A wonderful word has come to our attention. Brotherhood is the object of study. As always, the meaning, synonyms and interpretation will be given. We will also analyze why a person strives for cooperation with his own kind.
Meaning
Everyone who even thinks about the object of research will feel good at heart. Because ideological brothers, like-minded people are needed by everyone. Understanding is still a terribly scarce commodity, and it cannot be obtained just like that. The open explanatory dictionary does not share our enthusiasm, and silent reproach emanates from its pages. Yes, it is time to enlighten the reader as to what brotherhood is. We offer two values to choose from:
- Same as commonwe alth.
- Name of some monastic orders, religious organizations, societies.
So whether we like it or not, we will have to open the dictionary on the page where the noun commonwe alth is located and convey its meaning to the reader. It is as follows:
- Mutual friendship, friendly unity.
- The association of someone or something, based on friendship, on a common interest.
Howan illustration of the first meaning of the word brotherhood, the story of the acquaintance of Gaidai and Nikulin is recalled. They were imbued with instant sympathy for each other, as if they had opened the door only to the world known to them, as film historians say. And the thing is that both the famous director and the wonderful actor went through the war and were front-line soldiers. And this fighting brotherhood automatically made a person theirs if he had the same experience.
For the second meaning, the well-known abbreviation of the CIS, the Commonwe alth of Independent States, is suitable for all of us. It is difficult to say what kind of friendship is now between the former Soviet republics, but there is no doubt that there are common interests.
Synonyms
It is also curious how to replace the noun we have chosen for analysis. For most words in Russian, you can find an analogue. The Brotherhood is no exception. So the list is:
- union;
- community;
- union;
- circle;
- partnership;
- community.
If not repeated, then the list of replacements is just that. In principle, there are not so few positions here. All words carry positive energy. Unless the community can evoke bad associations, if you remember how the Russian peasantry lived.
Loneliness and craving for togetherness
Technological progress has made people, on the one hand, more independent, and on the other, more lonely. Using the Internet, now you can do everything: order food, meet someone, buy what you need. In other words, the person becomes more autonomous. But therein lies the problem.
A person almost always yearns to be a part of some community, brotherhood, it's obvious. Therefore, there are so many circles of lovers of everything in the world, at least in the West. There are footballers, athletes, and there are those who love them. And if a person cannot play football or throw a discus, then at least he can cheer for famous athletes. And this is more important than it seems. After all, in this way a person has the opportunity to somehow define himself, to identify himself, if he has nothing to boast of on other fronts. But the achievement is not the only and not the main attraction of the community.
Feeling of the elbow
In the beginning, we said that in the manifestation of brotherhood much, if not all, converges on understanding. Why? If there is understanding, then there will be support. And we all miss the last one. Phraseologism, rendered in the sub title, just means the mutual support of people. In addition, when there are common interests, it is easier to find a mate.
Gone are the days when people got married by chance, obeying spontaneous impulses. Now, more and more often, the idea of a prosperous family life arises in the mind, and common interests are not the last place here. But let's be honest, while we wishful thinking, because the divorce rate in Russia is still high. The main reason is that people in everyday life are not suitable for each other. Translating this thesis into an even more understandable language, let's say: love has passed, and what to do next with a person is notquite clear, or rather, quite obscure. But that's another story.
Brotherhood is a positive thing. We examined its meaning, synonyms and meaning. We hope the reader is no longer afraid of this word.
