The debate of reading books can also be explained in this way.
There are many understandings of reading, some people in order to expand knowledge, some people in order to increase knowledge, some people in order to understand the world, some people in order to relieve confusion, some people in order to cultivate self-cultivation, some people in order to like it, some people in order to break a few taels of silver, in short, do everything possible to find the answer, in order to know yourself, others or the world, so as to be able to live a better life.
Chen Pingyuan said: "There is nothing remarkable about reading in itself. But the act of reading means that you don't fully identify with the world, you are still pursuing your personal plate, you are still not satisfied, you are still looking for another possibility, another way of life. At the end of the day, reading is a spiritual life. ”
Everyone's purpose of reading is different, but the ultimate goal is to achieve a perfect fit with the world, realize the value of life, and reflect the meaning of life.
It is precisely because we do not understand the world that we are confused, confused, anxious, and at a loss.
Reading makes us understand that from everything that happened in the past, the lack of shelter in the present, the uneasiness in the future, etc., are all manifestations of a person's inability to integrate into the world, to be unable to reconcile well with things outside the body, and that a contradictory body is suddenly stopped, and it is difficult for oneself to be left and right, so that it is not happy.
As for why this contradiction is so, it is because I am not satisfied, I can't achieve the expected goal, I can't feel the sense of steadiness and existence of my own existence, and I am bent on pursuing a perfect self.
This kind of mental torture cannot be balanced by the outside world, so we can only use reading books to resolve this contradiction, and to find and explore in books.
There is nothing unfathomable about reading, ordinary people can enjoy it, immerse themselves in it and find a route, so that their real self coincides with it.
How to do it to be more idealistic, reading books gives the answer, according to what the book says, to change yourself, to guide reality. So to what extent do you understand, what kind of practical action to do, try your best to achieve the highest standards, the realm in the book, is the embodiment of your realistic version, follow such steps to take a good road of life, experience a different way of life, it is easier for you to find the right direction, produce a sense of satisfaction, and feel physically and mentally happy.
When you integrate into the book, you learn to integrate into the world, reconcile with the world, find a place of inner peace, and take root, be born to the sun, and grow upward.
The hesitation, helplessness and sigh of the past are that I have too high standards, strict requirements for the incompetent self, completely unrealistic, let myself fall into isolation, helplessness, restlessness, dissatisfied with myself, dissatisfied with others, dissatisfied with everything around me, thinking that the whole world owes me too much, there is no cure, and I have become a complete pessimist.
Fortunately, reading books solves all kinds of helplessness and confusion, maybe only need to reveal a little bit of information or play a little role, even if it is insignificant, it is also a dawn through the darkness, enlighten yourself, soothe the soul, and think about life. It turns out that you can understand it in this way, do yourself well in this way, and live a real and wonderful life in this way.
All the grievances of the past are gone, and they are replaced by how to live and be yourself. Even if the starting point of reality is the lowest, the conditions are the worst, and the energy is the least, we must try our best to accept the ordinary, match your life, and make yourself satisfied.
Stripped of your frizzy self, removed a body of thorns, and put a completely relaxed self in the world, your horizons are getting wider and wider, and the world is getting bigger and bigger.
For the justification of reading, it can be argued in this way, connecting reading, oneself, and reality, finding a balance, looking at the past, the present and the future, which means what to have and what to give up, all the way is clearly visible, and the heart is peaceful and bright.
