Chapter 1: Noisy and Quiet Since ancient times, noisy and quiet have been placed in opposite positions, and discussions among scholars inevitably lead to modern people's thinking about noisy and quiet. I think the two should not be contradictory, but can coexist.
Noisy has become the normal state of people's social life, which is not entirely a bad thing. Because people do things differently, there is noise; There is noise because of the generation and collision of people's thoughts. Because of noise, people have the opportunity to develop their own more perfect personality. Nowadays, there is never a shortage of sharp-edged commentators. Their views on the same thing can be completely different, which leads to public discussion and thinking. In this process, everyone's ideological system has been rebuilt, thus building a stronger ideological system. In a quiet state, a person can think freely but it is difficult to get the collision of sparks of thought, which can only be obtained from the noise. With the noisy lifestyle, people have close communication and promoted people's self-renewal.
However, the noise beyond the load can only bring people impetuous, and everyone should have their own quiet corner in the noisy life. Amid the noise of people, Sun Yang, who won the Olympic gold medal, galloped on the road because of his impatience, while Kai Ko, who just debuted and was highly praised, made the worst demonstration. If we immerse ourselves in noise all day, we will have irreparable consequences. Knowing this truth, Tao Yuanming, who was tired of officialdom, lived in seclusion in the mountains like all hermits. "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely". A special coffee shop in Germany named "Slow Time" will also provide free refreshments for guests, only charging for the time they stay in the store, aiming to provide a quiet corner for guests. He is favored because he is far away from the hustle and bustle of busy cities and attracts local and foreign tourists. All of us need to know the true meaning of life in silence.
Noisy is the love of life after tasting silence, and silence is the liberation of life after quarreling. Mo Yan, the first China writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, said that he was very excited after learning the news of winning the prize, which was really a special honor for China people. With the continuous influx of interviews, the name "Mo Yan" has spread more widely in China and even abroad. However, Mo Yan also said that what he hopes most is that he can live his old life after winning the prize. Life used to be quiet and undisturbed. A life that is both noisy and quiet is a complete life.
Noisy makes people love life, quiet makes people feel the uniqueness and freedom of life, and noisy and quiet life teaches us to live rationally and happily.
Chapter 2: Seeking tranquility in the noise Some people are unknown all their lives and interpret the greatness of life in selfless dedication, while others go their own way and pursue impetuousness and vanity, ending their lives.
There is a kind of impetuousness in society now, which is called "can't wait". Influenced by the "can't wait" mentality, some people can't calm down, some people have no patience, it is difficult to persevere, and it is even more difficult to do everything best and to the extreme. In the past, we always used the phrase "soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers" to encourage people to have ideals and fighting spirit and not to be confused. At the same time, we also use this sentence to criticize those who are "kind and honest" and keep their position. However, in this impetuous society, we have plenty of soldiers who want to be generals, but we are short of soldiers who don't want to be generals. Think about it, don't those officials who disregard the lives of the people for political achievements just want to be generals? Don't those scholars and technicians who plagiarize their papers and lie about their scientific research achievements just want to be generals? Why is the present society so noisy and impetuous? It is because too many soldiers are quite generals that people strive to be generals instead of soldiers. Can such a society not be noisy? Can you not be impetuous? As Liang Wendao, a Hong Kong matchmaker, said, "Impetuousness is a collective disease of this era." When a little taste becomes a mindset, quick success and instant benefit becomes a cultural scene, and superficial noise becomes a favorite behavior, it is bound to be difficult to date your heart.
But there are still people who choose to be quiet, abandon impetuousness and try their best to pursue the peace of all sentient beings. The four-year term is coming to an end, and Washington intends to retire quickly. Clinker voters refused, and he was unanimously elected as the second president. In view of Washington's great achievements and high prestige, the world thought that he would be re-elected for life. But Washington chose to take the initiative to step down, give way to Adams, easily return to the manor and live a quiet and beautiful manor life.
"If you are not indifferent, you will have no ambition. If you are not quiet, you will be far away." This famous saying is intended to tell the world that only by getting rid of impetuousness and having a good attitude of indifference and tranquility can we go further and more steadily. Ding Zhaozhong, the Nobel Prize winner, once said to his classmates when he gave a scientific report at Shandong University, "I only concentrate on one thing. No classes, no entertainment, no meetings. " Obviously, this lifestyle made Professor Ding stay away from the worldly noise, abandoned impetuousness, devoted himself to research, and finally achieved great success.
Living in prosperous times, he can keep quiet, so Tao Yuanming, who returned to the countryside, enjoys chrysanthemums leisurely at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Thoreau's Feeling the World, Living Alone by the Lake, and Monroe's Nobel Prize works all seek the true meaning of life in peace in daily life.
