    ?

    When Qin Qing said this, he paused for a moment.  Chu Lihua thought for a moment and felt quite reasonable.

    Unconsciously, he nodded repeatedly.

    ——"So, the sprained foot really hurts, and the pain is real; but nothing happened, and it is definitely not the happiness we understand, so happiness is illusory.

    Schopenhauer believes that true happiness is the kind of day when there is no pain and no worries.  So, I can answer your question just now, I am very happy.  "

    ——"Plainness is happiness, can I understand it this way?"

    Chu Lihua borrowed the phrase "True is true."

    ——"Well, Schopenhauer said, don't focus on finding and enjoying the pleasure and pleasure of life, but try to be careful and avoid the countless scourges in life."

    ——"However, some disasters cannot be avoided! Besides, is Schopenhauer's theory too negative?

    Everyone knows that if you want to get something, you must work hard.  For example, if you don't work hard this month, your performance will not increase, and your achievements will not be raised.  With less income, how can I enjoy life?  "

    Chu Lihua felt that Qin Qing was a bit too comprehensive.  He also agrees with this negative thinking.

    ——"This is how ordinary people understand it. To understand the difference between Schopenhauer's views and our cognition, I have to explain the basis of Schopenhauer's philosophical thinking.

    Schopenhauer believes that the root of suffering in life is that people have desires.  As long as desire exists, human beings must suffer.

    For example: a newborn baby is very happy as long as he has something to eat, some to sleep, not too cold or too hot, and is held by his mother.  That's because babies don't have as many desires as adults.

    Schopenhauer said that the pain a person feels is directly proportional to the depth of his desire to live.  The stronger the desire to survive, the more painful it is.

    There is only one way to get rid of pain, which is to abandon desires, think about nothing, and pursue nothing.

    Of course, it is impossible to really think about and pursue nothing.

    Schopenhauer also taught us what to think and do in the face of reality and specific life.

    Regarding "how to think", there are actually several attitudes that need to be corrected, including people's attitudes towards themselves and others.  Correct these attitudes, our desires will become reasonable, and the pain will be reduced a lot.  "

    ——"You need to have a correct attitude? How can you correct the law? Do you have no desires and no desires? How can society continue to develop?"

    It's not that Chu Lihua insists on growing up, but that if she really wants to have no desires, then wouldn't that be escaping into Buddhism.

    ——"Let's take it step by step first. The first attitude that needs to be adjusted is how people should view themselves.

    First of all, people must recognize the general context of the overall development of their lives, as well as their own plans.

    For example, a worker involved in the construction of a building does not know the overall plan of the building. He only needs to tighten the screws on the steel beam. As for the position and function of the steel beam in the whole building, he does not need to know.

    However, if there is a worker, when he twists each screw and lays each brick, he knows which steel beam and which wall this screw and this brick are on.

    This steel beam or wall is in which room on which floor.  Where is this room in the building and what function does it play.

    In this way, you will have specific tasks in your hands and a complete picture of the building in your mind.  It is only a matter of time before such hard-working workers are promoted and reused.  "

    Chu Lihua suddenly understood that it was also a story of three construction workers.

    Three builders were building a wall, and a passer-by asked the first builder what he was doing.  The answer said: "Didn't you see? They are building a wall."

    Ask the second construction worker again, he thought for a while and said, "I'm building a building."

    And the third construction worker's answer was, "I'm building a new city."

    So, many years later, the first construction worker is still building walls, the second is already a well-known contractor, and the third is the boss of a large construction company.

    This is the gap.  The gap between thinking and thinking when doing things.

    Chu Lihua felt that the "placebo effect" mentioned by Qin Qing before had the same effect.  As long as you think about where you want to be, you will eventually become what you want.

    ——"Mr. Qin, I understand, what about the second one?"

    Chu Lihua, who understood, became more and more hungry——

    ??No hurry, the example just now, presumably, you already have your own understanding.  But we also need to know how great men understand it.

    As far as the example just now is concerned.  Schopenhauer's understanding is that people must learn to "know themselves", that is, to understand their most important wishes.

    At the same time, he should also have a general understanding of what occupation he should be engaged in, what role he needs to play, and what relationship he has with the world.

    This means that we should not only lower our heads to work hard, but also occasionally raise our heads to look at the distant goal, so as to ensure that our pace is moving in a straight line towards the goal.

    Otherwise, I just know how to work hard, and after walking a long way, I suddenly saw that I had taken a long detour.  It is too late to regret.  "

    Sure enough, it was much deeper than what I understood.

    After meeting for a while, Chu Lihua nodded slowly.  Qin Qing knew that it was understood.

    Only then did I go on to answer the second question she raised just now.

    ——"Another way to look at yourself is to live in the moment.

    Schopenhauer suggested that we forget about the past, focus on the present and plan for the future, so that the three can reach a balance without interfering with each other.

    So how does it count as interference?  Continuing with the previous example: Some people only know how to keep their heads down and work hard. After walking for a long time, they suddenly find that they are going the wrong way.  .

    Others often worry about possible disasters in the future.  For example, will house prices fall in the future, and should I sell the house I bought the year before last.

    If there is an economic crisis, should I hold monetary assets or physical assets?  What if a family member gets cancer in the future?  Etc., etc.

    If you think about these disasters that didn't happen all day long, then don't even think about living your life.

    Schopenhauer said that those disasters that are not sure whether they will happen, or when they will happen, we can completely regard them as never happening.

    If you don't do this, you are exchanging the pain of life in advance, and taking the troubles of the future to consume today.

    He feels that the best way is to accept the present with pleasure, and consciously enjoy every tolerable present moment without worries and pains.  "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
