When I heard Teacher Luo Xiang’s words for the first time, I didn’t feel anything, or in other words, I didn’t understand what he was talking about.

Later, I saw him quoting this sentence in Jiubian's article, but I just felt that this sentence should be very powerful. I really understood the meaning of this sentence recently when I listened to Teacher Luo himself. explanation.

Teacher Luo gave a very vivid example.

You may have heard of the book "Emile", which is a representative work of the famous thinker and educator Jean-Jacques Rousseau. It tells about his educational philosophy. This book is regarded by many as an educational world classic.

In the book, Rousseau imagines himself as an ideal teacher, and Emile as an ideal student. Rousseau uses his interaction with Emile to describe the concept of education by age.

With such a great work, we would take it for granted that in real life, Rousseau's educational achievements for his children must have been fruitful.

But the actual situation is surprising. Rousseau was born with five children. He sent all five children to orphanages on the grounds that he had no time to raise them.

Rousseau wanted to dedicate his time to human children, so he had no time to give to his own children.

What should I say? I don’t know what you think of Rousseau’s statement. Do you think he is great and great enough to be selfless, or do you think he is hypocritical and hypocritical to the point of shamelessness?

In short, Teacher Luo sneered at this kind of behavior, thinking that it was a typical person who fell in love with the abstract imagination in his mind, but turned a blind eye to the real and concrete people around him.

Teacher Luo said that Rousseau wrote a "Confessions" in his later years, but what Teacher Luo saw in it were all his excuses and explanations, without any admission of mistakes or repentance.

Teacher Luo only had two words to comment on this - disgusting.

This reminds me of the episode in Qi Bao Shuo where Li Dan fought to become a god - to save the cat or the painting.

Huang Zhizhong's "Distant Cry" has far-reaching ideas, is impressive and extremely wonderful, but such a wonderful speech can only be regarded as a foreshadowing for Li Dan's work of conferring gods.

Li Dan broke through Huang Zhizhong’s arguments one by one with penetrating insight but without losing humor. The most important one is, of course, the direct refutation of the idea of ??distant cries.

Huang Zhizhong said that we should understand the distant cries, which means that we should be able to understand the sufferings that have not happened around us, the sufferings that should make us sympathize but are ignored.

Li Dan’s retort is that we have created too many great things in our minds, but we often turn a blind eye to the reality around us.

If you even turn a blind eye to the suffering around you, why talk about the suffering in the distance?

It does not mean that Li Dan’s views are right and Huang Zhizhong’s views are wrong. It’s just that Li Dan’s skills in articulating his views, unique sense of humor, and vivid examples are slightly better than Huang Zhizhong’s simple profundity. This is a victory of skill, not of perspective.

However, this issue can at least inspire us that we should like to pursue meaning and value, but we should also pay attention to the real people around us.

Don’t always think about sacrificing this or that in order to achieve the success you imagine in your mind.

Li Dan’s statement coincides with Teacher Luo.

In fact, when we reflect on ourselves, we are indeed prone to making such mistakes.

We advocate that benevolent people love others and respect the elderly and care for the young, but there are still people on the bus who turn a blind eye to the standing elderly.

We advocate freedom and "even if we disagree with you, we must defend your right to speak." However, we often use foul language when we disagree with netizens.

Slogans are very easy to shout, and they make us feel very noble and upright.

However, when it comes to every specific thing and every individual, they immediately become shrewd and philistine, and animal nature defeats human nature.

Love concrete people, not abstract people.

Words of wisdom.
