Author of quotes: Book characters at an appointment with a psychotherapist



Even towards his cousin Dudley, Harry does not feel jealous, but simply accepts everything as it is. Perhaps because he understands: Dudley is actually much more unhappy than him. The parents did not set boundaries for the pet, so he does not dream of anything, does not set goals and is increasingly disappointed. Despite the insults Harry himself received as a child, the boy still had goals and dreams, and life could only get better for him. Dudley didn't have any, which made him aggressive and unpleasant. Using the example of both boys, we see that anti-authoritarian upbringing of a child, with the immediate fulfillment of his desires and without setting restrictions, will not create a happy person. Only those who know the value of work and can be proud of their own achievements when they reach their goals can become happy. Harry had at least his dreams, but his cousin didn't. For Dudley, life could, on the contrary, only get worse.

Contrary to popular belief, Oedipus has nothing in common with the complex named after him. On the contrary, getting acquainted with Oedipus’s early childhood, we understand that the cause of his tragedy was the incorrect behavior of his parents.

Many other branches of science also have Greek roots. Since those times, people have invented a lot of new things, but if you dig deeper, in any innovation you will find a trace of the ancient Greek.

Literature from different eras is a veritable jewel box. It helps us learn more about ourselves because it reflects the values of people in different eras. Whether the author is aware of it or not, the ideas, prejudices and problems of his contemporary culture always permeate his writings.
