“In the readers of my letters, I imagine friends. Letters to friends allow me to write simply. First, I write about the purpose and meaning of life, about the beauty of behavior, and then I turn to the beauty of the world around us, to the beauty that opens up to us in works of art. I do this because in order to perceive the beauty of the environment, a person himself must be spiritually beautiful, deep, stand on the right life positions. Try to hold the binoculars in trembling hands - you will not see anything ”(D.S. Likhachev).
Letter ten
Honor true and false
I don't like definitions and am often not ready for them. But I can point out some differences between conscience and honor.
There is one essential difference between conscience and honor. Conscience always comes from the depths of the soul, and by conscience they are cleansed to one degree or another. Conscience "gnaws". Conscience is not false. It can be muffled or exaggerated (very rarely). But ideas about honor are completely false, and these false ideas cause enormous damage to society. I mean what is called the "honor of the uniform." We have lost such a phenomenon, unusual for our society, as the concept of noble honor, but the "honor of the uniform" remains a heavy burden. It was as if a man had died, and only the uniform remained, from which the orders were removed. And within which a conscientious heart no longer beats.
The “honor of the uniform” forces the leaders to defend false or vicious projects, to insist on the continuation of obviously unsuccessful construction projects, to fight with the societies protecting monuments (“our construction is more important”), etc. There are many examples of such upholding of the “honor of the uniform”.
True honor is always in accordance with conscience. False honor is a mirage in the desert, in the moral desert of the human (or rather, “bureaucratic”) soul.
You should be offended only when they want to offend you. If they don’t want to, and the reason for resentment is an accident, then why be offended?
Without getting angry, clear up the misunderstanding - and that's it.
Well, what if they want to offend? Before responding to an insult with an insult, it is worth considering: should one stoop to an insult? After all, resentment usually lies somewhere low and you should bend down to it in order to pick it up.
If you still decide to be offended, then first perform some mathematical action - subtraction, division, etc. Let's say you were insulted for something in which you are only partly to blame. Subtract from your feelings of resentment everything that does not apply to you. Suppose that you were offended by noble motives - divide your feelings into noble motives that caused an insulting remark, etc. Having performed some necessary mathematical operation in your mind, you will be able to respond to an insult with great dignity, which will be the nobler than less value you give offense. To certain limits, of course.
In general, excessive touchiness is a sign of a lack of intelligence or some kind of complexes. Be smart.
There is good English rule: be offended only when you want offend intentionally offend. There is no need to be offended by simple inattention, forgetfulness (sometimes characteristic of a given person due to age, due to some psychological shortcomings). On the contrary, show special attention to such a “forgetful” person - it will be beautiful and noble.
This is if they “offend” you, but what if you yourself can offend another? In relation to touchy people, one must be especially careful. Resentment is a very painful character trait.

Letter Eleven on Careerism
A person develops from the first day of his birth. He is looking to the future. He learns, learns to set new tasks for himself, without even realizing it. And how quickly he masters his position in life. He already knows how to hold a spoon and pronounce the first words.
Then he also studies as a boy and a young man.
And the time has come to apply your knowledge, to achieve what you aspired to. Maturity. You have to live in real...
But the acceleration persists, and now, instead of teaching, the time comes for many to master the position in life. The movement goes by inertia. A person is constantly striving towards the future, and the future is no longer in real knowledge, not in mastering the skill, but in arranging oneself in an advantageous position. The content, the original content, is lost. The present time does not come, there is still an empty aspiration to the future. This is careerism. Inner restlessness that makes a person unhappy personally and unbearable for others.

At first glance, the statement of Dmitry Sergeevich Likhachev, the most famous scientist, writer and public figure, about the existence of the so-called false honor seems somewhat strange and incomprehensible: honor, understood as the highest dignity of a person, cannot be false. In this case, probably, it can already be called dishonor. But the great Russian thinker of the 20th century interprets the concept of honor in this way, denoting its two possible components - truth and falsehood. Let us try, following the scientist, to understand what is true and false honor.
Let us turn to the letter "True and False Honor" from the well-known collection of letters for youth "Letters about the good." D.S. Likhachev writes: "... ideas about honor are completely false, and these false ideas cause enormous harm to society." How to understand this statement of the author? He speaks of the so-called "honor of the uniform", which is a heavy burden on the shoulders of officials. However, the writer makes one think: is it really difficult for modern officials and those in power to observe the unwritten laws of honor? Turns out it's almost impossible! And when circumstances require it, understood by the author as his own selfish interests, then the expression “honor of uniform” distorted by modern bureaucrats appears. It is she who forces officials to defend false projects, to insist on the continuation of obviously unsuccessful construction projects, to demolish cultural monuments. There are quite a few examples of such a violation of honor. One cannot but agree with Likhachev on this: for modern officials there is no concept of honor, for them there is only a great desire to hide their shortcomings and failures, to defend the right to continue to live and work exclusively in their own interests, and not for the benefit of people. This is a false honor, which should be called and recognized as dishonor.
And what, in Likhachev's understanding, is true honor? The author's answer is simple and unambiguous. Honor is the conscience of a person, that inner measure of everything good and bad, which will not allow you to stumble and do something bad, immoral. And then there will be no longer the notorious "honor of a bureaucrat's uniform", but simply honor - a universal concept and principle, in accordance with which the life of a decent person should be built.
Thus, we can conclude: true honor is conscience. Today, in a non-spiritual world, this concept is so important and significant that everyone who considers himself a person should be aware of it. False honor is the unwritten rules of solidarity of officials acting in the interests of the state and people, but only for reasons of their own benefits and aspirations. It is impossible not to admire the conclusions of the Russian thinker, who at the turn of the century warned about the consequences of a true and false understanding of honor.
