The philosophy of loss. What we have - we do not store, we lose - we cry

Proverbs are a true expression of what happens to people or the world around them. The people very accurately notes how human weaknesses and strength, and the phenomena of nature. In a short phrase there is a deep meaning, which can be conveyed by many different words. The proverb "What we have - we do not store, we lose - weep" from that category of popular wisdom, when one short phrase replaces long explanations.

Proverbs of the Russian language

The rich legacy left by the Russian people, from earliest times writing proverbs and sayings, concerns many aspects of life.

These centuries-old observations of people's actions and their consequences are at the heart of many Russian proverbs. "Friends are known in trouble," the people say, implying that only tests can show true friendship or not. And so in all spheres of life.

Proverbs about the loss of something as numerous in Russian folklore, for example: "What we have - do not store, lost - crying."

What we have is not stored

The first part of the statement is about people's habit of not paying attention to what they have right here and now, and not appreciate it. Human consciousness knows how to quickly adapt to any conditions, and get used to what surrounds it.

When a person enters into a person's life, for example, friendship, love or sympathy, then it is realized as important only for a while. Soon , a person's consciousness perceives a friend, lover or beloved as something that will always be there. With them you can quarrel, insist on your own, even leave and converge, and assume that it will be forever. In this case, it is very useful to recall the saying: "What we have - we do not store, we lose - we cry".

Love and friendship simply become a part of a person's daily life, and perception begins to dull, becoming a habit. To restore the need to consciously see a loved one or a friend and to perceive the importance of his presence in life helps separation. When loved ones or friends part, there is a spiritual emptiness that only their return can fill. It is at such moments that the importance of the presence of such people in life is realized.

Having lost - crying

It is more difficult when a loved person or friend dies or goes away forever. They will never be a part of a person's life. Such awareness really causes a feeling of irrecoverable loss, especially if it is associated with death. It is at such moments that the expression "Having - not stored, lost - weeping" becomes meaningful.

What has become a familiar part of life is gone, there is no return, and the depth of loss is realized only with loss. Very wise words said writer Lewis Stevenson: "It is not lost, what they do not regret." It is when a feeling of emptiness and pity for the lost is created that there is a crying for it.

And if it is easy to cope with the loss of things and work, it is sometimes very difficult to get a new, friendly or loving connection again.

Proverbs about the loss

Loss of something and regret in this regard are peculiar to people. It does not become a problem if a person takes the loss as a bygone past and releases it. Often pegging in the form of regret does not allow a new entry into people's lives, and then they start having problems.

This is a psychological problem . "Do not be a child, fight with loss," - so jokingly people spoke, offering a person to adapt to life with loss. This wise statement makes it clear that living in constant memories of something lost is a vain affair.

The same applies to the expression "What we have - we do not store it, we lose it - we cry." Proverbs and sayings on this topic suggest in time to appreciate what is right now.

Vasily Steklyannikov

Reasonings and thoughts about losses, how to return everything back, and how to live on is the basic philosophy that arises in the mind of a person who has learned from a proverbial life: "What we have is not stored, but lost - weep." Vasily Steklyannikov, a young Russian poet, wrote on this subject a poem in the style of rap in 2008.

This verse is devoted to lost love. The experience of the hero in this regard causes sadness and sympathy among the readers. The young man worries that he constantly destroys his own happiness, and he has to "close" his heart from love, so "do not torment with his tortured and already disheveled soul."

For the hero of the poem, everything ends sadly, he does not cope with the despair and sadness of the loss, so at dawn he gets into the car and at high speed does not fit into the turn. His destiny is to look at his beloved "from heaven" and regret it. Now her heart is broken and rusty with his heart.

This is a sad story about how a person does not appreciate what is next to him. This young man did not cope with the problem, so the proverb "What we have - do not store, having lost - crying" fits the text of the poem as well as possible.

The author was very good at revealing the essence of this expression. The conclusion to which every reader should come alone is the need to appreciate what is given to him. Do not take life and the whole world as a reality. Human life is too short to not pay attention to what surrounds us.

Work, life, problems - all this deprives people of the awareness of being. Unfortunately, it comes only after the loss of what, it turns out, was really expensive.

His poetry turns to a reader's soul rather than to his consciousness.

Reading about the sad fate of a young guy, every reader remembers the losses that are important to him. Everyone experiences loss in their own way, but the main thing is to get a lesson for life: value and love what you have right now. Not in the past, not "maybe someday in the future," but here and now.
