" Great Wisdom Is Like Foolishness , A Realm in Life" is an essay I published in " Anhui Youth Daily ". Da Zhi Ruo Fool refers to a person who is wise and talented. On the surface, he seems to be stupid, but in fact, he is not. It means that a person with great wisdom is deeply cultivated and generally does not show his edge easily. The reason why I mentioned it again today and made some adjustments to the text is also in response to some bad phenomena on the Internet recently.
The phrase "great wisdom is like foolishness" comes from the article "Congratulations on Ouyang Xiu's Official Beginning" written by Su Shi in the Song Dynasty , you can avoid it; if you have great courage, you can plan things in your heart. This way you can preserve your personality and avoid following the crowd.
A person with a dark mentality always thinks that others are dark. In our real life, some people are impetuous and unable to bear loneliness; some people are aware of the traps but join in the same trend; some people are foolish but not wise enough; some people cannot withstand setbacks. They will become disheartened; some people bring their dissatisfaction with reality into the online world and act unscrupulously, biting whoever they see, and making harsh remarks; even worse, they sit in a well and watch the sky, are ignorant, narrow-minded, suspicious, and have a distorted mentality. She has never achieved anything in her life but still blames others and chatters all day long, just like the modern male version of " Xianglin's wife ". In the final analysis, these are the lack of the most basic cultivation of life and work, and have little to do with "great wisdom".
"Great wisdom is like foolishness" is actually a very important aspect of the way of bending and stretching. Lu Kun of the Ming Dynasty wrote in "The Moaning Language": "People laugh at a fool, and doubt a wise man. Being smart but stupid is also a sign of great wisdom." People with great wisdom do not show off their dew, and appear to be very stupid on the outside. cowardly. In fact, this is not only a supreme state of life, but also a strategy for life. A wise man is like a fool. On the surface, he seems to be doing nothing, and even makes people ignore his existence. However, at the critical moment, he can remain calm and win steadily. Sometimes, as a person, you should try to avoid being obvious and avoid becoming the target of others' envy and attack. You know, the day when vanity swells is when a person becomes frustrated.
There is still a lot of positive energy around us, and there are many people who are both wise and foolish. People who are as wise as foolish are often tolerant and open-minded, do not show their sharpness, and do not reveal their mountains and rivers. Sometimes they even appear a bit dull and pedantic. In fact, they are like a mirror in their hearts. Otherwise, there would be no such profound philosophical idiom "as wise as foolish".
Of course, "being as wise as a fool" does not mean being mysterious or pretending to be crazy, nor is it pretentious or pretending to be profound, but is a way of treating others and dealing with others with tolerance, an attitude, such as: being calm, not afraid when encountering chaos, not being frightened when being flattered, and enduring humiliation. Unyielding; natural, plain, solid, ordinary; seeing through but not explaining, knowing the root but not revealing the bottom. Everything is clear in my heart, but it seems unclear on the surface.
my country's Ming Dynasty thinker and scholar Hong Yingming wrote in the article "Cai Gen Tan": "The talent of a gentleman is hidden in jade and pearls, and cannot be easily understood." Looking back, people who have achieved great things in the past and present are all confident. , Honor or disgrace is not surprising. On the journey to the top of power, those who succeed and survive are often those who are wise and foolish. An important factor is that they can recharge their batteries and keep their edge low. Therefore, "Great Wisdom Rudes Foolishness" appears to be a wise and wise way of protecting oneself, but in fact it is a stepping stone to success. It can be seen that being wise and foolish is not only a necessary quality for successful career, but also a noble state of life.
Of course, when I say this, I am not advocating being an unprincipled "good guy", but I am saying that you must have laws and bottom lines in how you behave and do things. You must not be merciful to those people on the Internet who are afraid of chaos and have ulterior motives. Take action when it's time to take action, and take multiple measures to contain it forcefully, otherwise you will let the tiger go back to the mountain!
