People often give up the glimmer of light in their hearts, just because it is their own thing. However, from the works of genius, people realize the glimmer of light that they have abandoned.
Some people say that genius is different from ordinary people in that he can cherish and value the glimmer in his heart. For ordinary people, we often lack this confidence and give up.
If Newton continued to sleep after being awakened, he would not study gravity; If Archimedes did not notice the common phenomenon that water overflowed from the water tank during bathing, then the law of buoyancy would not appear; If Watt happened to find that the lid of the kettle would vibrate after the water was boiled, but he didn't continue his research, then there would be no invention of the steam engine ... These discoveries often came from life and once flashed in our hearts. Everyone has "a hundred thousand whys" in their hearts. The difference between geniuses and us is that they have the spirit of solving and exploring "whys", which is exactly what we lack. And we don't realize its value and give up easily.
People often hold a negative attitude towards self-worth but affirm others, which is a manifestation of lack of independent personality. As Kant commented on the Enlightenment, "Help people get rid of the ignorance imposed on them." This ignorance is not an intellectual defect, but a sense of personal powerlessness, which is completely limited by the times and society. Therefore, if we cherish and attach importance to our inner glimmer, we will certainly help people distinguish their own personality and value among all sentient beings, so as to transcend the restrictions of "ordinary people" in society and exist as an independent "genius".
"When you let loneliness spread among people," Baudelaire said, "you really have yourself." We know that the process of self-knowledge is lonely and difficult. Whether it is epiphany or gradual enlightenment, you need a long life experience, life accumulation and long-term thinking, and these must be your own way. Fear from the heart is inevitable, but it is precisely because the shimmer comes from the heart that you should keep it, which means that you are different from the secular society and live yourself. "The faint light in the dark middle layer" is not only the guide when walking at night, but also the light that soothes the soul in loneliness. Because I refuse to give up the light of the soul, I become lonely, and because I cherish this light, I get comfort from it.
When we regain our curiosity and live according to our own life, our twilight will gather together, and the collective twilight will eventually become a bright light, illuminating not only the ideological and cultural circles, but also the direction of social development. In the materialistic era, people often lose themselves, give up the light in their hearts and become accessories of others, and the world will stop. Seize this ray of light, live high, and pursue independent personality, then the world will be bright.
Little shimmer, gathered into a sea of stars, let us regain the shimmer and light up our lives!
