The ability of people with a heroic character to kindle others with the fire of their souls, to enthral the team is called “charisma”. All revolutionary chiefs and leaders were charismatic leaders – there are no other leaders in revolutions. Not for nothing they were called ardent revolutionaries.
Now the most spread character of the Hero-revolutionary with burning eyes – Che Gevara.
A hero is a guide, a leader, but not a “formal” one, not appointed, but a charismatic leader. They follow him not by order, not by coercion, not of selfish interests, but go at the behest of the heart, at the behest of the soul. They go to the end of the world. Help him with all affairs and endeavours.
Heroes find loyal friends in any kingdom of hypocrisy, meanness and hypocrisy. In fairy tales, unexpected helpers bring to the hero a mighty horse, give a magic sword and wonderful chain-armour, an invisible cap and speed boots.
A hero is an enthusiast, an initiator, a pioneer of affairs. If the team has not the person who is “burning at work”, then all affairs gradually fade and stop. Therefore, the core of the corporate philosophy of successful companies is the bet on the pioneer-enthusiast.
BOREDOM
I am bored, a demon!
(“Faust and Mephistopheles”)
Boredom, melancholy, languor of the soul, ennui – this is another feeling associated with the role of the Hero…
Boredom (spleen) comes when everything is palled, tired, disgusted. Boredom is the main enemy of people with an ardent soul, with a heroic character. It pursues them always and everywhere. As Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin:
Then he saw clearly,
That the village has the same boredom,
Although there are no streets, no palaces,
No cards, no balls, no poems.
The spleen waited for him on guards,
And she ran after him,
Like a shadow or a faithful wife.
Boredom, spleen, “like a shadow or a faithful wife” everywhere chases them, and they flee from it “to the edge of the world”, get involved in any adventures – they seek adventure on their own head.
Boredom and inspiration – this is the “whip” and “cake”, which drive and attracts the Hero. He runs away from boredom and strives for adventure, for a new and unexplored, for a risky and dangerous, for what will give him a state of an excitement, an inspiration, winged sentiments, drive.
Tales of the peoples of the world tell of the exploits of heroes: tsareviches and princes. But here is the question: why do these princes and tsareviches not sit at home? Indeed, at home is a palace, a castle with chambers. There are servants, skilful cooks and soft beds. There are sycophants and saints, fans and idolatresses. It would seem: well, if he is itching to, then would jump around the castle-palace, and for the night – home to rest in warmth and cosiness, under the protection of high walls and guards. And at the gate is a crowd of admirers with laurels and raptures. And he – on a horse, wearing a hat with feathers, wearing gold-embroidered clothes, worthy and sensible.
So why do Heroes go on a dangerous path, into the mud, into the cold and other uncomfortable conditions? Because they are bored at home in the palace and at a holiday, in warmth and comfort. Although they are trying to be cheerful Heroes are not looking for fun. That’s why the Heroes run away from the palaces: from the death boredom – to an excitement and inspiration, to storm and risk.
When they say that the old is already palled, tired and bored, that is a wish for a new, fresh, original – this is a typical urge of the heroic beginning of the soul.
Boredom, chasing Heroes everywhere, the reason that they are just starting to do things, but do not continue and, moreover, do not finish them. People with the heroic character are bored to continue and complete their own affairs. They quickly “catch fire” with a new affair and, alas, as quickly “cool down”, cool to it and leave what they have started. They start everything, but finish nothing – they are bored to bring and debug.
People with a heroic character hate weekends and holidays. They do not know what to do with themselves with a boredom, even howling like a wolf. Therefore especially for them on holidays arrange entertainments and competitions.
The heroic beginning is more characteristic to young – after all, in adolescence and youth, the human body is full of strength and energy, and with age, the energy of the body becomes weak. Therefore, it is very important to make the education of children and young people fascinating – because, for people with a heroic character, everything that is not interesting and exciting for them is boring. Each teacher knows: as soon as the pupils lose interest, they immediately begin to make noise and entertain themselves. Any severity can not keep the attention of pupils – only interest.
Where it is possible to see many Heroes? – At the playground. There are children in the continuous movement. They passionately and with enthusiasm run, play, rush…
Tedious waiting for Heroes is unbearable. They can not stay in one place for a long time. They are impatient, restless. They say, that they are “full of beans”. They want to move constantly. Such behaviour not only small children but also many adults have. There are people who, for example, can not lie on the beach. They want to do something: to swim, to play volleyball or play football. They have to put their energy somewhere, spend it on something.
The role of the Hero is not intended for everyday life. Therefore, people with the heroic character often do not find a place in society. They are exhausted from boredom – and here lies the most important trouble – alcohol. Alcohol temporarily activates the energy of the body, causes the feeling of excitement and inspiration, which Heroes are looking for constantly. Not finding a place in the philistine world, they drink and, alas, lose themselves into drinking.
A heroic character formation is found in all animate creatures: men and women, humans and animals. In 1966 the Mosfilm did a movie “Wings” about a woman with a heroic character. This film is about three days from the life of a former military pilot, and now the director of the vocational training school Nadezhda Petrukhina. For a long time the war ended, but for the heroine of the film, the former pilot, only those years were filled with authentic meaning. The war for such she is, has become one of the highest manifestations of the human spirit. Therefore the heroine also remembers war with horror and at the same time as the hour of triumph. She, for her misfortune, has not been able to reorganize and now, with her maximalism and sacrifice, sometimes she looks inappropriate, or even ridiculous. She deeply experiences dissonance with reality. She does not manage to adapt to this peaceful, everyday life…
TENDERNESS
Besides the boredom and inspiration with the role of the Hero, there is also a feeling of tenderness.
Plots of chivalric romance are built according to the standard scheme: A hero (for example, a knight) usually wanders in search for adventures (for example, to fight with the Villain, with the dragon). At the same time the Hero, except the loyal friend, still by all means has a beloved, there is “ladylove” for whom the Hero has tender feelings.
The feeling of tenderness generates the aspiration to fondle, caress, take pity on Therefore beloved, regardless of their real size, they are called diminutively caressing names: “baby”, “pussy”, “cutie”, “sweety pie”, “sweetie”, etc.
The feeling of tenderness can be addressed not only to the beloved woman. With tenderness, the mother takes her child in her arms, strokes and kisses him; the dog licks his puppies, and the cat – kittens.
Tenderness is associated with affection, a desire to take in arms and to hide from adversity. Children are taken in hands. They carry beloved in hands. The feeling of tenderness is experienced a small child when he puts to bed with him a favourite teddy bear for the night, embraces him, strokes and gently covers the blanket so that he would not “froze”.
The symbol of the heroic desire to save, hide and protect is a monument to a warrior with a saved child in his arms, installed in the Berlin Treptow Park.
Why does the Hero protect the weak, save them, help them in trouble? Because the Hero is pitiful to weak.
Tenderness is called a sweet feeling or a feeling of affection. Gently beloved call darlings. “Have mercy, pity, host a favour” – that’s what they say when they turn to this part of the human’s soul. With a pity give alms.
The feeling of pity generates such quality of soul as mercy. “Sisters of Mercy” were called nurses in the World War I. Sisters of mercy were treating to wounded with a pity.
ENERGY OF LIFE
The souls of men and women, as well as the souls of all other animate creatures, are arranged identically. There are no exclusively male or exclusively female feelings; there are no exclusively male or exclusively female roles. There are also women with a heroic character. Such woman “… will stop the horse at a gallop, enter the burning log hut”.
The woman with fire in a soul was sung by V. Vysotsky in one of the songs of a climbing cycle:
I asked you “Why are you going up the hill?” —
And you were going to the top, and you were spoiling for a fight. —
Elbrus is seen great from the plane…
You sniggered and took with you.
Since you became close and affectionate…
In the characteristic of the heroine of a song specified the qualities of soul connected with a heroic dominant of character: inspiration, tenderness, affectionateness and also charisma – ability to lead (words are turned to her: “I tried to keep step with you from the last force’).
Women with a heroic dominant character are called “fatal women”. Because of them they “lose their heads”, “go crazy with passion”, they get carried away, they are jealous, because of them they shoot at duelling, commit suicide, let down the fortunes, rob banks, raise riots, overthrow governments and make revolutions. Meet the fatal woman – to lose half life. Will shake up all soul.
Considering portraits and photographs of famous femme fatale women, studying the certificates of their contemporaries, it can be noticed that most of them did not differ in external beauty. Fatal femme women are attracted not by external beauty, but by an inner fire.
The body’s energy system is responsible for sexuality and sexual ability. It is not for nothing that the chakra “svadhisthana” (the center of the body’s energy system) is called the sexual chakra. People with a heroic character are different in the irrepressible tendency to sex. Women with a developed energy system, sometimes even at a distance, have an ardour emanating from the “svadhisthana” chakra. It is not by accident the womb where women are bearing children, is located near this chakra. They say about such women that they become pregnant from the first kiss.
Generally speaking, behind the word “love” can be hidden different feelings. Therefore, usually to the word “love” add a certain epithet – specify the hue, type, kind of love. People with a heroic character are characterized by fervent love and tender love. It not for nothing to say about the Hero-lover: “He is passionate and gentle” – cause an ardour, passion and tenderness are connected with the same role of the Hero.
But, it is known, the Hero-lover – he is not only passionate and gentle, but also light-headed. Laura from “the Stone Guest” not for nothing called Don Guang “my light-headed lover”. “The object of passion and tender feelings” the Hero often changes. One and the same “object of love” quickly becomes boring for the Hero, it becomes boring, and people with a heroic dominant character do not tolerate boredom. The boredom drives them away. That is why their love is changeable.
People with a heroic character sometimes meet so-called “Casanova complex”. They need to achieve the desired goal associated with danger and risk. Without the passion of sex, they are bored – after all, they need a storm of passion, a flurry of feelings.
Everyone knows the feelings associated with the role of the Hero: an inspiration, boredom and tenderness. Each person has a heroic beginning. Another thing that is one people have a lot of this heroic beginning but other people not enough.
With age the power of the body becomes weak, the heroic beginning decreases, feelings are cool down. They usually say about the person who has lost before an ardour of the soul:
But early feelings has cool down…
(“Eugene Onegin”)
The heroic beginning is called the energy of life. They say about people whose character lacks heroic qualities:
There is no life in them, all dolls are waxen…
(“Stone Guest”).
From boredom and from such “waxen dolls” Pushkin’s Don Guang has run away to Madrid.
…
When Lev Nikolaevich Gumiliov defended the dissertation according to the passionate theory of ethnogenesis, one of the members of dissertation council asked him: “Can you explain on fingers who are passionarians?” “Understand! Not all people are grabbers”, – replied Gumiliov. This is true. Not all people are grabbers. There are also “Heroes-passionaries”. But there are grabbers too. It will be discussed about grabbers in the next paragraph.
§3. GRABBER
GRABBERS SOUL
There are people who are called “grabbers”.
Grabbers possess an increased susceptibility of the nervous system and a rapid reaction. The grabbers have increased skin sensitivity, perhaps, is due to the fact that many nerve endings come to the surface of the skin.
Grabber’s role, three feelings are connected: greed (avarice), distrust (suspicion) and anxiety (concern, frustration).
GREED
The feeling of greed, avarice, lust, associated with the grabber’s role, generates the desire to possess the object of lust. Greed and avarice are constantly encouraging grabber to use his chance, not to miss the prey, to have time to grab, to get ahead of others, to jerk to himself in time. That is why grabbers are called grabbers and graspers. They have a very developed “grasping reflex”.
The grabber is a lover of freebie and easy profit. Selfish greed, the desire to grab on the cheap generates a rush demand, when they throw out a scarce commodity. When to the hungry throw “or the fight-dog” the object of their lust, they, fuelled with greed, arrange among themselves selfish bickering.
Greed is the source of envy: “another grabbed, he got it, but I did not!” – enviable. They say about grabbers: “Greedy folk have long arms”.
The grabber – he is not only a grasper and a grabber, but he is also still cormorant and cheapskate, he is a miser and a chuff. grabbers do not like the word “to buy” very much, because “to buy” means “to give money”. They prefer the word “to obtain”, that is, “to make a raise”, “to take”, “to find”, “to get a gift”, “to steal”, and only in the most extreme case, after bargaining, “to buy”.
If the grabber buys something, then only on the cheap. He will not pay an extra kopeck. Before buying something, the grabber will always find the lowest price. He always knows what, where and how much. This can be seen in Judas. This is what the Gospel of John says:
Mariia, taking a pound of backgammon pure precious world, has spread Jesu’s legs and wiped His legs with her hair; and the house filled with the fragrance of the world.
Then one of His disciples, Judas Simonov Iscariot,
who wanted to betray him, said:
Why not sell this chrism for three hundred denarius…
…because there was a thief
He had a cash drawer with him and wore that they lowered there.
(John 12: 3—6)
Judas who as a result has sold Jesus for 30 silver coins was a treasurer in the company of Jesus and his apostles: “he had a cash drawer with him and wore that they lowered there’. The thirst for money is a very selfish tendency of nature.
The grabber – thief. He is an evident thief or a thief in the depths of his soul. The grabber all “self” clings to his hands. If giddy-person always loses everything, then grabber, on the contrary, as if gathers by itself.
The grabber – hoarder. He drags to the house everything that will get, everything that “badly lies”. His house is filled with unused junk. When moving to another house the grabber gets boxes with junk. There is only one way to make grabber get rid of junk – to persuade to sell. But he won’t sell cheap.
An example of a selfish woman – a Box from Gogol’s “Dead Souls”, which thought, how not to undersell, she wanted to sell more expensive “dead souls”. Another example of a selfish character – a squirrel from the cartoon “Ice Age”.
The notion of property – the notion of the “eternal and integral” right of a person to private property – has grown from a selfish greed: “Mine! I will not give it!” grabbers are ardent owners, zealous apologists of a private property.
The grabber considers the wife (or husband) own property too. The grabber has always a marriage of convenience. grabbers like to conclude the marriage contract. For them, marriage is a deal “you – me, I – you”. When divorcing the selfish person will certainly try to bargain more junk.
Grabbers are very jealous. Jealousy – generation of greed too. Mutual jealousy is called the competition. Competition arises when one is jealous of others as the object of lust. Competing with others, the jealous person strives to get ahead of everyone, before reaching the desired goal. The competitor is encouraged with a feeling of greed and lust.
No need to assume that greed, envy, greed are bad feelings. For example, A.S. Pushkin believed that “Envy is a competition sister, consequently from a good kind”. The poet presumable has written this phrase in 1831. (First published by P. V. Annenkov in the Collected Poems, 1855, vol. I, p. 288.)
Grabbers are called “stuffy” people. They say about them: “from greed the toad strangles”.
Grabbers eat a little, economically, if at their own expense, but at other expense eat greedily, until dumping. Their motto is: “What I do not eat – then I will bite’
Grabbers can be good speculators and second-hand dealers. These are bright and prudent businessmen who measure everything on money and sensitively react to change of market condition. Their god is – the Golden Taurus. They are corrupt and unprincipled. For the sake of profit, grabbers will easily break laws and moral standards.
Grabbers are self-serving people. Self-interest – this is a vested interest. The grabber is looking for benefits in everything. He lives according to the saying: “The fish seeks, where is deeper, the man – where is the best”. He works only if he sees a direct personal benefit for himself. Whatever he does, wherever he serves, the grabber always works only for himself. For the sake of the idea, for the sake of society, the grabber won’t work. On grabber “where you sit down – there you go down”. It is better for him to use piecework payment for labour. At the time rate, the grabber will work with “the left hand”: and why should he work at all if they pay for the time spent at work?
The most favourite position of grabbers in an army is a position of the supplier, quartermaster. At all times, in all countries, all peoples had quartermasters who stole supplies and rations. Not for nothing to say: “To whom – war, and to whom – mother dear”. Therefore, the order in the army always began to lead from the fact that the thieves-quartermasters were shot. Generalissimo Suvorov not for nothing said that any quartermaster, who served for two years in one place, can be hung without trial and investigation.
MISTRUST
Another feeling associated with the role of the grabber is a feeling of distrust, suspicion, doubt, scepticism.
The grabber is extremely distrustful. Like Thomas unbeliever, he will not believe until he feels it.
Thomas… told them:
if I see wounds on His arms from nails,
and do not put my finger in wounds from nails,
and do not put my hand in His ribs I will not believe.
(John 20:24,25)
Mistrust creates a way to check everything. The grabber never asks the road once. At first, he will ask the road from one passerby, and then will begin to ask the same about the other.
Mistrust and suspicion generates grabbers to have such feature of the character, as caution, circumspection, the desire to “keep their head down”.
Greed together with distrustfulness makes grabbers to be thrifty. Especially they like to stock up with gratuitous or cheap things. They have long-term stocks, and at the real grabbers – and multiten-year stocks.
