Kandalov Alexander Biography

And you can spit it in the person who will take my place. This poem is small, but saturated with philosophical thought. I will not write what I saw in it. I would like to dwell on his other work in detail, which impressed me or even delighted me if you want. This is not a big essay, Brodsky’s performance before the American graduates of the year in Darmouth.

It is called "praise of boredom." I urge everyone to read this performance carefully to especially young people, students, for it carries a grandiose philosophical thought. In general, moving away from the thought, I want to say that philosophy and literature as a whole resort to one goal: moral - moral. She calls on a person to become better, she opens up a person's eye on how to live.

Joseph Aleksandrovich, having a grandiose life experience behind his back, feeling life, knew with what speech you needed to go to the university for a performance to young people. It seems to me that he did not lose his speech. What he said in it will be relevant until a person existed. The thought that he conveyed to the graduates of the year is eternal. Reading the essay, one thought comes to mind at first: Brodsky came with a pessimistic mood, that is, on such a wonderful day for graduates to open their eyes to their future.

In fact, the mood was not pessimistic. This is a misconception of pure water. Brodsky spoke about the future of not only everyone sitting in the audience, but also every person as a whole. And this future is boredom. And it sounds the most realistic way. Boredom is the worst thing that can happen to a person, having sufficient well -being. Brodsky understood this like no other.

That is why he came to talk about boredom, which will overwhelm with a huge wave with the head of each sitting in the audience and every person as a whole. As we already know boredom, this is what Brodsky said. In the essay, he wrote not only that boredom is present in the life of every person, but also how to fight with it, and to be more precisely, that it is not necessary to fight with it.

You need to plunge completely in it.

No matter how much a person opposes this, but he needs to look boredom in the eye, “get to the bottom” as the author wrote. In the essay, Joseph Alexandrovich writes that boredom is a engine of progress, then it follows: if you divide the number of years of the existence of people, into the number of things created by a person, then there will be centuries of boredom.

This suggests that boredom is present in the life of every person. Another question is that people are afraid to look into her eyes. Plunge into it. This is really scary, so people start going to cinemas, shopping, watching TV, etc. Many people do not agree with Brodsky and I have met such people. I entered the remark with them and answered them: "Joseph Alexandrovich having a huge life experience, a diverse, interesting life, who traveled almost the whole world knew what he was talking about." This is true.

Many of my interlocutors, living a less boring life, do not understand what boredom is. They are bored, but they do not think about it. Sitting at home, in bad weather a person is boring, and what does he do? He goes and turns on the TV, enters the Internet and tries to escape from this boredom and from himself in particular. Brodsky, on the contrary, repeat once again, says that there is no need to run away from her.

Having reconciled with boredom, plunging into it, a person stops time, stops following him, that is, he merges over time, becomes part of it, and as we know: time is infinity, therefore, a person at that moment becomes infinite.
