Wang Rongyun: "Ji Kang has lived for 20 years, and he has never tasted his joy and sorrow. ”
Wang Rong said: "I have been with Ji Kang for more than 20 years, and I have never seen him have a happy or angry expression. ”
Ji Kang and Ruan Sizong, two celebrities who lived in the same era, their attitudes towards the world seemed so deep and introverted. They are not very happy and angry, they speak cautiously, they do not easily express their emotions, and they do not easily comment on the rights and wrongs of others. This attitude is not accidental, but a survival strategy that they had to adopt in order to protect themselves in that era of political turmoil and social environment.
In that era, saying the wrong word or expressing the wrong love could lead to death. Therefore, they have chosen to hide their true attitude as a way to avoid unnecessary troubles and disasters. This choice, although it seems negative, is actually full of wisdom and courage. Because they clearly know that people and society are inseparable from each other, and our behaviors and attitudes are often restricted and influenced by the general environment.
However, Ji Kang's lack of anger and sadness is not only because he recognizes the situation, but also because of his personal cultivation. He was able to hide his personal joys, sorrows, and sorrows so deeply, which shows that he has seen through the joys and sorrows of the world, has transcended personal emotional constraints, and has reached a transcendent realm. This kind of state is not something that everyone can achieve, and it requires extremely high wisdom and profound cultivation.
The story of Ji Kang and Ruan Si Zong tells us that being a human being is not an easy task. We need to be vigilant about our words and actions at all times, so as not to invite unnecessary trouble because of impulse. At the same time, we also need to constantly improve our self-cultivation and wisdom in order to better cope with various challenges and difficulties in life. Only in this way can we truly "not be happy with things, not be sad with ourselves" and live a true self.
