Let's talk about what is sometimes missing. Sometimes marriages, families, friendships fall apart just because they don't exist. Who is she? This is support.
Uncovering the meaning of the concept, we will select synonyms for it. This phenomenon is sometimes underestimated, sometimes overestimated, but we will try to give it its due.
Meaning
A person needs support from an early age until the last days. She is never redundant. As the mother of Garp, a character in John Irving's book The World Through Garp's Eyes by John Irving, she correctly believed that people at 22 need love much more than people at 2. Therefore, support is something that is never superfluous. However, in order for the conversation to be substantive and interesting, it is worth revealing the meaning of the noun "support":
- Same as support.
- Help, assistance.
The dictionary clearly asks us to linger and find out also the semantic content of the infinitive "support". How can we refuse our friend and colleague? Never! Sometimes books need support too. Okay, jokes aside. Meaning of "support":
- Holding, don't let fall.
- Give someone help, assistance.
- Agreeing, approving, defending.
- Don't let it stop, break.
To understand what the word "support" means, let's pick up understandable examples.
Instances of use
Since the infinitive comes first in the dictionary, we will illustrate its meanings.
A man is walking with a friend and sees a huge puddle ahead, but his friend is carried away by the story and does not notice the obstacles on the way. Then a person supports a comrade by the arm, and everything is in order. None of them, literally or figuratively, got into a puddle.
The second meaning of the verb is also quite easy to provide with an example. Now is the time of wide popularity of charity. People who are a little more fortunate in life help those who are unable to pay for treatment. What do millionaires do in this case? They provide support, that's understandable, but what is the meaning of the noun in this case? Of course, the second.
The third meaning is used more in debates on important issues. Two people talk, express their points of view, and people support either one or the other, depending on their sympathies.
The fourth value can be different. But it is most convenient to return to the conversations. When we maintain a conversation out of politeness, we make sure that it does not stop, does not dry out. To be honest, conversations out of courtesy are quitepainful pastime.
The second meaning of the word "support" partly echoes the meaning of the infinitive, so we will not cover it separately.
Synonyms
Let's make a tautological pun and say: sometimes support needs support. Therefore, a section with semantic substitutions will not be superfluous. Their list follows:
- help;
- support;
- promotion;
- help;
- help;
- protection.
We have collected various nouns under one roof to make it easy for the reader to choose if needed. Choice is what our modern civilization is proud of, and we do not want to be left behind.
Five books that will give support and infect with the desire to live
We have already understood that support is very important. There are myths and legends that only children or, in extreme cases, teenagers need help, and adults are strong, so they can handle it that way. Of course, this is not true. It's hard for everyone. Therefore, we decided to help and recommend books that set you in the right way to perceive life:
- K. S. Lewis "The Chronicles of Narnia".
- Brothers Strugatsky "Noon, XXII century".
- E. Hemingway "The Old Man and the Sea".
- U. Groom Forrest Gump.
- S. King "Rita Hayworth, or The Shawshank Redemption"
It is impossible not to say at least a few words about each book.
“Chronicles of Narnia is recommended to be read by everyone who is desperately ill, not only because it is a fairy tale, but because these books have a hugeamount of light and heat. The works of C. S. Lewis will warm even the most icy heart.
“Noon…” shows the world of a utopia of work in which everyone works, and works with pleasure. Read to all those who believe that work is a heavy burden. Of course, there is a fair amount of "Sovietness" in the book, but this is not scary, because the true and true value of the work lies elsewhere.
E. Hemingway, W. Groom and S. King provide direct support (and this suggests itself) to all those who find themselves in a difficult life situation. The books of these authors say: "The meaning of life is always there!" The conclusion is extremely encouraging.
The need for support is a universal trait
There are images of real men and real women. A real woman is weak, beautiful and relies on a man for everything. A real man is strong, independent and does not need anyone. His only weakness is his love for a woman. Almost poster images. In reality, everyone needs support, and both adults and children understand this. It is very difficult to carry, for example, a family alone, and it doesn't matter who it is: whether the woman is left alone or the man is the only one who works in the family. Everyone needs a vacation, and also the understanding that if you get sick, the world will not collapse. In other words, it's good when you have hope and support, the value of support cannot be overestimated.
