Chapter 1838 True Self II
No matter what it is, on the road to pursuing the true self...
Freedom is an indispensable factor!
Only by maintaining absolute freedom can people pursue their own path, truly realize themselves, and truly calculate the pursuit of their true self...
Of course, the concept of freedom itself is very broad...
Someone once said that the so-called freedom does not mean that you can do whatever you want, but that you can do whatever you don’t want to do...
From a certain perspective, this concept does indeed reflect a certain degree of freedom...
However, in a sense, such freedom can only be regarded as the most basic freedom...
Freedom itself can also be divided into different levels...
The more people living in the social pyramids are, the less they lack enough freedom...
They can only live according to a fixed life trajectory...
Most of the time, their life trajectory and their family background will show a matching state...
Only a very small number of people may break away from the life trajectory given by fate and embark on another completely different life path...
Just like girls in rural areas, most of the time, theirs are often fixed. Although they had the opportunity to study when they were young, once their families could not afford the tuition, they had to drop out early and leave the opportunity to study to their brothers or younger brothers. They could only start farming or working. Then, before their brothers or younger brothers got married, they would be betrothed by their parents to a man they didn’t know each other in exchange for a relatively generous dowry to ensure the marriage life of their brothers…
Many times, such a life trajectory is unavailable for people to choose...
Most people who are in this limited life trajectory have no right to choose. When they first go with the flow, they no longer have the possibility of dominating their own destiny...
Their lives can only be spent time and time again and again with no choice...
On the contrary, compared with those families living in poor areas, those families living in cities often have more choices. When deciding on work and life trajectory, they often have more autonomy. Perhaps they cannot decide what kind of life they will live in the future, but at least they can decide what kind of life they will never go to...
Although you cannot choose, at least some choices can be rejected. Compared with children from poor families, this is certainly a kind of freedom!
In fact, from a social perspective, the so-called freedom is actually just that...
It’s not possible to choose what to do, but at least it’s possible to choose what not to do...
However, such freedom is still a thousand miles away from the true freedom!
The reason is very simple...
Although being able to choose not to do something can be regarded as freedom at the basic level, this freedom itself is still selective...
Just like for a wealthy lady, political marriage is almost inevitable...
Of course, they can choose to exclude several absolutely unacceptable objects from the joint ventures, but they cannot and cannot deny the political marriage itself...
They can decide what they don’t marry, but they can’t decide who they marry, and they can’t choose to give up their marriage!
From this perspective, such freedom is actually incomplete freedom!
Of course, being able to have such freedom is actually something that many people are envious!
It’s like a university graduate in a city. They can’t do some jobs, but they can’t do it. The former is their choice, while the latter is what they have to do...
Compared with those workers who have to work to bear the family, being able to have such choices and such freedoms is considered an enviable thing...
In fact, most ordinary people are at this stage...
Yes, most young people in the city belong to this stage. They can decide not to do something themselves and set some insurmountable bottom lines and principles for themselves, but they must not spend time at home and wait for death. Whether it is material conditions or social pressure, they will encourage them to rely on themselves and find a job, otherwise they will easily be looked down upon and think that it is a manifestation of incompetence...
However, such freedom is far from enough!
The so-called pursuit of the true self and the so-called realization of the self require more than this level of freedom!
If you want to find your own path in a true sense, then whether it is wealth or physical health, it is an indispensable part...
Because only those who have wealth and health have the qualifications to be willful!
The so-called money and willfulness, but not money to appoint, to a certain extent, is just such a truth...
Only rich people who are not troubled by wealth can do whatever they want, and only rich people will not cause trouble to others because of their willfulness...
In fact, only willfulness that does not cause trouble to others can be regarded as the true pursuit of oneself...
Otherwise, it is nothing more than incompetence and mediocrity...
The state of being able to do it is actually similar to being unable to do it, but there is an essential difference between the two!
The former can be regarded as a true hermit, while the latter is an incompetent mediocre...
The former is the object of moral integrity that makes people admire, while the latter only makes people look down on it...
In fact, there is nothing wrong with many people’s dreams or *…
No matter how absurd dream or how debauchery it is, it is not a mistake in essence...
It’s just that whether it’s dream or *, if you want to realize it, you must have the most basic material conditions as the basis!
This is beyond doubt!
Any dreams and * based on material foundations are just daydreaming!
Any dreams and * that try to let others help you realize will be just a castle in the air in the end!
Yes, it's just a castle in the sky!
The more difficult it is to pursue something, the more cost and time it takes to realize this dream, and the higher the material living standard required. This is a matter of course...
It is naturally a rare and admirable thing for a person to rely on his own efforts to realize his dream...
However, if a person's way of realizing his dream is to ask for ungratefulness, then this method will inevitably make people despise him!
If you want to dream freely, then having a basic material foundation is actually a very necessary element!
Dreams are never something that can be realized out of thin air!
Yes!
Dreams are never something that can be realized out of thin air!
In this world, no success will be a lucky draw...
Any loser may fail for various reasons, but successful ones will never succeed because of luck. This is absolutely inevitable...
Realizing your dream is actually the same...
Those who can abandon everything for their dreams are actually not pursuing dreams in the true sense, but are more like an ostrich immersed in their own world, burying their heads in the sand and not looking at the world around them at all. Such people are despicable and not worthy of admiration...
Those who use the name of their own dreams to destroy other people's lives, such dreams are just nightmares in the end!
Just like many young people, when they cheat on their partners, and when they act as mistresses for other people, they always say with confidence that it is because of love...
However, love is never something that exists independently!
Love can never be pure!
Love will always contain responsibility and mission!
Those who have abandoned their responsibilities and mission in love are in a sense not qualified to talk about so-called love!
Many young people, even some well-known literati in history, have the habit of getting tired of the new and getting tired of the old. They always beautify their behavior and say that such behavior is a manifestation of love. In the final analysis, they are just hooligans wearing love skins...
In a sense, dreams and love are actually the same...
Only those who can afford dreams and love are qualified to talk about dreams and love...
And the so-called affordable...
It's actually very easy to understand...
That is, when you are pursuing your dreams, the people around you will not be contemptuous and insulted by others because of your behavior. Your pursuing your dreams will not bring trouble and burden to your family and friends. This is what is truly freedom!
Let me give you a simple example...
The same two people want to learn music and embark on the road of music...
The former works hard to work alone in the big city, live silently in the basement, silently go to the bar to sing, and silently accumulate your strength...
The latter is trying hard to ask for money from parents who are struggling to live in poverty, trying to use this money to realize their "dreams"...
After all, these are two completely different attitudes to life!
The former is really working hard for one's dream. Perhaps the final result is not necessarily good, but it is on the right path...
The latter, from the first step of the start, is destined to be wrong, so it is impossible to go far no matter what!
If you want to be able to pursue your true self in a true sense, you must first get rid of the oppression and influence of reality on yourself...
The most fundamental factor in getting rid of the impact of reality on oneself is to have enough wealth and a healthy body!
