"We can appreciate all phenomena in real life as if they were pictures and dramas, without making judgments about good or evil, and without any moral love or evil. As Nietzsche advocated, this is an attitude of beauty." In life, we often have large and small frictions with the people around us because we are seeking something, such as fairness, courtesy, respect, or success. From then on, it is very likely that we will be unplugged as in the story. Like nails made of wood, even if a lot of efforts are made to repair the holes, the holes will never return to their original appearance. And if we understand what Mr. Zhu Guangqian said, we regard everything in life, whether happiness or sadness, as a small part of it. When we enjoy happiness, we can also treat sadness in the same way. Tell yourself that this is just a corner of a picture, just a scene in a drama. It has nothing to do with good or evil, good or bad. It is just a pure form of artistic expression.
"From the moral point of view of worldly law, life cannot be perfect. We all have weaknesses, and it is inevitable that each other will make mistakes. This is a common misfortune for mankind." As the saying goes, people are not perfect. No saint can do anything wrong. Since human beings already suffer more than other species, please be more tolerant to the people around you. If human beings have more opportunities to make mistakes and be forgiven, they may not do anything with many distracting thoughts. and worries, you will not feel aggrieved, entangled and depressed all the time.
In terms of self-cultivation and improvement, Mr. Zhu Guangqian mentioned that sports should be regarded as equally important as moral and aesthetic education. "A weak body can affect your temperament and outlook on life." "Many of our Chinese youth are pessimistic and lifeless. I dare say that most of this is the result of unhealthy body. Most of the deficiencies in moral character can also be attributed to physical weakness. Weak. "Paying attention to physical exercise and having a healthy body is beneficial to our development in all aspects. It allows us to improve work efficiency through a combination of work and rest, relieves our fatigue after work, and allows us to have a free and flexible high-efficiency working mode; it allows us to have a peaceful and optimistic attitude towards the world we live in. , able to remain calm and rational. Paying attention to sports is not to allow humans to compete with tigers and wolves in this regard, but to enable humans to get rid of the control of laziness through physical exercise and have more energy to improve intellectual education and aesthetic education. progress, thereby becoming a person who is energetic every day and has comprehensive development of morality, intelligence and body.
"It is a waste to strive for fame without fame, to be distracted by other things, and not to be dedicated. Once you have gained fame, society regards it as omnipotent, disturbing everything, and making people happy. Chaos is a greater waste. "When we devote ourselves to learning, we often gradually ignore the knowledge itself because of the pursuit of results and fame, and become too keen on catering to its outlet and market, thus forgetting why we set out. , forget to explore the deepest meaning of knowledge, and even become impatient and depressed because they are too eager for quick success and instant benefit. Over time, learning is no longer guided by interest but by fame and fortune. This prevents people from improving their intellectual accomplishments by devoting themselves to learning, and they also fail to achieve their goals because of distracting thoughts. You must understand that studying knowledge with heart is what you really want to do, and those so-called fame and benefits are just a reward for studying with heart. Whether they are there or not, they should not affect the mentality of doing knowledge, because absorbing The ultimate goal is to learn something so that you can truly improve yourself spiritually and mentally.
“A country is an assembly of people. Scholars can speak about learning, workers can speak about work, and those who work can speak about what they are doing. In short, it is the country that speaks about the country.
"By diligently practicing their respective knowledge, scholars engaged in medical work can rejuvenate the world and save people; scholars engaged in literary work can write like gods, using the unique writing form of the Chinese nation to fully demonstrate the charm of national culture and national spirit; Scholars engaged in scientific research can persevere and make a blockbuster success, making our country's military and scientific research strength increasingly stronger... In this way, everyone can perform their duties and all industries can develop, instead of only focusing on one aspect of knowledge. In this way, If the balance is out of balance, the country will not be able to develop in an all-round way.
