What people with Soviet thinking spend their lives on

The thinking of the older generation is very different from the worldview of modern youth. This is most evident in the habit of accumulating. There was a time when food was scarce. And about how it happened to get it, standing in line for an hour, we learn from the mouth of a sweet grandmother. Of course, time affects people’s behavior and habits. The Soviet mindset of older relatives is sometimes very surprising, but when you know the background, everything falls into place. Today's edition. "Site" It will tell you about habits that have been gradually evaporated since the days of the USSR, but are partly inherited from generation to generation.



There are no shortages of food now. You can go to the store at any time and buy what you need. But still there are people who buy unnecessary cereals or canned food on a stock, and all this food spoils, because in the end no one eats it. Same thing with conservation. People carry heavy bags of vegetables, spend time and effort preparing twenty jars of jam and as many pickles. Every year. Why wear yourself out? You need to adequately calculate your strength and prepare just as much as you can eat.



Clothing is worn, worn, but in no case is not thrown away after that in the garbage. A dress that has lost its decent appearance is worn at home or turned into a rag. On the one hand, it is commendable and environmentally friendly. On the other hand, it's not very comfortable. As a result, in the closet lies half of the things that have a new purpose: it seems that there are clothes, and nothing to wear. Why would you wear torn clothes at home? Such savings sometimes destroy families. Imagine a tired husband who comes to a clean clean house and sees Cinderella in the garb every day. She doesn't have time to dress up, she has to do everything at home. Here's a man and goes to another who respects herself a little more.



Tea sets and sets donated for the wedding are displayed behind the glass in the locker. This is a special dish that is used on the occasion of a birthday or on the New Year. The rest of the time you have to drink tea from a mug with a chip. Instead of using what you like every day, people are putting themselves in a box that doesn’t exist. Sad to admit it, but the tastes of children and grandchildren will be different. They may not like the cups you've been keeping for the last 15 years. And they'll get away with it a lot faster.



There are too many rules that people make up for themselves every day. These are dozens of prohibitions that prevent them from living freely and carefreely. You can not wash dishes with a means for washing dishes, you can not refuse a dish at a party - a bad tone, you should always eat everything from the plate that lies on it, you can not touch beautiful things. This list can be endless, but why?



To live is to live every day. Do not cherish memories of the past and do not make grandiose plans for 20 years ahead. Learn to live in the moment, now, and stop worshipping things. Things are made to enjoy themselves.
