More and more people choose to lie flat after involution. Just as terrible as the poverty of wealth is the poverty of thought, there is no silver in the pocket, there is no thought in the head, this is the complete lying flat. The society has entered the era of mediocrity, mediocrity has become the majority, and you and I are ordinary mediocre people. Ideas are as scarce as wealth, and they are owned by a very few.
What is the biggest distress of mediocrity?
Schopenhauer once said a very incisive passage that the greatest affliction of philistines is that they have no interest in thought, and in order to escape boredom, they can only constantly pursue realistic things. Unfortunately, the "reality" is either unsatisfactory - once exhausted, people will feel burnout, or it is quite dangerous and infinitely harmful.
has no interest in thoughts, the reality is unsatisfactory, and the body and mind fall into inexplicable burnout, which is also the true portrayal of the current mediocrity.
By nature, the majority of the crowd has the desire to become a very small minority, and the so-called very small number is the elite. A person who achieves financial freedom by his own efforts will be called an elite, a well-educated person with profound thoughts and knowledge is also an elite, and a person with wealth in his hands and talent in his brain is an elite among the elite. But in any case, the elite is a very small minority, and the majority still has to be subsumed into the majority.
In addition to the elite and mediocre, there are also very few people in this world, the wicked. Either the wicked are naturally evil, and according to their speculative and selfish nature, they not only oppose the good, but also chase and beat other wicked people, and such wicked people have their own original sin. More wicked people are still metamorphosed from the philistine, which is what Schopenhauer called "either quite dangerous and infinitely harmful".
Nowadays, everyone is in the ever-changing information age, and in the face of the confusion of value orientation choice, it is easy for some mediocre people to go to the extreme, unconsciously become evildoers, compared to those who are originally evildoers, these people transformed by mediocrity become stupid and bad.
The elite is not monolithic, and the wicked among them are not uncommon, which can be described as a very small minority, but enough to deal a huge blow to the majority. The evil of the elite, the topic is sensitive, and it will no longer be expanded.
The elite and the wicked are two very few, and the mediocre people are the majority in real life. Compared with the complexity and staggered entry and exit of the proud world, it may be the normal state of life to be out of the crowd, and being a good mediocre person is also a good life goal.
