Nowadays, very little attention is paid to universal human values; many people have no reference points in life, no norms and rules of behavior, except to distinguish between actions and deeds that are bad and good, evil and good. The world around us has become much more brutal, and today more importance is attached to a person's material condition than to his inner world and essence. The eternal human values are gradually losing their importance, and the thickness of the purse and wealth are coming to the fore. Although it is believed that money is not the mainstay of happiness, I believe that it is still one of its main pillars. Be that as it may, the instances in which a person who has no means of subsistence feels happy are very, very vital. Unfortunately, man is a weak creature, he always lacks something, in his heart he always regrets something. The need for material goods is always high, and the lack of means stimulates us to acquire them. In my opinion, one of the human values is precisely the specific desire to satisfy one's desires. That is, in my view, spiritual and material wealth are in constant interaction and inherently constantly intertwined. If we talk about happiness, how can it be understood? Hardly anyone can give an exact wording to this word, because for each person happiness is something different, something that is closest to what satisfies their basic needs to the greatest extent. And to make a person feel that there are other values and that along with well-being there are ideals such as beauty, truth, decency, etc., one needs exceptionally loud, persistent, special appeals that will be heard every day. For the mental wretchedness of our contemporaries prevents respect for universal values from arising, kills positive instincts, and makes them unfavorable to the problems of those around them. It seems that the modern world is flying into some abyss - nature is being destroyed and ecology is deteriorating. Pay attention to how many people today suffer from depression and stress. Look how many unhappy, doomed, empty eyes there are. The material well-being of people is growing, but it doesn't make them happy. Technology is improving, science is developing, but for some reason people's lives turn into a boring, gray, uninteresting bustle. Why does this happen? The modern world needs new large-scale ideas. After all, only this will change the world for the better, only this will give humanity a chance to survive. And without universal human values, this renaissance is simply not possible. Undoubtedly, the role of material values is important enough, but it is much further than spiritual and moral values. To live without feeling anything, to live without noticing the beauty of the world around us, not respecting the knowledge we inherited from our ancestors, to live without appreciating what we have - this is not a full life, but only a pathetic imitation of it. Money solves many things in our world, but it will never do or solve the main thing: it cannot buy health or love, it will not awaken feelings. And as long as there is a yearning for universal values, a thirst for each of us to arrange our lives according to our own thoughtful convictions and notions, so long will the world live. To live as it is the only right and true thing to do.π€π₯°π€©πΈπ°ππ
