Everyone's dream when they were young was to be heroes when they grew up, and over time, our dreams changed.
I wanted to save the world, but later I realized that it would be nice to be able to save myself.
I thought it would be good to save myself, but in the end I found that even saving myself was an extremely difficult and painful thing.
Most of us feel that we are not successful in life, because our definition of success is two words: rich (buy a car and buy a house, win Bai Fumei or marry a rich second generation, from then on worry-free food and clothing, buy things without looking **, eat what you want, buy what you want, go to the peak of life, and become the best one among your classmates. ）
Then we found out that is hard to eat, and money is hard to earn!
When we were children, our definition of success was: landing on the moon, going to outer space, inventing rockets, building airplanes and tanks to defend the country, and inventing new medicines to benefit mankind.
I used to think about crossing people, it was to make contributions, and when I grew up, I thought about how to satisfy my material desires, not that we are not motivated, but this society is like this, we are one of the members who follow the army of thousands of caterpillars from the beginning to the end of life, so our pursuit has changed from different to the same.
After all, we are going to live in an army of "caterpillars", and we can't go to the mountains and old forests to live alone.
In modern social life, if you roll me up, if you are smart, then I will catch up with you with diligence, and if you are diligent, I will defeat you with more diligence.
However, there is limited space at the top of the pyramid, and there are only a limited number of people who can be the best.
These people are either talented, or so diligent that ordinary people do not have perseverance and perseverance, or the accumulation of several generations of illustrious families, we who were ordinary at the beginning of our lives, are often just as ordinary at the end of our lives.
At most, with hard work, we eat a little better than our parents and can afford to wear brands, but this is also given to us by the changes of the times, not how outstanding our personal ability is.
So, most of us, are unsuccessful.
So we're sullen!
Some people are depressed, and some people are still looking forward to hope, just like the sentence in "The Story of the Mountain and the Moon": I am deeply afraid that I am not a beautiful jade, so I dare not study it hard, but I half-believe that I am a beautiful jade, so I refuse to be mediocre and be with the rubble. Thus I gradually detached myself from the mortal world and alienated myself from the world, and as a result, resentment and shame grew into a cowardly self-esteem in my heart.
The days began to get painful and tormenting!
It seems that we tried very hard, but we just didn't succeed, but let's give up on ourselves completely, and we are not so willing.
Looking at history, in fact, there is one person who can best understand this situation, and that person is Cao Zhi.
Many people's understanding of Cao Zhi is probably the sentence in the seven-step poem he wrote, "It is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?"."At that time, Cao Pi wanted to kill him, if he didn't write a poem in seven steps, he would lose his head, you can say that he was extraordinary, but anyone who has read history knows that he is completely talented.
Cao Zhi has been a great genius since he was a child, Cao Cao likes his third son very much, and even in the establishment of the prince, Cao Cao prefers Cao Zhi rather than the eldest son Cao Pi (in ancient times, they were all young and orderly, and the eldest son was generally established as the prince, and Zhu Yuanzhang also set up his eldest son Zhu Biao as the prince, but Zhu Biao did not live his own son. ）
And at that time, Cao Zhi did have the ability to become the crown prince.
First of all, he is smart, among Cao Cao's four children, he is the highest literary achievement, when the Tongque Terrace was repaired, Cao Zhi wrote "Dengtai Fu" in one go, the rhetoric is gorgeous, the sentences are ups and downs, and his brother and brother are not as good as him at all;Secondly, he has followers, and some people are willing to support him as the crown prince, which also takes up the condition of "harmony";Moreover, Cao Cao likes him, and the importance of this is self-evident;In the end, when Cao Cao was seriously ill, his second brother had already told him on a front that he wanted to make him the prince (as long as you agree, you are the prince), but ......He refused.
With a good background, a high level of education, and a good family condition, Cao Zhi is stronger than many of us, but his life only stopped at the age of 41, and in the past 40 years, he has not been carefree, happy and happy every day, because he always has to watch out for his brother's calculations, and if he doesn't pay attention, he will lose his head.
Perhaps Cao Zhi's ideal in life is to eat and drink, travel in the mountains and rivers, write poems, and see beautiful women, his family conditions can do all this, but he can't do this.
You say you have no ambition, your brother who became the emperor letters?
He will only feel that you are paralyzing him, ready to bite him at any time, who in the world does not want to be an emperor?Who doesn't want to be the supreme ruler?How could Cao Pi believe that Cao Zhi had no ambitions, he would only think that Cao Zhi was not as good as himself and could calculate.
However, a person who can write poems that are born from the same root and fry each other is too anxious, in fact, you can get a glimpse of his heart is very eager for harmonious brotherhood. Some people are born to value family affection more than rights, but people who value rights more than family affection don't believe it.
What to do?Cao Zhi can only follow the torrent of the times, ups and downs, was calculated by Cao Pi in the early stage, and almost died, and later Cao Pi's son Cao Ei became the emperor, Cao Zhi is very good to this nephew, but this nephew just doesn't reuse him (because when Cao Pi died, someone wanted Cao Zhi to be the emperor, Cao Ei was on guard against his uncle, and it was a favor if he didn't kill him, how could he reuse him).
Cao Zhi has moved many times, and he doesn't seem to be able to live as he longs for in his life.
Look, people who grew up in Rome are so miserable, we may not even be able to get to Rome, why torture ourselves all the time?
Looking down, looking away is what I often comfort myself, life is very short, the older I live, the more I feel how short life is, and the more I feel that life is just about eating and drinking. None of us can do anything thrilling, but if we can be full and happy every day of our lives, it is actually a kind of success in life.
Like and follow**, bow and thank!
