(144 words) The inner world can be considered synonymous with the spiritual world. This is a reflection of feelings, emotions, impressions.
The content of the inner world does not depend on the age of the person. It is no accident that Chingiz Aitmatov in this text tells the story of little Avalbek, who lost his father in the war. Once a boy and his mother went to the cinema. There was a film about the war, and Avalbek’s mother said that the father is on the screen. Of course, this was not so, but the boy believed. He worried about the soldier, was proud of him. It was at that moment that the hero first realized his loss.
Similar feelings are experienced by the heroes of Anatoly Aleksin's work “First Day - Last Day of Creation”. The orphans, whose fathers were shot or died in the war, invented heroes for themselves, looked for their photographs on the pages of books, and told stories that they themselves wanted to believe. Adults did not dissuade children, because without faith then it was simply impossible to survive.
So it turns out that the inner world reflects our impressions of the outer world.
Example from the movie: The heroine of the film by S. Rostotsky “And the dawns here are quiet ...” Galya Chetvertak grew up in an orphanage, but she told everyone around that she had parents. The girl lived in a fantasy world, even went to war in search of romance and adventure. However, behind the motley covers of fantasies, she hid a timid nature, and this belated discovery, unfortunately, failed her in battle.
Media example: In the newspapers you can often read stories of children whose fathers were “pilots”, “astronauts” ... In fact, these boys and girls simply remained without relatives, but developed imagination protected their young minds from the monstrous truth. Those people who raised them invented these stories so that the child does not feel superfluous in the world.
Example from personal life: When I was little, my friend Seryozha talked about his grandfather from America and about various toys that he would bring to him. Later I found out that Seryozha did not have grandfathers, like dads, but his mom came up with a story that my friend believed in. With this tale, she tried to save him from the bitter realization of her own uselessness.
