People often come across the object of our study. Nobody loves her, but everyone constantly falls into her paws. It will be about recklessness - this is our topic today.
Value
As always, in search of an answer, we turn to the explanatory dictionary, but it suggests the noun “recklessness” to be considered through the meaning of the adjective associated with it. Therefore, we first characterize the word "reckless." It has only one meaning: "Too hasty, thoughtless, reckless." Accordingly, recklessness can be called an act that leads to undesirable results, and it is caused by rash, hasty and careless decisions.
For example, if a person is more powerful, stronger than you, then you should not anger him, call him names in the hope that he will not have the heart to answer. But man is an irrational being, therefore he does not always listen to the voice of reason.
Or, for example, the Internet is full of advertisements on how to make money fast. Like, you invest 5 thousand, and you get 105. To trust such slogans is also extremely reckless. After all, if such incomes were possible, would dealers tell ordinary mortals about them? Why do those people who sometimes impose quite aggressively “wealth without worries and hassle” themselves not use such an obvious way to live well? That's right, because in a structure that specializes in deceiving the population, only its top gets richer. Naturally, "bounty hunters" also get something, but these are trifles. Be careful, recklessness is what awaits us at every turn. Of course, we are to blame for many things ourselves, but the dishonest people around us are also on the alert.
Synonyms
Of course, in order to fully understand the object of research, one cannot help seeking help from his “brothers,” that is, replacements. Here, oddly enough, the reader will find a large selection. The list is as follows:
- recklessness;
- carelessness;
- lightheadedness;
- thoughtlessness;
- carelessness;
- indiscretion;
- oversight;
- haste;
- miss.
Recklessness is all that is given above. A common attribute that unites all the nouns in the list is the lack of reflection. Hurry often destroys us. Sometimes, however, this happens due to objective circumstances, such as a stressful situation, but often people make mistakes due to self-confidence.
Self-confidence is the root of all evil
On the one hand, many psychological trainings convince people that they are sorely lacking in courage, on the other hand, arrogance kills people. Because of the latter, tragedies are played out when parents know better what is good for their children and what is bad. When teens think that they are adults, and commit rash acts, and then pay for them all their lives. Examples are unnecessary; they are well known to everyone.
All these phenomena can be characterized in one word - "recklessly." The meaning of the adverb needs no comment, since it is similar to the noun and adjective that we examined earlier.
Reading books is not a panacea, but can help
What to do? The main thing is not to despair! Recklessness is a “disease” that is treated with bitter pills of bad experience. But there is another way - to read books. It is desirable to classics, absorbing various fates, and learn from the mistakes of others. At the same time, as Kurt Vonnegut said , books are a form of meditation, which means they are useful for those who want to be healed from an fearless, but rather nasty “disease” - haste. If a person gets used to thinking, he will be able to say “no” to strong emotions and thoughtless actions resulting from them, which means that he may make the right choice. And his life will be a little better, or at least not worse.
To understand what is reckless means is very important, because this is the first step to cure the "ailment".
