Man, the soul of all things, the tallest animal in the universe, has become the absolute master of this planet today. He can fly a spaceship to heaven, go to sea by submarine, and even look for a new paradise outside the earth ... But if we slow down the pace of heaven and look back at ourselves, we will find that we know very little about our inner world.
That's why I was shocked.
Therefore, we should advocate: know yourself correctly.
From Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, that "man is a hairless animal walking with his feet" to Marx's definition of man has natural and social attributes; From Oracle Bone Inscriptions's "Know Yourself" engraved at the Greek Classical Tune to Schopenhauer's self-questioning and self-answering "Who am I?
"It can be seen that human beings have the desire to know themselves and understand themselves. However, people are extremely sensitive, fragile and intelligent animals. From the moment they knew how to make clothes with leaves, they learned to beautify their own advantages to better cover up their shortcomings. This is indeed a great progress compared with those lower animals, but it just exposes the limitations of human beings: how many people in history have the courage to know themselves correctly? Advice when most needed is least heeded, and Li wanted to "stop slandering". Even a generation of sage Emperor Taizong almost killed Wei Zhi who dared to remonstrate. Ostrovsky, a Soviet hero, once said, "Some feelings in human nature are hard to admit ..." People are such complicated contradictions that they are eager to know themselves but afraid to know themselves, so they are very painful. In this kind of pain, some people cannot extricate themselves and become their own slaves; However, some people, after experiencing profound self-reflection, have the courage to face the secular vision, challenge themselves, and then re-recognize themselves. Among them, there is a story that is well known to women and children. After listening to Zou Ji's "admonition", the King of Qi immediately realized his own shortcomings and ordered reform. How valuable is this mentality of disobeying orders and daring to correct them? Mr. Lu Xun also said: "Although I am always flogging others, I analyze myself more mercilessly. "Among them, the most prominent is the French writer Rousseau. His Confessions is an unprecedented Confessions of the Soul, which truly records his life, including all kinds of ugly acts of being a thief, abandoning his best friend and framing others. Reading these confessions is often shocking. Because when he dissects himself to pieces, it is the time when he really knows himself and surpasses himself. The wheel of history has been rolling for hundreds of years with a flick of a finger. In the information age, we shoulder the great historical mission of protecting, transforming and beautifying nature, so we should have a correct understanding of ourselves.
Know yourself correctly, it is the stone of dreams, to strike the fire of ideals; It is the ideal fire to ignite the lamp of creation; It is the lamp of creation, illuminating the road to success; It is the road to success, leading to all directions without getting lost!
