"The only lesson humans learn from history is that humans never learn lessons." However, if you have experienced relatively rare troubled times in your limited years, for an individual, you still cannot live this year in vain.
This year, I summed up three "don'ts" from some knowledge and personal experience -
- don't take the initiative to do evil
- don't be too obedient
- don't blindly believe
Don't take the initiative to do evil, especially in times of chaos.
My generation is lucky enough to have not experienced some particularly dark years. I cannot understand how those independent individuals lost their integrity and drifted with the crowd in an era when reporting was a source of pride and taking personal revenge.
Although today's era is not so dangerous, it can be regarded as a condensation of the ugliness that has been rare in recent decades. Under the spotlight, the monsters and monsters are not the traditional aloof characters, but may even be passers-by who have passed by.
In a chaotic period, some people may be temporarily given power by chance. Power corresponds to responsibilities and obligations, but people with power often get carried away by power and ignore the responsibilities they should bear. All they see is the Sword of Shangfang in their hands. Once the demon in human nature is activated, its destructive power is often beyond his imagination.
Not taking the initiative to do evil should be the bottom line of everyone's conscience in this chaotic era. Whether it is a temporary power or a fixed privilege, the system has institutional rules. If you are unable to resist the rules, then please raise the muzzle an inch. This is the kindness you should have as an individual - Don't make up crimes to frame others, nor kill weak spots in order to conquer others.
At any time, everyone cannot be sure whether they are a "manager" or a "managed" in a specific scenario.
It is not a certain organization that changes the clouds and rain, but the torrent of the times. Individuals are just a drop in the crowd. Don't take yourself too seriously, but you must take yourself as an individual.
Don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil deeds because they are small. Society thrives by supporting each other, not by fighting against each other.
Don't be overly obedient, especially when it touches the bottom line of life and dignity.
Some arrangements, or even orders, may come from a vague collective or an organization with unknown specific responsible persons. It may be that no one will ultimately be held responsible for the consequences of this arrangement. For the lives that have passed or the irreparable losses, even if someone takes responsibility according to the provisions of the law, it does not have much practical significance.
At certain special moments, don’t be too obedient! Even if you may be criticized, blamed, suppressed, threatened or even punished at the moment, nothing is more important than taking the initiative to protect your own life and right to survival.
If there is a life, there will be a turn for the better, and if there is a sound body, there will be new hope. If you are in a society where lies are hard to justify and you have doubts about the arrangements that involve your own living situation, don’t worry about face. On the premise of not violating the safety of others, even if you act recklessly or accept punishment, you must reverse the most dangerous situation and jump out of the most dangerous path.
Perhaps personal judgment will be biased, and perhaps "intuition" is not correct, but destiny should be controlled by one's own hands, rather than numbly being at the mercy of people who have nothing to do with oneself. It doesn't matter if your judgment is wrong. Which one is more important, face or lizi?
Those lives that suddenly disappeared on the bus left behind a valuable lesson: "Don't be obedient, don't be obedient, don't be obedient."
Don’t blindly believe, especially in the era of all kinds of information explosion
It is difficult for ordinary people to identify the authenticity of a piece of information at a glance, but ordinary people can keep their hearts independent, at least not emotionally led.
In a relatively acute period, any measure may have two opposing voices, and there may be noise mixed with private goods. Don't naively think that some people must be much better than us, and don't crudely think that some things must be as we expected.
It is difficult to remain responsible, but you must always remind yourself that at least you cannot become a pawn. We are far from having an impact on the world, but we may affect the judgment of people around us. This is a dangerous signal, such as a shortage of supplies caused by excessive hoarding by a large number of people in a short period of time.
Hearing both will lead to enlightenment, believing only half will lead to darkness. The life experience summarized by the ancients is equally valid in modern society. Even sometimes, what you see and hear is only part of it and not the whole picture. Don't rush to evaluate a person or thing easily. Do not disseminate uncertain news, unverified hearsay, or areas you do not understand with too much personal emotion, let alone add fuel to the fire.
Rushing to a final conclusion seems to seize the high ground of IQ, but in terms of morals and emotions, it does not necessarily mean victory in the final rational decision-making.
Especially a conclusion with a negative meaning may not necessarily have a negative impact on the other party, but it may have negative consequences on one's own emotions and choices. In other words: Complaining is of no use, just do your part.
If starting a business requires the spirit of stay hungry and stay foolish, then in the face of the bizarre and numerous changes in life, stay skeptical and stay objective.
Only by summarizing experience and continuing to improve can we be worthy of the uneasiness and hesitation we have experienced, so that we can avoid detours in the long road of life in the future, and at least give us some certain psychological construction for the uncertain future.
