Our term today is associated for many with a burden, not without reason. It has two meanings that we will consider. The question of what a load fell into our attention. This noun will do.
Value
No one, probably, comes up with how difficult it is to formulate the generalized lexical meaning of the word. To our relief, there is an explanatory dictionary that takes on such difficulties. Therefore, as always, we will look into it and find out what secrets the research object holds:
- Heaviness, heavy object.
- Goods, items accepted for transportation, sent to the recipient.
This is the rare case when both values are straight. But a noun can be used in metaphorical terms. We quite often talk and hear about the burden of responsibility or decisions made. When people drag heavy things, they tear. And when they live under constant pressure, they go crazy or, at least, are treated by specialists.
So the load is not an easy thing, whatever the meaning.
Roads - arteries of the country
Technological progress cannot be stopped. People have long dreamed of traveling in time or instantaneous movements in space using, for example, teleportation. True, even such methods of delivering a person from point "A" to point "B" promise problems. If you do not believe me, revise the movie "Fly" (1986) by the wonderful director David Cronenberg.
But there is no point now dreaming of heavenly pies. So far, goods, items, that is, cargoes are all delivered by large trucks, and our country is covered with roads, frankly, of different quality. These "arteries" allow people, even in the most remote areas from the center, not to be left without goods and services. Anyone who thinks at least a little will understand why the goods are moving this way around Russia. Of course, it is all about money, while delivering goods for citizens by air is too expensive. Anyway, it's too early for us to think about teleportation. Indeed, in some cities of Russia they still cannot build the metro, what kind of teleportation is there. Therefore, it will be necessary to deliver various necessary items in the old fashioned way, using wheels.
Moral burden
As it is easy to understand, cargo is a different responsibility. Many of us would like to earn a lot, and sometimes we look with envy at our bosses. As a rule, it seems to people that their cartridges are not busy with anything, because, in their opinion, ordinary employees do all the work. Naturally, this is not entirely true. Bosses sometimes risk more: one wrong decision, and they are removed from their posts. Unless, of course, we are talking about those who were put in a chair by parents, here is a completely different logic and a different level of demand. Although, of course, not everyone spares their children, some ask them stricter than from outsiders.
Here and there, phrases are also heard that someone did not cope with the burden of responsibility assigned to him. Of course, in this case we are not talking about dragging furniture. The man could not stand the strain. Others surrender and pass under the burden of past years. In other words, age takes its toll. What conclusion can be made? A load is something that does not add joy to anyone. Unless you are the recipient of the long-awaited package.
Synonyms
The time has come for semantic replacements that are never superfluous. After we have examined the meaning of the word “cargo”, we can move on to the next question with a sense of accomplishment. Our noun can be replaced by its “colleagues”. Their list follows:
- weight;
- severity
- baggage;
- the package;
- burden;
- burden;
- luggage;
- oppression;
- luggage;
- burden.
As you can see, there is no shortage of replacements. Here the synonyms of the object of study are mixed for two meanings - direct and figurative. The reader can systematize them as he pleases. Unites semantic analogues only of their decent weight, no matter what the matter is.
As a result, difficulties temper character
Television and the Internet allow a person to snoop on other people more than before. Now no one is discussing what is happening with the neighbors, why? When there are wonderful and extremely scandalous stars of show business. That's who life is in full swing. It seems to the average citizen that the rich have no problems, no burden. The interpretation of the word in this case does not imply any ambiguity.
It is, of course, a moral burden, above all, financial problems. But money does not give happiness. This is most eloquently testified by the experience of foreign football players, who, having millions of contracts, manage to be unhappy. But they play for the best clubs in the world. There is something to think about, right?
The moral and physical tests that fall to the lot of every person only temper his will and character. Do not think that sports millionaires have sugar, they also had their own slums and their burdens (we gave the definition of the word a little higher).
Unfortunately, in the physical world there is no other way to test your own strength and margin of safety. Some kind of burden is necessary, but it is necessary that which man can do.
