In school textbooks, the word "devotion" is defined as something inanimate, feminine, 3rd declination. Today, in many dictionaries, the term “obsolete.” Stands next to this term, meaning that the word is outdated. Although this is completely unfair, loyalty is undoubtedly not just a noun, it is an amazing quality that not everyone has, unfortunately. More recently, it inspired people to exploits, was praised in literature, and good, soul-taking films were shot based on it. This concept was the engine of life processes taking place not only in Russia, but throughout the world.
Human quality
Devotion is a concentrate of all noble qualities. The main synonym for this word is fidelity. This is an unwavering conviction, selflessness, commitment. This quality has several pronounced emotional colors. The meaning of the word “devotion” has absorbed the meaning of constancy and dedication, the ability to sacrifice oneself, contrary to one’s pride and personal principles.
By the way, acting unnecessarily for noble reasons, completely giving up your moral and physical resources, in a word, wasting yourself, you can cause serious damage to your psycho-emotional state.
Devotion is the quality of a living being, based primarily on love and affection. It manifests itself not only in a measured life, but also in difficult, extreme circumstances. This is the willingness to unconditionally perform actions and actions so that the object to which devotion is expressed is most comfortable to exist in this world.
Work
Devotion is expressed not only in relation to living beings, for example, to relatives, loved ones, friends. There is a more abstract intangible meaning. Such as dedication. This is the quality that distinguishes employees of an organization, company, corporation, group of people going to the end, in the name of fulfilling or moving the main, primary idea.
Motivated by devotion to a common or their own business, many refuse to work more promisingly, highly paid, and deprive themselves of many moral and material wealth. Of course, when a job brings pleasure, an employee has a certain talent for it, then there is nothing wrong with that. When the opposite is true, a certain discontent and tension arises. It is these factors that can cause further psychological disorders.
Religion
A devotee can be a person named ideals. There is another variation of this quality that intersects so closely with fanaticism - this is devotion to religious beliefs.
Against its background, there have always been wars throughout the vast world, which were organized, of course, by fanatics who divided people into faithful and infidels. Such movements of aggressive-minded people are dangerous, causing enormous damage to the cultural and historical values of mankind. Religious wars never stopped, especially in Muslim countries, and it is unlikely that this will ever come to an end.
Good example
Devotion is a certain altruism. One of the films that talks about such pure quality is a picture of a dog named Hachiko.
The movie is based on real events that took place in Japan, when the dog was waiting for his master on the railroad tracks, years after his death.
This story touches to tears. In the Land of the Rising Sun, a monument was erected to the faithful dog Hachiko. But in fact, if you delve a little deeper, then the monument was not erected by a four-legged waiting friend, namely, devotion - this truly amazing human quality.
