Before the 16th presidential election in the United States, Lincoln gave a speech as a candidate. Someone pointed at Lincoln and said: Mr. Lincoln, don’t forget that your father is just a shoemaker.

Lincoln answered: Thank you for your reminder, my father has passed away, and I will miss him forever. Even if I can be president, I can't be better than my father's shoemaker, and I can't have the excellent shoemaking skills of my father. I remember that my father made your shoes, and if they don’t feel suitable, I can serve you.

Some officials were very dissatisfied with Lincoln's attitude towards his political enemies and criticized Lincoln for taking a struggle to eliminate his political enemies.

Lincoln asked: Isn’t this the way to destroy the enemy?

comment

insult, failure, trapped and hostile, these are all contradictions. Many people believe that contradictions are the driving force behind the development of things. In fact, this is a fallacy.

Contradiction is not the driving force for the development of things, but people's attitude towards contradictions is. The state of things is also divided into different levels, and the meaning of life lies in moving from a low level to a high level.

If people choose to stick to the level of the contradiction itself when facing contradictions, they will feel angry, sad, sad and struggle, and then become a puppet of the contradictions, limited to the lowest level - to die for the contradictions, emotions fluctuate due to contradictions, and struggle continues to occur due to contradictions. Wang Yang understood this truth, and was ashamed of losing his mind; Lincoln understood this truth, so he was unwilling to fight against his political enemies.

If people choose to jump out from the lowest level of contradiction, they will often find that "there is no way out after the end of the mountain, and the dark willows and flowers will be brighter and there will be another village", and their mood will also be sublimated to a higher level and gain freedom beyond the contradiction. This is exactly the reason why that lady survived the disaster, and it is also why Confucius was able to use the sound of the piano to resolve the difficulties.

Home, or being a contradictory puppet, low level or higher level, the key lies in the choice of one's thought.
