What is the limit of freedom? - Conversation with AI about human values

1 I read the letters of writer Olmas Umarbekov to his daughter. There is a sentence at the end: "Times have changed, values ​​have changed...".

This was thirty years ago. The phrase "values ​​have changed" made me think hard.

Yes, now "Everything has changed. Times are completely different..." We hear such things every day, everywhere.

Of course, from older people, because they can compare yesterday and today. Sometimes it seems that this is not new, but an age-old dispute between fathers and children.

Maybe so. Perhaps the era of other values ​​is really beginning...

We can easily find dozens of scientific and non-scientific, understandable and incomprehensible definitions of the concept of value in books and on the Internet. According to my simple understanding, value is instilled in our minds from childhood saying "this is good, this is right"; What is valuable and honorable for us are events, norms, and rules.

Family, contentment, honest work, shame and honor, humility, kindness, conscience, mutual help, kindness, respect for elders... these are the values ​​that are honorable for us.

So how does the world understand them today? 2 Whether the way of life is always like this or the world has developed extremely rapidly and moved ahead of us, it seems that the values ​​have changed a lot.

While thinking about these things, I brought artificial intelligence into the conversation. He crossed the borders of the Internet in a second, spoke witty words and gave advice, albeit coldly.

Yes, the answers were reasonable, but sloppy, as if he did not feel our destiny as human beings. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but the gradual change of ancient values ​​seemed to pave the way for tragedies that would eventually kill the human child.

Yes, in fact, it was not sudden spiritual changes, but their process and consequences that made me think. Come on, my invisible interlocutor "wrote" I will briefly tell some places from the article and my imaginary answer to it, my attitude.

AI (Artificial Intelligence): – Our national codes of reason and conscience are weakening under the guise of global “freedom”. It used to be an unwritten law not to cross in front of adults or interrupt them.

Today it is called "restriction of personal freedom" there are more people who believe that. Of course, free thinking and knowing one's rights are not bad, but if these values ​​are cut off from the spiritual roots, doesn't the society turn into a "dry tree"?

Me: - Oh, you mean personal freedom, knowing one's rights? High-level concepts!

"If these values ​​are cut off from their spiritual roots, won't society turn into a "dry tree"?" you said smoothly. But today, they are becoming a weapon to disguise evil deeds, even evil intruders, my smart friend.

Alarming threats to values ​​and to the person himself are often "rights", "personal freedom" in my opinion, it is happening with his claim. A thinking person knows that freedom is relative.

But what you said is still true. Today, it is freedom to do whatever you want, and the depravity of the people of Lut.

Those who are wasting the time of the responsible people by holding up letters of incitement, and those who throw their children to death to take revenge on their spouses, claim their rights. True, man was created to be free.

Human rights are numerous. But the limits of freedom are as far as God has determined.

Today, those boundaries are arbitrarily violated, and the human child can expand them to their own desires. As the great writer Faulkner said, "Some people think they know the works of God better than God himself." AI: There are some aspects that cause the most concern today absolute values ​​are becoming relative.

The sanctity of the family: In many societies, the institution of the family is in crisis. Marriage is increasingly seen as a temporary arrangement rather than a responsibility.

Me: - You know, family is for us the most ancient sacred concept left from Adam and Eve, which ensures the continuity of human life. The birth of the human child is the first society on earth.

In today's world, thankfully, we Uzbeks are among those who have preserved family values ​​the most. Our family is not a "temporary arrangement" for now.

But we cannot deny that the rulings have increased. Our grandmothers used to say that "if one family is broken, the throne will shake"; if only the sky didn't fall on us during this departure...

If only that was the case! What about worldwide surrogacy, official recognition of same-sex families, and even adoption?

You know these things. A tragedy, a real tragedy!

Aren't these things also the result of a sudden change in the attitude towards the value of family, the demand for personal freedom? Is there any guarantee that this spider web will not slowly take over the whole world?

AI: – In the past, the value of a person was measured by how much he needed others, how much he sacrificed for his neighborhood and loved ones. Today, the criteria have changed.

Now the concept of "success" seems to be replaced by material wealth, personal comfort and popularity in the virtual world, rather than spiritual advancement. Me: – Yes, as the poet said, "Now the value of a person is not the same as before." The concept of success has completely changed its meaning.

From those who never stop traveling, to those who have written or published a book, to those who somehow got through the election, today they feel that they are on the podium of success, and others think so too. Nowadays, it is not necessary to achieve popularity with knowledge, work, talent, etc.

He managed to increase the number of his "subs" in "Instagram" by spying on the family or turning foreign eyes on the bedroom, or by making himself a psychologist or beautician. The rest admire and imitate them, just as European youth once dreamed of becoming Napoleon.

Because of this, sometimes families are torn apart... We are sick of stardom, crazy!

We brought everything to the market! At one time, the honest concept of "There is a blessing in the market" seems to be replaced by the flawed concept of "The market is the house of the devil".

If you talk about satisfaction, this is the sacred value of mankind from the beginning. As for us, we forgot about satisfaction.

We have become insatiably greedy for success, fame, power, wealth, comfort, satiety, likes... Today, one out of every two slogans encourages us not to stop, to move forward; "You can do anything," he tickles.

Today's intensity is such that "Hail to your lust!" de", "Accustomed to contentment" it's like we are behind the times. There is nothing wrong with becoming an envious person in the eyes of others, an enemy of human perfection and development.

Oh, the tragedies of dissatisfaction... How wide their scale and scope!

The wars that flared up again in the 21st century, the claims of occupying other people's lands, the temptation of power, the claim to control the world... do they not come from forgetting the science of satisfaction?

In that letter to his daughter, Olmas Umarbekov says that values ​​have changed, and then he says, "Honest work, purity, and humanity have always been valued." Oh, simple-minded, optimistic writer! Here's what a wise man tells me about it: "Honesty and hard work; the desire to get rich quickly and easily makes virtues like honest work and patience look like old fashioned things"...

Olamshumul Stefan sveig has a short story called "Amok". I was interested in this word after reading the story.

Amok means a disease with a disorder of consciousness. The patient has a sudden attack of aggression, and he runs away trying to destroy everything around him, the person he meets.

The attack continues until the patient stops or falls unconscious. Today, the most cherished values ​​of humanity seem to be under attack by mentally ill people.

Let's try and stop it... Yes, values ​​seem to have changed all over the world.

In thousands of ways, in thousands of examples. It is impossible to count them one by one.

3 They instilled in our minds mutual help and doing good to people as a beautiful value. Thinking about this, I remembered what a foreign journalist wrote on the social network.

He narrates such a story: a stranger in a small town asks a girl he met on the road to show him a destination. The girl willingly agrees.

But this was a pretext invented to cover up the ulterior motive. A man rapes and humiliates a girl...

and kills and leaves in a deserted place. The act of a creature in human form has a strong echo in the society, the criminal will be punished, of course.

This is not the only thing I want to say, there is another part of this story that shocks a person; in adversity, a helpless mother says: "Our parents taught us to 't spare your help from people.'" No! Now let's teach our children not to do good to people, not to help them!" This sentence shook my heart.

"Really?" I thought. Did mankind come to such a conclusion?

Is this the last resort? It is also necessary to understand the painful words of the victim's mother...

Sometimes this is the only way to protect our children from evil. A bitter question stuck in my throat: where are the values ​​we cherish, the so-called conscience, compassion, morality, and humanity?

Today, we are forced not to do good not only to protect our children, but also ourselves. Let's say you can't pick up someone's luggage at the airport or train station for impartial service; "Anoyi's Jaydari Apple" If you have read the story (Erkin A'zam), you understand what it is about.

It is also possible to become an accomplice in crime by returning the money to the card to the owner. If a stranger you meet on the street asks you to call someone, not calling today is not dishonesty, but protection.

Posting something meaningful to others from social networks can also become a headache - it turns out that there is a forbidden link under it. You are even afraid of love today.

Don't talk, don't help, don't do good, don't love... Human values ​​are instilled in our minds, they automatically start at the right moment; but now they say "stop!" shall we say Is this a vigilance?

It is as if the salty human being is helpless in the face of a terrible paradox. If you want to do something good, do it only for yourself!

However, there is no better way for a person than goodness. What should people with pure hearts, pure intentions, and good-hearted people do?

4 I returned to AI again. When I asked him the reasons for being "unlike the previous ones", he gave a number of examples: technological "explosions", the Internet, the change of superiority (transition from "preserving life" to "expressing one's identity"), urbanization, economic independence (especially women), digital revolution, increasing critical thinking...

In conclusion, he said, "The root of today's tragedies is the disconnection of a person from his inner world." I had to confess: We, the people, are the cause of everything. But I wanted to argue with artificial intelligence again.

I thought to myself that neither time nor people have changed. Hazrat Behbudi also said that "with the passage of time, some images and customs are constantly changing, and this change has been happening since the time of our grandfather Hazrat Adam." yes die changes, deviations, tragedies, searching for a way, losses, finds...

not only today. They have been companions of mankind since the beginning.

Even in ancient times, those who ordered the execution of the peerless philosopher Socrates acted in the name of justice. Archaeologists have found a 2,400-year-old warrior's arrow; it is known that it is made of human skin.

They sold Jesus (a.s.) for thirty rupees. Mahmud Yalavoch opened the gates to the world...

A man named Ibn Marzuba, who lived and created at the end of the 3rd century of Hijri, named his book "The advantage of dogs over most of those who wear clothes". He said, "I dedicate this book to the innocent children who do good to their friends, do bad things to their fathers, smile at their wives, and bake pumpkins for their mothers.

I dedicate money to my friends and unscrupulous children who hid money from their parents. To the unfaithful who lost a husband believing that he would play, to every tyrant who betrayed the deposit, to the swindlers who lied to those who gave birth to them by concealing a will...

To the ungrateful who return good with evil... To the scoundrels who avoided the halal wealth and rushed to the haraam, to the open blind who put the world before the hereafter, whose hearts and ears are sealed, and whose eyes are covered with veils...

To all the conspirators, destroyers, and evil workers who were hired to serve Satan, who were driven out by the mercy of God... I dedicate it to instigators, slanderers, slanderers, who do not see their own heaps of guilt and see the small mistakes of others as a big fault...

To the faceless, impudent, hypocrites... And again to the harsh, merciless, tyrants who wreak havoc on the earth, disturb people's peace, wear clothes and head, and do worse than animals..." (Calling bird / https://islom.uz/maqola/2667) So, these flaws are not new...

Look, even though people have been warned regularly for centuries, they are still misled and come up with new ways of betraying the truth. The devaluation of values ​​was manifested in different forms depending on the level of development.

Let me give you an example. AI told me “ The fact that people look at each other face to face and communicate with others through smartphones is one of the biggest social tragedies of today.

Then I remembered what I read on the channel "Jutkie fakty": this situation, that is, the habit of looking at the smartphone during communication, is called "fabbing". phone and "snubbing" means unflattering attitude.

In fact, in the enterprise of the past, forces opposite to human nature have been created: good and evil, constructive and destructive... Which of them we cultivate and which we defeat - it is up to us to decide.

That is, choose guidance if you want, misguidance if you want. The people were destroyed when they chose error en masse, new prophets were sent...

At the end of my likes and dislikes, confused opinions, one question stubbornly stands in front of me: "What should be done?". I wanted to say something.

But I thought that all intellectuals, scientists, poets and writers, teachers... who are representatives of the field of spirituality should answer this question, summarize what they said and mobilize the whole nation, even the whole humanity.

Man is the main executor of both good and bad, changes and corrections, losses and gains on earth. We have to start everything from people, from ourselves.

5 By the way, as I said at the beginning of these articles, artificial intelligence has written a happy article. "Would you like me to adapt and retitle this article for a social media or publication?" he said kindly again.

I could write a pen on Aqlvay's writings. If I did that at a time when values ​​are changing, maybe it wouldn't even be considered a fault.

The article would pass, but the value of conscience would not pass the test. Nodira OFOQ "Spiritual Life" magazine, issue 1, 2026.
