People are taught from early childhood that they should have many friends. They must behave well not only in society, they need a good reputation, and this continues almost all their lives. In all why? Because one in the field is not a warrior. But what this saying means, we will explore in this article.
Fireman
There are such forms of human activity in which one has nothing to do: firefighters, police, doctors. In these professions, no matter how brilliant an individual subject is, he will not be able to cope without a team.
Imagine a house on fire. A firefighter runs to rescue people who have been captured by the fire. Even if we are very well disposed towards the hero, we are unlikely to believe that he can do it himself without a team, because one is not a warrior in the field. He at least needs partners to provide him with water and insurance just in case something happens.
Policeman
A lone policeman is more like a hero of crime series. You probably watched them on NTV. In real life, such heroes are unlikelycan be found. The maximum that a trained riot policeman can do is to pacify a gang of hooligans, but our Russian man cannot boast of feats in the spirit of the famous action movie icons of the 90s. And not even because he is bad; our man, perhaps, will give Hollywood actors a head start, but only now they act in an ideal world, where even bandits have some moral principles, albeit minimal ones, and our riot policeman is fighting crime in the real world, and here alone in the field is not a warrior.
Doctor
What is true of firefighters and rescue workers is also true of doctors. There are wonderful surgeons, they have golden hands, but they need a good team nearby.
Take the fictitious brilliant diagnostician Dr. Gregory House. He unraveled many complex cases, but his assistants did all the "dirty work" for him. Although if you do not pay attention to particulars, then House is a lone hero, but this is only at first glance. And even a crazy and cynical doctor is not a warrior alone in the field.
Professions made for singles. Writer
True, it cannot be said that a single person has no chance to change something in the world. There are professions where other people provide only technical support. In some professions, loneliness is a sine qua non for any success. That is the job of a teacher or a writer. Of course, the above-mentioned ones need a social field for implementation, but the representatives of these types of activity change all by themselves. The role of the publisher is great, who noticed and released a cult book, but, firstly, he did not write it himself, and secondly, he didthis is not out of the kindness of his soul, but because he saw in it a commercial, and, perhaps, some other sense. Thus, the proverb "one man in the field" can be invented by the writer in retaliation for the majority.
Teacher
Teachers also need an educational institution in order to translate their talent into something material, but the leaders of these "temples of knowledge", as a rule, do not help a capable person, but hinder him. Because the superiors always have their own tasks, and rarely are they as far-sighted as to free a talented person from some not very important tasks for the fulfillment of his mission. Thus, the teacher withstands double pressure: on the one hand, the social environment, and on the other hand, the pangs of creativity.
Fiction versus real life. Why do viewers love action movies so much?
Why were tough men from action movies so popular before? Now more and more superheroes (Iron Man, Spiderman, etc.) are acting on the screens, the tone has changed. The viewer is no longer so naive, he does not believe that the aging Jean-Claude Vam Damm will scatter all the bandits with his combat skill. Now, to become and be a hero, you need serious equipment.
Whoever shines on the screen, the viewer still walks. Because he wants to believe that one person can still change something in the world. Besides, we never grow up, in fact, which means we love fairy tales, as before.
On the contrary, brave schoolchildren, and not only them, cansay: “One warrior in the field! We'll write an essay about it! We can only wish them good luck in this difficult task. As we have seen, in life it can be both this and that. A person can become both a member of a well-coordinated team, and try to change something alone. The main thing is to choose the right sphere of application of your forces, because all paths are open.
