JaneLove: Love yourself and practice for a lifetime.
200 years ago, Britain was known as the world's industrial power, but the social status of women was far less high than that of its industrial achievements. At that time, men were the main labor force, and the main duty of women was to marry a good man.
Most of the goals of women are to marry a man who is rich or powerful, and even if they are not rich women, they can gain wealth and status through marriage. This ethos is also reflected in the community of women writers.
Although there are women writers, they are often accused of immorality and deviance. In the opinion of some people, women should take care of their children at home and be a housewife wholeheartedly.
Charlotte Brontë, however, is an example of rebellion against this view. Jane Eyre is the autobiography of her rebellion, a testimony to her successful rebellion, and her journey to self-growth and learning to love herself.
The most important practice in life is to learn to love yourself.
Jane Eyre's childhood was not smooth, she was fostered in the home of Uncle Reed after her father's death, but because of her uncle's death, she was abused by her aunt and locked up in a small dark room, where she was treated worse than a servant.
Her cousins also sneered at her, but Jane Eyre remained resilient and courageous. After that, she entered school, and although life was hard, she gradually learned many skills, whether it was painting or playing the piano, at a very high level.
Although her appearance is not outstanding, she is not tall, not white, and her appearance is average, but she has self-esteem, self-love, and self-confidence, and knows that only by making herself good enough can she have the ability to love herself.
In this cruel world, she understands that if women can't find other ways out, then marrying may be the only option.
Free and independent love is the spiritual and material protection of the self. You can't rely on people for everything, because their loss may make you lose your trust. Jane Eyre is an independent woman, spiritually not dependent on anyone, kind but with her own bottom line.
She stands for her dignity and values, and protects herself no matter how old she gets. Materially, she also sticks to herself and does not grieve her heart because of material things.
In her school life, which she suffered from abuse and hardship, she never changed herself because of material things. True love for oneself is not material enjoyment, but to maintain self-confidence in any situation and not change oneself due to external influences.
After becoming a governess, Jane Eyre became acquainted with Rochester. Rochester owned a estate, and Jane Eyre had the privilege of being his tutor. Although Rochester's status was higher than that of Jane Eyre, Jane Eyre did not feel inferior because of this, but talked to Rochester cordially.
Rochester tells the story of his life. Love can sometimes blind people and even make them lose themselves. In terms of identity, Rochester was a wealthy gentleman, while Jane Eyre came from a poor family and was his employee.
However, Jane ** fell in love with Rochester, and Rochester fell in love with Jane Eyre, and they decided to enter the palace of marriage.
Jane Eyre: I chose to leave because love is not deception Faced with Rochester's retention, Jane Eyre firmly chose to leave. She could not accept the fact that Rochester had concealed the fact of his marriage, despite the fact that she loved him dearly.
In Jane Eyre's view, people should be equal to each other, regardless of their status, status, or appearance. She firmly believes that true love should be based on honesty and respect.
Jane Eyre was an independent, strong, principled person. She wants to be a person who can make her own decisions about her own life, rather than being at the mercy of others. She insists on being herself and will not change herself because of other people's opinions or evaluations.
Jane Eyre believes that people are their own, and only by loving themselves first can we love others better. The story of Jane Eyre teaches us that to truly love ourselves is to be who we want to be, to stick to our principles and values, and not to be influenced by the outside world.
Only in this way can we have true happiness and freedom.
After leaving Rochester, Jane Eyre had a difficult life and even had to beg for a living. But she was taken in by a priest and found a job teaching at a country school.
Fate didn't seem to be kind to her, but it also gave her an unexpected kindness. Jane Eyre's uncle left her an inheritance, and the priest who took her in happened to be her cousin.
Although this money could give her a better life, she chose to divide it equally with her cousin. She is not stupid, but knows how to truly love herself. Some people spend their energy for money, but they just love money and put themselves under the bondage of money.
Loving yourself is not only about valuing money, but also about maintaining a detached attitude towards money. To truly love oneself is not to be willing to be a material slave, but to have the most extravagant love for oneself.
Those who love money, comparison, and vanity don't really love themselves.
Jane Eyre's love is not only for herself, but also for her courage to forgive the past. Her former aunt wanted her forgiveness, but she didn't dwell on the pain and tears of the past.
Despite being abused and discriminated against by her aunt, her pain is beyond words. However, when the person who had hurt her asked for forgiveness, she chose to forgive and lived calmly, waiting for the last moments of her life.
She believes that life is too short to hold grudges, and that in life, everyone will make mistakes, but we will die soon. So, she never retaliated and never thought life was unfair.
She lives in peace because she understands that letting go of the past and forgiving others is the most important practice of loving herself. Neither past experiences nor those who have hurt us can be changed.
Revenge will only make us suffer ourselves, and those who truly know how to love themselves will choose to let go. Instead of dwelling on the hatred of the past, it is better to love the present and look forward to the future.
In the journey of life, we are all enjoying the experience of loving and being loved. It is a privilege to be loved, and the ability to love others is a skill. Someone once said, "I aspire to be a gentle person because I have experienced the beauty of being treated gently." ”
At the same time, we learn to love others, and naturally there will be people who are willing to love us. And the first step in learning to love others is to learn to love yourself. If a person does not know how to love himself, how can he love others?
True practice is to know how to love yourself!
