“Go your own way and let others say it” is a famous saying of Dante, the famous Italian poet during the Renaissance. This sentence expresses Dante’s courage to break through the shackles of medieval theocracy and pursue the truth. , fearless determination and perseverance. This sentence was later quoted by many people and even became his own motto. People often use this sentence to motivate themselves or encourage others. They must have their own opinions when doing things. You cannot just follow what others say. Everything others say is right. You always think you are wrong. You must be decisive in doing things. You cannot Always think about what others will think before doing something, and ask others to evaluate what you have done. There is nothing wrong with this. The problem is that this sentence has been overused. It is obviously inappropriate to use this sentence in any situation and with any object. Because this sentence obviously does not apply to everyone and everything.
I think this sentence is only applicable under three conditions: specific people, things and circumstances. Specific people – not just people in general. It is a person who has the courage, perseverance and ability to fight for his ideals and beliefs; specific things - not ordinary things. It is in line with the development laws of objective things and has an impact on the surrounding people, that is, it is not only "good for oneself", but also "loving the world"; a specific environment is not conducive to the development of things in the right direction, and is full of thorns and resistance. The truth is only in the hands of a few people, in a closed and gloomy environment.
Nowadays, many people use this sentence to comfort themselves and comfort others' reprehensible hearts when they do something wrong, or it can also be used as a reason to let themselves go. Especially online, you can see posts like this everywhere. "Go your own way and let others tell you" seems to have become a fashionable saying.
Under the banner of "Go your own way and let others have their say", scoundrels and scoundrels have become individualistic, blind and reckless behavior has become persistence, going against common sense has become showing off, and breaking laws and disciplines has become exploration. With the support of this sentence, Huang Jianxiang shouted "Long Live Italy" with great excitement; Li Yong's reaction to the "venomous snake" was dismissive; female college students were kept by wealthy people; corrupt officials stood up to the wind one after another; curses, Wang Shuo, who exposes shortcomings, has become a treasure admired by the media; artists who lack social ethics are constantly "wearing the red"; there are also "alternative literati" who create one spiritual garbage after another, as well as those who dare to "give up their whole body" and don't care about anything. Internet celebrities one after another who amaze people every day...
If a person is talked about by others, then there must be a reason for him to be talked about. When being criticized, I still don’t know my fault, but if I keep walking, I will only become more and more distant from the crowd. I am really only walking alone, and it is difficult to walk with others. So before taking your own path, you must first think about it, is this path right or wrong? The path you are taking is simply a path that does not work, or a path that goes astray. Why don't you listen to other people's advice? Don't let anyone tell you? As the saying goes: You listen to others' advice and eat enough, but you don't listen to others' advice or advice, and your road goes to the dark side. You still call it "go your own way and let others say it". Isn't it sad?
From ancient times to the present, there are many examples to prove this sadness: Ma Su was beheaded for not listening to advice and losing his street pavilion; Xiang Yu committed suicide because of his stubbornness and insisted on going his own way; a closed-door Qing Dynasty let China People lost face; the line based on class struggle almost ruined the bright future of socialist construction.
Today’s world is called a “global village”. We are part of an open society. An open person should have an open mind and an open mind. Especially today, when cooperation and good interpersonal relationships are emphasized, young friends must not always say the phrase "go your own way and let others decide." Because this sentence can be seen as your contempt for improving interpersonal relationships, or as an excuse for you to avoid people and be unable to improve interpersonal relationships. You should really forget this sentence. In real life, always review your words and deeds to see if they make others annoying, hurt or hinder others. You will work hard to make yourself a popular person.
Let us be more modest and less arrogant; be more sincere and less stubborn; have more courage to change and be less useless vanity. Then the balance of life will tilt towards us and success will wave to you.
