§4. SIMPLETON

SIMPLICITY OF THE SOUL

There are people who are called “simple”, “simple-minded”. They say: “a simple man”, “a simple worker”, “a simple indifferent labourer”. In Soviet times, often used the speech revolution: “the broad masses of a simple working people”.

Simple people differ in physical strength and endurance, but are not famous for their great minds. They are told about them: “All brown and no brains”.

Three feelings are connected with a role of the Simpleton: fidelity (friendship, devotion), offense (rejection, abruption, alienation) and bewilderment (confusion).

BEWILDERMENT

The feeling of bewilderment, confusion is connected with a role of the simpleton. This feeling is also called a feeling of dumbfoundedness, discouragement, puzzlement.

Confusion is also called the feeling of surprise. This feeling arises when a person is taken aback, dumbfounded by surprise. This situation causes stupor (fading). This condition is called silly, “stupid” position. In this position, a person feels “a complete idiot”. He does not know what to say and do. The person stupidly looks with opened mouth, “stares”, “look like a cow looking at a new gate”, without understanding anything, claps eyelashes. In case of the team bewilderment, there is “a mute scene”.

When they want to express their confusion and bewilderment with gestures and mimicry, they shrug their shoulders, make a helpless gesture in dismay, scratch their head, raise their eyebrows. Feelings of confusion are often used by artists when they portray fools.

Due to the feeling of confusion and bewilderment, there is generated such feature of character as naivetй. People who are characterized with the simplicity of the soul, i.e., people whose character is dominated with the role of the Simpleton, are called ordinary people.

Many ordinary people with age acquire such an expression of the face, as if they are trying hard to understand what is being talked about, what is the meaning of what is going on.

They say that “simplicity is worse than theft” because of sincere simplicity and thoughtlessness the people can cause more damage, than the thief.

When they say about a person that he is “simple and ordinary”, this is a “soft” expression. They say so if they do not want to offend. Alternatively, sometimes they say different things: “stupid as a log” or “stupid as a cork”. They say: “primitive unicellular creature”. They also say: “fool”, “booby”, “cretin”, “dork”, “dumby”, “lop-ear”, “gormless”, “woodenhead”, “bonehead”.

The Simpleton’s role can still be called the Fool’s role. When an old woman from Pushkin’s “Fairy Tale about a Fisherman and a Fish” said to the old man: “You are a fool, ninny!” – she pointed to the dominant of his character.

When ordinary people are called “oaken” or “wooden”, then, on the one hand, there is meant their lack of understanding and thoughtlessness, and on the other hand – their physical strength and endurance.

In Soviet times, evil tongues ascribed to the forestry academy the motto: “We admit oaken – we release linden (pseudo)”. In this motto, the word “oaken” means physically vigorous, strong, enduring, but not very smart people.

A Simpleton – he “is uniquely cut out, but tightly sewn”. The clothes sit on him ridiculously, when walking he stamps. He tells simple and even primitive jokes. He does not understand subtle humour, hints, he is not brainy, does not catch on thought, he can not read between the lines. A Simpleton is slow-witted.

It is necessary to explain them in the most simple and comprehensive way, without going into detail and specialties. It is necessary to make notes, explanations for them. You should “chew” the information for them, say over and over again. When they say about a book that it is written “accessible”, “intelligible”, “understandable to the broad masses of the people” – this means that the book is written for ordinary people. There are a series of books “For Dummies” (for fools).

Such people need to repeat the same thing many times in different versions. The saying “repetition is the mother of learning” is a saying for them. Theoretical studies for them surely have to be followed by a practical training. “Bare” theory that is what they do not perceive.

A Simpleton is easier to do something himself than to explain how this is done. They say about such people that they have “clever hands”, that they “think by hands”.

All difficult for them is unclear. If something will not be enough explained, “chewed”, said over and over again, they surely will not understand or will understand wrong. It is true to say about them:

 
For fool, the law is not written.
If it is written than it is not read.
If it is read than it is not understood.
If it is understood that it is taken wrong.
 

It is very difficult to shove, to poke into their dull heads at least some, even very simple thoughts. Simply, without going into details, say: “Need to work!” And it is true, to work – this is only they can do very well.

They are hard-working. Therefore, it is possible to call the Simpleton’s role can call the Workaholic’s role or Simpleton-Workaholic” role.

Simple people do not understand subtle melodies. But they feel a simple rhythm very well. Therefore, they compose a simple rhythmic music for them on the principle of “two claps – thee stamps with the foot”. Such music is called to “pop” or popular, i.e. clear broad masses of the simple people.

Ordinary people often get into silly, foolish situations. They must be constantly patronized and monitored, in order to avoid any accident happened something with them. Swindlers curl around them – strive to confuse, deceive, outwit, cheat the ordinary person. The Simpleton – this is a “chump” in a criminal jargon.

Ordinary people have not a big lexical resource. It is difficult for them to formulate their thoughts, therefore they usually talk with obscenities. Do not swear, but they talk. The obscene words and expressions concepts do not contain notions – only emotions. Foul language is a language designed to express emotions. Swearing – it is not an abusive language. In the same obscene expressions, you can put different feelings: anger, bewilderment, admiration, mockery, envy, annoyance, superiority, joy, anxiety, anger, loathing, boredom, inspiration, etc.

Simple people need a constant labour rhythm of life. When having interrupted the labour rhythm of life, ordinary people do not live long. So happens to many elderly workers who have interrupted a labour rhythm of life after retirement. One year, second – and the person is gone. He died. Though he could still live and live, work and work.

LOYALITY

Another feeling related with the Simpleton’s role is the feeling of friendship, fidelity. It is also called the feeling of camaraderie, the feeling of a team spirit, the feeling of elbow, the feeling of unity, the of solidarity, the feeling of “we”.

Simple people are collectivists. They can be good, loyal friends. Therefore the Simpleton’s role can also call Friend’s role.

The strength of any team – in its cohesion, mutual assistance and mutual support. These qualities are given to the team with the feeling of friendship, which connects the members of the team. The team, united with the feeling of friendship, can act as a whole: “We are all as one!”. If there are millions of people in such a team, then it becomes “a million-fingered hand, compressed into a single thundering fist!”.

The feeling of “we” generates known the certain rules of friendly relations: “die yourself, and help a comrade!”, “One for all and all for one!”, etc. Each member of the team, united with the feeling of fidelity, puts the interests of the team above personal interests. The motto of collectivism is “equality and brotherhood”.

The spirit of comradeship and collectivism, the relationship of mutual assistance and mutual support lie in the basis of all communist movements and ideologies. The word “communism” comes from the word “commune”, which means the community. Communism this is an ideology of communality, of collectivism. Therefore, communism has always found and will always find a response and understanding between the broad masses of the simple working people. In previous eras, different countries have also made a lot of attempts to create a society of universal equality. It was convincingly shown by I.R. Shafarevich in his work “Socialism as a phenomenon of the world history”.

Collectivism generates levelling. Collectivists strive to be “like all”. To make all identical: identical clothes (uniform), identical hairstyles, identical prosperity, an identical way of life. It is possible to recall that all had similar clothes in the communistic countries: USSR of Stalin’s times, China of Mao Zedong’s era. Identical jackets, identical caps and peaked caps. The school uniform, the same for all pupils, specially designed to emphasize the equality, identity of the pupils at all schools. The violation of form was seen as the desire to stand out, the desire to break equality. The same meaning has the corporate uniform, garment.

The feeling of a unity generates a desire to act as others do. “All have run – and I have run!” – says one of the characters of the movie “Gentlemen of Fortune”. Therefore, the feeling of collectivism sometimes is called “gregarious feeling”, because it gathers animals into herds, birds – in packs, and people – in groups.

Development of feeling of collectivism is the sense of all team rituals. For example, a ritual team dance is arranged by many tribes just before the team hunt, during which absolute interaction and mutual understanding will be required, but there will be no time for discussion. Corporate celebrations pursue the aim of development of collectivism in corporation too.

Marching training – is an army team ritual. It is not by chance that the feeling of “we” is also called “feeling of order”. The purpose of marching in the army is to develop the feeling of unity among the soldiers.

The friendship of soldiers is an obligatory condition of the military performance. It is not by chance that the army in former times was called a squad. Without the feeling of friendship, unity, mutual assistance, comradeship and mutual assistance, the subdivision can not act in a combat as a whole and is doomed to destruction in advance.

Friendly relations in the team, relations of equality, are called fraternal relations. “Brothers” and “sisters” call each other members of spiritual orders, spiritual brotherhoods, emphasizing the equal, fraternal character of relations between themselves. They were also wearing simple identical clothes.

Members of criminal groups also call each other “mobsters”, “brothers” – they emphasize with it the relations of fidelity and mutual assistance between themselves too.

The equality of the members of the team is emphasized when they speak about the circle. There are no corners in the circle, no sides. Here are the expressions: “circle of equals”, “circle of friends”, “Cossack circle”, “round table”. “Knights of the round table” are knights who are equal between themselves. There is no hierarchy between friends. A hero in the circle of his friends is only the first between equals and nothing more.

Many peoples of the world have a fairy tale about how the father, using the example of a broom, explained to the brothers the necessity to stay together, help each other, remain faithful and friendly, be “one for all and all for one!”. Each separate twig or straw in a broom is easy to break, but it is impossible to break a broom entirely. Unity is a power.

Simple people are unpretentious. They easily cope with hardships and adversities in the team. It is reasonably said: “The more the merrier!” – it is better in the close team for them, than in offense because the offense is one more feeling connected with Simpleton-Workaholic’s role.

THE OFFENSE

Another feeling connected with Simpleton’s role is a feeling of resentment, rejection, alienation.

It is known: if to call the person the fool, then he will take offense. This is because of e the feeling of the offense is associated with Fool’s role (another name of Simpleton’s role). The role of the offended is the Fool’s role. That is why they say: “Are you offended? – You are fool!”

The offense is called a stupid feeling, i.e., a feeling connected with Fool’s role (another name of Simpleton’s role). As, it is known, “hurt people are seldom at ease”.

The offense is called frustration of soul. They say about the offended that he is in frustrated feelings.

The offence is called a feeling of rejection. When a person has a feeling of the offence, he turns his back, does not take the receiver, slams the door, sends to hell (or even further away), announces a boycott, crosses the offender from his life and stops all relations with him. “Don’t approach me, I am offended…” – is sung in one popular song.

The feeling of offence often goes near the feeling of bewilderment – they are connected with one and the same Simleton’s role. Therefore when everything is confused and is unclear, there is a desire to throw everything, to send everything far away.

Ordinary people are touchy – the feeling of offence is close to them, because it is connected with the dominant role in their character. You need to be simpler with ordinary people. If they do not understand a joke, they can take it as an offense.

To the feeling of offence, rejection is devoted the short story of S. Lema “Inquiry” (Series of stories about the pilot Pirks). In this short story, we are talking about how, in the extreme circumstances that arose during a space flight, the pilot Pirks experienced the feeling of rejection towards those who deliberately created this situation, and therefore he was inactive under the influence of the feeling of rejection, i.e., was striking, boycotting the situation.

Many of those who served in the army “compulsory service”, remember the feeling of rejection of the whole prevailing situation there, the desire to step aside, to keep from everything as far as possible. During the years of service, many of them are losing and habit of the initiative, the brains are getting so stupid that it is very difficult for people to force themselves to think again and to act independently. This is an example of how the imposed role in an army turns into a dominant of the character.

INSIDERS AND OUTSIDERS

Since the Simpleton’s role is connected with the feeling of friendship (acceptance), resentment (rejection) and bewilderment (misunderstanding), then for ordinary people everything is divided into a pleasant, unpleasant and incomprehensible. Including all the surrounding, divided into friends (their, ours), enemies (strangers, not ours) and incomprehensible people. There will not be conversation and communication with (“not ours”) outsiders. In order to obtain something from ordinary people, first, you need to “become a friend”, become “theirs” for them, to enter into their circle.

In spite of all his external inconspicuousness, the simpleton’s role has a great meaning. Thanks to Simpleton’s role, there are existing peoples, there is an ethno sphere of humanity. The feeling of unity connected with the Simpleton’s role creates peoples and other communities of people, and the feeling of rejection does not allow humanity to merge into one people. The feeling of rejection divides humanity into peoples, generates xenophobia – rejection of strangers, aliens, foreigners.

Without the feeling of “we”, uniting people there would be no collectives, communities, the peoples. Humanity would be divided (“quantized”) only on separate people. And without a feeling of rejection towards strangers, without xenophobia, humanity would merge into a single community, and then there would be no division of mankind into peoples, e. i., there would be no ethno sphere.

It is impossible to remove “bad” or “unnecessary” feelings from the soul of the person, it is impossible to remove the “soul pole” connected with Simpleton’s role, therefore the humanity will never lose the division into the peoples. Humanity will never lose its ethnic diversity; will not lose its ethnic structure.

Due to Simpleton’s role, there are not only the division of people into national communities. All communities: class, religious, and national exist because of the division into “ours” and not “ours”.

The aspiration to a unity, cohesion, conciliarity is shown in the form of class, religious, ethnic solidarity. All parties and the movements are seeking to unite people on class, ethnic or religious sign use aspiration to solidarity, cohesion, unity. They are all striving to bring together the strength of the broad masses, to make them “a million-fingered hand, compressed into a single thundering fist”.

The aspiration to unite all the believers belonging to the certain religion is reflected in the names of the religious organizations (Muslim Brotherhood, “The orthodox union of youth”). The aspiration to unite on the national basis is reflected in the names of the patriotic and nationalist organizations (“The Russian national unity”, “The union of the Russian people”, etc.). There are organizations that combine class solidarity with religious or national solidarity. For example: “National Socialist Workers” Party of Germany”, “The general Jewish working union” (BUND), “The Christian and socialist union”.

Without “we”, uniting feeling of people, there would be no parties and associations. And without the feeling of rejection towards strangers, there would be no parties and religious diversity. All would be members of the one party. All would be adherents of one religion.

§5. VILLAIN

The degree of animals” aggressiveness of can be determined from their tails. When animals are angry – they hint with a tail, when ready for attack – straight a tail, and when wish to leave the place of fight – tuck the tail. To tuck the tail under the belly means to descend from the Villain’s role, to give up without a fight. People also sometimes say: “Do not lift your tail on me!”.

Three feelings are connected with the Villain’s role: rage (anger, hatred), hardness (severity, confidence) and concentration (gravity).

HATRED

Anger, rage, hatred generates the desire to tear, smear, kill, destroy. Those who have this feeling of rage and hatred are called the Villains, and the one who is broken off is smeared and killed, is called the Victim.

The feeling of anger is described in the “Song of the Stormy Petrel”:

The thunder roars. In the foam of anger, the waves moan, arguing with the wind. The wind covers the waves with a strong embrace and throws them in a wild rage on the rocks, breaking emerald bulks in dust and splashes.

When the all-burning feeling of hatred settles in the soul of a person, he becomes angry at the whole world, at all around. And if the rage jumps out of him, then at such moments he is ready to kill everyone who will be caught. Sometimes you have to hear: “Such rage takes me that I am ready to shoot everyone…” So there are murderers who rush into school, cafe, restaurant and shoot everyone until the cartridges finish out.

The anger, rage, hatred are also called the feeling of aggression. It is exactly hatred that generates fights and wars, when, “some wicked eat the fury of other wicked ones”.

The feeling of rage is considered sincere feeling, i.e. the feeling comes from heart, therefore, the person who has made something in rage, they say he did it “in a fit of temper”. Therefore, a miffed person is called angry, got into a temper.

The rage in its strongest manifestation is called fierce hatred, rampage. Under the influence of fierce hatred, a people is ready to torture, mistreat his victims. They say: “Behave heinously”.

Rage, hatred is considered a bad feeling, called “negative” emotion. However, the world of feelings is not reduced to two poles (positive and negative), but to seven poles of the soul – to 7 roles. It is a magnet that has 2 poles, and the soul has 7 poles (7 chakras, 7 mental centres).

In fact, there are no bad or good feelings. There are only appropriate and inappropriate feelings; there are fitting and unsuitable feelings. Sometimes the rage is necessary, for example, during the war. As it is sung in a famous song,

 
May the fury is noble
Boiling hot, like a wave!
There is a people’s war,
Holy war!
 

The rage and hatred frighten, push people away. They run away from evil. The rage can force and coerce, but you can not carry away somebody using it. If people follow Hero on their own will, the grabber bear-leads, than a Villain chases victims in front of himself.

The rulers with a cruel, spiteful character are called despots, tyrants. There is an atmosphere of fear around them. Villain tyrants are always lonely, because with their hatred they “burn out” everything around them and, at the end, remain alone. Because tyranny, despotisms and satrapy is predestined to crash sooner or later.

Angry despots are not only men, but also women. An example of this is Saltychikha, a landowner who lived in the 18th century and killed more than a hundred serf peasants subject to her.

Hatred is called also a feeling of revenge, and revenge, as is well-known – “this dish which is served cold”. Here it is necessary to pay attention that in the pure form of hatred – cold feeling. Hatred becomes hot, ardent when the passion is added to it – this is hatred of the person who has a lot of energy, a lot of fire. The ardent rage is a mixture of the heroic and rascally elements. Here it is important not to confuse feeling with a character dominant.

True hatred is “Finnish” hatred: cold, long, ruthless. The Caucasian irascibility comes from a mixture of the heroic element with the spiteful one. Quick-tempered people – people whose character has prevailing roles of the Hero and Villain. Villain’s hatred does not radiate heat, but gradually boils hot.

The heroic beginning gives to all feelings the fieriness. If the Hero has all fiery feelings painted with an ardour of a soul, then the Villain has all feelings with an impurity of rage and hatred. Villains are irascible. The hero lights with passion and inspiration, and the Villain burns out with anger, rage and hatred.

Rage, anger, hatred is an integral part of the soul as well as other feelings. No one feeling (and including rage) can be isolated from a soul, can be removed from a soul, can be “amputated”. Many thinkers in hope to save the world from wars and crimes suggested to refuse from rage and hatred. This thought is brought to logical absurdity in the Buddhism where it is forbidden to hate and kill any creature. If the ordinary person enraged at night by the mosquito hooting in an ear switches on light and, grabbed the Scripture which was reading so peacefully for the night, begins to thrash with rage the book on walls and furniture in a pursuit of a mosquito, then the Buddhist has to pray and, meditating, to plunge into blissful nirvana if he, of course, is able to meditate.
