Surface, Quality, Comprehension

Superficiality as the quality of a person - the propensity is primitive, shallow, outwardly, in a hurry to perceive the world around.

                   It's ridiculous to live between depth and height. No fish, no meat, neither there nor there. The mind, in order to soar to the heights of the human spirit, must break through the shroud of the surface and cognize the deep secrets of life, hidden from the superficial glance. Cognition is infinite. To get to the depths, of course, it is impossible, but, as they say, it is necessary to strive for this. If a person slides on the surface of phenomena, if he ignores the search for their essence, let him prepare himself for life lessons to correct mistakes made.

Superficiality is a door that is closed to practical knowledge. You can load your memory with information from all possible encyclopedias and at the same time remain a superficial person. The amount of information accepted by the mind will go into quality, if a person first memorizes it, then comprehends and then applies it in life. A fanatic or gullible person will grab the first information that comes to his ears and stop at this. Analyze, compare and compare with previous knowledge, he can not either lazy to do it. He was also not used to doubting information. Stuck at the stage of blind, not critical perception of information, he replenishes the army not only of superficial people, but also of its concrete forms of incarnation-fanatics, light-bearers, sectarians, etc. In other words, superficiality often manifests itself in the form of fanaticism and credulity.

Comprehension is the enemy of superficiality. A superficial person grabs information, but does not comprehend it and does not try to check in real life. He, as a frivolous buyer, will carelessly twist knowledge in his hands and set it aside. For example, a person has read a lot of books about the dangers of smoking, knows the book Allen Carr's "Easy Way to Quit Smoking", but continues to "grind" two packs of cigarettes a day. Proc from his informative knowledge is no. It is a passive form of superficiality.

The active form of the surface is realized through people incapable of perceiving the new. The army of superficial critics is incalculable. Its first sign is an unwillingness to listen. Not having heard a word from her opponent, she is ready to fight. Hearing involves obedience, that is, a humble, not bellicose, hearing. If you listen to another person as a novice, the meaning of his words reaches the mind. When a person turns on his false ego, he thinks about what he will say. Listening to another person, it does not occur to him. His psyche is set on antagonism. The virus of selfishness corrodes so much the mind and mind of the individual that it really hurts to listen to other people's opinions. It is hard for her to sit in one place, she fidgets, worries or openly rushes to prove her case, interrupts, contradicts, condemns and accuses. It should be noted that if the false ego struck the mind and the mind of a person, he becomes immune to new knowledge, his personal growth is completed, he can leave, only on the baggage of past merits. A sad diagnosis. It is clear that he is becoming a full-fledged volunteer of the army of superficial people.

Worst of all, when superficiality imagines itself deep and actively proves it to others. Aggressive ignoramus, who consider himself the personification of learning and wisdom, is a militant squad of superficiality. For example, such a pseudo scientist studied in depth the study of butterflies. The whole world he sees now through the wing of a butterfly - cabbage. By means of butterflies, he is ready to explain any phenomenon, situation and relationship. In a word, as in an anecdote. The student is asked: What are you thinking about when looking at a brick? "About women." "Why?" "Ah, I always think about them. Instead of realizing that the problem with butterflies is so complex and multifaceted, how complex the world is, it deflects the whole world to its problem and simplifies it to the level of the relationship between butterflies. In other words, specialized knowledge in the hands of superficial ignoramuses becomes a grenade in the apes' paws.

Surface people tend to think that there is always better where there are none. Therefore, they jump from place to place, their work record reminds them of Karl Marx's Capital. Not seeing the trees behind the trees, they are chasing the stranger away from their native forest. Fussiness and overemployment of modern life only add oil to the fire of superficiality. In the race for happiness, there is no time to comprehend the essence of what is happening in life, to penetrate into the depths of human relationships.

Superficiality is a "gallop across Europe". During the tour, the man went to a cozy cafe. He was seduced by an appetizing soup. "Are you from this bus?" The waiter asked politely. He nodded. "Then there's no soup, since you're from this bus." You can order only sandwiches. For cooking, I spent three hours, and you do not have more than ten minutes to eat. I can not allow you to eat a dish that you can only taste the taste of which you can only superficially because of the lack of time.
