Destination is an interesting and mysterious word. Because when it comes to a knife or a fork, you can still say something. And when the question of a person is raised, then here many fall silent, because it is not clear what exactly is worth saying. There are too many definitions that a person easily absorbs into himself. But today we will not let ourselves be knocked off the pantalik and we will talk first of all about the meaning of the word "appointment", and the rest as it will turn out.
Meaning
Let's return to the relief, from our point of view, comparison of living and non-living. The first always delivers a lot of trouble when you need to determine its purpose. Even when it comes to animals. You can approach the issue objectively, that is, reduce the diversity of the animal world to a set of food chains and say something like this: the purpose of the simplest animals (and this suggests itself) is to be food for the higher ones. It is possible and so, but all depends on the point of view. To somehow-then we will orient ourselves, open the explanatory dictionary. And the last one says the following:
- Same as assign.
- Area, the scope of someone (or something).
- Purpose, purpose.
Of course, someone is eager to see various sentences with an object of study that would fully reveal the meaning of a noun. But it will have to wait. First, we must reveal the semantic content of the infinitive, without it it will be difficult to master the material. So the meaning of "assign" is:
- Mark, set determine.
- Put on some position, give a job.
And even a person who is really bad at math will understand that we need four sentences to cover all the meanings of the object of study.
Illustration sentences
Of course, purpose is a mysterious subject, but some of the meanings are obvious. The reader will have to endure for the lofty goal of acquiring new knowledge. However, towards the preface, we proceed:
- It was destiny's destiny.
- Our colleague received a high appointment. Evil tongues, of course, said that all this was undeserved.
- The purpose of the knife is to cut.
- The doctor's prescription is to treat.
The last two sentences are deliberately made according to the same principle, so that the reader can see how this technique is suitable for the subject and not for the person. But in general, of course, there is no deception here. Man really in modern society(and in any society) is associated with his profession first of all. Another thing is that a person is judged not only by his speci alty.
About people and cats
The concept of purpose is especially difficult to interpret when we leave the objective world and think about a person or animals. For example, if we talk about cats, it is also unclear why they are needed. It's one thing - a village, when the mustaches are predators that rid the house of rodents, and another - a city apartment, where there are no rodents, and the cat turns into a companion. Each other, but what about the appointment? This is an open question. Writer Alexei Ivanov in one book suggested that cats produce comfort. By the way, the same can be said about dogs and even fish.
With people the same story: the tougher the conditions of existence, the less questions about the appointment. In a caste society, such reflections generally do not arise, because everything is set by the social position of a person. We Westerners, entangled in the web of information technology, are relatively free in this respect. Of course, we fall into the snares of another slavery, but that's another story. And for us, the question of appointment is something that you have to choose all the time. Because everything can change every minute.
