In the sea of language, each word has its own unique charm and connotation.
Today, what we want is an Internet buzzword - "stinky feet".
This word originates from the Northern Song Dynasty, when the Song Dynasty Shenzong let the eunuch Li Xian patrol the border, the border army heard that Li Xian's feet were very smelly, but they rushed to wash his feet first, and when he took off his boots and held his feet, he often sniffed it first and then exclaimed: "The feet of the Taiwei, how fragrant!."”
This kind of behavior ignores the truth, slaps the swollen face and becomes fat, and also wants to flatter and flatter the flattery.
The term "stinky feet" has been widely spread on the Internet and has become a phenomenon-level expression.
It vividly depicts a kind of person who knows that the favored party is wrong (the feet are smelly), and wants to do everything possible to say that it is right;Knowing that the skills of the praised party are not very good (the feet are smelly), he still has to promote the behavior of applauding.
This kind of behavior is not uncommon in real life, and it reflects the tendency of people to compromise, pander, or even flatter when faced with power, status, and interests.
Behind this phenomenon, there is a deep psychological mechanism at work.
When people face authority, they often have a kind of awe, which makes them often choose to be obedient to not question when facing the mistakes of authority.
This kind of submissive psychology helps to maintain social order to a certain extent, but excessive submissive psychology may lead people to lose the ability to think independently and become a group of blind followers.
In this era of information, each of us needs to have the ability to think independently in order to keep a clear head in the complex information.
However, the reality is that many people, when faced with authority, often choose to abandon their independent thinking and instead pander and flatter authority.
To a certain extent, this phenomenon weakens people's ability to think independently, so that they are often unable to make correct judgments when facing problems.
So, how to avoid falling into the psychological trap of "stinky feet"?First of all, we need to establish the right values.
A mature society should encourage independent thinking, not blind following.
We should dare to question authority and express our opinions, rather than blindly pandering and flattering.
Only in this way can we maintain our independent personality and become a thoughtful and assertive person in this era full of competition and challenges.
We need to improve our knowledge.
The higher the level of knowledge a person, the greater his ability to think independently.
Because knowledge broadens our horizons and enables us to look at problems from a higher perspective.
Only with sufficient knowledge can we make correct judgments and decisions when facing problems.
We need to develop our own critical thinking skills.
Critical thinking ability refers to the ability to analyze and evaluate problems independently, objectively, and rationally when faced with them.
People with critical thinking skills will not blindly follow authority when confronted with authority, but will distinguish right from wrong through their own thinking.
Only in this way can we avoid falling into the psychological trap of "holding stinky feet" and become a person with the ability to think independently.
Although the term "stinky feet" originated in ancient times, the phenomenon it reflects still exists in real life.
We need to face up to this problem and avoid falling into the psychological trap of "holding stinky feet" by improving our values, knowledge and critical thinking skills, and become a person with independent thinking ability.
Only in this way can we maintain our independent personality and become a thoughtful and assertive person in this era full of competition and challenges.
