What is the harmony of life

Do we understand what harmony is? Have we lost this concept in the frantic pace of modern life? And what to do if you still lost?

Harmony lives in everything - art, pure faith, nature. It lives in us from the very beginning. Harmony is in truth, harmony is truth itself.

The words of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, known to us since childhood, come to mind: “Everything in a person should be beautiful: face, clothes, soul, and thoughts…”. And their true meaning is not as simple as it seems, and it is not so complicated for a wise person who knows how to live in peace with himself and in harmony with the creatures around him.

What is the harmony of life, ancient thinkers already knew. How many meanings and shades this word has! A truly harmonious person is one who is able not only to look, but also to see and feel the bottomless sky and stars, to enjoy the quiet charm of sunrises and sunsets, to observe the life of only a blossoming flower and a moth that has landed on it. What happiness it turns out to be - to dissolve in all this splendor, to become a part of it!

But for some reason we have forgotten how to be surprised at such things as life and death, day and night, spring and autumn. Still, after all, science has long given explanations to everyonethese phenomena. But their deep meaning is revealed only to those who really want it and are ready to accept it.

We take life for granted, often do not think in the hustle and bustle of everyday problems that we should slow down and just listen to the quiet rustle of leaves and the chirping of grasshoppers in the grass. People, why are you so blind and deaf?!

And yet not everyone is so hopeless. Children know exactly what harmony is. The word itself may not be familiar to them, but its meaning is absolutely clear. They live in harmony with themselves and their feelings, they know how to enjoy seemingly simple things. How much delight (quiet or loud) they are given by a simple bug, hurrying about its bug business. Where, tell me, does all this disappear with age, and why does it so rarely stay with us for life? After all, then this life would definitely be the happiest!

What is harmony? This is a whole world of bright colors, this is a quiet summer night, this is a child's smile, this is life itself, after all. The word "harmony" includes everything that gives peace of mind - Shmelev's volume in the shade of an old tree, the sound of rain walking on the roofs, the subtle aromas of May and the bright sadness of September … Grandmother's hand in grandfather's hand is also harmony. The opportunity to sit all evening on the rickety roof of the barn, swim and enjoy the rays of the hot sun, watch how amusingly a week-old puppy rolls from side to side … Harmony spreads throughout the body from one touch to a small hungry kitten, from the mere thought that you saved himno one needs a life, fed and warmed this helpless ball of wool. True pleasure gives us life for our kindness, because what faith and love this lump will reward us with later!

You don't need to hide your face from the rain, otherwise you will never know what harmony with nature is. Without knowing the warmth of your beloved hands, you will not know the harmony of love. Without helping those who need it, you will not feel harmony with yourself. Without loving those who gave you life, you will not become a person and you will not understand what it means to become a real parent. And this is perhaps the most terrible punishment of the Lord.

And let these arguments resemble the romantic delirium of a teenage schoolboy from the outback. Let be. Harmony lies in not thinking about such trifles. Only we can give ourselves freedom of spirit. Give warmth and kindness to the world around you, and it will repay you with the same coin!
