Consistent, thorough and too “correct” people, whose existence is subject to a rigid schedule, risk slipping into tediousness and endless moralizing Life is full of miracles, pleasant surprises and unexpected encounters, and a touch of spontaneity in behavior will not hurt anyone to enjoy it The Feast of All the Frivolous, which is celebrated on February 18, calls for the manifestation of carelessness and carefreeness at least one day a year Thoughtless, fickle, windy, with his head in the clouds, uncalculating These are synonyms for the word “frivolous” Their lexical meaning does not contain a categorically negative connotation In fact, what is wrong with a person who does not calculate his every step and does not make far-reaching plans, especially if they infringe on the interests of others? Is the gullibility and trustfulness inherent in children - little angels with a pure and sincere soul - so harmful? Is it necessary to always follow a clear plan or is it sometimes acceptable to deviate from its points? Yes, in its extreme manifestations, refusal to care for loved ones, irrepressible spending and unwillingness to think about the future, frivolity is harmful However, showing spontaneity without regard for the opinions of others and taking into account stereotypes once a year is unlikely to cause global harm or ruin life Some will call this a short-term exit from the matrix Other people, without drawing complex philosophical parallels, will simply turn off their usual path on February 18 on the way from work and go to a cafe or cinema at the behest of their soul In the bustle of everyday life and the rigid structure of life, we often forget about intuition, or rather, we periodically intentionally drown out its voice Of course, the behavior of modern man is controlled by the “almighty brain” But if you treat the desire to show frivolity as an impulse of the soul that escaped from the depths of the subconscious, it becomes clear that not everything is so simple An act that is not thought through to the smallest detail and at first glance irrational often leads to unexpected results The young man was going to submit documents for admission to a construction institute, but unexpectedly decided to take a risk and go to a theater university Years later, his frivolity found its justification - the young man became a good and sought-after actor Contrary to logic and a rational approach, the girl decided to spend all the money remaining before the payment to buy a chair that would fit perfectly into the interior of the apartment And we met the man of our dreams in the furniture department of a hypermarket, who came there to buy a sofa Frivolous actions give us short-term satisfaction, which is often lacking in a life full of stress and complexity Nothing catastrophic will happen if, instead of a morning run on February 18, you laze in bed or break your diet by eating a cake instead of whole grain bread at lunch The main thing is not to indulge in such deviations from the rules and remember that the Feast of All Frivolous People, like Birthdays, comes only once a year
