48. THE CULTIVATION OF THYME
Dimitris K. Bakas
Dec thinking only, also we feel, that is we live our lives. And the experience is done with the "heart"! With the emotion. But be careful, not the formlessThe formless inner world causes darkness in our soul..
Only when we give form to our inner space do we feel balanced. The forms, however, must also be graceful. That is, to live in beauty and the beauty.
The space of emotions is the source of motivation power of consciousnessFor the human personality, emotion is what the fuel oil for the car burner. No man has ever lived wisely, without using his intellect. But also No human being has ever lived intensely without emotional support..
Some people unthinkingly disapprove of the excitement that our emotions evoke. However, the latest scientific studies speak of its immense value. emotional intelligenceIt is a wonderful virtue, so again we have the need for meter.
Η A casual emotion is a dangerous force, because it makes us unfit for a purposeful action with mind and knowledge. Difficulty brings despair. Loss of composure, leading to unbridled fear, which in turn causes paralysis and paranoia.
The values of life, as is already known, they sprout in our emotional world, but their evaluation is done with the help of Reason. We think clearly and feel deeply, it's the combination for a victorious life.
Noble emotions are the creative motivations for action. Η love, courage, hope, patience, tolerance, are factors of positive reconstructionIn the same space of emotions also originates the will to taking actionBecause every value, as a relation to an object, covers a need, which comes from impulses, attitudes and behavior.
Herein lies the great importance of Art, in its general form. The aesthetic cultivation of ourselves. The search for and acquisition of the possibility of experiencing Beauty. Beauty in all its forms (beauty, finery, sublime, tragic, etc.) harmonizes the internal chaos with world order and harmony.
Beauty must be seen primarily as "interior" content and not to stop only at the pleasure of the eye, no matter how great this action may be. Let us see it flood the person's entire personality and radiate outwardly. This means giving, if possible, the infinite dimension of beauty, starting from the sensory stimulus to proceed to the aesthetic experience of beauty and beyond that to beauty of kindness and why not in sanctuary, the beauty of holiness.
The infinites should not be ignored either. beautiful aspects of simple everyday lifeWe mean the virtues of subtlety, as her decencys, of sinspiration delicacy, sensitivitys, her tolerance and elegance etc., which contain small "frequencies" of beauty, but are absolutely crucial in our lives, especially today, when we want to coexist and maintain uniqueness and individuality.
In our current culture, where the categorical imperatives of moral codes are very difficult to observe, only the aesthetic culture can create the appropriate climate for the development of a person's personality. Politeness, mutual respect, tolerance of the behavior of others, but also the decency and ancient Greek "charity» thrive only in one appropriate aesthetic space of the human soul.
Then a delicacy and sensitivity, which today's human relationships require, which in turn constitute high priority values.
Only in a climate flooded with noble feelings the greatest degree of freedom of people emerges. Then the thrives humanity of man.
Then they feel the emotion ofsatisfaction security confidence, which are the antidotes to fear and insecurity.
The Holy Days that are coming is an opportunity for emotional uplift.
