And this is Parasite — do you recognize it?

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Parasite is a person who lives and acts at the expense of other people.

Total Parasites are rare — more often a person manifests the position of the Parasite at some time in some area. More precisely, to speak of the position of the Parasite, which once seems to happen to each of us.

In a situation of well-being and abundance, the Parasite burns through time, money and strength, not thinking about the future. If there is an opportunity to live or take a walk at someone else’s expense, he is simply happy, so he sucks up to the strong and rich.

For the Parasite, those who are useful are their own, and in the sense of “their own”, that they should help him. He, unfortunately, cannot reciprocate them, because (a bunch of reasons).

In a difficult situation, the Parasite is primarily a balabol and a lazy person who does not think about who will still do everything that is needed. Arrangements for the Parasite are an abstract thing: “My word: I gave it, I will take it back!”. It is typical to shift one’s responsibility for what happened to others, the world, life and other circumstances.

“I didn’t buy because there were queues!” and also “Listen, I can’t return your money, I’m completely broke right now!” Such a person can speak beautifully and responsibly, but on business he suddenly turns out to be an unreliable person, loading you with a Parasite.

In a situation of competition for limited resources, the Parasite looks for ways to circumvent the rules common to all and still resolve the issue in its favor, even if in a dishonest way.

In a dangerous situation, the Parasite does nothing at first, hoping for Avos, and when the thunder breaks out, it cries, begs to save him in order to attract the attention of those who can help him. When it gets really hot, he is a coward, runs away, leaving everyone, not thinking about anyone. Caught — he is a traitor, will hand over everyone, just to save himself.

The dream of the Parasite is to be friends with Luck and find a Self-Assembly Tablecloth so that you always have a free Freebie.

Discussion: where are the exact boundaries?

Parasite is one of the ways of human life, along with the way of life of the Creator, Romantic and Consumer. The opposite of the position of the Parasite is the position of the Doer, but it is important to clarify the boundaries of the concept: indeed, children, women, and the elderly often live at someone else’s expense. Is it right to call these people parasites? Apparently not. A parasite is someone who lives at someone else’s expense without the consent of the one at whose expense it happens, who likes to live at someone else’s expense.

A thoughtless parasite — accustomed to living at the expense of others and not thinking about who feeds and maintains it. A consciously living parasite is one who lives by the philosophy of the Parasite and quite consciously seeks those who will support, feed and take care of him without aggravating conditions.

However, no one will call an elderly person a parasite, whom children and grandchildren consider it an honor to care for. The right to live at the expense of his grandchildren does not give him age, but his previous life, where he was active, caring and loving. If a person has been a parasite all his life, then, having become old and infirm, he does not by default receive the right to someone’s service and maintenance, and most often he does not have anyone who could do this.

Live in such a way that in old age you have such children and grandchildren who can take care of you and do it from the heart, with love.

Men like to take care of their beloved women, and a woman who allows a man to take care of herself: gives her a hand, opens the door for her, helps her carry heavy things — not a parasite, but a woman who adorns a man’s life.

If a woman does not decorate a man’s life, but demands attention, care and money from him, then this is already a parasitic way of life.

Children live at the expense of their parents, but if at this time they please their parents and learn to be people, this is not parasitism, but childhood. When a child does not learn anything good and does not think to please his parents, he takes their care for granted, without gratitude (and, on the contrary, with pretensions), he turns into a parasite.

The child is standing in a fur coat, his mitten has fallen on the snow. What will the child do? Bend over and lift? This child thinks differently. Without turning his head, he loudly says to his mother: “Fell!” and waits for his mother to serve him. This is the behavior of a parasite.

A parasite is a kind of freeloader, where the place of the “world” is taken by another person or organization. Freeloaders are people who are looking for free cheese that luck will give them.
