This book was recommended to me by my boss. When he put it on my desk, he said, this book is suitable for you. I accepted the book with a confused look on my face, and then during the National Day holiday, I read the paper book once and then read it here again. Try to share some of your own gains.
The book is very short and easy to read, and you can finish it in a short time. This book reminds me of "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. What they all have in common is that they can be interesting fairy tales for children, or life stories that make adults think deeply. Of course, "Knight in Armor" is smaller and more exquisite, but there are more things that extend from reading.
The knight in armor is obsessed with the struggle for fame and fortune, and finally can no longer take off his heavy armor in the eyes of the world and his own stubbornness. The armor once protected him from being killed by the evil dragon. The armor was a safe haven for him to survive. However, now the armor was about to cost him everything. Fortunately, the knight realized it in time, and finally found his true self with the help of the wise wizard Merlin and his cute friends, and the story ended perfectly. When I saw the ending, the knight stood on the pinnacle of truth and merged with heaven and earth. I felt a bit like the Taoism in the Tao Te Ching, where nature and man are one, a bit like Zen.
The knight spends all his time fighting and maintaining his image, ignoring his wife’s complaints and not caring about it. It wasn’t until the conflict intensified that his wife asked him to choose between armor and family affection. , this armor can no longer be taken off. Isn’t this just us who have become numb in the grind of life? We use busy work and difficult life as excuses to put on a thick layer of protection for ourselves to make ourselves look invulnerable. At first we were complacent, but later we suffered from it, but we didn’t know how to get rid of it. Eventually becoming irritable. Just like how the knight jumped up in anger at anyone's words at first. We can no longer hear other people’s voices, we can no longer feel love.
"Maybe the problem is with you. You always regard the truth that others tell you as an insult to you." This was the first sentence that touched me. I used to be irritable because of what others said. If I don't agree with my words, my heart will be filled with panic. I have also been upset by someone else's words. Now I understand that this anger comes from not understanding yourself. When you understand what kind of person you are, you will not get angry easily. Just like, you won't change your appearance instantly just because someone says you are beautiful or ugly, you are still you. If what others say is the truth, then change or accept it; if what others say is not the truth, then explain or remain silent. You no longer need to be angry because there is no need.
"A person cannot be busy running around and studying at the same time. This person must stop running, stay in one place, and take some time to calm down." The faster a person runs, the more he needs to stop Think and learn. The more things you are exposed to, the more you need to be alone. Only when you are alone can you know what you want. Running without direction will only speed up your rush to the cliff.
"'You're scared,' Master Merlin said, 'Yes, that's why you put on armor in the first place.'" Fear makes people learn to protect themselves, and fear also makes people close themselves off. "You don't understand because you are trying to use your mind to understand and understand what I am saying, but unfortunately your understanding is limited." Your cognition allows you to understand the world, and your cognition also prevents you from understanding the world. .
"How can you take care of them both if you can't take care of yourself now?" How can you love others if you can't love yourself? This word is ambiguous if understood literally. A person who doesn't love himself can certainly love others, but he may not know what kind of love the other person needs because he doesn't know what he needs. Needs must start from oneself before they can be extended to others. If love is a gift, then as a gift, the other person must be willing to accept it. Otherwise, the gift may turn into a burden.
"He (the knight) tried hard not to let his tears flow, because a knight in armor must not cry.
However, under the weight of pain, his tears soon burst. "Because of something, it's absolutely nothing. This is almost a template for all self-imposed limitations. There are no absolutes. There are infinite possibilities in life (of course I don't mean to make you commit a crime), try it boldly. Of course boys can cry generously, and women can cry openly." Children can also choose what they want to do.
There are too many golden sentences that can be expanded upon. I will leave it to you to read by yourself. Later I want to focus on the three castles and the proposition of the top of truth. It’s too big, so I won’t elaborate on it.
The Castle of Silence
In my current understanding, loneliness and isolation are obstacles to most people’s enjoyment of excitement when they are young. I need company even to go to the bathroom, and it is difficult to even eat without company. Because I matured earlier, I tasted loneliness early. In my current life, loneliness has become a good teacher and friend, making me more and more mature. The clearer you know what you really want. Loneliness is an issue that cannot be escaped in life. You may not be able to completely escape loneliness for a while when you are in a sea of ??people. Failure to learn to get along with loneliness is the end of everything and wrong love. At the beginning, you will grab something in fear of sinking, and these things may be the beginning of another pain. Loneliness is unbearable, like the bites of thousands of insects; loneliness is thick and protects you from being invaded; loneliness is vast, encompassing the world. ; Loneliness is small, and you are the only one left. Loneliness is dark, and there is darkness everywhere you look; loneliness is gorgeous, and there is everything in the depths... Loneliness is the embodiment of every trough, and it is the only way to break through the bottleneck. The knight is in this quiet place. The king was met in the castle, and he said that he had been here several times, and that solitude was never just once, and that it was as unbearable as new every time. Only when you are alone for long enough can you put down all your worries and face your true self, understand yourself, and listen to yourself. Only those who can listen to themselves can hear the voices of others.
Castle of Knowledge
This is the most majestic of the three fortresses, because knowledge is worthy of admiration. The universe is chaotic and dark, and knowledge is the light that guides you out. This sentence has been recited since elementary school and hung in the stairwell. Famous quotes. Knowledge makes people know themselves, and self-knowledge is the most rare talent. Knowing oneself allows one to know how to move forward, know when to charge bravely, and when to make detours. Knowledge is always in your hands when fighting.
Zhiyong's Castle.
Zhiyong's Castle is the tallest and thickest walled fortress, and it houses the great evil dragon named Fear and Doubt. The great evil dragon is far more terrifying than the knight realizes. It turns the knight into a coward. In the end, he actually defeats the great evil dragon. But if the evil dragon sets the flag, it will come back. Fear and doubt must be there all the time. We will fight with those who meet us for life. But the fear must be greater than the difficulty itself. When you see the darkness from a distance, you will be afraid and unable to move forward, because this fear will always be there. Follow you until you are in the dark.
So, when you are at a low point in life, the first thing you have to do is to calm down, be alone with yourself, and figure out your true inner needs. and feelings; then learn, let knowledge expand your horizons, and no longer be trapped in your own cognition; finally, overcome fear and face challenges head-on. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you will be completely new. Then I want to say that this book is not only suitable for me, but for everyone... and Jun * Mian.
