First, understand involution.
The word involution is essentially different from effort, and the latter refers more to meaningless effort. For example, the teacher assigned a 2000-word paper, but some students wrote 5000 words in order to get a better score. Then other students found that the students who wrote 5000 words got high marks, so next time more students will write 5000 words, and some will write longer. This is a meaningless involution cycle. In fact, even if there are more words in the paper, there will be no substantial changes, which will only increase our burden in vain. However, if people around us are busy with words, we can only follow the trend and expand it. Eventually, everyone's burden will increase, but it will not increase our useful knowledge.
In addition, people who participate in the thesis generally don't want to tell others that they participated in the thesis, but choose to study secretly, so they can't play the role of 1+ 1 > 2. For example, some people will pretend not to study at ordinary times, but just review before the exam, but in fact he works hard, just don't want others to study hard and increase their competitive burden. So at the end of the paper, everyone will be suspicious of each other, and always feel that others will work harder than themselves, which will increase their psychological burden and study harder. Moreover, I will not be willing to share my study materials with others, so the involution is essentially a vicious competition. Without cooperation, we can only get twice the result with half the effort.
Second, how to treat involution
1, admit your imperfections. The so-called involution is not necessarily a person, but a competition between a group of people. If we don't want to lose ourselves in the crazy involution, we can't let other people's practices affect us too much. For example, you have three roommates. They all study well, but no matter how hard you try, you can't compare with them. At this time, you only need to accept your own shortcomings and explore your own advantages in other fields, such as participating in club activities and competitions, so that you can improve yourself and increase your confidence in other areas.
2. Treat "Buddhism" dialectically. If there is any word that contradicts the involution, it is the word Buddhism in previous years. If you have fallen into the tide of involution and are exhausted physically and mentally, then try to be a Buddhist teenager and a Buddhist girl. Proper Buddhism is the antidote to involution, but it doesn't mean that we have to give up everything and want Buddhism, which will only make us lose many opportunities that we could have reached out and seized. Therefore, Buddhism is moderate, so don't be too indulgent.
Third, the conclusion
There are many reasons for involution. Maybe we can't change the present situation of involution, but we can try to change ourselves. Look down on rankings, scores and achievements, and lower your own requirements. Give yourself a little room to bow your head and catch a lot of tenderness that you miss because you are busy. Keep in touch with family and friends, try to be an honest person, and don't fight needlessly. The world is actually beautiful, but we rush by.
