Philosophical thoughts and sayings: a well of practical wisdom

Philosophical thoughts are peculiar not only to recognized and distinguished thinkers and scientists. We can draw them from literature. But, as a matter of fact, there is still no one opinion among researchers about what is the very "love of wisdom" and what it is closer to - science or culture. After all, this area of human reflection does not give us precise formulas, and if it describes the world, it basically tries to find some global connections between phenomena and objects, and not the laws of specific systems. But when it comes to the practical problems of human life, in this respect it can give a hundred points ahead to any science.

Philosophical thoughts often encourage people to think about who they are. After all, others will understand us better if we know ourselves. Such thoughts prompt people to answer ill questions - can one accept loneliness, how to recognize good and evil in this volatile, transient and to some extent illusory universe. They warn us about the deceitfulness of the outside, about how cunning can be hidden behind a decent view, and what treasures can be found among seemingly weeds and debris if we look aggressively. Poets, writers, writers and theologians of all time have tried to determine what is dignity, kindness, courage, resentment, prudence and how they relate to each other.

Philosophical thoughts often raise the problem of love and jealousy, life and death. They describe the vanity and, at the same time, the beauty of human existence, comparing it to grass that tends to the slightest wind and is subject to death. Egoism and the desire to own others they call a telescope, exaggerating any suspicion, and the truth - a similar oil that pops up on top of any deceitful water, no matter how much it is not poured. Eternal values and our confidence in their truth are also the result of thinking of wise people. Sometimes philosophical thoughts console us by saying that death and time heal any pain, sometimes they call for patience and the ability to wait, and sometimes they offer us an example of what a person should be.

Happiness, the ability to deserve it and use it have also repeatedly become a topic for reasoning and accurate statements. Is not a good friend getting a person who first of all demonstrates the ability to communicate and love? Unless one who has not noticed the joys provided by life has the right to complain and whine when they pass, and he finally realizes what he has lost? Philosophical thought teaches us to distinguish between the genuine and the fake, and the clever from the stupid, and do not spend much time and nerves on people belonging to the latter category. They advise us to do and speak on time and at the right time, and not aimlessly and without thinking about the consequences. They suggest not to lose optimism in any situation, because there can always be a door to exit. And at the same time warn that death is inevitable and it can not be corrected.

But with the inexorability of the end, we are not all philosophical sayings. After all, it may be that our life is only a dream. Sometimes we dream of sweet dreams, sometimes nightmares, but there will come a time when we finally wake up. And then we will see the present, the true being. And if we are still bad, then the end of this illusory vision has not come yet.

But is there anything true in this sublunary world? Yes, many thinkers tell us. This is Love. She can save the world, she can move the sun and the luminaries, she makes people closer and makes them forget about alienation. It gives the person the opportunity to be sincere and to say out loud even the most secret thoughts, not being afraid of the presence of a loved one.

Sometimes they say that the main features of Russian philosophy are the ability to see the unity existing between religion, the science of wisdom, poetry and literature. Not without reason, despite the diversity of views and the opposite of positions, including political ones, many domestic writers, art historians and theologians almost simultaneously gave us a whole storehouse of ideas and statements, to which the modern culture, including the West European paradigm, is still oriented. Dostoevsky showed the world the depths of the fall of the human soul and at the same time its ability to rise from the depths of evil. Tolstoy rethought the notion of what Christian values and ideals are. Berdyaev tried to combine personal experience and moral aspects of righteousness. Whatever it was, these thoughts and traditions became part of the world's treasury of culture.
