"Zhuangzi": More sensible thinking, less echoed by others

1.

Many people will always unconsciously believe in what the group believes, because these things are familiar to them, and everyone is accustomed to it, because no one doubts most There will be problems with the standard you trust, so you will integrate yourself into this standard without thinking.

But I don't know that what the world exists is not necessarily the truth, because most people look at problems with secular prejudices and get the result. And from another point of view, a person will be very afraid of being alone in the group, so in order to avoid this kind of loneliness, in order to find one's sense of existence and being recognized in the group, it will be on a conscious level. , Appropriately move closer to the concept of the group.

There is a saying in "The Crowd": When a person integrates into society, he loses himself.

So it can be said that what most people trust may not be right. He just believes in a perceptually trusting thing without reason, and the final result is "knowing it but not knowing why". The problem lies precisely at the level of "I don't know why."

Zhuangzi once said: "Three people walk and one person is confused, and the one who is fit is still good, but the one who is confused is less; if two people are confused, it is hard to work, and the one who is confused wins. Nowadays, the world is confused. Pray, it's not available, and it's not sad!"

The meaning of this passage is: three people walk and one person is confused, and the place to go can be reached. This is because there are few people who are confused. If two people are confused, they will be in vain and cannot be reached. This is because many people are confused. But now everyone in the world is confused. Although I have prayed and yearned, it is impossible to achieve it. This is a kind of sadness.

When most people believe in a wrong thing, a correct concept will also be squeezed out in the wrong environment. When a group cannot accommodate even positive voices,How absurd this world should be.

In this state, the group will all fall in the wrong direction, and the wrong thing will definitely bring a painful result. When most people make the wrong ending, everyone can not escape this In the tragedy caused by this kind of error.

Therefore, most people in the world are the creators of human errors, and they may also be victims of human errors.

To avoid the existence of this human tragedy, the most fundamental wisdom is to be able to go from one's own sensibility to a rational level, and avoid the prejudice existing in consciousness that affects the criteria for judging problems.

If most people can tell themselves in a rational voice as much as possible, what should be trusted and what should be established in the world, then when the power of the group is concentrated, Present a more positive and positive society.

" Rong Zhai's Essays" has this passage:

"The rich have children who cannot feed themselves and let others abandon their own children." Breastfeeding, the poor have children who cannot feed themselves, but have to abandon their own children to feed others' children; the rich are too lazy to walk and send someone to use a sedan chair to carry him, while the poor cannot walk by themselves, but have to use a sedan chair to carry others.

These are things that we take for granted but we don’t notice. The world’s things are taken for granted and we don’t notice, and so on, we will find many similar things, but people don’t think this is a strange thing. It’s really sad.

In this passage, through the two things of breastfeeding and lifting the sedan chair, it satirizes the question of people taking things they take for granted to be right.

is just like what we just said. No one doubts what kind of problems a common thing will have. Everyone thinks that the established thing must be right, and most people agree that it must be implemented.

is precisely because of such a wrong concept,A fixed way of thinking has caused many unreasonable problems in life to persist without any improvement. Once people fall into a state of habit, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad things.

Many standards between the secular and the world are determined by people. When a group agrees with a thing, the individual has almost no right to speak, and under this secular standard, there are always some people who are in this way. Let it be at the mercy of the standards, and even lose dignity, just like the poor who have been carrying the sedan chair to the rich.

Therefore, life needs some voices that depart from the world but are close to the essence of things. The role of this voice is to correct the state of a group on the wrong road. In this world, there are always a few wise men, and an era In the right direction, it takes these few wise men to exist.

The so-called approach to the essence is not blindly deviating from the secular, but when facing the secular, more sensible thinking, fewer people agree with it, this is not only a kind of wisdom, but also Kindness.

Because you have one less time when others say things like others, in many cases you will often reduce harm to the person involved. In addition to forming a huge wrong value, secular concepts will also harm the people in question because of things like others. These injuries are often unaware of many people. In this state, the more sober and the more kind.
