Dead void cold darkness powerful flame. The problem of true friendship according to the text of I.A. Ilyin (USE in Russian)

Does true friendship exist in our time (excluding childhood friendship)? Real, selfless, time-tested, true, not false, between adults. It is not possible to give an immediate affirmative answer. And why? Because there are too many examples of betrayal and venality of the former most faithful friends.

What is happening to us humans? Has the world changed? No, the world is the same, but the values ​​of many have changed. Psychology true friendship specific: relationships between people are based on mutual trust, sincerity, understanding, common interests, disinterestedness, openness and mutual assistance.

"A friend in need is a friend indeed" , - this is what confirms who is next to you in difficult times, a kind of test for the truth of friendship. I didn’t lend a shoulder, I didn’t help, I found a reason for refusal - this is already "and not a friend, and not an enemy, but so" .

Delve into the content of films and series broadcast on television: all the time - the betrayal of girlfriends and friends. Are there no other themes? Of course I have. But the fact is that this topic of today is hot and relevant. I'm sure you've been betrayed too. It was very painful in your soul, you did not believe, did not understand, were indignant, but nevertheless ...

To hurt you, you need your enemy and your friend at the same time: the first will deceive you, and the second will tell you about it.
Mark Twain

The psychology of the enemy is simple - hidden envy, the desire to achieve a greater position than a friend, deceit and self-interest,. Maybe a hackneyed phrase “Now you can’t trust anyone, not even yourself” indeed the most relevant. Maybe you need to be more cautious and less gullible? But how can this be correlated with a friend or girlfriend with whom "bread humpback and that in half" , and shared so many years together « and hardships and hardships.

You can, and here's why. and the desire to live well, at the level of today (cars, apartments, business that "goes uphill", vacations in other countries) and higher has not been canceled. “A fish is looking for where it is deeper, and a person is looking for where it is better” works like never before. Most want to be "golden daddy", or "golden youth". And how to achieve this?! You can reach up for a long time and painfully, or you can betray and sell - this is a shorter path to the goal. Strange as it may sound, in my opinion, the true in our time is increasingly being tested by doing business together. It all depends on the moral values ​​of a person. Many do not consider it shameful to become a Judas.

True friendship is one of those things that, like giant sea serpents, is unknown whether they are fictional or exist somewhere.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Who became friends with you to gain benefits,
not your reliable friend, but your most terrible enemy.
A. Shukur

Still, be selective in your choice of friends.

To answer the 25th task, use the ANSWER FORM No. 2.

(1) Each of us has such times in life when the natural loneliness given to us by nature suddenly begins to seem painful and bitter to us. (2) You feel abandoned and helpless by everyone, you are looking for a friend, but he is not around. (3) And then you ask yourself in amazement and bewilderment: how could it happen that all my life I loved, desired, fought, suffered and, most importantly, served a great goal, but did not find either sympathy, understanding, or friend? (4) Why didn’t the unity of the idea, mutual trust and mutual love bind me with anyone into a living unity of spirit, strength and help?

(5) Then a desire awakens in the soul to find out how other people's lives are made up: how do they find real friends for themselves? (6) How did people live before us? (7) And has the beginning of friendship been lost in our days? (8) Sometimes it seems that it is modern man who is decidedly not created for friendship and is not capable of it. (9) And in the end you inevitably come to the main question: what is true friendship, what does it consist of and what is it based on?

(10) Of course, people now often “like” each other and “get along” with each other. (11) But, my God, how meager, superficial and groundless everything is! (12) After all, this means that they enjoy and have fun spending time together, or they know how to just please each other. (13) If there is a certain resemblance in inclinations and tastes; if both know how not to offend each other with sharpness, bypass sharp corners and hush up mutual differences; if both know how to listen with an amiable air to someone else's chatter, to flatter a little, to serve a little, then that's enough: a "friendship" is struck up between people, which, in essence, rests on external conventions, on smoothly slippery "courtesy", on empty courtesy and hidden account.

(14) There is a "friendship" based on joint gossip or on the mutual outpouring of complaints. (15) But there is also “friendship” of flattery, “friendship” of vanity, “friendship” of patronage, “friendship” of slander, “friendship” of preference and “friendship” of drinking companions. (16) Sometimes one borrows and the other lends, and both consider themselves "friends." (17) People do business and affairs together, not trusting each other too much, and think that they have “befriended”. (18) But “friendship” is sometimes also called a light, non-binding “hobby” that connects a man and a woman, and sometimes a romantic passion that sometimes separates people once and for all. (19) All these imaginary "friendships" come down to the fact that people, mutually outsiders and even aliens, pass each other, temporarily making life easier for themselves with superficial and disinterested contact: they do not see, do not know, do not love each other, and often their "friendship" breaks up so quickly and disappears so completely that it's hard to even say whether they were previously "acquainted" at all.

(20) People bump into each other in life and bounce off each other like wooden balls. (21) But true friendship breaks through loneliness, overcomes it and frees a person to living and creative love. (22) True friendship is spiritual love that connects people. (23) And spiritual love is the real flame of God! (24) Whoever does not know God's flame and has never experienced it, he will not understand true friendship and will not be able to realize it, but he will also not understand either fidelity or true sacrifice. (25) That is why only people of the spirit are capable of true friendship. (26) People without a heart and without a spirit are incapable of friendship: their cold, self-serving "alliances" always remain conditional and semi-treacherous; their prudent and ingenious associations are kept at the level of the market and careerism.

(27) A real person carries a certain hidden heat in his heart, as if a mysteriously red-hot coal lived in him. (28) It happens that only very few people know about this coal and that its flame is rarely found in everyday life. (29) Its light shines even in a closed space, and its sparks penetrate the universal ether of life. (Z0) All true friendship springs from these sparks. (31) This ejected spark of the spirit can be perceived and comprehended only by a spiritually alive and sparkling spirit, only by such a heart that loves and radiates itself. (32) Cold darkness absorbs everything without a trace. (33) Such a dead void cannot give an answer. (34) Fire strives for fire, and light reaches for light. (35) And when two fires meet, a new powerful flame arises, which begins to expand and tries to create a new, living "fabric" of fire.

(H6) The weakest ray of benevolence, compassion, careful and sensitive attitude of a person to a person already contains the beginning, the grain of true friendship. (37) The staircase begins already from the first step; and singing begins its melody already from the first sound. (According to I.A. Ilyin.)Ilyin Ivan Alexandrovich (1883-1954) - Russian philosopher, writer, publicist, author of the book “The Singing Heart. The Book of Quiet Contemplation.

Definition of friendship

Friendship is multifaceted, so it is not easy to give an exact definition of the concept. Philosophers, psychologists, sociologists interpret it in their own way. The main definitions of the term are as follows:

• Friendship is a relationship between people, which is based on help, trust, common views and values.
• If we consider it as a union based on affection, common interests, joint leisure, trust and selfless help, then this will be a complete definition of what true friendship is.

camaraderie and friendship

The concepts of partnership and friendship are similar, they are often confused. What is the difference between partnerships and friendships?

Partnership is understood as communication based on common interests, support. Often it becomes the basis of friendship. The main difference between one type of communication and another is the degree of trust. Friends trust each other, are ready to share the most intimate. Comrades are united by common interests and goals.

An example is students in the same group of students who are united by the desire to pass the session successfully, or colleagues working on the same project. Their interaction takes place within the walls of the university or office.

Comrades do not share their personal experiences, they do not pour out their souls to each other.

True friends are united not only by common goals, they are connected by some kind of spiritual kinship.

What is true friendship based on?

Often they say about true friendship - "do not spill water." What lies at its basis? In psychology, the following components of friendship are distinguished:

• union and affection;
• common values, joint or similar plans, goals;
• altruism;
• the trust;
• lack of competition.

Union and affection

A union is understood as a long-term relationship based on joint problem solving, mutual joy for the success of another.

Attachment or the need for communication is one of the main criteria for friendship.

It is important to understand the difference between friendship attachment and codependency (emotional dependency). In the case of co-dependent relationships, we can’t talk about friendship.

If it is with this person that you want to share everything - both joys and sorrows, without receiving depreciation or envy in return, then this is a true friend.

True friends are not manipulative, they are sincere and do not belittle each other's successes. If the so-called friend has a negative influence, dissuades from any undertakings, then he is not one.

Common values, joint plans

To understand what true friendship is, it is necessary to consider one more criterion - common values, goals and plans.

People with similar outlooks on life find a common language more easily. It doesn't matter what unites you: love for sports or computer games, the desire to know your inner world or earn a million, the main thing is that common values ​​and interests unite on a spiritual level.

Such a criterion as joint plans and goals follows from the previous one.

It is easier for people with the same worldview to make joint plans, to go towards similar goals. They become support and support for each other.

Often different plans for life alienate friends, turning them into friends or good acquaintances.

Altruism and trust

The answer to the question: "What is real friendship based on?" - will be: "On altruism." Without selfless help and a certain amount of self-sacrifice, there can be no real friendship. After all, a friend is helped not for the sake of profit, but at the behest of the soul. True friends are always ready to come to the rescue, without requiring gratitude.

With a true friend, they share their most intimate thoughts and experiences, receiving support in return, without fear of condemnation. True friendship is built on such trusting communication.

Lack of competition

Lack of competition is the basis of true friendship. Loyal friends do not envy, do not seek to "outdo" each other. A friend will rejoice in success. The achievements of one motivate the other without causing rejection. True friendship is a kind of field for personal growth.

How do you know if friendship is real?

In the life of every person there comes a moment when he reconsiders his views on the world and the people around him. Faced with problems and not finding understanding and support, a person wonders if he has friends? How to understand what kind of friendship is real, where is mutually beneficial communication?

• Friends accept you for who you are, with flaws and virtues. They may not agree with you on everything, but they will never encroach on your individuality. A friend will always help find something good in a difficult situation.
• True friends are near and in sorrow and in joy. They will not turn away if you fall from the pedestal, they will not envy success. It is the sincere joy of achievements and support in difficult times that determine true friendship.
• It is comfortable with a real friend, with him you are not afraid that personal secrets will become public.
• Friends don't gossip about each other behind their backs. They tell the truth to their face, even if it is unpleasant. A friend will not put pressure on you, constantly remind you of mistakes.
• A true friend is interested in you as a person.
• A real friend does not limit your freedom, does not try to control communication. You always have something to remember, something to laugh at, something to be silent about.

The answer to the question: "What is true friendship?" - will be: communication in which you can be yourself, without fear of condemnation, always counting on support.

Why is friendship needed?

Friends are a reliable rear, support in a difficult moment, people with whom it is pleasant to share joy. Life without them would be lonely and gray.

Does true friendship need arguments in its favor?

More likely no than yes. Still, it's worth mentioning a few.

According to psychologists, a person can achieve success in various areas of life due to several criteria: 20% is due to personal experience and knowledge, type of thinking, and 80% is the environment. True friends do not pull down, they strive for development.

For example, a young man decides to quit smoking, a real friend will never offer him a cigarette, will not smoke in front of him, will accept his choice and support him.

A person who has a true friend will never be alone. He has stronger immunity, and he is less prone to depression and neuroses.

Friendship Examples

In history, the relations between Pushkin and Pushchin serve as examples of true friendship. The friendship that began between the lyceum students lasted a lifetime, despite various vicissitudes of fate.

The friendly relations between Anna German and Anna Kachalina (music editor of the Melodiya studio) helped the Polish singer gain popularity in the Soviet Union.

There are many examples of strong friendship among Hollywood stars, here are some of them.

The friendship of Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey began while working together on the film "Dallas Buyers Club", which brought friends well-deserved Oscar statuettes.

Another stellar example of true friendship is Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. Their friendship has been going on for 25 years. Actors can be seen together at basketball or football games.

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are an example of how friendship works. Their joint film works are always successful, and friendship lasts for more than one year.

In Russian cinema, an example of true friendship is the relationship between Konstantin Khabensky and Mikhail Porechenkov, which began in their student years.

But friendship happens not only among people, but also among our smaller brothers. An example is the amazing story of two dogs - the basset hound Fubi and the retriever Tilly. When Fubi fell into the well, the friend stayed by his side, and that's how the volunteers were able to find the animals.

Examples of friendship in literature

Friendship underlies many novels, short stories, plays.

Below are examples of true friendship from literature that do not leave readers indifferent.

The most striking and dramatic example of friendly relations is Remarque's novel Three Comrades. The story of three friends (Robert Lokamp, ​​Otto Kester, Gottfried Lenz) who went through the war and survive in difficult years for Germany. Friends are together in joy and in sorrow, and even death is not able to destroy their friendship.

The main characters of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" - Frodo and Sam - are an excellent example of friendly mutual assistance, when a true friend remains close to the very end.

“The Tale of Friendship and Not Friendship” by the Strugatskys is an example of how you can pass any test for the sake of a friend.

Dumas and his "Three Musketeers" tell about friendship, honor and nobility, which are not afraid of years.

"The Little Prince" by Saint-Exupery in simple words tells about love and friendship. And the relationship between the Fox and the Little Prince captivates with simplicity and touchingness.

True friendship is priceless, it is she who makes a person happy. It is for the sake of friends and loved ones that a person is capable of much.

Interest or a common enemy - the basis of friendship? What is true friendship and what is it based on?

What is true friendship and what is it based on? Mutual understanding, support, the joy of communication, harmony, laughter and fun - these words come to mind when the word friendship is mentioned. Friendship is a great power. It is she who changes people beyond recognition, makes them open up, exposing their soul to another person, makes them much more vulnerable and vulnerable, but, being true, it shelters from harsh reality, protects from sorrows, shares joys, helps to overcome difficulties. On what basis do people converge and how is this bright feeling born? Often true friends are united by spiritual and spiritual kinship, common deeds and interests, similar views on the world and life goals. But sometimes not only this leads to such relationships, sometimes common enemies are able to unite people more effectively. However, how durable, strong and sincere will such friendship be? Is the game worth the candle?

In the famous novel in verse by A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin", the author depicts the unusual friendship between Onegin and Lensky. Why is she unusual? These two are completely different and different people. One is a melancholic and impassive aristocrat. The second is an ambitious and cheerful poet. The first has long lost faith in love, the second is in love with the beautiful Olga without memory. It would seem that these people have absolutely nothing in common. But something pushed them to communicate. They were smart, educated, and both of them were burdened by secular society. This hatred of the hypocrisy, lies and resourcefulness of the upper strata of society rallied young people. However, the pseudo-friendship did not last long. Soon Lensky challenges Onegin to a duel in response to an insult to his feelings. There, in a duel, Eugene kills an imaginary friend. What kind of friendship can be so easily killed? Unless it's real. Lensky was not important to Onegin, he did not value him as a friend, their friendship was superficial and created only for appearance. And relationships based on common enemies can sometimes lead to such consequences.

As a second argument to my work, I would like to cite the history of relations from the novel "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy. The friendship between Pierre Bezukhov and Andrei Bolkonsky was also not clear to everyone. Bolkonsky - gallant, stately, intelligent. Pierre is big and clumsy. Bolkonsky is always expected, his opinion is valued. Pierre is shunned, they laugh at him. However, they were united by common views on the world, understanding of good and evil, perception of the surrounding reality. Bolkonsky's monologue is an important indicator of the purity and strength of their friendship. Andrei opens up to a friend, shares his thoughts and feelings about the war. He sadly says that for the officer class, war is a toy, just another way to earn a cross or a ribbon. This friendship was strong and bright, it was real. And who knows how much more she would have endured if the war had not separated her friends. After all, true friendship is really hard to break.

Thus, I believe that true friendship cannot be based on common enemies, then it will be superficial and insincere, and this can lead to dire consequences. That is why friends should be chosen, and true friendship should be valued.

True friendship is what brightens up the everyday life of every person. And it is good friends that help us to experience happy moments more vividly and easier - difficult ones.

Reflecting on friendship, D.S. Likhachev seems to be asking questions: “Who are they - true friends? When do they appear in a person's life?

The author tells us about his life path and the role of friends in it. He contrasts his expectations with the subsequent fate. Likhachev, as a young man, thought that, having entered adulthood, he would make new good friends, change beyond recognition

His social circle. But it turned out that those with whom he became close during his school years were his most faithful friends throughout his life. This story from the author's personal experience confirms his position: true friends are those we make in youth.

I agree with Likhachev. In my opinion, those with whom we became close at the beginning of life help us to go through it all. Such people are true friends.

First, they, having gone through many trials with us, know and understand us like no one else. An example is the friendship between Pierre and Andrei Bolkonsky in the epic novel “War and Peace” by L. N. Tolstoy. They began to be friends as young people, full of high aspirations and hopes. Then both had a difficult fate, losses and partings. But after many years, it is Pierre who understands his friend and helps him look at life with new eyes, find hope when Andrei loses faith in possible happiness after the death of his wife.

Secondly, it is comfortable to communicate with old friends, you can always be sure of them. So, for example, after moving to another city, a lot has changed in my life and the life of my mother. There was a different circle of friends, new friends. But the old, most faithful and devoted friends always help mom, no matter what it takes.

So, friends who appear in youth share with us all the successes and hardships throughout our lives. And such true friendship supports everyone on his way.
