Translated fragment
As shown in the metaphor, the Beggars are activists "who eat the bread of idleness" Their minds are focused on obtaining the "product", ie different material comfort that the social system product. Their main instrument is the mimicry. They try to look like a person of social value and they are busy with the proof of their necessity for the people around. They amplify the importance of their role in any transaction. Consequently, they deal with standards of legal persons, guilt, fear, customs and social norms. It is clear that the responsibility is not at issue here. We can say that the poor like a cat who could not miss the opportunity to snatch a sausage from the table. Being caught in the act, he began to evacuate its objections to those who had taken while working for their sympathy and ... they gave a little more sausage. In fact, it's hell beggars behavior and actions in society: "I wanted the sausage so I really had no choice in the matter!
Thus, it seems relatively funny, kind and harmless. But in reality this is not so gay, so, let us see the level of internally without metaphors.
Presumably the level of Beggars survives by catching people on their observation blind of morality and other unwritten norms through controlling their trust, understanding and empathy. The sufferers humanistic vision of Beggars often. It is impossible to live with the beggar, communicate with him, but it is also impossible to leave him failed because he is a "good guy" sort of in the depths of her heart. People think he understands and he is grateful. Instead, it is simply "feeding" his supporters. If the latter decides to get rid of the beggar, all friends, parents and scholars of this man will side with the Beggar's.
It is impossible to come to terms with the begging. Common sense, social norms, the logical calculations - none of these basic instruments of the solution of issues between the right people do not work here. Beggar break any commitment not only for his own benefit, but he had simply "changed his mind." Thus, the force of blame are not effective here. As deplorable, requests and prayers. The beggar not the only things they want and behave as he wants. At the same time social laws and the people around him is that he is right. He has a phenomenal ability to stand out clearly.
The leading edge is that the common man has an agenda of social models of mutual relations, which is integrated so deep that it became a part of his character. In his social life, he obeyed the rules which are universal for the whole society: "You have to negotiate with people," Do not be rude "people" do not betray, "" and not lie "," Family is very important, "the parents are the most intimate" and others. The common man is taking the world through the filter of these limits and it does not see what is happening in reality. Moreover, even if he sees it, he refuses to believe it. For example, the husband beats his wife and return the stomach, "because he likes". And she accepts the situation and apologizing. Nonsense! Beggars have no such limitations in thought and behavior. They know perfectly these limitations and to manipulate people around them, playing with these human values. In other words, their actions do not agree with their words. They clearly have a great pull on any normal man.
Even if the common man on this particular beggar, he does not believe: "It.
