Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge Mr. Lin Yutang once said, "Most people don't become cynics because most people aren't philosophers." This sentence touched me deeply and made me think about the meaning and value of life. The word cynic, which is not common in modern society, has a deep meaning. Cynics refer to those who have a playful attitude towards life, do not stick to conventions, and are not bound by the world. They pursue freedom, they seek authenticity, they pursue themselves. However, such people are rare, because they need to have enough courage and wisdom to challenge the established rules and pursue their ideals.
So why don't most people become cynics?Mr. Lin Yutang gave the answer: "Because most people are not philosophers. "A philosopher is someone who has studied deeply, the universe, existence, and so on. They have a deep knowledge reserve, keen insight, and independent thinking ability. They are able to see things that most people can't see and understand things that most people can't.
The philosopher's way of thinking allows them to transcend the constraints of the world and pursue their true selves. The depth and breadth of their thinking allows them to see the diversity and complexity of life and thus choose a more liberal way of life.
And most people, due to the lack of such thinking ability and vision, can often only be bound by the rules of the world, unable to truly pursue themselves.
However, that doesn't mean we can't be cynics. Although we may not have the in-depth knowledge and independent thinking ability of philosophers, we can gradually improve the depth and breadth of our thinking through learning Xi and practice. We can improve our philosophical literacy by reading philosophy books, participating in philosophical discussions, and even creating philosophical works.
At the same time, we can also challenge established rules and pursue our true selves by reflecting on our own lives. We can choose a freer way of life, free from the constraints of the world, and live our own way.
In general, becoming a cynic is not an easy task, it requires us to have enough courage and wisdom to challenge the established rules and pursue our ideals. However, as long as we are willing to learn Xi, practice, and reflect, we have the potential to become true cynics. Because, everyone has the potential to be a philosopher, and everyone has the potential to be a cynic.
