People are taught from early childhood that they should have many friends. They must behave well not only in society, they need a good reputation, and this goes on for almost all their lives. In all why? Because one in the field is not a warrior. But what this saying means, we will explore in this article.
Firefighter
There are such forms of human activity in which there is nothing for one to do: firemen, police, doctors. In these professions, no matter how brilliant a single subject is, he cannot cope without a team.
Imagine burning a house. A firefighter runs to rescue people captured by the fire. Even if we are very well disposed towards the hero, we are unlikely to believe that he will pull together without a team, for one is not a warrior. At least he needs partners to provide him with water and to insure him just in case, all of a sudden that.
Policeman
A lonely policeman is rather a hero of crime series. You probably watched them on NTV. In real life, such heroes can hardly be found. The maximum that a trained riot police can do is to pacify a gang of hooligans, but our Russian peasant will not be able to boast of exploits in the spirit of the famous movie screen of the militants of the 90s. And not even because he is bad; maybe our peasant will give a head start to Hollywood actors, but only they act in an ideal world where even the bandits have some moral principles, albeit minimal ones, and our riot police fights crime in the real world, and here alone in the field is not a warrior.
Doctor
What is true of firefighters and rescuers can be said about doctors. There are wonderful surgeons, they have golden hands, but they need a good team nearby.
Take the fictional genius diagnostician Dr. Gregory House. He unraveled many difficult cases, but all the "dirty work" for him was done by his assistants. Although if you do not pay attention to particulars, then House is a lone hero, but this is only at first glance. And even the mad and cynical doctor is not a warrior alone in the field.
Professions created for singles. Writer
True, it cannot be said that an individual taken does not have a chance to change anything in the world. There are professions where other people provide only technical support. In some professions, loneliness is a prerequisite for any success. This is the work of a teacher or writer. Of course, the aforementioned need a social field for implementation, but the representatives of these types of activities are changing all by themselves. The role of the publisher is great, who noticed and published a cult book, but, firstly, he did not write it himself, and secondly, he did it not out of kindness, but because he saw it as a commercial, and possibly some something else meaning. Thus, the proverb “one in the field warrior” can be invented by the writer in revenge on the majority.
Teacher
Teachers also need an educational institution in order to translate their talent into something material, but the leaders of these "temples of knowledge", as a rule, do not help an able person, but interfere with him. Because the higher ones always have their own tasks, and rarely they are so far-sighted to free a talented person from some not too important tasks for the fulfillment of his mission. Thus, the teacher withstands double pressure: on the one hand, the social environment, and on the other hand, the pangs of creativity.
Fiction versus real life. Why do viewers like action movies so much?
Why were the cool militant men so popular before? Now more and more superheroes are acting on the screens (Iron Man, Spider-Man, etc.), the tonality has changed. The viewer is no longer so naive, he does not believe that the aging Jean-Claude Damm will scatter all the bandits with his fighting skill. Now, to become and be a hero, you need serious equipment.
Whoever shines on the screen, the viewer still walks. Because he wants to believe: one person can still change something in the world. Moreover, we never grow, in essence, which means we love fairy tales, as before.
On the contrary, brave schoolchildren, and not only them, can say: “One warrior in the field! We will write an essay about this! ” We can only wish them good luck in this difficult matter. As we have seen, in life this may be so and so. A person can become both a member of a well-coordinated team, and try to change something alone. The main thing is to choose the right sphere of application of your forces, for all paths are open.
