone who is single in life - to put up with a difficult load? And there is a way out. To do this, he should learn to positively perceive the world, and through visualization and affirmation to improve his spiritual condition.
In the first case, it is worth looking for more visual positive images, looking even in difficult situations for a piece of good. We went outside, saw our broken roads and sidewalks, and immediately began to increase anger towards communal services, but saw a kitten near the house, and this anger can be replaced by mercy. So even a regular ray of light after rain, which will peek out from the leaves, can give a little heat.
In the second case, every day you need to mentally direct yourself to the positive. After all, it is not for nothing that, in ancient times, scientists proved that thoughts are material. And it is affirmations that are the most effective tool in our time for transforming ourselves. For example, to program yourself for success with the words “I attract good luck”, “I am optimistic”, for health - “I am healthy”, “I am energetic and cheerful”, for love - “I love and love”, “I was created for love” and etc. And in such simple ways, you can quickly achieve success in the field of positive knowledge.
And do not forget to read the positive news, imbued with positive thinking and, most importantly - make yourself smile!
