People ask: "Grace is what is it?"Because the world is for the most part harsh and unjust. True, he was almost always like that. Only Adam and Eve tasted the fruits of the trees of paradise, and we are forced to live in suffering, hardship and pain, trusting only at the mercy of God.
The semantic content of the concept
The battery of values looks like this:
1. Good, sympathetic attitude towards a person. "Grace" comes closer in content with the word "pity." True, such a turn of speech is characteristic of 19th century novels, for example, the works of Dostoevsky.
2. Grace is trust, location. For example, they used to say: "Inject into mercy." Now such a turn is not that rare, you will not meet him. Now they say "get into trust."
3. Grace is a gift, a favor, a blessing.The example that was above about the “mercy of God” is well suited to illustrate this meaning. On the one hand, a person in an evil and cold world can rely on the goodness of God, and on the other hand, the goodness of God, like man, is a gift and a boon.
four.“Your grace” - this is how they used to appeal to nobles and landowners. Now this expression can be found only in an ironic sense. For example, the Head, Ivan Petrovich, his grace, finally raised our salary, gentlemen!
5. "By your grace."Here “grace” is synonymous with “will.” Moreover, it is surprising, but mercy, which initially has a good value, changes the emotional charge from positive to negative. For example, a girl, Kate, tells a classmate: “By your grace, Petrov, I first scrubbed the board with indecent words, and then I was left after school to talk about behavior, and all because you set me up, I know that you I wrote these nasty words on the blackboard! ”
6.Something good that adds positive emotions is pleasant, tender, and it can be both a thing and a living thing, action or deed. Kittens come to mind at once, small, fluffy and hooligan, with which everyone is touched, except for those who are allergic to them.
So, we got to the end of the list and found out the meaning of the word “mercy”. It turns out that there are six of them. Moving on.
Ernest Hemingway - the most "cute" writer
Strange title for the one who created the imagemen, and yet it is. And it is not clear where it came from. But if you read the prose of an American classic, first in Russian and then in English, then the words “nice” in the Russian version, and nice in English are found quite often. Although perhaps the translators are to blame. But, anyway, Hemingway's prose returns to the Russian language the beautiful word “mercy” and its derivatives. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to read the author “Farewell, Weapon” in order to rapidly humanize. If you allow yourself some liberty, then we can say that mercy is Hemingway's prose.
Milota and mercy
Милость уходит из активного словарного запаса, а milota actively entered it through the Network. It is difficult to say, from there the word arose, there is a suspicion that all this is the influence of Japanese culture, namely anime. There, all are touched, they play with their faces and exclaim, "Kawai!" This word can be translated approximately the same as English nice - nice, good, kind.
Правда, повальное увлечение маленькими детьми, with seals, romantic dinners, tearful soap operas and programs discredits “grace”, there is a tendency to call anything not pretty as opposed to the general trend.
But the main thing is not this, but that behind the general delightabout seals, children and love stories, a person forgets the true meaning of the term “mercy”. The definition is unnecessary, because the word has meanings, let the reader choose any of them to your taste.
