To understand what distinguishes the European andeastern civilization, enough to listen to what they say in the Arab world about the eternal theme - about love. Biologically, Europeans and Semitic peoples are one kind - a reasonable person, but mentally, psychologically, differences are such that they can not be overcome, but can only be unified, if there is, of course, a desire. Eastern peoples are exceptionally sensual and live, so to speak, with love here and now. They do not understand European dreaminess, just as we do not understand their subtle pragmatism in this sphere of human relations. Eastern wisdom says: in order to be happy in life, you need to eat meat, ride meat and lovingly stick meat into meat. In Europe, such a pragmatic image could not arise in principle.
"Song of Songs" and Eastern wisdom with her
This book of the Old Testament was created by Solomon,the wisest of the wisest. And judging by his texts, so it is. "Song of Songs" is a poem that is thematically composed of two parts. In the first one says a favorite about his beloved, and in the second - a favorite about his beloved. The physical temperament of both heroes is amazing. They describe each other from head to foot, savoring every bend of the body of a loved one. Looks in the eyes in this concentrated wisdom are completely absent. She reports on what this bliss is - "to fall asleep on the shoulder of a loved one, hiding it with his left hand, exhausting his body with love." These are real quotes. Eastern wisdom presented them to the church, which interpreted the winged expressions allegorically. But give this book to a person ignorant, he will say that this is a lofty erotic, a manifestation of the love of a man and a woman, who are described with the highest art, because behind the simplicity of exposition no art is noticeable. And Solomon does not touch any moral and moral criteria in his brilliant poem, because his sensual nature knows how to love not in the future, but now, on this bed. Other feelings in love Solomon and his half-blooded people do not know.
Woman - a fount of pleasure
Arab warriors for the faith in Paradise await the heavenlybeauty of the Huriy. And the eastern wisdom about a woman speaks only from this side. Therefore, it is not surprising that women who have grown up and departed from their dawn for 15-28 years cease to be interested in Arab poets. Even Omar Khayyam devotes his delights to the "buds" of roses, on which the "dew of tears" tremble. And it's not for nothing that God in the Old Testament constantly blesses the eastern woman with fertility. If it ceases to be a storehouse of pleasures, it must find happiness in the other, in the continuation of the kind of its master. The poet expresses his incredible anguish, the Arab understanding of love: "Even with the most beautiful of the dear friends try to part with no tears and no pain. All will pass. Beauty is fleeting: as you do not hold, it slips out of your hands. " How can it be that love overcomes time? Neither Semitic poets nor Semites themselves understand this. Their pragmatic worldview makes you appreciate the youth a hundred times stronger than the Europeans do, who see themselves in dreams as 40-year-olds. The Arab sees himself only as a 20-year-old, when "love burns hot" and "the night and the day" of a person deprives. "Love is sinless, pure, because you are young," says the Arab poet in the general thought of his people.
"Like buds, love; like buds, fire "
While the blood is blazing and boiling, it still hasmeaning to live, - the eastern wisdom of love says. And he says: who did not fall in love with the twenty, it's unlikely that anyone will ever fall in love. Therefore, it is not without reason that there are associations with the biblical "time to scatter and time to collect." Transience time Eastern man perceives as punishment for his fiery desire to live. And in love he, first of all, sees its transience.
And love - without treason!
Strange from the European point of view,that in their folklore, in poetic culture and in everyday wisdom, there are no motives for betraying love, as if this component in the relationship between a man and a woman is not in nature. But there is nothing strange about it, if you see love as an all-devouring young and fresh flame, like a rosebud that just lives with the premonition that a bumblebee will sit on it. And the conclusion: old age is worthy of wisdom, and youth is love. How they manage to distinguish between old age and youth, for Europeans it is very difficult to understand.
Love is the beginning of adulthood
No, this is not Eastern wisdom.This is the eastern rule of love, or even more - the law of life, which is carried out rigorously. Even stricter than the injunction of the prophet himself, the Most High, who was one of the few Arabs who are capable of loving a woman, not only sensually. And it is natural that in the eastern world all aspects of the prophet's life were discussed, except this one. It is simply not peculiar to them by nature. "A woman is a big trouble. She is in love only a reward, "said Avar poet Tazhutdin Chanka.
