Psychologist Jung said that everyone has two lives, the first one is for others, the second one is for himself, and the second life often begins at the age of forty. ...
In fact, no matter who once said the famous words, they all revealed one thing. As human beings, we must wake up and be ourselves. I'm reading Krishnamurti's Re-Know Yourself recently. There is a saying in the book that we are always satisfied with other people's descriptions, which means that we are actually living in other people's remarks, superficial and empty, so we are only "second-hand" human beings at best.
"Second-hand goods" humans? When I first saw this word describing us, I was a little angry. How can I use it? After reading it with questions, I believe his statement more and more.
It is true that most people are "second-hand" human beings. From birth, the first thing we receive is the so-called parental education. When we entered school, we were exposed to the same education. We are made into the same snacks according to the same pattern, whether this is the original intention of educators or not, it has already formed a fact. So, aren't we used?
When we step into society as adults, society teaches us a lot of truth and life experience. We never explore our hearts. What kind of "me"? Do I know myself or not? We seldom think about such problems, so we don't really have live high. Why not say second-hand? Therefore, "re-understanding yourself" is particularly important!
I haven't read this book in depth, but it deeply attracted me. What kind of person is the author? What will he let us know? Wait and see!
