Mo Yan's wisdom: a delicate balance of conceit and inferiority.
Among Mo Yan's many famous sayings, there is such a sentence that deeply touched me: "Even if you let others think that you are conceited, don't let others feel that you are inferior, because once others capture your inferiority complex and sensitive characteristics, he subconsciously wants to bully you, enslave you, and ravage you, which is the subconscious of people, just like a shark smells blood." ”
This sentence not only reveals the complexity of human nature, but also shows us Mo Yan's deep understanding of emotions and human relationships. Emotions are a complex and multidimensional concept in our lives. It is not just a simple opposition between love and hate, joy and sorrow, but a delicate balance, a wisdom that finds a balance between conceit and inferiority.
Conceit is an emotion that people often fall into. It stems from our self-esteem and self-confidence, but excessive conceit can make us arrogant and blind. However, Mo Yan reminds us that even if we make people feel conceited, it is better than being caught with low self-esteem. Because low self-esteem, like a label of weakling, will attract the attack of others. This may be why we are often more vulnerable to being hurt by others when we feel inferior.
Low self-esteem is a deep pain. It stems from our dissatisfaction with ourselves, our helplessness with life. Excessive low self-esteem can lead us into endless pain and struggle. But Mo Yan tells us that we can't let this inferiority complex manifest itself. Once others see our inferiority, they will subconsciously want to bully us, enslave us, and ravage us. It's the subconscious of man, like a shark smelling blood.
So, how do you find a balance between conceit and low self-esteem?
First, we need to learn to accept ourselves. Accept your strengths and weaknesses and accept your imperfections. Only in this way can we truly be confident and not fall into the quagmire of conceit.
Second, we need to learn to protect ourselves. Don't let others see our inferiority complex, and don't let others take advantage of our weaknesses. We need to learn to say "no" and learn to protect our rights and dignity.
Finally, we need to learn to grow. Whether it's conceit or inferiority, it's part of our growth. We need to learn from this and learn to better handle emotions and relationships. Only in this way can we go further and more steadily on the road of life.
Mo Yan's words not only gave me a deeper understanding of emotions, but also made me more aware of how to find my place in life. Whether it is to find a balance between conceit and low self-esteem, or to keep moving forward on the road of life, we need to have wisdom and courage. Only in this way can we truly live our lives and live a wonderful life.
