"Limited man" is a concept that almost every self-respecting person abhors. This is understandable, no one would want to consider themselves like that. Yes, only those who see limitations in others willingly publicize their meaningful opinion, which, however, does not deprive them of such an unflattering "status".
Limited Man: Definition
The limited nature of the individual is explained by its inability, due to the defeat of the mind by egoism and ignorance, to adequately perceive new knowledge if they contradict the beliefs, attitudes, beliefs that he has. Few people think about it, but an egoist is a person who has limited himself on absolutely all fronts.
Such a comprehensively limited person is unlikely to extract meaning from read dissertations and scientific papers. This individual always remains on the margins of development.
The Problem of the Limited Man
The essence of such a person is that, having accumulated some kind ofbaggage of knowledge, he ceases to absorb new knowledge from outside. The brain of such a person is atrophied by his own ignorance and selfish approach to life. Say, he has seen a lot, read a lot, and everyone around is heresy, and in general: why do you need these “Internets”? The trouble of a limited person is large-scale, because, not wanting to change and listen to the opinions of others, such a person terrorizes those around him with his arrogant and arrogant behavior.
As a result, such a person causes open hostility in some, banter and pity in others. New knowledge cannot pave a path into the consciousness of a limited person, because they cannot get around the “Chinese wall” of his egoism.
Personal barrier
The catastrophe is that such a person literally experiences a strong disgust in relation to someone else's world outlook. We can observe such people at symposiums, at open lectures, etc., it is they who frantically stroke their beard and loudly indignant if, for example, their precious opinion differs from that of the speaker. Here already write wasted: swearing flows like a river, and if one egoist stumbles upon another egoist, the listeners are provided with a whole battle of opinions and “measuring beards”. What kind of science are we talking about, what kind of common sense? Hey, here, in fact, a person was touched to the quick, insulting him with his "wrong and vulgar" views. Then the unfortunate rushed: especially faithful slaves of egoism do not miss the opportunity to foam at the mouth to prove their unshakable and only true opinion. The mind blocked by egoism is not capable of further development andimprovement. The not always meritorious academician is superior to the criminal or drunkard who has embarked on the right path, because he, having overcome his own obstacles, decides to stop in a safe haven of inaction after a series of victories and failures.
He hinders his own development, as his mind, conserved by the knowledge of past years, is unable to develop and progress anymore. And if a person does not grow above himself, then he degrades. First of all, you need to jump over yourself, and not be equal to others. This is what characterizes a great personality, and a spontaneous person is characterized by the fact that he constantly makes small victories over himself. A limited person is deprived of such an understanding: he has enough achieved peaks and status, which could be boasted at every corner.
Learning is light, and ignorance is darkness
In this world, we are all disciples. The opposite of a limited person is a person who is open to new knowledge, that is, a kind of platform for constantly absorbing new information. Realizing this fact helps a person avoid the morass of narrowness.
In turn, an unlimited person will never say that he is smart and knows enough, because the world is immense, and there is no counting of knowledge in it. Life is the sculptor of our being, it skillfully sculpts a person using materials such as experience and knowledge. Having made a revolution in his mind, a person can move forward, because nothing else will keep him on the path to self-development.
"Cerberus"consciousness
False ego is the guardian on the path to development. Having saturated the feelings and mind of the individual, it does not let changes into a person's life that can in any way disturb the apparent idyll of his existence. A person who has fallen into the quagmire of egoism and ignorance applies in everything the ossified knowledge that he received when he was not yet limited by them. The limitation of a person does not lie in his education, status or age. Any old woman in the village can turn out to be an unlimited person due to her ability to listen and try to understand other people, as if "trying on their shirt." And even if she confuses an ostrich with a Strauss, her mind may turn out to be inquisitive and lively, ready to improve and learn from new experiences. Such a person will not disdain the information brought to him, he will listen carefully and try to understand what was said, digest it in his head and leave this grain of knowledge in his memory. As Yogi Bhajan said, we are all what we associate ourselves with, that is, by attuning ourselves to connection with infinity, we turn ourselves into an endless stream of information, and not a narrow line of knowledge.
Restrictions
When talking about limitations, people often confuse the concept of a limited person with the concept of a "physically limited person." The latter implies the impossibility of someone performing some actions inherent in an ordinary he althy person. However, such people can also fall into the clutches of the limitations of the mind. Being stuck in their physical body and seeing their "inferiority", they put pressure on the conscience of others, forcing the latter to worry about them andfeel guilty about your he althy body.
Having fallen into the trap of his thinking, such a person, in addition to being physically limited, also limits his consciousness. There are many examples in the world of how people with disabilities break out of comfort, find the willpower to move forward and improve their lives. Such people, who have overcome the barrier of their sacrificial consciousness, are worthy of true reverence, because they are a real example of how, using their inner resources, a person can do great and incredible deeds.
