"Those who have not cried for a long night are not enough to talk about life. ”
Thomas Carlyle
Suffering, or experiencing suffering, is an extreme experience of life. It can break a person's existing perception of the world and force people to face the truest and cruelest side of life. In this process, the person's psychological defense mechanism will be broken, and the originally suppressed emotions and desires will emerge, demanding to be expressed and satisfied. This emotional impact and cognitive subversion will lead to a new understanding of self and the world.
However, not all who have experienced suffering will become profound. Some will sink in misery, into endless despair and nothingness; Others, on the other hand, will find new meaning and value in suffering, so as to achieve self-transcendence. The key to this lies in how individuals deal with and transform these experiences of suffering.
There is a concept in psychology called ".Post-traumatic growthIt refers to the process by which a person experiences trauma or suffering through reflection and learning to achieve personal growth and transformation. This process is not all smooth sailing, and it requires people to have enough courage and wisdom to face their own pain and to discover the meaning and value behind it. Only in this way can people achieve self-transcendence in the midst of suffering, and can they become more profound in their thinking.
In the TV series "Alive", Fugui's life has undergone an extreme transformation from heaven to hell, from rich to poor, from happiness to misery. This experience of suffering gave him a new understanding of life. He no longer pursued superficial glory and wealth, but began to focus on the essence and meaning of life. He learned to cherish the people and things in front of him, and learned to be grateful for every moment in life. His perspective on life has also expanded from personal gains and losses to a broader social and historical level. This transformation did not happen overnight, but was gradually achieved through reflection and learning after experiencing hardship.
Of course, we can't ignore those who are sinking in suffering. They may fall into despair and nothingness because they cannot bear the impact of suffering, or they may feel lost and helpless because they cannot find the meaning and value behind suffering. These people need more attention and support to help them get out of their difficult situation and rediscover the meaning and value of life.
Also, sometimes, people become more restrained and deep after going through hardship. They may no longer be willing to express their emotions and thoughts easily, but are more inclined to reflect and realize them in the depths of their hearts. Such restraint and profundity are not the same as ideological profundity, but they do make it possible to be profound. Because these people have begun to look inward for answers, rather than relying solely on the outside world for their own needs and desires. They begin to pay attention to their inner voice and begin to listen to the call of their souls. This introverted attention and listening will give them a deeper understanding of themselves and the world.
In addition to its impact on an individual level, suffering can have profound social and historical implications. Those who have experienced suffering often have a special imprint in their thoughts and actions, which is not only a reflection of personal experience, but also a witness and reflection on society and history as a whole. Their thoughts and behaviors may become objects for future generations to learn from and learn from, and they may also become an important force for promoting social progress and historical development.
So, the more people who suffer are likely to become more profound in their thinking, but this is not an inevitable consequence. It depends on how the individual processes and transforms the experience of suffering, and how he finds new meaning and value in suffering. For those who are able to achieve self-transcendence in the midst of suffering, their perspective on life will undoubtedly have a depth and breadth that is unique because of the suffering they have endured; And for those who are unable to process and transform the experience of suffering, they may fall into deeper distress and confusion. Therefore, we should not simply see suffering as a necessary path to profundity, but rather as its complexity and multifaceted nature in personal growth.
In closing, I would like to say that whether we have experienced suffering or not, we should strive for a deep understanding of life. This understanding is not only a recognition of self and the world, but also a kind of awe and respect for life and humanity. Only with this deep understanding can we better face the challenges and difficulties in life, and better realize our self-worth and social value.
