Article [2 12]

The article "Thrift" was extracted temporarily this time, and it was also roughly published and shared with you:

Indeed, when I was studying at school, I spent a lot of time not what I urgently needed, but I was used to going to the canteen three times a day, not doing housework at ordinary times, and being used to being immersed in the world of professional knowledge, novels, TV and movies. I felt out of place with society as soon as I graduated.

Of course, this is not everyone's normal state. There are still many people who use their time at school to master a lot of useful knowledge and apply it to their daily lives. However, most people learn theoretical knowledge from life at school or indulge in virtual worlds. Only when they get out of this environment, really go out and integrate into society can they begin to grow up. Our education, on the one hand, is indeed a deficiency.

How many people are envious and say that they want to travel, but for one reason or another, they go away. I'm glad I found another hobby besides the code word-travel. I also said that I would leave, because without a plan, I would find it easier to get unexpected surprises than a perfect plan; More often, it is carefully planned, or traveling with a group, or traveling freely. Because you can enjoy traveling, the way is not the most important.

Traveling alone naturally has the advantages of traveling alone, but the older you get, the more things you know, and the less courageous you are. Now, I seldom choose to travel alone. For safety and inner enrichment, I prefer to travel together. As for traveling together, it is human nature to adjust the time and place according to the situation of the peers. Since we have chosen the way of peers, we naturally have to accept the changes brought about by it.

I remembered a story about the "shepherd":

A man saw a man lying leisurely on a hillside herding sheep and asked him why he didn't go out to earn money. The shepherd asked him why he went out to earn money. The man said that going out to earn money is to buy better things, do more things, and finally enjoy life leisurely. Then the shepherd said-what do you think I'm doing now?

This story can be viewed from two angles:

On the one hand, shepherds are short-sighted. Even though he thinks he is enjoying life, he is confined to a fixed environment. If you don't go to the outside world, you will experience a lot of wonderful things, and it is inevitable to "sit in the well and watch the sky." On the other hand, shepherds are actually very wise. He knows what kind of life he wants to live, and he doesn't care about the worldly vision, so he is more detached and chic than the average person.

Experience varies from person to person.

Personally, I have self-knowledge, like reading novels and code words, like traveling and enjoying leisure, so I am bound to become a person with a strong ambition and a wealth position that people look up to. I don't want my limited life to fall into making money and struggling. And everyone's life, how to live in the end, only oneself know. Distinguish the importance of the things you care about in your life, and you will know what to do in the future.

I have always thought that it is very satisfying to live freely and freely in this life. However, with the passage of time and the growth of age, I gradually find that the thoughts in my heart or mind will change and I can't balance a certain unchanging idea. However, if you think about it carefully, no matter how my mind changes, it is enough to be willing and have no regrets at the moment of making a choice.

In today's society, the division of classes has weakened, and everyone has become accustomed to the concept of equality. So when I read ancient novels, although I understand the existence of ancient classes, it is difficult to really recognize one person's loyalty to another. I don't think anyone with pride, pride, independence and dignity will be willing to give up everything to work for another person.

Thoreau preached simple and simple life. He believes that as long as there are plants to fill the stomach, people can be as healthy as cows and horses. Therefore, hungry people sometimes lack not basic and necessary food, but have higher requirements for food, so they would rather starve to death. At that time, more delicious, more complicated and more expensive food became a luxury.

Of course, this sentence can be understood in peacetime. However, in times of war and food shortage, people's hunger is not necessarily the pursuit of more exquisite and delicious food, but only the poor living conditions and inability to eat.

As the only intelligent creature on the earth, human beings rule the earth not only because of their wisdom, but also because of their excellent adaptability, creativity and imitation. (This kind of feeling, I always have a feeling of being above ~ ~ ~)

I quite agree with this sentence-people die, dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil, and it is completely clean. However, understanding is one thing, but in the face of death arrival, it is more admirable to remain rational, not afraid, not obsessed, and to see clearly.

When one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, or two like-minded couples can engage in such freelance work. Only work hard for a period of time a year, earn money to meet basic food and clothing, and then do other things that interest you. Imagine it's really beautiful.

It's nice to see Thoreau feel the same way.

A person's life, because everyone's personality is different, his fate is also different. Some people have a clear goal in life, move forward unswervingly, turn a blind eye to the fork in the road, and may soon reach the other side they want to reach; Some people have no specific goals for the future, so they just go with the flow. When they meet a fork in the road, they will get different results by taking different roads, but no matter what kind of results they choose, they all want to follow their own wishes at that time.

There are also times when after the dust settles, I regret not taking another fork in the road; There are also cases where familiar people become strangers because they choose different roads, and finally even pass by and become passers-by. In retrospect, you may regret it or suddenly lose it. However, after all, life is only this once, and how to live it is the best. It is impossible to make it clear. Only obedience is certain.

Having enough food and clothing for yourself has always been a virtue respected by China people. It is better to ask others than to ask yourself. But sometimes, it's not necessarily that you can't do it yourself, but that a person's life is different from that of a group of people or two people.

As the saying goes, "mentality determines fate", if you don't have confidence, no matter how good the conditions are and no matter how many people help you, you can't produce good results. And if you have confidence, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, you will tread the muddy road, cut through thorns, pick flowers from thorns with a smile and walk all the way.

Charity has almost become the standard for people with certain status and wealth. There must be people who really do good deeds, doing good deeds silently for decades, without seeking fame or profit; Others sing the name of charity in order to win the honor of charity, but they are stingy with their hands behind their backs, and a loud slap hits them.

I also fantasized about the same idea as Thoreau-in comparison, I also need help. Why didn't anyone suggest doing something good for me or someone like me? However, this is just an idea after all. Wealth and status gained through one's own efforts are the most reliable. It's really a good thing that fell from the sky. I don't simply accept it, but I will question the purpose behind it.

Moreover, real charity and money are secondary, and it is appropriate to give them to those who need help most. In the long run, it is even more "it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish."

The most touching thing is that in the most difficult situation of life, you can still see or bring others-a bunch of bright flowers that are still in full bloom, an inspiring smile, a positive song, and at the same time, cherish or be a person who has accompanied you as much as possible.

Do something good that you can, and don't forget to take care of your own safety.

The definition of freedom is difficult to express accurately-at present, we can choose our own career, partner and life. Compared with people in the past, we are free, but it is difficult for us to break free easily because of our responsibilities and obligations. So we are not free.

Perhaps, if you can stand the test of time and persist after several struggles, you can change the views of people around you to some extent and realize freedom?

Thoreau's "Thrift" was finished, or I read it one by one on the way to and from work on the subway, and then I rearranged and summarized it according to my notes. However, even if I read and browse again and combine my own life and feelings, it is still difficult for me to form a comprehensive understanding of this article.

Judging from the different meanings expressed in the previous paragraphs, I guess Thoreau was revised several times, experienced and felt in different times, and finally merged into one article, so as to publicize his thoughts or record them to people around him.

Frankly speaking, it is difficult for the title of this article to comprehensively summarize the content of the article. Thoreau mentioned many opinions on his own ideas, his understanding of the material world and the spiritual world, education, charity, health and so on. Some are deeply convinced, some I think go to extremes for the sake of different publicity effects or ideas, and some are deeply obscure with many different cultures.

As a literary unknown, my evaluation of this article may seem superficial, one-sided and irrelevant, but this does not affect my willingness to read this article and even this book, think deeply and ponder carefully. Think about it, being called a world masterpiece must have its own uniqueness, and it is also worth studying many times and sharing with you.
