Self
provides a number of actions aimed at discipline, limiting the development of
the will and a number of other parameters. When viewed from the side, you'll
find a number of similarities modern humans, and the representative of
antiquity or the Middle Ages. Self-improvement is akin to asceticism. A person
needs a period that would have to learn to control himself, to weigh thoughts,
act rationally.
In
the Middle Ages, it was permissible due to the complete withdrawal from
society, keeping a lonely life, or, as is called, the small hermit.
Small
hermit involves self-discipline and control over their actions, being cut off
from society. It is entirely justified and acceptable at the initial stage. But
man is an element of society, and its value varies from abilities impact on the
world and other individuals. Personal development for the sake of self - a
dead-end process. Austerity alone - this is only a model of behavior that is
destroyed in a collision with the objective world.
The
term "Big hermit" means preservation of the principles of discipline,
control of behavior, already included in the society. Resistance priest learned
in a brothel. A person who is able to control himself in the group of people -
and is able to influence them.
The
modern world gives us plenty of opportunities for arranging their own
"caves". From food to order and remote work - finishing minimalist
design and techniques of self-development.
Also,
the world produces more temptations of options for personalization and blurs
the line between necessary and unnecessary. The same consumerism, nothing but a
medieval "gluttony". A man fills his life with things that show the
status of a subjective, not reinforcing it to their functionality.
Being
a hermit, and remain valid unit of society - it's really hard. But the
possibility of a rational view of the world, far more than the fruits of
blindly following the herd instinct.
