In the new year, please be patient with this crippled world.

In the new year, please be patient with this crippled world.

When we come to the door of this New Year, we always have a feeling of "sit down, think about it." Think about the past year, "Why are you starting to go where?" Think about the next year, "Where are the people who love each other, who are the people who are traveling?" Thousands of things:

Yes, when I think of the rich experience of this year, I will laugh smugly. Even if I walk in the neighborhood where people come and go, I can’t control it. When I return home, I will remember something happy. The ground was squatting in bed, and I couldn’t sleep.

Yes, although the body is still walking awkwardly, but the mind is already dancing; their life has gradually become a good place to do, just to wait for the flowers to bloom.

Some, I am afraid that at the door, like a wandering soul standing on the bank of the Styx, waiting for the ferry to pick up.

......

I have to ask, who has been better in this year, who is in control of his own destiny? Judging from the attitude alone, I really can’t dare to speak; if I want to express it in the spirit of this era, I will be like this. Speaking: No one, no theory can prove what I am going to announce to you. Proof is superfluous to us because we have no choice, we have to do it.

The fate of everyone is almost the same

Mr. Shi Yong once mentioned a philosopher's thought experiment. He asked us to imagine an "innocent threater" like this: If a person P grabs a third party Q throws at you. Now suppose this is the case: Q is innocent, but after he has found you, he can still survive, and you are sure to die, then, can you use his gun to get him before he picks you up? shoot down?

From an intuitive point of view, we seem to be able to do so. We have a responsibility to protect our lives, and in that case, shooting down Q is the only means of defense. But it seems that it is not so straightforward, we will feel some regrets, and definitely owe what Q. The reason is: We shot down Q, not the one who attacked us as a weapon of destruction.

But isn't Q a little responsible for this? It doesn't seem to be. His responsibilities are probably twofold: one is that he was shot as a gun; the other is that he did not make the utmost effort to get rid of the fate of being shot. Thought experiments are often cruel. However, the Q in this thought experiment is somewhat similar to the fate of the people. This is a fate that is controlled, plundered, and even beaten and killed.

Everyone admits that such a fate is not what the people deserve. We point our responsibilities to power, but who can say that the people have no responsibility for their own destiny? In peacetime, have they shouted for their rights and their dignity? Are they concerned about the rights of others and their solidarity? Is such a fate, logically, not a result of the usual "silence"?

As citizens, the fate of everyone is almost the same. That is to say, whether A is hawked as a hawker, or a child of a family is sexually assaulted in school, or a family is demolished and sleeps on the streets, these are not just individual encounters, but they are manifested in an accidental way. The general fate of everyone.

The way out for fate is to find your own foundation.

Psychologists often say that the fate of everyone is shaped by thought. As Emerson said: "A person is what he thinks all day... How can he be different?" It seems that the problem we are facing now is how to choose the right thinking, it seems to do this. , you can solve all the problems. Someone will ask at this time, what kind of thinking is the correct thinking? Most of the people who ask this question are those who want to live according to the example. Imagine if we live according to the example, we live the example of life; if we do not live our lives, who should live our lives?

My opinion is that there is no right or wrong thinking. Thoughts are only yours and not yours.

So how do you judge whether an idea is your own? Although giving instructions, persuading improvement, and assisting has become a false start, I can try to give a standard of judgment here: the role of thought, but Leading you from one place to another; in my opinion, only the thought that leads you from your place to your place is your thought.

There is a premise to apply this criterion, that is, know where you are from, and know where you are going. This involves the foundation of a person's body. "You are a man with a big foundation, just because you are eager for lust, buried your wisdom, and gave birth to endless obstacles." Look, it is time to take the owner's eyes and seek your own roots in the universe.

Selfishness is the answer to all questions

Work, career; love, marriage, family; hobbies, religious beliefs... The value of everything that exists is to make one's life better. If any of them can't benefit a happy life, or cause trouble or even hurt life, then you need to make changes, or even give up. At this point, I can't help but throw two conclusions: "Love yourself" is the foundation of a person's body; the standard of testing whether you love yourself is whether you can make your life better.

Some people may have doubts. Isn't "self-love" in this place "selfish"? If you talk about "selfishness", you can not be envious of contempt, meager, disdainful emotions, I agree with you.

In fact, in our efforts to take care of ourselves, we will nourish many lives and help many people. This is like the process of capital flow, which also provides many people with job opportunities to support their families. Apply Adam Smith's words: Everyone works hard to take care of themselves and maximize their output. He did this not for the public good, nor did he know how much public interest he had created. He only pursues his own stability and pursues his own self-interest. He was guided by an invisible hand, unintentionally promoting the public interest. In the process of pursuing his own self-interest, the increase in public interest caused by his unintentional increase is far greater than the increase caused when he intends to promote the public interest. This is more abundant than what love shows, and more fundamental than everyone's evaluation of love.

Selfishness is the compass that guides you through the journey of life safely, eliminates all doubts in your life and finds the right path. This is also the road to mutual love. Humans will see and feel the similarities and commonalities of their roads.

Feeding the soul is the wise man

Then why is it that some people show up in the process of taking care of themselves, but it is so unpleasant? That is because his soul is too poor.

For many people today, the soul is a very strange word. It seems to have been hidden in the yellow book. It is rare to think about the situation of his soul. So in the fiery business world, we become Indifference, hostility, viciousness. What is even more tragic is that some people have given the cognac soul to the unrelenting materialistic eroticism and created the misfortune of the pile.

"Only by the pursuit of foreign objects can we reach the soul." Jung said, if you can't find the soul, the soul will not be fed, you will fall into the emptiness of fear, and this fear will wave the long whip and drive you Despair blindly pursues empty worlds. Even if you chase everything, you can't find your soul because you can open them, because he can only find it from himself.

Feeding the soul is the wise man, otherwise it is to be stored as a devil living in our hearts.

Written in the back

Writing this, I feel that I miss the masters I am familiar with. They are: Freud, Jung, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Shakespeare, Lin Yutang... Finally, using Jung’s sentence to conclude this New Year’s greeting "The gods have one eye, one ear, and one disorder. You have to be patient with this crippled world, and don't overestimate your perfection."
