The best remedy for loneliness: we meet the New Year with our neighbors
May we be forgiven by the citizens of the new democraticRussia, but it was in Soviet times that there were a lot of nice and lovely traditions that today can be proudly called psychological relaxation in the winter. Why it is a question of winter, the majority of inhabitants of our country will answer without thinking. The days are short, the weather is so-so, the soul asks for a holiday, but it's not there.
All hope for the witchcraft spell of New Year's Eve andfollowing her a series of merry, relaxing soul and body days. Remember what a wonderful time it is: planning shopping and gifts for loved ones, friends and yourself, choosing a menu for the New Year's table, which should be more plentiful than usual, drawing up a program of active and positive rest during the children's holidays.
The ritual of preparation for the solemn meetingNew Year for the past fifty years has changed very little, that's only the rhythm of life and the preferences of people have become different. The outcome of people from multiple hives into separate nests, multiplied by the wonders of information and communication technologies, played a cruel joke with us.
Daily communication with dear and close peopleon a mobile phone, and even on the run, creates the illusion of a psychological presence in their lives. Obsessive publications of their personal problems and successes in social networks already seem superfluous. People get tired of each other, for half a year not looking each other in the eye and never holding hands.
Inertia of loneliness
The inevitable retribution for the break of live communicationcomes, as a rule, at the most unexpected moment. On holidays, when you want to share your joys and sorrows in a meaningless dialogue under a glass with an old friend, his expectation of the holiday has not yet come, and he does not come. A birthday without guests is a habitual situation, but the New Year alone is already a trend of the new millennium.
People have become two orders of magnitude more mobile,even richer in financial terms, but have lost the need to use their mobility and money for the benefit of others. You can only imagine what New Year's feast for the whole communal apartment would be rolled by an ordinary teacher in the late 60s of the last century, then he receives today's salary.
Alas, the communal apartments are a thing of the past, like the traditionscrowded fun parties for any occasion. And how they increased the communicability of our citizens, created a unique aura of common secrets, based on joint vague memories of the holiday. All participated: active youth and old people, plumbers and professors, but most importantly, these Russian gatherings were a paradise for children.
Where will your children celebrate the New Year 2014? This question we address to those forty-year-old parents who were still in the pioneer organization. We do not undertake to predict all the countries where the boom of travels will be thrown by their children, but that on New Year's Eve parents will not see most of them in their comfortable apartments, we guarantee.
Who to call for the New Year
As the ancient sages assured, if you can notmove vertically, dig in the sides. Staying alone in the New Year, and receiving a standard set of congratulations by e-mail from relatives and friends, do not get into a wig. For sure, close to you behind the walls of the apartment building, silently chewing their sandwiches with caviar are the same full of strength your peers, who were also not visited by friends and once again deprived of attention by native children.
We admit that the advice "conditionally lonely" to people inage to seek their New Year's happiness in the festive squares or in the night clubs of their native city, look somewhat ridiculous. A lonely boy who, on the eve of the new year, the only girl in the world has stopped loving, of course, can jerk off the bridge or to the party, but serious people should not do so.
Let's say you realized that communication with a baldinghusband for another New Year's soundtrack Kolya Baskova no longer brings the expected joy, the excess of caloric nutrition depresses, and still something you want. It's time to remember those "girlfriends" who live next to you, in your own city block.
About those with whom you have been driving children in wheelchairs beforepoints of distribution of coupon products, took their children to kindergarten and school. You can not check, they are also watching TV and do not know how to kill New Year's Eve. The best remedy for loneliness is activity. Take the phone in your hands, call all neighbors who you remember, and invite them to your meal. Must be the whole family.
Works perfectly, and return visitsguaranteed. Already two hours after the start of the movement, cheerful dances, exciting bobsleigh competitions on children's slides and other antics begin on the apartments, which then it is pleasant to remember all the court. Do not be afraid to give people joy throughout the year, and especially - in our favorite long Christmas holidays!
