Society helpfully offers people almost ready-made models of life - choose any set of frameworks and restrictions, follow, do not waste resources on unnecessary risks, do not think, do not suffer from doubts about the correctness of your choice. Only Too many people are gnawing inside with the feeling that they are “living someone else’s life.” Most people immediately pull themselves together: “You don’t live in peace. Your life is good, what do you mean, “alien”? What's yours? Do not you know? So don't hesitate. Only a fool would exchange stability for obscure castles in the air.” The experience of friends and relatives, often personal experience also reinforces this idea: even if everything in your swamp is already sick to the point of nausea and has long become cramped, but this is not a reason to risk the satiety and stability that it gives Time passes and at some point there is a person whose patience turns out to be less than ironclad. His dream gnaws at him from the inside. And here a huge danger awaits him: If he rushes to destroy his old life and build a new one on its ruins, he may end up very disappointed. Either the dream will not be so rosy, or in pursuit of it a person will lose something important that he does not even consider as such yet. In the book “What Nietzsche was Sad About,” one of the heroes is tormented by the fact that his parents chose a bride for him and literally married him by force. But when he is offered to at least mentally replay his life, he is surprised to discover that he actually loves his wife. There is even a moment in the book where he says to his wife: “I choose you.” That is, in order to be happy next to this woman, he lacked a small tick - the feeling that this was his choice. But he practically decided to divorce her. Purpose as a dubious concept To be fair, it is worth noting that a person is too multifaceted for him to be, like a part of a mechanism, “sharpened” for a certain activity, but not suitable for anything else. For many years, people have chosen a business for the rest of their lives, and now the opportunity to possess several serious skills at once seems wild to many. However, modernity reveals the concept of “purpose” in a new way. The world now offers a person an endless number of opportunities. It is difficult to remember an era when people were more free to manage their lives. And yet, for any person there are a number of areas where he could realize his best. At birth, a person is given a set of tools in the form of abilities. And throughout his life, he already chooses his favorite instrument. And this is precisely his favorite of the most productive ways of implementation and can be called the path of inner truth. It represents the ideal balance for a person between a dream, reliability and stability. This path is not a bit easier than the desire to make a dream come true, or than many years of work in a dull job. This path is even more filled with risks and problems. But it has one huge advantage - on this path a person receives all the emotions necessary for a happy life in the amount that he needs. Not a single novel, hobby or dozens of pleasures can saturate a person as emotionally as the path of inner truth. Signs of such a path: A person likes what he does; Others like it; It brings a good income, or the highest spiritual satisfaction. For the emotions received, a person forgives all the negative aspects of his work.
