"Happiness loves silence." The meaning of the phrase is a topic for a psychologist and philosopher

The remarkable poet I. Bunin in the poem "The Evening" pondered happiness in August 1909. The day was drawing to a close, the hero withdrew his eyes from the books he read, stared at the edge of a white cloud, heard the threshing of threshing floor in the threshing floor and unexpectedly dissolved into happiness, although he assumed that the person does not see enough and knows to be able to be happy.

What is the poet thinking about?

About the eternal, which is understood through simple, not simplistic, but the most natural. Silence and serene peace simply enter the soul of the lyrical hero through visual and sound sensations. Perhaps, indeed, happiness loves silence. The meaning of the phrase - Attentive look at the usual, try to consider the beauty in the ordinary. The conclusion, which is being made: happiness is the fusion of a beautiful and perfect external world and a rich inner world. To feel it, it is enough just to stop the running of everyday life, look around and look into yourself.

Another facet

Why is man born? Hero V.G. Korolenko believed that "man is born for happiness, like a bird for flight," that is, for action or freedom. Hence, if happiness loves silence, the meaning of the phrase contradicts the assertion of Korolenko. There it is, happiness - in an active influence on the situation! But the active action is not available to the hero of his essay "Paradox". A wretched invalid without hands could only meditate and bitterly dream of happiness, which was not created for him. And yet, in spite of everything, the author of the life-affirming aphorism is precisely the cripple.

How did Pushkin think? A. Block? S. Yesenin?

A. Pushkin did not find happiness in the world. For him there was only "will" and "rest". Most likely, they are associated with him with happiness, which in itself is, in the opinion of the poet, an unattainable ideal.

This is echoed by A. Blok. The lyrical hero of his poems was convinced that happiness is a shaky childhood dream. He talks about it, full of gentle sadness.

S. Yesenin said: "Here it is, stupid happiness." His nostalgic poem he wrote in 1918 in the noisy Moscow, where he recalled his village. There, in silence, a gentle girl sings a white song with pink cheeks. So, according to Esenin, happiness loves silence. The meaning of the phrase is A quiet sunset behind the pond, in the chill stretching from the evening field, in blooming Kalina. This is a return to youth, which is gone forever and can only be remembered. But the poet himself in Moscow was as natural as he was in his childhood, he could not live. And apparently he was not happy.

What is man thinking about?

Perhaps, not about happiness, about him, as I. Bunin said, we just remember. It is either there or not, according to subjective sensations. It's just that a person always needs something, and he goes after it tangibly material. But for life, without special tricks, without loud pathetic phrases the saying "happiness likes silence" is quite suitable. After all, the more sincere we speak, the quieter our words. We do not prove anything in the heat of a dispute, we just offer our point of view. And it's best to peer into your loved ones in silence, then you see their true beauty.

"Happiness loves silence," - who said?

Poet Yu Kalugin wrote a heartfelt poem with this phrase. It is calm and very wise. It's just a calm look, kind words, pronounced not on holidays, but every day. The poem says that one should not flaunt happiness. It must be carefully stored and appreciate a loved one for the fact that he is always there - in a difficult moment, and in joy. Do not let stupid quarrels over trifles, because of life, we must try to understand and forgive, something to do yourself. Then, in the eyes of the native, happiness will glisten, and next time he will take an example from you, embrace and help. It's better not to think about what will happen next. You just need to trust someone who is near you. But the surrounding people better not be entrusted with their condition. They can envy and frighten him. We should rejoice in silence, looking into each other's eyes. And you can never betray those who believe in you. Indeed happiness loves silence. The meaning of the phrase - keep it, do not let go of your happiness. That's all wise and simple advice of a good man.

You can add that if there is love in the house, then silence comes by itself, no extra words are required. People understand each other without words. They are surrounded by silence, as a protection against storms and anxieties of the outside world. You can wish this to anyone who wants to live in harmony with the world around them without philosophizing slyly. And we always need to remember that happiness, like the Blue Bird - while you are looking for the world at the other end of the world, it slips away from you. And he returned to his father's house, stopped fussing, and here it is, happiness, already at his home. He sits with you in the kitchen and drinks tea.
