DEALING WITH YOURSELF -

it is depriving you of the right to Life, to a Profession, to a Person. “What can you do? You can't do anything! Just think, wrote or painted some rubbish. Or - developed. Everything you do means nothing. And you yourself don't mean anything either. " This technique was successfully used by the Nazis in the concentration camp. And people died, having lost the Will and Power of Resistance - they became "nothing". No name, no patronymic, no profession, only a number on his hand.

Psychologist Viktor Frankl ended up in a concentration camp. And he was already dying of hunger, overwork and beatings. And every day I saw smoke over the crematorium, where those who could no longer work were burned. And the fascist asked mockingly: who, they say, you, number such and such, were before? Frankl replied: a doctor. A psychologist. And the fascist mockingly said: “You were a pathetic doctor! And he lured money out of people. " And the exhausted psychologist experienced a flash of rage and began to argue with the fascist. Against the background of gas chambers, gallows and corpses. He was beaten. He miraculously survived. And I realized that those who were able to devalue, and whose Life could be deprived of meaning, are dying. There is no sense - there is no Life. This is the law. Man lives for something and for something; and his whole life is manifested in activity. It is worth devaluing the achievements and work of a person - and the meaning of life is lost. Now it is a candidate for a gas chamber. And Frankl began to secretly work as a psychologist in a concentration camp. Help other prisoners. He survived and wrote his wonderful book about the meaning of life, about the fact that one must live for something and remain a person. Therefore, resist those who want to devalue your work. By words or deeds. Devaluation can also manifest itself as unwillingness to pay for your work. Free to use. Or a humiliatingly low pay. Although in this case, the insults may not be. They will treat you kindly, but give nothing for your work. Because your work is really worthless. And you are just a "doctor". Or "engineer", or "writer" or "lawyer". No matter. Remember - this is fascist technology. Once successfully applied in practice. And it is necessary to resist depreciation, like the heroic Viktor Frankl.

Fight back the fascist and continue to work. You can do what you can and. Work. Reach. Remember that you have a name, and at work you also have a middle name. And don't work for free - you're not in a concentration camp. And after work, of your own free will, you can do good and engage in charity work - this is also our personality.

And it helps to survive and live ...
