The phrase "A person has not developed a personal life" usually means that he does not have a family. If the latter is, then they will say about him: "With his personal life, he is all right." It turns out that the vast majority of personal life equates to family life. Does everyone agree with this?
Women who raise children alone and carry the burden of family household problems will probably agree with this “equation”. Men who are almost never at home, who fulfill their function of earning money and who model their families are likely to defend their rights. They will say that from time to time they need a personal life that is not related to the daily routine of business activity and family responsibilities. And what kind of content they put into this concept: whether they make relationships with another woman or climb mountains, sink to the bottom of ponds or fly on hang gliders - this is a matter of their conscience and personal preferences.
What is personal life?
Many believe that this is a secret area that no one should know anything about.
It seems to others that this is any relationship between a man and a woman.
Still others mean by this concept life associated with personal interests that have nothing to do with official and social activities. Each point of view is not without meaning.
From a legal point of view, personal life is considered as a sphere of domestic, family, intimate and other relations freed from the burden of social tasks.
Psychologists consider it as a sphere of individual personality development. There is a whole area designed to provide services to improve this aspect of life by improving their own character qualities. Thus, experts help a person to improve the quality of his life, including personal.
In the history of the development of society, there was a period when only the actions to ensure the physical survival of both the individual and the whole society comprised a person’s personal life . He had to get himself and others food, he needed to build a roof over his head. There was not even a concept of personal life. Later, but before the development of technology, people began to be perceived as a representative of a certain profession, about a hobby or some other kind of activity, too, there was no discussion.
Today, the individual seeks to ensure that his professional activity is strikingly different from his personal life, from rest. Now everyone wants the transition from a worker to a non-working state to look as sharp as possible. A rare person voluntarily takes work home. The exit from the doors of an office, workshop or management implies a transition to a different way of thinking and to activity of a different kind. This is often a sport, but there may be other options.
But what about the personal life of brainworkers, scientists, whose mental activity involves a round-the-clock mode of activity? What is the role of knowledge in human life?
First of all, people armed with them are able to adapt better in society. They are more competitive, so they can get a better job. These people rarely have problems with their personal lives, because they know how to read literature or who can get professional advice.
