A friend sent two pictures that mocked reality and asked: I was a little confused recently. Why can these things be seen as ironic, but there is a hint of recognition in my subconscious? Is what they show closer to the facts? You often analyze with me that some external enemies have become more and more clever, but is it also a deviation to attribute these contradictions to external factors? Is there really something wrong with our civilization now? Did the meat eaters realize it? Are you working hard to change, or is the corruption of the "root" finally manifested to the outside world now? Such information is becoming increasingly difficult to analyze in such a complex and difficult to distinguish the authenticity. Although, "If there is a problem, what you think of is not running, but changing, becoming a strong man who can go further, rather than a coward who escapes when there is a problem", this confusion does exist and is eroding my heart.

The questions raised by my friend are very common, because many people in the Internet era have experienced or are experiencing this kind of confusion. These people include young people, and middle-aged and elderly people who have experienced multiple eras, including myself, have never been confused!
Not long ago, I also discussed with netizens on the Internet about how to improve network immunity. The rumors I have encountered on the Internet over the years and the public opinion war information created by "water army" and "cents" are nothing more than replacing all macro facts with local truth, thus "routinely" netizens, guiding netizens' thoughts and consciousness to a given direction; then there is partial distortion, highlighting facts that are not really important, artificially emphasizing or amplifying, deliberately confusing secondary facts with important facts, and pinching the head and tail to re-stitching the causal relationship of facts; finally, it is to fake, create something out of nothing, or misinterpreting and slandering the facts, and taking a picture, the content depends entirely on editing. The reasons for the inaccurate and distorted network information are subjective and intentional, as well as low-level and poor understanding. What’s so bad are those subjective and intentional, one point of truth, nine points of falsehood, which makes you feel real no matter how you look at it, and you can directly "get it into the trap".
Why is it said that humans pursue truth is a great cause? That is because humans need to constantly break the falsehood through the efforts of countless generations and even pay countless lives to achieve consistency between objective and cognition. Each of us understands objective facts and distinguishes the truth and falsehood. It is itself an important part and step in human pursuit of truth. Therefore, the so-called "confusion" is just a problem of growth process and understanding process. It is normal and important. Once you figure it out, you will grow one step and move one step forward, and then be confused again, understand again, and make progress again. In this way, you will walk out a golden road leading to the palace of truth!

It is not easy to understand the world and society around us. An objective fact: we are experiencing an unprecedented era. Of course, this sentence can be used to say it a hundred years ago. After all, no one can know exactly what will happen in the future. The sun is new every day, especially in the Internet age. The amount of information we bear every day is at the extreme of the development of thousands of years of human civilization, dozens and hundreds of times that of countless generations of predecessors in history. In such an information ocean, if you are not careful, you will be confused by the messy information and will be lost in the ocean of information. This is unprecedented.
What's even more fatal. In this ocean of information, if someone deliberately bombs you information, information erodes you, just like more than ten years ago, someone browsing Weibo and making his outlook on life change. He feels that the whole world is dark, until one sentence wakes up the dreamer: every Weibo account and network group is actually a window. If the people you follow and the information you pay attention to, if they are all dark, the world you see will naturally be dark. When you pay attention to sunshine and justice, you will find the wonderfulness of the world. is also the inevitable result of the automatic selection and pushing of information by online big data based on readers' reading habits and content. For example, if you search for a keyword on the Internet, the Internet will automatically push a lot of relevant information to you. Such functions are available on platforms such as Weibo and Toutiao. In other words, the information you see on the Internet is only pushed to you by the Internet according to your preferences or needs. Unfortunately, these do not represent the whole world.
Especially if you have an invisible pair of hands that want you to see which type and aspect of information, or what kind of information they want you to live in, they can customize your information. This is very scary! Such a situation actually happened ten years ago when "public knowledge" was rampant, which was enough to change the colors of many people. That is why there were many online war articles such as "Network Shangganling " and "Fifth Column" on the Internet, and I can still feel the anxiety and smoke of my thoughts at that time.
These network chaos make us see that it is not easy for people to obtain normal growth rights. It is not easy for the information age. If someone deliberately makes bad things and intentionally blocks and erodes you, it is even more difficult to grow up healthily. To this end, we must learn to remove the coarseness and essence, distinguish the good and bad, absorb the nutrients from a large amount of information, and discard the dross in it. This is a kind of ability to survive in the information age. If this ability is not strong or does not exist, it is easy to cause drowning.

The era of perfection does not exist. No matter how great or prosperous the era is, if only its dark side is displayed, "greatness" will collapse in the hearts of the ignorant, otherwise, it is not objective. The world is not black or white, and there is a long gray area. This requires us to look tolerantly, continuously, and from multiple sides of many phenomena, or let the bullets fly longer. Perhaps it turns out to be a prank or a teenager's physiological youth rebellion.
After more than ten years of online public opinion, many old netizens are already very immunized to online information. They will "let the bullets fly for a while" whenever they happen. The videos or pictures they see will no longer easily comment on, but will find the original appearance of the unedited video as much as possible, understand the causes and consequences of the facts, and then explain their own views. After all, there are too many "water troops", too many "reversals", and too many "set the rhythm", and no one wants to become someone's cannon fodder.
The so-called "The Tao is one foot higher than the demon is one foot higher", the positive and negative always rise and fall, and advance in struggle. Corresponding to the continuous improvement of immunity in the Internet era, the other side's offense is also aggressive, and even in-depth research on " episode " to continuously improve the text lethality of the information network. In such a situation, if you don’t want to become a sacrifice or victim, you need to gain a foothold and don’t be confused and forget who you are.
In the past, Chairman Mao called the offenses that eroded our hearts and style "sugar-coated shells". The things that felt sweet in that era were nothing more than sugar. Even the people felt that eating in sugar was the happiest day. Now, there are countless things that are sweeter than sugar, and the "sugar-coated cannonball" naturally have a variety of things, countless. The beautiful mushrooms are poisonous, and the beautiful snakes kill people. Since there is a " White Bone View " that sees through the beauty, it is naturally hopeful to wear the false eyes of truth. Pulling your eyes openly, making your heart stronger, and building an inner line of defense against "viruses" is equally important for your growth and survival.
Think about it, which one is the most susceptible to being bewitched by a ten-year-old child, a twenty-five-year-old man or a sixty-year-old man? It is obvious that at the age of ten, then twenty-five, then sixty, and finally sixty. This is because at the age of sixty, he has had unshakable persistence and has been tested by sixty years of ups and downs. This shows that knowledge and experience are very important.But why are the elderly often deceived? Because fraud is very clever, the experience of the elderly cannot catch up with the dazzling information age. This shows that it is also very important to constantly update knowledge and acquire new experience.
The child was cheated and it was obviously stupid to blame the child. A very smart adult being cheated shows that the trick is clever, and on the other hand, it proves that there are gaps to drill, "flies do not stare at seamless eggs." If the defense line is not firm, or there is no defense line at all, it is naturally easy to take advantage of it.

In the information age, no matter how the methods are changed, it is ultimately three types: impersonate your relatives and compatriots to play the emotional card (the softest in your heart), hold on to the sensitivity that is enough to pry your heart (the stakes), and draw a big pancake that makes you drool (dreams and desires). With such a method, coupled with careful grinding of "talk", it is enough to make those who are not strong-willed in their hearts and minds prisoners.
For some problems in China today, it is not a big deal if it is viewed in China's civilization history for at least five thousand years. Compared with the era of domestic warlords' melee a hundred years ago, the big problems facing the Chinese are actually very simple. It is enough to always remember that you are Chinese. Many seemingly complex issues will become clear and clear once they are placed in front of the five words "I am Chinese".
The main interference and resistance to China's development today comes from the outside, and the danger lies in collusion between inside and outside. What they do is to let us lose ourselves, corrupt ourselves, and harm ourselves. This situation is being noticed and is changing. We must believe in the wisdom and vitality of a century-old party.
For some problems and decisions that arise during the construction and development of our country in our era, our country, and our country, I personally believe that learning and understanding as much as possible is really impossible to understand. It can be temporarily put aside, so that time can be gradually explained, and maintain a innocent heart. The first thing I need to do is to improve my abilities and cultivation. As the saying goes, "It is better to retreat and weave a net than to be envied by fish in the abyss" and "it is better to get up and move than to sit and discuss the truth." Everyone's abilities have size and scope. The so-called "cultivation of oneself, managing the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world" actually corresponds to the index of personal abilities. With the size of abilities, from self-cultivation to pacifying the world, at all stages, you can do it within your ability. When we cannot change more, we choose to be ourselves and be the best. Chairman Mao once said: "I have not been able to change the world, I have only changed several places in , in the suburbs of Beijing." This is not just modesty, but also a kind of inner strength.
Elevating these problems to the height of the Tao is actually the concentration on one's own Tao. Thousands of phenomena are external, and what you stick to in your heart is your own. Don’t interfere with your original heart by external information. On the one hand, you have a firm belief in your own Tao and reach a state of no leakage; on the other hand, you enrich and enrich your Tao by continuously learning and digging new knowledge to adapt to the new problems and new changes that are constantly emerging ahead; on the third side, you must test your Tao in these complex appearances. The stronger your opponent, the stronger your inner strength index, and test the weakness or gaps in your heart between defeat and being defeated, that is, the "inner thief" mentioned in Wang Yangming 's , consolidate your Tao by "breaking the thief in your heart". In a word: be the commander of one's own heart, without being disturbed by the outside world or dancing with other people's instructions, or even becoming someone else's puppet. No matter what I face, even if I am afraid of the extremely disgusting face, I will not move, not be upset or irritated, and maintaining a good appearance is my own cultivation. It has nothing to do with people, nor is it for anyone to show it to anyone. This is my personal concentration!
"本1年1年多年年年年年年年年年年年2, the world is poor. Facing the wall for ten years, the goal is to break the wall, and it is hard to repay the sea and be a hero." Your current saying is to complete your studies, read a lot of books, and master the most basic knowledge in your hands. For example, in history, you will be surprised to find that many of the real problems you are worried about have actually been answered in history.
