The phraseology "grated kalach": meaning, origin. How does the person get "grief"?

We are all admired by experienced people, but the question is how to define them? We propose to call the person who passed the fire, water and copper pipes, "grated kalach." Today we will consider the meaning of phraseology through the prism of the textbook example of grated kalacha in literature, Martin Eden, but first about the origin.

Origin

We are interested in the phraseology of everyday origin, namely the kitchen. Any housewife knows: in order to make some kind of pastry, it is necessary to prepare the dough properly.

Bread dough carefully knead. Earlier it was done by wives and mothers manually, now machines do it in factories, but nevertheless it does not cancel the "misadventures" of the test - it is crushed and torn. And only then, when the dough has reached the condition, there comes a moment of directly baking bread. Thus, the phraseology "grated kalach" as a characteristic suits a person who thoroughly shook, "squashed" life and "baked" something worthwhile from it.

None of the readers will argue that it is more pleasant to look and listen to a person who knows the value of a word, rubs and reason with knowledge of the matter, and does not sing from someone else's voice, does not translate book truths not imbued with his own sweat. Let us turn to examples. We consider the textbook image of grated kalach in the literature.

Martin Eden as an example of "grated kalacha"

Of course, there is no need to retell the entire plot of the masterpiece of Jack London, but it is important to understand: at the beginning of the novel, Martin Eden, although already quite an experienced sailor, but quite naive person. Why is that? Because his soul has not yet come in contact with real love, nor with genuine intellectual knowledge. Having met Ruth in her beautiful house full of books, She started the way to her true self.

We can say that at the very moment when a simple guy, Martin, recognized the girl Ruth, life began to cut out from the main hero of the novel of London a real living, experienced person who saw not only the shell. We remind you that it is precisely such a representative of the human race that can be defined by the expression "grated kalach" (the meaning was revealed a little earlier, in addition, it is clear from the context).

Further, as is known, began chasing Eden for the dream of becoming a writer. He did not do literary work (journalism), for fear that such work would spoil his style. For the sake of justice, real writers such as Ernest Hemingway and Sergei Dovlatov, verbally, in writing and in their life practice, refuted Martin Eden's thesis that journalism damages the literary gift. However, we are distracted.

Adulthood implies rejection of illusions

So, the hard work of the hero of London allowed to ripen internally and see the limitations of his love. On the one hand, Martin Eden was disappointed in a life without love, but on the other hand, a full maturation is impossible without farewell to illusions, empty hopes and pink dreams. It can be said that London provides a universal recipe for the stages of human maturation that everyone goes through. True, not everything ends as sadly as it was with the hero of the American writer.

Is it possible to avoid the fate of grated kalacha? Moral of phraseology

Of course, many can say that there is nothing good in the life of Martin Eden. Yes it is. He, of course, grated kalach, but what price did he pay for his experience? But the tragedy of life is that it is impossible to avoid the fate of grated kalacha.

There are lucky ones who were born in rich families. Such children were closed by parents from the sorrows of life, but even the Buddha, the son of a very rich man, rejected the deception that had for long dragged his true knowledge of being, and rushed into the arms of the world, having passed several human hypostases. He was both a rich man, an ascetic, and a teacher of wisdom.

"Tertility" is acquired only in the process of passing through spontaneously arising life situations, which in themselves can no longer happen again, but each of them necessarily teaches something, opens a door.
