Live like a wolf. To live with wolves - howl like a wolf? The Russian language is rich in expressions that mention wolves

And the wild forest, one big zone.
Here, to survive, you must kill,
By killing another, you will become an outlaw.

There are no weak people here, it’s every man for himself,
Here you understand what the value of a word means.
Well, the huntsmen are just planning something,
They want to make someone outlaw.

The day has been appointed, the hunters are on the way,
The sun froze in the sky like an icon.
The forest is again divided into red flags,
Some people are destined to become outlaws.

In the deep snow, confusing tracks,
The wolf pack leaves the chase,
Avoiding red flags
And without betraying the wild will like a wolf.

Fate has taken a look at you,
Now you are writing in the snow with blood.
He will finish it for you, someone will remain intact,
He has to live with his unloved love, you.

Only forward, you can't go back anymore,
Our wild forest, one big zone.
The huntsmen were stunned by wolf blood
And they themselves became outlaws.

Night comes, again replaced by day,
After all, for some the moon is an icon
And on TV there are still the same huntsmen,
That in the 90s they became illegal.

Over the years, the white snow has only become deeper,
It’s getting harder and harder for me to keep up with the pack.
Looks like a step, long ago, my frisky run,
Behind the new century, I’m already hobbling.

I can’t keep up, and I can’t even finish singing,
And even if there were wings behind my back?!
It’s more important not to intercede than to not know who to fly with
For the red flags of spiritual impotence.

The hunt was glorious, the huntsmen rejoiced,
The forest has become thinner, but the essence is still the same zone.
The hunters will finish you off, O my Motherland!
Those who themselves are outside the law will finish off the she-wolf.

Reviews

That's right! There is one big hunt for your people! The theme of Vysotsky is visible.
I recently read Alexander Korzhakov’s book “But Tsars Are Not Real.”
There he describes in detail how Yeltsin hunted (he could not calm down until he killed the entire herd).
The “new” president has the same goals, but different targets...
With respect for your honest civic position,

Your truth, without Semyonovich, there’s no way... Vysotsky’s “hammer” (word) will hit the filthy little snake in the head for a long time, while he stings us in the heel...
The whole comedy of the situation lies in the fact that we are protecting ourselves, those who robbed us in the 90s, from the media, and continue to do so successfully, demonstrating our “kitsch” to us “zombie” in the program “You are not you’ll believe it!”, and the people just silently swallowed. This is the height of humiliation of the peoples of Russia. But, was it ever different?

To be honest, I haven’t watched the program “You Won’t Believe It!” for a long time. I always didn't like the way it was presented.
And now I remember that I only have a TV when I need to watch a movie from a disc.

The daily audience of the portal Stikhi.ru is about 200 thousand visitors, who in total view more than two million pages according to the traffic counter, which is located to the right of this text. Each column contains two numbers: the number of views and the number of visitors.

Those who have already read reviews about the new project “By Wolf Laws” probably know that this story is based on an Australian-made drama. Many of those who watched it found the film too monotonous and therefore boring. And now a new drama series of the same name has been released, which may give us the drive we need in a good story. As a result, the story began to look much more interesting. As you know, a feature film loses to a TV series in its unhurried and detailed presentation of events - in the latter case, those who decide will receive a certain portion of “water,” but it will not be to the detriment of the project. On the contrary, watching the plot develop evenly will be much better for many.

In the center of this plot is the Cody family, which is engaged in various illegal activities. And then one day, a teenager named Joshua bursts into their measured, as far as one can call it, life - the grandson of the head of the criminal clan Janine, the son of her daughter who died from a drug overdose and the nephew of three uncles who, together with their mother, are doing dark things. In a word, on the screen in front of us looms a real gang, a pack of wolves, the laws of which Joshua must obey. The family accepts him warily, arranging constant tests of his strength.

The series was shot well, the actors were chosen competently - it’s pleasant to watch what the director did. And he turned out to be an extraordinary story, although it is based on a far from new plot. Willy-nilly, the fate of young Joshua begins to worry greatly, you watch and worry about him. The attitude towards the rest of the Cody family is twofold - the grandmother evokes either sympathy or disgust, and so do her sons.

Left without a mother and without knowing his father, effectively an orphan, Joshua begins to drift in his new life. It is impossible to say for sure whether he likes such changes. Perhaps he will accept this life, turning onto the path leading to the criminal world, and perhaps he will find the strength to betray his new family. The series will let us know about this. “According to wolf laws” season 2. In the meantime, the release of each new episode is expected with trepidation and excitement - how the fate of the young hero will ultimately turn out. There are no faked scenes in the script; you believe in what happens on the screen. Well, in general, it will be informative to learn more about American crime, so to speak, from the inside.

If you live with wolves, then howl like them

The English equivalent of the saying “to live with wolves, howl like a wolf” When in Rome, do as the Romans do - when you are in Rome, do as the Romans

Director
Feel free to chop everything into tiny pieces -
And this vinaigrette will bring you success.
It’s easy for you to invent, it’s easy for us to imagine!
What good is it if you give them the “whole”?
After all, the public will tear him apart into pieces.
Poet
And you don't see how vile and shameful
Such a craft? Am I not an artist?
Trashy scribblers are empty dirty tricks
As you can see, it has become a rule
Director
Such a reproach cannot offend us;
After all, every person, having his own reason,
He takes the weapon that hits best.

Who is your audience, may I ask?
One comes to us to quench boredom,
The other, having filled his belly tighter,
He's in a hurry to digest lunch here,
And the third - which is perhaps worse for us -
He comes to judge us by the rumors from the newspapers.
For them there is only one thing - theater, balls and masquerades:
We drive all the people away only with curiosity;
And the ladies - they go to show off their outfits...
(Johan Wolfgang Goethe “Faust”, prologue about poets)

19 For although I was free from everyone, I made myself a slave to everyone, that I might gain more:
20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win the Jews; to those under the law he was as one under the law, in order to gain those under the law;
21 To those who are strangers to the law, as one who is stranger to the law, not being a stranger to the law in the sight of God, but under the law of Christ, so as to win those who are strangers to the law;

"To live with wolves is to howl like a wolf"- an expression that has its roots in the distant past. Our ancestors were closer to nature than we are. They knew the animal world, including the laws of the wolf pack.

It's not just a certain number of wolves. It has its own orders and a clear hierarchy, submission to the laws of life.

I suggest you remember the story of how a little boy who was lost in the forest was fed and raised by a pack of wolves. When hunters chased wolves, they did not abandon a human cub, who simply physically did not know how to run like them. Actually, it was for this reason that the child came to people.

When you get to the wolves, you share the fate of their pack - all the good and all the bad, deprivation and prosperity, hunger and abundance.

The Russian language is rich in expressions that mention wolves:

The meaning of phraseology

The phraseological phrase “To live with wolves is to howl like a wolf” means that once you find yourself in a collective/society, you involuntarily begin to live according to its laws, abandoning some of your life principles.

This expression is still relevant today. It is very vital and best characterizes certain aspects of human society.

This can also be called ethics of imitation. A person who follows such an ethical system simply copies (more or less consciously) the behavior of the people around him, and, first of all, his attitude towards himself personally. In practice, such behavior does not always seem attractive or even decent. If others behave “normally” with a given person, then they can expect the same from him. But if some kind of outrage is happening around, he will definitely take part in it, moreover, he will consider it his duty, since the biggest sin within the framework of this ethical system is “separation from the collective.”

Within this system, it is impossible for one person to be right and the others to be wrong, or for one person to do better than everyone else. This situation seems (and is, within the framework of this system) absurd, a contradiction in definition.

Imitation, generally speaking, is the basis of all behavior.. A person imitates both himself (by repeating his own actions) and others (by learning). The first ethical system is the most natural, although perhaps not the most pleasant to live in society.

The first ethical system seems to be something eternal. "That's life, that's how it was Always"- this is what those who live by these laws think. Within this system, it makes no difference When an action is taking place - whether it has been committed, is being performed now, or is just about to happen. “He tried to kill me, or he is trying to kill me, or he is going to kill me, he generally Maybe[has the opportunity, strength or desire] to kill me - that means I too Can[I have the right] to kill him”: this is a typical reasoning within the framework of the first ethical system. Or, in general form: "All Always they do this, so do I Always I will do this, I did it before, and I do it now, and I will do it in the future.”

The source of evil in this ethical system is considered to be disobedience, self-will, and in general all kinds of manifestations disobedience to society, understood as inattention to others. Any manifestations of “your own opinion”, etc. are considered simply manifestations of indifference or contempt for society, and by no means a “voice of conscience.” Naturally, this cannot evoke any sympathy from anyone: a person who does not act like everyone else simply despises everyone and does not take anyone into account - this is the conclusion that those around him immediately draw. "He disgraced"- they talk about such a person, and try, at best, to reason with him, and more often - to punish him, or to get rid of him altogether.

Civilizations based entirely on the first ethical system, have long ceased to dominate the planet. It persists within some cultures, which can be designated by the word “South”. However, this behavior did not disappear, moreover, it is continuously reproduced within the framework of so-called “subcultures”. It is enough to observe how relationships work within a youth group, gang or any other marginal group to see the first ethical system in action.

Second ethical system

Let's consider the second ethical rule.

I should not behave towards others the way they do not behave towards me.
