A good book is like a beloved wife, a loyal friend and a lighthouse. Today, I found that Things You Can't Don't Think about in Life, which was introduced to the mainland for the first time, is different from the traditional good books in China and has many novel ideas. Krishnamurti, a famous Indian philosopher, has a wide and far-reaching influence in the West. He argues that truth is purely a personal realization, and he must illuminate himself with his own light to help mankind get rid of fear completely and realize the realm of compassion and happiness. Because I like it, I plan to read it in my spare time and write some notes. As the beginning of this year, I will emancipate my mind to a greater extent.
Confucius said, it's a pleasure to learn while learning. Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? I don't know. Isn't it a gentleman? This studious spirit, friendly attitude and pursuit of gentlemen are all very good, but when I think about it, Old Master Q seems to have a helpless and enjoyable psychological state in that chaotic era. Not to mention the chaos of the times, even if it is clear, we may live in a chaotic part, so it is not enough to just pursue being a gentleman. Krishnamurti, an Indian philosopher, put forward for the first time in his works what kind of education we need, which is at a higher level than Old Master Q Q.
Education is generally for others. Learning is obtained from others, and this kind of self-learning and self-education is a lifelong process, so I think the first thing to understand is the purpose of learning. It is true that a large number of students and adults are studying tirelessly, but unfortunately, many people may spend their whole lives and don't understand the purpose of learning. Constantly striving for grades, prestigious schools, good jobs, good positions, fame and fortune, etc., gradually getting old in such competition, but unable to make themselves a perfect person, help more people live clearly and make due contributions to society. Those who study hard, some people get these pursuits, but they pollute the world with their rights. Some people get these pursuits, but they unconsciously contribute to the world while serving themselves. If we can understand the purpose of learning, how much garbage will be reduced and how much beauty will be added to the world! Therefore, making clear the purpose of learning should be the first step for people.
What is the purpose of learning? It is to know all the nuances of life, its amazing beauty, its joys and sorrows, cultivate people's wisdom, find out the answers to all questions, find out what is true and correct, stop fear and struggle, meet challenges, seek truth and create a new world. What is this new world? I haven't found it in his works yet. My understanding should be to create a self that conforms to the law of development through learning and create a world that is with me and transformed for me.
