When two egos meet, the most useless conversation takes place, which will not bear any fruit, especially if one of them is still a "ruffy" representative of the younger generation. With difficulty and unwillingness, he perceives annoying and boring, as in his opinion, preaching of banal truths. So, the topic of today's publication is the following: "What are notations?"
Meaning of the word
I would like to note that this word is considered obsolete, although it can still be heard today in colloquial speech. So, let's look at what "notation" means. Notations are a reprimand, instruction, edification, moralizing, moralism, “life lessons”. You can even say that this is a kind of sermon, but, of course, with ironic overtones.
Usually the word "notation" is used in combination with the verb "read". Why read? This once again emphasizes the monotony, irritability of the speaker, he does not put his soul in to truly “get through” to the pupil. But this wordthere is also a second meaning. According to him, notation is a system of certain symbols adopted in a certain field of activity or knowledge.
Exactly the opposite
I would like to consider in more detail what notations are. So, have you ever thought about why moralizing does not bring the expected “fruits”? The answer is simple and understandable, if you consider it, as they say, with a "cold head".
What are notations? This is an effective way to achieve nothing from the pupil. This way of "teaching a lesson" lacks respect for the individual. After all, one who resorts to such a method rarely takes into account the mood and condition of a person. He simply does not want to choose the right moment for a more delicate conversation. This is the whole trouble with reading notations, because they wake up the opponent's egoism, turning him into an argumentative and ill-wisher.
Of course, your pupil understands your moralizing, demands or notations, but simply does not want to accept them in this form. So what are notations? This is a kind of violence against a person's personality. Because the one who “reads” them is deprived of goodness and disinterestedness, he is irritated, he is angry. And in the end, during moralizing, trust and mutual understanding disappear.
