Not only labor made a man out of a monkey, but also the beauty of the world around. Although the ability to see beauty was inherent not only to Homo sapiens, but also to the most ancient people. But truly aesthetic feelings can only be experienced by a highly developed person.
When you can see beauty in life phenomena and try to match your idea of beauty, you become better and develop as a person.
Aesthetic feelings and appearance
People (especially women) grow their hair, take care of their skin, and dye. Why? Not just to attract a member of the opposite sex, as it used to be. And in order to feel comfortable in your body.
Hierarchy of human needs
Psychologist Maslow's pyramid shows that a person's physiological needs are in the first place, and the spiritual ones are in the last place. But one who cannot realize himself in the spiritual realm turns into a monkey.
This is the main problem of mankind. After all, people are forced to survive, not to read books. Hence the widespread, one might say, animal attitude towards each other.friend, deceit, fraud, desire to cash in. The aesthetic feelings of a person cannot be formed on such a basis. Some "chosen ones" still manage to develop, earning their bread every day. They are able to experience real aesthetic feelings, develop in a creative or intellectual direction.
Aesthetic feelings (or aesthetic consciousness) is a complex of structures. The consciousness of an aesthete includes an attitude to religion, to work, taste, judgment, contemplation, perception, evaluation, ideal, values.
The taste of a person is his direct opinion about some object or phenomenon. If, for example, your boyfriend wears slit jeans that are “in trend” now, but you don’t like them, you like trousers without slits more, then this is a subjective aesthetic feeling.
What is an aesthetic judgment
The concepts of "aesthetic taste" and "judgment" can be confused. But in reality they are different. A judgment is, rather, an assessment of the morality of a particular phenomenon. That is, what you think about the case of a person, how beautiful or ugly it is.
Aesthetic contemplation - the ability to assess reality in terms of aesthetics, not just logic. The ability to make a positive or negative assessment based not only on the details, but also on the whole picture. For example, when you see a picture of an artist painting the life of cats (a humorous genre), you evaluate him in terms of his contribution to art, and not onlycriticizing the color of the cat's shoes in the picture.
Aesthetic perception - what is it?
- Perception is an opinion about a work of art and its contribution to the beauty of the world. When you look at a beautiful thing and experience positive emotions. For example, buying a set of cups and saucers because the set is 100 years old.
- Aesthetic evaluation is what a certain person thinks about the beauty of nature, any phenomenon or thing. Or maybe about the beauty of another person.
- Aesthetic ideal is a generalized concept that characterizes what a person understands by the word "ideal".
- Aesthetic values characterize a person very much, as they express his attitude to all life spectrums. The attitude of an individual to different spheres of life as a whole constitutes his personality.
Without aesthetic needs, a normal person cannot work if he is not a moral monster. He needs labor not only to buy food, but also to realize life values, to buy resources that will bring joy to other people (for example, buying toys for a child) or to invest in self-development (watching movies, buying books).
But the ability to feel beauty also does not mean that a person is perfect. For example, Hitler was an artist and also saw beauty. At the same time, he became famous as a tyrant.
What is responsible for the development of our aesthetic senses?
Development of aesthetic sense of human beauty and his intellectual developmentare directly linked. Without sufficient intelligence (or education), an individual will not be able to fully appreciate beauty. To, for example, evaluate a work of art, you need to know its value in the context of the era, to study art history.
How to develop a sense of beauty in yourself?
Information sources will help: books, good films, as well as communication with other people. Conduct developing trainings, appreciate in people not only material well-being, but also spiritual values. Develop the ability to see beauty in small things.
Aesthetic feelings are the need to develop
Let's figure out what investing in yourself is. These are actions that allow you to form moral and aesthetic feelings in yourself. This is he alth care and appearance, new knowledge. Without these three components it is impossible to achieve success. All three qualities must be developed in oneself. While you are young, you do not particularly think about morality, aesthetics. That is why psychologists advise developing the aesthetic sense of preschoolers.
But it is worth considering that if you do not take care of them properly, then at an older age there will be many problems. Human life will become very limited.
For example, the he alth of the body begins with psychological, mental he alth. All mental illnesses or clamps, one way or another, are reflected on the body, make themselves felt by ailments of various degrees of severity. Fear, constant depression, depression, hopelessness "transform" into cervical osteochondrosis,lack of emotions, love, colors of life, spoil a person's eyesight. The inferiority complex, one way or another, is reflected in the posture and spine.
The first thing to start taking care of your he alth is finding peace of mind, developing such a factor as aesthetic feelings (this is reading all kinds of literature, contemplating beautiful things).
Then you need to pay attention to body care and appearance. If a person does not like himself outwardly, then his self-esteem suffers, and success in life cannot be achieved. In a woman's life, her appearance and psychological comfort are directly related. Therefore, you need to take care of creating your own style, skin care.
Walks in the open air do not cost money and at the same time have a good effect on a person, they are indirectly responsible for educating aesthetic feelings in children. Masks made from henna, basma and fermented milk products will help maintain the beauty of your hair.
To fully care for the skin (cleanse, moisturize, tone), you need to stock up on facial peeling, moisturizer and tonic. Quality products are available from quite affordable companies.
Aesthetic feelings are knowledge
One wise man said that knowledge is a valuable cargo that does not get in the way. You never know what kind of information you will need today or tomorrow. Therefore, there is no superfluous knowledge.
How to invest knowledge in yourself?
- Read every day. Giving preference not to the tabloid press, butpsychological books or educational literature, one invests in oneself.
- Meet new people. You should not hang around in a cafe all day to make acquaintances. Even in social networks there are people who can give advice on this or that occasion, recommend good literature.
- Take risks. From time to time it is worth leaving the "comfort zone" and trying yourself in some new business. Thus man develops.
Love and aesthetic feelings
The human psyche is multifaceted. But only a person who is capable of experiencing aesthetic feelings can love. One and the same quality - the ability to love - can manifest itself in different ways in different people. How strong this feeling is developed in a person depends on his internal development, as well as on how vivid emotions you experience for a person.
The first step of falling in love is a habit
Emotions, one way or another, require an outlet, but how a lover will realize himself depends directly on his development. Such traits as hysteria, narcissism, selfishness indicate that a person has a strong instinct of fear and a little expressed sense of beauty. Or simply not satisfied with its basic needs. The inability to realize oneself pushes a person to tantrums, selfishness, self-defense.
An individual who is at the first stage of falling in love loves for the status that this or that person gives him. He loves for comfort, for the opportunity to defend himself. Or just for a beautiful thing. He is able to enjoy beautiful clothes, cars. But fall in lovea certain person is difficult for him. Surrounding people are evaluated solely by appearance or by material status. The moral qualities and personality of the interlocutor are of little interest to him.
The second step of falling in love is sympathy
This is love, also based on basic needs. The feeling of love for one's neighbor is still poorly developed and cannot be fully realized. The manifestation of sympathy is limited to coquetry, flirting. If the object of love does not reciprocate, it quickly passes, since attachment to him has not yet formed. It's like the aesthetic sense of children.
The second stage of love has no creative basis. If a person in love failed on a personal front, did not get what he wanted, then he can become angry with the opposite sex, become a misogynist or man-hater and devote his entire life to a cat or dog. This individual can easily pass by human grief, use someone, he also has a desire to take revenge.
The third stage of the development of love is physiology
A person in the third stage of falling in love is also attracted by physical characteristics (a pleasant voice, appearance), but he experiences feelings for a person more deeply and fully than in the second stage. The formation of aesthetic feelings is based on understanding the object of passion. He not only wants reciprocity with a partner, but also respects his environment, tries to decorate his life as much as possible. At this stage, a person is already learning to understand psychology, reads thematic literature, tries todelve into the situation. The individual wants not only to take, but also to give.
An attachment to the object of love is formed, which is hard to get rid of.
The fourth step in the development of falling in love is true love
A person who is at this stage of development can not only understand the mood of another, sympathize, but almost physically experiences the pain of his neighbor. Attachment and disinterested love for a person is formed, acceptance of all his features, including shortcomings. But do not confuse this feeling with painful addiction, which many lovers confuse with love.
