A message about the good people of our country. The kindest people in Russian history

Request text: "Thank you! I like about something human - the kindest, most sympathetic, most humane... :)"

Are there people on our Earth who know neither wars, nor violence, nor murders? A startling discovery was made by anthropologists. In 1971, on the Philippine Islands, where, it would seem, everything had been explored far and wide, an unknown tribe of people was discovered. It lives separately and does not know that there is a world around it, where there are also others like them. This tribe was called the Tasadei. Tasadao is a mountain above the entrance to a cave on the slope of one of the hills in the wilds of the island of Mindanao. There the Tasadei spend the night.

These people have a very primitive life. Each day they live is not much different from the previous one. Waking up at sunrise, they go down to the stream to wash and have breakfast. Thanks to the rich flora and ponds teeming with tadpoles, small fish and crabs, they always have food at hand and do not need to stock up.

The Tasadays sit down on sun-warmed rocks and begin their meal, feeding each other their prey. At noon, the tribe moves into the shade and spends the rest of the day in peace and quiet.

Only at sunset they go in search of plant food and after a vegetarian dinner (lunch) they take refuge in a cave for the night. Their undisturbed sleep lasts about 12 hours.

This tribe knows neither quarrels nor enmity. When making any decision, they quickly come to a common opinion, so there is no need to appoint chiefs and elders.

Due to the fact that Tasadeans do not have a very good memory, they do not remember accidental insults and do not hold grudges against their fellows. Couples are created only for love. One marriage for life. The feeling of jealousy is unknown to these amazing people, since they also do not experience betrayal.

In this group of people everyone is equal. After all, they have no property, and they don’t know what money is.

Another remarkable quality of Tasadays is the absence of bad habits (smoking and drinking alcohol). Scientists believe that these people are good-natured and forgiving from birth.

This is how Akimushkin describes their life:

(Igor Ivanovich Akimushkin(May 1, Moscow - January 1, Moscow) - writer, biologist, popularizer of biology, author of popular science books about animal life.)

Let's see how the Tasadays spend their day, what their simple life is like.

As soon as the sun rises, the Tasadei, rubbing their eyes and stretching, slowly descend down the natural potholes and ledges of the lava tuff that makes up the foot of the cave. Mothers carry or lead their children by the hand. The Tasadei have no hierarchy, no advantage or privilege to enter and exit the cave, no ceremonial order.

Let us note here for memory that monkeys have a hierarchy. Obviously, it was also among the Neolithic people - the Cro-Magnons. But their predecessors, judging by the Tasadays, did not have it. This means that hierarchical “bureaucracy” and “honor of rank” are not genetically inherent in people, but developed later, with the formation of a primitive communal and class society (although some anthropologists believe otherwise). We will return to this issue a little later, when we talk about human aggressiveness.

After this small but important digression for understanding the foundations of human psychology, let us return to the Tasadays who awakened from sleep.

Still sleepy, smeared in soot and soot, they go down to the stream. Adults wash themselves and wash off the soot; children are bathed by their mothers.

Then the search for food begins. Tasadei do not stock up on food: the surrounding nature is generous and supplies in abundance everything necessary for food. They find their breakfast right at the doorstep of the house. Children sit on the bank of a stream and hold bags made of leaves in their hands. Men catch fish, crabs, and tadpoles with their hands (the latter are the main dish on the Tasadei menu).

Children and adults settle down where the stones are heated by the sun, where it is warmer. They eat slowly. No one claims to have the most satisfying and plentiful piece. They readily share with each other everything they caught in half an hour.

Basking in the sun. They remember with laughter the successes and failures of the morning hunt for tadpoles. Tasadeans have a short memory, as they say. They remember only recent events, and completely forget what happened 5-6 years ago. In general, good things are remembered better than bad things. Therefore, they do not hold a grudge against each other for long. Involuntary offenses are easily forgiven. I say “involuntary” because the Tasadei do not know how to deliberately cause offense.

Five hours pass unnoticed. The sun rises to its zenith, and the Tasadays move to a shady place. They sit in a close group, usually silently. They don't have any work. There is little entertainment. The midday hours are spent as if in nirvana.

However, one entertainment repeated day after day amuses them during these hours.

Although the Tasadei always keep fires burning in their caves, they can quickly rekindle dry moss if they die out. This is making fire (whose moss will ignite sooner!) and practice, and competition between men, and teaching children a task so necessary in the life of primitive man.

Fire is produced by friction. A pointed stick is inserted into a recess in the board and quickly rotated back and forth in the palms until the wood begins to smoke. Immediately they press dry palm bark and moss to the hole, blow on them, and a fire breaks out! This procedure takes about five minutes.

Shortly before sunset (in the tropics this happens at about 6 p.m.), some Tasadays get up and go into the surrounding jungle in search of fruits, fruits, and most importantly, tubers of wild yams. However, their journey through the forests is not long: they do not go further than three or four kilometers from their native cave. They'll be back soon. The long leaves of uprooted yams hang in a dense pile behind the men’s backs.

Yam tubers are washed in water, baked in hot ashes and eaten.

Lunch and dinner at the Tasadeans, as you can see, are vegetarian. At night, the Tasadei move into a cave to plunge into a peaceful sleep until the morning. They sleep, therefore, almost twelve hours a day, from evening to dawn.

Tomorrow will be the same as the last.

This is how the Tasadeans live “in peace with each other and in harmony with the surrounding nature.” They have no enemies either among people or in nature. Large predators are not found in the Philippines. Only snakes are afraid of the Tasadei. They don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol, and generally don’t fight or kill. They don’t even have any weapons! And stone tools are very simple (Paleolithic type).

Tasadays do not engage in agriculture. They don't have pets either. No crafts, no clothes. Several orchid leaves fastened together replace their loincloth, which is all that covers their body.

The Tasadei have no chiefs or elders. Decisions are made jointly, after a short discussion, and then acted in solidarity. They have no property, neither rich nor poor. They don’t know what money is, what work is (in our understanding). They also do not know divorce, adultery, blood feuds or jealousy. Marriages are made for love, once and for life. And although there are more men in the tribe than women, no one breaks the strong bonds of marriage.

“An anthropologist who observed their quiet life believes that they belong to “the gentlest people on Earth” (E. White and D. Brown).

“No, the Tasadays are just a special case,” Lorenz’s followers continue to object. “Their primitive way of life is not a primary phenomenon, but a secondary one: the Tasadays relatively recently separated from the common root of the Philippine peoples, got lost in the wilderness of the wilds of the island of Mindanao, forgot the cultural skills they possessed, and sank to a much lower level of development.

Therefore, the Tasadays cannot serve for anthropology as a model of our actual ancestor - man of the Old Stone Age. This is just a tiny “big family” of Filipinos who once left their labors and worries into the wild wilderness of the jungle. They are people who fled from people, and not the original links in human evolution.

- Well, what does it matter if the Tasadeans are genetically not an ancient link in the chain of human generations, but a modern one? Their way of life can still serve as a model of the behavior of the very first people, since the Tasadays were placed in the same living conditions as in ancient times, and because of this, according to the law of convergence, they acquired many features of the life of primitive people...

P.S.
Some anthropologists believe that the first people were just as meek from birth. They led the same life as the Tasadays. Later, those of them who migrated to the north, to regions poor in food and rich in enemies, armed themselves with a club and a spear. But even here people remained non-aggressive for a long time. Fratricidal fights, robberies, and wars began much later with the development of the primitive communal system.

However, there is another point of view in science.

Some scientists, including such a famous ethologist as K. Lorenz, believe that aggressiveness is immanent in humans, it is a heavy legacy of our animal ancestors. Aggressiveness, according to Lorenz, will always possess a person and manifest itself in violence and other bad deeds, if society does not find another reasonable expression for it. If he doesn't find it, it will be terrible! Man's natural aggressiveness will destroy him in the end.

What's interesting here is this. The discovery of the Tasadeans and the study of their way of life tilts the opinion of most scientists in favor of the first hypothesis: man was not born with an animal nature! He is a peaceful creature in his original essence.
Let them argue...

P Remember the song of the old woman Shapoklyak from the cartoon about the crocodile Gena: “You cannot become famous for good deeds.” Unfortunately, in the modern world, negative events and actions generate more interest than good deeds. But the people from our article do good simply because they have a pure heart and this makes their souls happier. Do good no matter what!

About the victory of good

The story began when Glen James, a homeless man from Boston, found a backpack containing a large amount of cash on the street. He was very lucky, but the man did not lose his head and handed over the find to the police so that the money could be returned to the owner. The owner of the backpack was so shocked by what happened that he organized a campaign to raise money for the man. So far they have collected twice the amount found. Glen James, who lost his home and job eight years ago, said he wouldn't take a penny from what he found even if he was desperate.

Friendship + car = good

Kindness in Russian

Kind-hearted grandmother

A Kolmyk grandmother knitted 300 pairs of warm socks for flood victims. As you know, there are no small good deeds, and once again we find confirmation of this in the wonderful news from Magadan. A local resident, pensioner Rufina Ivanovna Korobeinikova, knitted and donated them to flood victims in Khabarovsk three hundred pairs of warm socks.

Over the course of several years, the elderly woman knitted about two thousand woolen products, which were donated to the pupils of an orphanage and to a home for the disabled. Since things knitted by a merciful grandmother were usually given to those in need at Christmas, over time a very warm tradition of “woolen gifts” developed in local shelters, and Rufina Ivanovna was already knitting new socks for the upcoming holiday when the flood began in Khabarovsk.

Rufina Ivanovna, having heard in the news about the tragedy associated with the flood, decided that now her “woolen gifts” are more important to the victims, because many people were left not only without housing, but also without clothes.

Written gratitude to dad

How much does it take to be happy?

Farewell screensaver

The Scorpions singer sang the song Holiday to his fan over the phone

The Scorpions group was on tour in Moscow. At this time, a message from a charitable foundation appeared on social networks that a fan of the group, who was in a Moscow hospice with a serious diagnosis, dreamed of going to their concert. Within a day, the message received several thousand reposts, and Klaus Meine, vocalist of Scorpions, found a way out of the situation. If Alexey cannot attend the concert, he will hear his favorite band over the phone.

We have collected a real dozen stories about how celebrities (even evil rockers) are people too. And kind ones. Especially when there is grief next to them.

Marilyn Manson

Many call him a pervert, many do not understand his style and music. And many don’t even know who he is. And this, by the way, is not just a legendary rock musician, but one of the kindest celebrities in the world. In 2000, he visited a teenager with terminal cancer. Moreover, Manson brought a bunch of memorabilia for the boy, and stayed with the child in his house for several hours. The guys chatted, played video games, played the guitar, and even read comics. And three weeks later the boy died. At the time of his death, he was wearing a Manson T-shirt.

Catch one of the best (according to the editors) Manson clips:

Metallica

This happened in 2009. 85-year-old American Margaret claimed that Metallica's hits saved her from cancer. The story created so much hype that even the members of the ensemble found out about it. The guys were not at a loss and invited Margaret to their concert (for which, by the way, tickets had long been sold out). Then, before the performance, they took the old lady backstage and chatted with her there. The final touch - James Hetfield (vocals, guitar) dedicated “Nothing Else Matters” to the lady.

Colin Farrell

A true story from the life of an Irish actor. During the filming of the film “The Recruit” in Toronto, a local radio host announced a competition:

• will give $1000 to anyone who brings Colin to the radio station.

Colin was at first upset: they say this is a direct attack on his personal life. But then the actor did go to the studio, accompanied by a certain homeless man, Dave. Like, I decided to help the poor guy. Dave won his thousand, but he didn’t drink it away, but “got back to his feet.”

A few years later, Colin returned to Toronto, found Dave, and was convinced that his generous act had changed the homeless man’s life. And even for the better.

Keanu Reeves

When it came to splitting the money for the second and third Matrix films, Keanu decided to give part of his profits to the team that worked on the special effects and costumes. I thought they deserved it. Bottom line: Reeves “donated” $75 million. The actor doesn’t regret it one bit.

The most long-awaited gift that people expect from celebrities is a personal meeting. And the stars are happy to do this. There have always been many such famous people both in our country and abroad. You can recall the famous doctor Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov, who was known for his charitable activities.

Wheelchair basketball with Gerard Pique

Famous defender of the Barcelona football club Gerard Pique sat in a wheelchair specifically to be on an equal footing with people in wheelchairs diagnosed with paralysis and to play basketball with them.

Askold and Edgar, having laid Marfa in the hall of the institute, brought Vanya to her. The boy stroked the animal and said that he was not afraid at all.

After the visit Edgar shared his thoughts: “The words “courage” and “children” should not be interconnected, but what we saw today cannot be called differently: when a nine-year-old child courageously fights for life and at the same time finds the strength to rejoice. Holding Vanya in my arms, tears welled up in my eyes, to hide it.”

Before leaving, the Zapashny brothers gave the child a small toy tiger cub in memory of their meeting.

Ivan Tkachenko transferred 500,000 rubles twice for the treatment of Diana Ibragimova.

Sometimes it seems to us that the world is closed in its cruelty and pursuit of money, but this is not so! Evidence of this is the good deeds that famous people do. And how many more things ordinary people do, we just don’t know about it...
