Keywords: happy competition, tired of stimulating society

Sue, a great philosopher in the 20th century. His life has gone through almost a whole century. He experienced the sunset glow of Victorian dusk, tasted the taste of prison bars and the pain of losing his freedom, and also enjoyed the freedom and happiness of mankind.

Blessed, running around. I personally like Russell's works. His philosophy is cordial and eloquent, and many viewpoints and expositions are simple and clear, even humorous. As Einstein said, "read Russell."

Pinpin is the happiest time in my life. If the theory of philosophy is difficult and boring, it can only be the philosophy of those scholars, but isn't the purpose of philosophy to make people live a better life? In my opinion, philosophy

It should be a philosophy of life, not belonging to a small number of people, but to the public. At the same time, philosophy should be applied to real life to realize its theoretical value. Russell's philosophical wisdom lies in this, which makes the public

Can read the meaning of philosophy.

Tolstoy, a great literary master, said, "All happy families are similar, and each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." It seems that we can also say the opposite: "Unfortunately, people are all the same.

Yes, every happy person has his own happiness. "So everyone has a" happy road ". Russell told us this way: "I hope many men and women who have suffered misfortune but have not enjoyed happiness can be diagnosed." "

Diagnose your symptoms and find out how to get rid of them. "

Freedom and happiness are two basic values of human existence recognized by Russell. If we can find a happy "guide" and "guide" in life, maybe we can become a happy philosopher.

one

Happy people live in an objective way He has an open and inclusive love and a wide range of interests. With these love and interests, he became the object of love and interest of many others, and he got luck.

Fu. This is a very famous sentence by Russell. It is human nature and human right to long for the happiness of survival and pursue the happiness of life. But a person living in the world will inevitably have all kinds of troubles, troubles and pains.

Especially in modern social life, we are increasingly faced with economic coercion, survival competition, concept conflict, social change and other serious squeeze. No matter what social position you are in or what ideological realm you gain, you don't have to face it. that

Where do some unhappy factors come from? Part comes from the external social environment, and part comes from the internal personal psychology. The unhappiness caused by personal psychological factors stems from the wrong world outlook and ethical concepts to a considerable extent.

And habits, that ruined their enthusiasm and hobbies for general things. In the final analysis, things are the result of both internal and external factors. Internal cause is the internal source of the development of things. In general, it is impossible for individuals to change the social environment.

I can do my best, but I can improve my personal psychological quality, such as ideas and habits, which can be changed through personal efforts within the scope of personal rights. People have subjective initiative, so we should give full play to it.

People's subjective initiative to better serve us.

Competition, a word flowing in every corner of society in today's society, can be an angel or a devil. We all know that things always exist.

From two aspects, we should look at the problem comprehensively. So there are both pros and cons to competition. A person who is engaged in a certain career is poor if he doesn't really expect success or pursue success. successful

Experience makes people understand the joy of life, and it does not deny that success can bring corresponding returns, that is, money can improve the happiness of life to a certain extent, but beyond that level, it is not the case. such as

If he attaches too much importance to the success of life competition and regards it as the main source of happiness in life, this is the root of trouble. Success can't be the only factor of happiness in life. If all other factors are sacrificed to win success,

This price seems too high. Of course, competition is also related to specific fields and specific environments. For example, people with advanced knowledge are respected; Sailors are respected people except a few small countries. although

However, no matter what you do, there is a struggle for success, but at the same time, it is not only success itself that makes people respect, but the characteristics on which success depends. A scientist may or may not make money. He makes money.

When he doesn't earn money, he won't be more respected. No one will be surprised to find that a good general or admiral is not rich. Indeed, in some cases, in a sense, poverty is still a kind of.

Reasons for respect. In America, things will be very different. People often infer other people's income from their living standards, and then use it to judge other people's talents. In the whole rich class, nothing can eliminate this

A narrow and naked struggle for financial success. It can be seen that the root of competition is not only lurking in individuals, so it is impossible to overcome this phenomenon alone. Paying too much attention to the result of the game is too much.

Pay attention to cultivating will, at the expense of feelings and reason. It can be said that this practice is a causal inversion. Therefore, competition is necessary. But don't take it as the main content of life, or as the basis of life. Follow the letter of guarantee

With the concept of life balance, enjoy a sound and peaceful mind.

In Russell's view, boredom is a factor of human behavior and a unique passion of human beings. Animals will be listless when caught.

Walking up and down, fidgeting, but in the natural mode, he didn't believe that they had a similar boring experience. Russell has a point. Man is the product of nature and society, and animals are the product of nature.

Things, so human beings have one more attribute than animals-social attribute. Boredom comes from the objective society, not nature. Russell said: "A happy understanding is quite quiet and indifferent, because"

Only in a quiet and indifferent atmosphere can real happiness exist forever. "Some trivial things in life will cause us an emotion-boredom. There are generally two kinds of boredom. First: face the present.

In my mind, there is a sharp conflict between the present situation and other pleasant situations; Second: a person's faculties are not fully mobilized and concentrated on one thing. Boredom is essentially a desire for something.

The expectation of events is not necessarily pleasant, as long as there is something that can make boring victims feel that this day is different from a fierce day. The antonym of boredom is not happiness, but excitement. So it can

In this way, boredom is not an indispensable part of one's life, but can be avoided, and the way to avoid it is to pursue excitement quite strongly. As we climb the social ladder, the pursuit of excitement becomes stronger and stronger.

The more people who had fun last night, the more boring they get up in the morning. Anyone who has the ability to pursue excitement always runs around, having fun, dancing and drinking at any time. Take a person's life resources as classics.

It is unwise to spend resources like that. A person who is used to anesthesia will feel bored without anesthesia and think that only time can eliminate it. In a sense, various stimuli are also related to taking drugs for anesthesia.

The agency is the same. An overstimulated life is an exhausting life. A person who is used to excessive stimulation, like a person who is addicted to pepper, seems to have no taste for the irresistible power of pepper.

Here you are. It can be seen that one of the elements of boredom is to avoid excessive stimulation, which not only harms health, but also makes people's senses numb to all happiness. As long as the stimulation of the body cannot satisfy the soul, it is superficial to activate the body instead of wisdom.

Surprise has replaced real beauty. Of course, a considerable degree of stimulation is beneficial. Like almost everything, weight has a lot to do with advantages and disadvantages. Quantitative change is the basis of qualitative change, so we should grasp the degree. People in modern cities

People's boredom is closely related to being divorced from natural life. Don't let yourself lose your natural attributes, return to nature occasionally and let go of all kinds of burdens of life.

We are the development trend of the whole society.

A part of the stream, not an independent individual like billiards, has nothing to do with other individuals except influence. All happiness comes from some kind of opposition or lack of agreement. There is no connection between consciousness and unconsciousness.

Departments can lead to self-division. Without the maintenance of objective interest and emotional strength, there will be a lack of consistency between self and society. Happy people will not suffer any kind of pain because of this division. His personality is neither

Split against ourselves, and we will not split against the world. Such a person feels that he is a citizen of the universe, enjoying the beauty and changes endowed by the world freely, and setting himself up without worrying about death.

Sad, because he felt that he was not really separated from future generations. If a person can deeply integrate his personal life with the torrent of human life, he can happily enjoy the supreme happiness of life.

So how to get real happiness? Are you hungry? Russell thinks the most important thing is:

1. Reasonable ideal and belief, that is, hope, pursuit and affirmation of ideal life. People who doubt everything and have no support in their thoughts can hardly be happy in life. We should choose ourselves in life and establish a reasonable belief in life.

Two: the friendly interest in people and things, the fundamental happiness of life, and the most important thing is to rely on people's friendly interest in things. The more things a person is interested in, the more chances he has to be happy, and the less he will be at the mercy of fate. Any interest that is harmless to others is valuable. Because interest can enrich life.

Three:

Love emotions and overcome the bad habit of being self-centered. In interpersonal communication, a strong ego is a prison. If you want to fully enjoy life in this world, you must escape from prison and become sincere.

Love shows that a person has escaped from the cage of self. Of course, just getting love is not enough. When you get love, you should release the love you want to give. Only by getting love and giving love equally can we do our best.

Result.

Four: constructive work. Work is the most important source of inexhaustible happiness in life. The advantage of work lies in eliminating the boredom of life, giving people a chance to succeed and satisfying their will. When constructive work is completed, it is pleasant to see it, and this work is a never-ending process.

Five: leisure and entertainment. It can help people maintain a balanced consciousness, have a real and vivid feeling about the whole world, and experience and appreciate a variety of lives.

Six: learn to be patient. A happy person should not only know how to work hard for a lofty goal, but also be good at enduring an ordinary, monotonous and unsatisfactory life. Many people don't deserve to worry or get angry about every little unsatisfactory thing, so that they waste a lot of energy that could have been used for more benefits.
