Some believe that life is over and no one needs him. Personal relaxation occurs. Sometimes an amorphous position is equal to training for physical death (death). But this doesn't happen to everyone.

Stages of development of personality degradation

Example:
Degradation is caused by complete depression, constant worries. The subject loses ideals, forgets about goals in life. Morals and norms are lost. He is no longer able to overcome obstacles, difficulties. There is hostility, envy, indifference. He loses the ability to enterprisingly think and work, to listen carefully to others. The subject copies other people's actions and ideas. And finally, there is a loss of feelings of real life. Disputes to achieve their own goals, even the smallest is the main argument.

It is important to timely detect the prerequisites for the degradation of the individual, to find the causes of their occurrence. It may not be too late to fix everything and live a full healthy life.

One of the most severe types of degradation is insanity, which is dementia. With it, contact with the outside world is lost. The person expresses complete indifference to other people and maintains a very carefree life.

Signs of personality degradation can be observed in many people. Moreover, such problems are characteristic not only of chronic losers, but also of completely conscious individuals. This is the danger of the withering process. This state of affairs once again confirms the vulnerability of the individual.

Causes of human degradation

Often a personality degrades due to the fact that apathy takes possession of it. In situations where a person needs to complete some important task or make a responsible decision, many prefer to do nothing. A person without will, who acts only in accordance with his desires and unwillingnesses, has every chance of degrading morally and intellectually.

Personal degradation is a process that can often be observed in adults. At retirement, a person in a sense dies, as younger colleagues see him off for a "well-deserved rest." In fact, in such a situation, the person relaxes, because now there is no need to be responsible for anything or make efforts to achieve any goal. As a result, destructive passivity completely takes over a person. Such an amorphous state can be compared with the preparation for physical death. Surprisingly, among the elderly there are quite a lot of those whom degradation has bypassed.

The problem of personality degradation is more characteristic of lonely people or those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. In the latter case, a person falls into depression, which contributes to rapid personal fading. Interestingly, a huge proportion of people, wanting to take revenge on life for their misfortune, for the most part kill themselves. Thus, a person practices a kind of slow suicide.

Another cause of degradation can be a sense of guilt. People who feel unwanted are often characterized by personal collapse. If a person has lost faith in himself due to several successive failures, then there is a high probability of degradation.

It is impossible to list all the reasons for the withering of the personality, among which, undoubtedly, there are such as lack of will, drug addiction in all its manifestations, cruelty, procrastination and banal laziness. However, the main reason is still the lack of spirituality, intelligence, compassion and love. It is these elements that make a person a person.

Undoubtedly, there are many examples when a person without a soul can demonstrate an extraordinary mind and achieve considerable success without degrading. However, in order to become such a person, one must initially be a person and be formed in certain conditions.

The famous psychologist Abraham Maslow believed that the degradation of a person has the following stages of progression:

• The formation of the psychology of the "pawn". A person has a feeling that he is completely dependent on some other forces. This phenomenon is called the phenomenon of "learned helplessness".
• The emergence of a shortage of basic goods. Primary needs for food and survival become a priority.
• Formation of a "clean" environment. The whole society is divided into bad and good people, “us” and “them”. Often a person has a feeling of shame and guilt for himself.
• The emergence of the cult of "self-criticism". A person is able to recognize the commission of even those acts to which he has nothing to do.
• Protection of "sacred foundations". The individual categorically does not want to think about the main prerequisites of ideology. Such people do not doubt their "sacred foundations" and are not able to look at them with a skeptical eye.

How to avoid degradation

Spiritual degradation of personality may well overtake anyone who is not engaged in self-development. Thus, any person has every chance to come to a complete comprehensive collapse. You need to invest time and effort to keep yourself at a consistently high level. Build, improve and do - that's what you need to concentrate on those who do not want to degrade. Otherwise, spiritual death will overtake a person much earlier than physical.

In order to avoid degradation, you should be able to deal with your passivity. This skill allows you to increase the internal energy of a person and strengthen willpower.

There is physical and social death. The second concept implies that a person, being healthy, does not represent any value for society. Moreover, such a person can also harm society, because he is a burden and far from the best example. In order to avoid social death, it is necessary to make efforts to maintain an active physical state and be interested in everything that is happening in the world. A person should strive to be useful to the people among whom he lives. To maintain a high life potential, you need to live not only for yourself, not surrendering to the hands of inner passivity. It should be understood that the main food for the mind is both the information that we consume when reading or through auditory perception, and what we talk about and what we are interested in.

Those who have a fairly active life position and live in mission mode will never face the problem of degradation. Usually such people do what they love and have many interests.

It must be understood that the environment has an incredible impact on the development or degradation of the individual. If a person mainly contacts with descending people, then this will not affect him beneficially.

There is a parable about a cucumber, which tried with all its might to keep its freshness. Once in a jar of pickles, he was very unpleasant at first, because the brine did not help preserve freshness. In addition, the appearance of a fresh cucumber was a reproach to its salty counterparts. However, after a while, the pickle ceased to be disgusting to the cucumber, and its neighbors no longer seemed so salty. Cucumber thought that being like everyone else is very convenient. However, in order not to turn into a salty snack, you need to follow the right direction in life.

Now you know what human degradation is. Having a general understanding of this problem, you can easily avoid the fate that is prescribed for a huge number of people.

Sayings of great and successful people about degradation

« Pride is the first stage of degradation. Pride leads to unconscious arrogance, or neglect of others, then to insult at the level of the mind, in thoughts. Then, if we do not stop our negativity towards others at the level of the mind, we will already insult out loud with words. And insulting with words, we will degrade. We will acquire evil qualities. We will be forced by the Universal Forces to receive just those qualities for which we criticize others. We will get hit on the head, it can lead us to degradation!»Timchenko S.

“Some are engaged in self-improvement, others in self-degradation.”

"Degradation often sees itself as a kind of culture." Darius

“If we draw conclusions from our own mistakes and failures, they become rungs on the ladder of our development. It would seem that a successful person who avoids activity, does not get involved in anything, acts very carefully, and everything seems to be fine with him, in fact, he simply does not develop. Therefore, we should not be afraid of activity. We should be afraid of this reluctance to draw conclusions. »Ruzov V.

"Peace is a form of degradation, and degradation is the destruction of personality."

“…and so slowly I began to descend to the level of fellow citizens. The head was more difficult. But alcohol helped. A daily, three-time intake of alcohol - and you clear your head of unnecessary knowledge and thoughts. For a year, I hardly forgot what I learned after the academy. I forgot college in a month, gymnasium in a week. I forgot my philosophy either in a day, or in three ... I don’t remember anymore. History per day. This one, like her ... .. well, in general, I forgot her, without straining, for three hours. from the movie "The House That Swift Built"

“Modern man who is he? This is an egoistic being in which lust, anger, anger, envy, etc. live. And the justification for all this sounds like this in the modern world - no, no, the person is good, and the environment is bad. Those. modern psychological and psychic theories and sciences are based precisely on this judgment. They say that man is a product of the environment. It cannot be said that there is no common sense in this, but to call it the absolute truth, the genuine truth, is also very doubtful. Srila Prabhupada once said: “Modern man has gone from being a human being to simply a more advanced animal, such a sophisticated animal that fulfills the lowest animal needs with very perverted, sophisticated methods.”

“You can use for your own pleasure only that which occupies a lower position. The desire for selfish pleasure inevitably leads the soul to the lower realms of reality. But service to the Higher inspires, cultivates sublime feelings and reveals to the soul its true purpose. Maharaj G.

« As soon as you stop intensively thinking with your head, you enter the path of reverse mental development.»

“A person either moves forward or slides back, even if everything seems to be the same as before.”

“If a person has not read something in a day that increases his mind at least a grain, he has taken a step forward in turning himself into a Neanderthal.” Duvarova A.

“Practice shows, life experience shows that when a man does not know for whom he lives, when there is no woman for whom it would be necessary to perform a feat, save her from her own fate and help her cleanse herself, advance in self-consciousness, then he simply degrades. A man not only does not progress himself, but, moreover, degrades! The only exceptions are people who have dedicated themselves to serving society and spreading spiritual knowledge.” Narushevich R.

"Primitiveness without improvement is a sign of degradation." Gaiduk L.

"The degradation of a nation occurs where the people stop singing their songs, and songs are the soul of the people." Grutsenko V.

« The main opportunity to remove degradation in the family lies in the fact that a man must believe in something, he must have a goal in life. Because the main duty of a man is to lead his family in terms of spiritual progress. This is the main duty, and not that he will bring money. He may be responsible for something, but what is faith? Means a search for a higher taste in happiness, a more intelligent existence, a more correct approach to life. This should be done by a man, not a woman. A woman can believe in something. For her, faith is just protection. For a man, faith is a search. Therefore, a man should seek happiness, this is his duty. If he does not do this, let him provide for the family, let him do everything necessary for her, however, happiness in the family will not increase from this. Torsunov O.

And he lay down on the couch again. A shame. Degradation. And lazy." from the movie "Secret Window"

“A person is universal, he can be everything, but he is forced to limit himself to something accessible to him from the socially acceptable, almost intentionally achieving atrophy of all functions in excess of the necessary minimum. » Ermolova E.

Man needs development, movement forward. The importance of this is emphasized by psychologists. A personality that has stalled in its development will inevitably degrade. It doesn't happen in a vacuum. Man is not born to self-destruction. There is always some reason for the beginning of the disintegration of personality.

What is degradation

Translated from Latin, the prefix de means "down" and gradacja means "step". This word entered the Russian language in the era of Peter I. Civil servants and the military in those years were afraid of "degradation", as this meant deprivation of rank and dismissal from service. At the beginning of the 20th century, it began to acquire its modern meaning.

The term means the process of transition to a simpler state of the body than before. It is used when talking about the decline, destruction and loss of some qualities. With progress, the body becomes more complex, with degradation, it becomes simpler. You can often hear about degradation from others in the form of accusations against someone.

It's not just humans that can be degraded. This happens both in culture and in society.

The meaning of the word degradation in various fields:

Personality degradation

Depression and apathy the first signs of incipient degradation. Anyone can be exposed to them, regardless of their class or lifestyle. A person's loss of his mental balance and efficiency destroys his capabilities. Sometimes a person is not able to realize the onset of regression.

Often a person degrades when there is no need to be responsible for anything. Apathy seizes her and she relaxes, begins to give preference to inaction in situations that require a decision to be made or a task to be completed. The weak-willed is guided in life only by primary needs.

Destructive passivity can take over a person at retirement. Responsibility, daily routine and work duties are no more Lonely people more often than others fall into depression, which entails a rapid withering.

Constant failures, unrequited love, loss of faith in one's own strengths, feelings of guilt or the loss of a loved one can also cause the destruction of a person. Surrounding people and events fade into the background. Human activity is drastically reduced. This state is comparable to the body's expectation of physical death, a slow suicide.

The most severe form of degradation is insanity, dementia. With this disease, the functioning of the brain is disrupted. A person ceases to recognize loved ones and adequately perceive the world around him. The body is no longer able to renew its cells and begins to age rapidly. This process can only be slowed down, not stopped. The onset of the disease is rather slow, and others may attribute its signs to a bad mood or a spoiled character. Over time, this results in serious mental disorders.

The definition of this concept is not in Wikipedia. Its counterpart is the word "degenerate", meaning a psychopathic person who despises social norms. In everyday speech, the word sounds rude and obscene. And people often replace it with a softer one - “degradant”.

Often it is used in relation to drug addicts and alcoholics, since the signs of degradation are quite pronounced in them: narrow intellectual thinking, meager emotional needs and a strong predominance of physical needs over spiritual ones. The life of people affected by these diseases is simple and limited. Their interests are focused on finding the next dose. They are no longer capable of objective self-assessment. can harm others without feeling pity or remorse.

Each sign taken separately does not indicate the beginning degradation of a person. But together with the loss of interest in family, friends and society, they indicate the beginning of the process of disintegration of the personality. Lack of will and carelessness appear, memory deteriorates and the ability to concentrate on something is lost.

It is possible to stop the process of personal decay. It is necessary to develop adequate self-criticism, expand the circle of vital interests, communicate with people and set several goals. This will help direct energy into different areas of life and get satisfaction, even if any one goal turns out to be unattainable. Constant self-improvement, development and an active life position can help a person avoid degradation.

If we talk about such a concept as personality degradation in more detail, then it represents a loss of mental balance and performance, as well as a comprehensive weakening of activity. The degradation of a person is the loss of his inherent abilities and qualities, which is accompanied by the loss of judgments, talents and feelings. If a person has become more irritable or his memory has deteriorated significantly and the ability to concentrate on something, then there are processes of degradation. The interests of such a person are significantly narrowed. At the same time, such negative qualities as carelessness, lack of will and complacency can appear.
