Introspection is a reins, a reins to control the horse. When you waved the reins, the horse flew like an arrow, but at the critical moment, we had to suddenly pull the reins to stop the horse, because there was an abyss ahead. This is pulled back from the cliff, and introspection is the reins of this horse.
Liu Che, the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, has been in power for 54 years. In order to maintain the security of the northern part of the country, he sent many generals, such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, to conquer the Xiongnu, and even broke the Xiongnu army, forcing the Xiongnu to move inward, thus ensuring the security of the northern part. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once went to Zhonglie Village and saw people there hungry, naked and desolate. He went to talk to a man who had lost his right leg, and only heard the man say, "Your Majesty, when shall I hit the Huns again?" I want to go to the battlefield! " At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty realized that there had been years of war, the people were miserable and the economy was in recession, so he could not fight any more. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promulgated the "Gaozui Book" to concentrate on developing the economy. Just think, if Liu Che continues to send troops to Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty will be short-lived after all. It can be seen that introspection makes people suddenly realize that they will not make mistakes again.
Introspection is not only a reins, but also a meat cleaver, a perfect meat cleaver, which "embellishes" the bits and pieces of life and makes life perfect.
Once there was a man in a foreign country who had to reflect on what he had done that day before going to bed every night. When he thinks that what he has done is unsatisfactory, he wants to correct it and never make the same mistake again. In this way, introspection can help us get rid of our shortcomings and move towards perfection.
Self-examination is a ladder, a ladder connecting heaven and earth, which makes you ascend to the realm of heaven.
Liu Yiqing's Shi Shuo Xin Yu describes such a person, whose name is Zhou Chu. Because he is overbearing and powerful, Yixing people regard him as one of the three evils. Later, it was said that jiaozi was killed by a tiger, and he was entangled by jiaozi. When everyone thought Zhou Chu was dead and cheered, Zhou Chu came back. When he saw people cheering, he understood everything. After some introspection, he decided to turn over a new leaf, go to Qinghe to play, and finally return to China to play and die in battle. Isn't it heaven and earth to change from a scourge in people's hearts to a loyal minister and a good soldier? Therefore, introspection can turn a person's world around.
Introspection is a tool, and it is a tool that is useless.
