Versions of origin

First version. This saying completely sounded like "My hut is on the edge, I don't know anything." Once upon a time, the wealthiest and most conscious citizens settled in the center of the village, and everyone else built their houses around them. At that time, all the main events took place in the central part, where there was a well, and there was a small square. However, those who lived on the outskirts, learned about all the news one of the last, that is, being on the outskirts, they know little about what is happening.

Second version. Initially, this phraseological unit meant the exact opposite of what we considered in the first version. In the distant times of the formation of Russia as a state, life was hectic, and it was safest in the center of a town or village. Therefore, the most courageous settled precisely on the edge in order to take the blow of bad people if they wanted to attack the settlement.
In that distant era, houses were lined up in one chain near the well-trodden tract. Various people walked along this road, including robbers. It was easier and more imperceptible for evil people to get close to the outermost house in order to rob it and take with them everyone who could be in it.

Usually, when the village gathered veche, then it began to discuss important matters relating to all residents. The owner of the house located at the edge of the meeting, who was present at the meeting, listened for a while to what the chairman was talking about, and then with the words " My hut is on the edge, then you will retell what you decided He quickly left. Usually this meant that his task was to protect the village, and therefore he could not leave his house, even for the sake of very important and urgent matters.

By reading this article, you have learned My hut is on the edge

Previously, the saying “My hut is on the edge, I don’t know anything” was extremely condemning. She talked about an antisocial personality, ridiculing her. This phrase was attributed to a person who took the position "it's none of my business, it does not concern me." Dictionaries interpret the meaning of the proverb: it’s not my business to get out, my business is small, my hut is on the edge, step back, my business is side. Such a position was not accepted by society, therefore it was ridiculed in a saying. However, times are changing, and the personal space of a person has expanded so much that the position of isolation of one person from the problems of other personalities has reached such proportions that pretending that nothing in this world concerns you has now become a very popular position. I cannot agree with this state of affairs.

Civic, social, public and other activities are our duty. Here it is worth bringing the most interesting historical fact: originally in Russia, where this proverb was born, a hut on the edge, in direct meaning of this word, was occupied by the strongest and most courageous inhabitant of the village. Because it was the weak point from which the enemy could penetrate the settlement. Therefore, when they chose where to settle, the last dwelling went to the most heroic personality. However, this fact did not give rise to the saying, unfortunately.

In life, it is better to take an extreme position because it is the most dangerous than because from there it is worse to hear what is happening with other people, and therefore you can pretend that you simply did not know that someone was in trouble and someone was calling for help. Because if your hut is on the edge, then when you yourself need the participation of others in your life, then they may not hear you either.

Therefore, it can be argued that a separate position only at first glance seems strong and safe. The extreme hut is still the most convenient for attack, and the isolated individual is still the weakest. The advantage of her position is valid only as long as they are not attacking her and at a distance from her - there is a chance to join the winners and convince them of their usefulness. Shameful and cowardly, but sometimes a saving position. I'm sure it's very unpleasant to live as a coward.

Is it about huts and villages now? Of course not. This is an analogy for our life with you and what place we choose for ourselves in it. A small example: when we pass by garbage lying on the road, we are the same resident of the hut on the edge. After all, we pretend that he did not notice. Or that it's none of our business to raise it. Or what... anyway, we act like it's none of our business. Because even if we believe that it is not our task to raise it, being socially active and socially useful individuals, we must make efforts to ensure that the one who is obliged to raise it does this, and the one who should not throw it does not threw. That is, you need to behave in such a way that it changes, one way or another, but your street is clean. It's the same with a poor, needy, elderly person. It is the same with a bribe taker official, a thief leader, a desperate sinner neighbor, and so on.

You need to make efforts, invest yourself in this world, and then the world will respond to you with changes. “We shouldn’t bend under the changing world, let it bend under us,” is the motto of strong people who are able to make positive changes in the life around them. Well, unfortunately, not only positive ones, but all the more so it is necessary to understand that destructive enemies do not lead a passive lifestyle and do not take a cowardly position. They go and take this world while we pretend it doesn't concern us. We are not concerned with a drug addict from our yard, we are not concerned with a pedophile who lives in a neighboring entrance, we are not concerned with a teacher who teaches children sexual promiscuity ... It does not concern us, as long as we are not talking about our children.

But when we have children or our children have children, then it will be too late. Look at the countries where it's already late! There were also people living there who didn't care. It seemed to them that pedophilia, alcoholism, drug addiction, sexual perversions would never enter their clean, comfortable and morally healthy homes. Their hut was on the edge ... Now they are trying to protest, but it's too late. I hope that if they change and do not give up their positions, their world will again become morally and morally pure. But they have been weak for too long.

Countries dominated by "inhabitants of the outskirts" are simply destroyed, conquered, enslaved. Because there are no heroes, and if there are, then no one supports them. Why were heroes needed, and why did having a hero decide the outcome of a battle? Because he alone could defeat everyone? No, because his courage, determination, courage infected others, giving them a powerful incentive to surpass themselves. But people who profess the principle “I don’t see anything, I don’t hear anything, I’m generally busy” cannot be charged, they don’t want to, they turn their backs on both the fight and the hero, only so that they don’t have to change anything in themselves. Until it's too late.

Here it is appropriate to recall one parable.

One day the mouse noticed that the owner of the farm had set a mousetrap. She told the chicken, the sheep and the cow about it. But they all answered: “The mousetrap is your problem, it has nothing to do with us!”

A little later, a snake fell into the mousetrap and bit the farmer's wife. In an attempt to cure her, they prepared chicken soup for his wife. Then they slaughtered a sheep to feed everyone who came to visit the sick woman. And, finally, they slaughtered a cow to adequately feed the guests at the funeral.

And all this time, the mouse watched what was happening through a hole in the wall and thought about things that “have nothing to do with anyone”!

The moral is simple: if something doesn't directly affect you, don't think it won't hit you in the head.

Hut on the edge not only ends up being a weak position. She is shameful and unworthy, and she did not stick to a believing person.
