Wang Shuo, the founder of Ruffian Literature, once said a famous saying: Never treat me as a human being.

When I first read this statement, I felt that Wang Shuo was belittling himself. After reading it carefully and thinking about it, it turns out that's not the case. He is saying: Don't treat me as a human being. I don't even treat myself as a human being, let alone you!

We must not take it seriously. If we don’t treat Wang Shuo as a human being, we ourselves will not be human beings. Therefore, we still have to treat Wang Shuo as a human being, so that we can also treat ourselves as a human being.

Actually, I think Wang Shuo is expressing another meaning: Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Human beings themselves are nothing great. At best, they are just a little more advanced than other reptiles. However, no matter how advanced it is, it is still an animal.

The name "human" itself is a way for us to put gold on our faces.

Putting species aside, in terms of human social functions alone, whether they are serving as an official, doing business or doing academic work, it is impossible to become a perfect person. If you know everything, understand everything, and do everything well, then why don’t you go to heaven?

No matter which industry or circle we are in, we should not take ourselves too seriously. The world is big and broad enough to sink our arrogance.

Once, someone went to visit Mr. Ba Jin. During the conversation, the visitor said to Ba Jin: "You are the Taishan Beidou in today's literary world, a leader and a writer famous at home and abroad."

When Balao heard this, he did not show joy, but said very seriously: "How can there be any leader? I am just a child who has just dabbled in literature."

Baelao at that time Already in his twenties, he still modestly calls himself a child of the literary world. Others said he was a literary figure, but he said he did not dare to be so.

In fact, Mr. Bala is qualified to be called a leader in the literary world and deserves the respect of all of us. But one of the messages Balao conveyed to us is: Don’t lift me up too high.

Ba Lao knows how to praise, and we are willing to praise him. But many people are not as humble as Mr. Bala. They think they have achieved a small achievement, so they feel complacent, arrogant and arrogant, and even forget their own names.

Since people are honored to wear this layer of human skin, they should cherish it, speak human words, and do human things. Don't turn yourself into a beast in human skin.

Being a human being is quite tiring, but this life can also be very relaxing, but it requires a good attitude.

A few years ago, I met a girl. No matter from any aspect, it is impossible for the two of us to be friends. She has a good appearance and good academic performance, and I am a scumbag.

By chance, we became friends who talked about everything. There were many suitors around her, but she rejected them all. Those suitors thought it was because of me.

So he maliciously slandered me and said bad things about me in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, but slowly she actually believed it. I also started to go out with those suitors. I sincerely warned her and explained to her, but not only did she not listen, she even scolded me.

Later, she sent me a letter to break up the relationship: Jun, I have a long way to go, and I am not worthy of it. From now on, we will cherish each other regardless of the world.

I did not reply, but looked at the message and remained silent for a long time.

There are so many girls in the world. Who do you think you are? Don’t think too highly of yourself.

I recited Tao silently in my heart.

At night, I was lying on the bed alone, looking at the message she sent, covering myself with a quilt, and crying.

I once regarded him as a confidant in my heart. It seems that I overestimated myself. I am just an ordinary person.

I wrote in my later reply:

I was a young man who was not talented and could not talk and laugh with the girl. I wandered around the world. I didn’t know that the girl had already been interested in the young master of another family. After this separation, she since There is no need to meet each other, all the love and admiration will go away with the wind.

Since it was Xiaosheng who missed the girl's future, if the girl goes south, Xiaosheng will look north. If he doesn't disturb the girl's purity, he will live this life happily. From now on, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. I will ride my horse and whip my whip, and I will remember this girl in my heart. When I return home wearing brocade, if you are not married, I will definitely fall in love with you. If not, I would like to send you my best wishes from afar, wishing you a warm winter, wishing you a warm spring, wishing you have a light when it’s dark and an umbrella when it rains, and wishing you a loved one to accompany you for the rest of your life.

Many years later, I heard that she later got married and had children, but died of illness a year ago and has passed away. After being shocked, my heart trembled. I closed my eyes and thought about it. I still remembered that her charming face and smile were still the same.

Don’t say that beautiful women will age easily, but only that they will die if they are ill.

If you think about it carefully, we are just a drop in the ocean, so why bother?

Don’t be arrogant or belittle yourself. You really don’t need to take yourself too seriously.
