[Financial Freedom] In fact, the world have life

Anthropologists and psychologists have long noticed this fact:

If a concept does not exist in a culture, then the "objective existence" in that culture "subjectively does not exist", that is, people in that culture do not have any sense of the objective existence. On the contrary, if a concept exists, even if it is not an objective existence, people can still be perceived subjectively.

In fact, this is easy to understand. Don't say a single culture, the entire world is the same. Before you can imagine the clear concept of "acceleration of gravity," the whole human being cannot perceive what is existed since ancient times (gravitational acceleration).

Don't think this has anything to do with IQ. Aristotle is not stupid? However, he did not know the concept of "acceleration of gravity," and he think (only by feeling) that when feathers and shot put dropped from the same height, "surely" the shot put drop on the ground first; as for the reasons, "obviously." , The shot put weight is greater! After more than a thousand years, Galileo dropped two shot puts from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was only discovered that the two shots with very different weights “fall” at the same time! Well, there is a leaning tower in the city where the smart people live. This probability is really low enough... No wonder have to wait for more than a thousand years.

In turn, there are countless examples in human history that can prove:

A lot of things that do not exist objectively, because there is a concept in subjectively, it is like the "real existence" of that thing.

For example, a concept that has not existed for a long time now: "Phosphorine." At that time, people didn't know that the burning of oxygen was the main function of oxygen in the air. Therefore, there was an invisible thing in the house that could be burned. Then it took a name out of the air and called it "Phosphorine."

For another example, in our culture, people can perceive something that does not actually exist and “Shang Huo（上火）”. Another example is ... To unfold the wings of your imagination, you can hit all kinds of bizarre concepts at any time. Although objectively does not exist, but many people can be subjectively and realistically feel....

A particularly extreme example is: Love - you can imagine how many people will oppose, and even almost certainly include you and me - which is why other extremely cool people eventually chose to retain some of the root causes of hallucinations.

Come back, to tell you something clearly today, it is equivalent to implanting a new concept:

The world we live in is not just an objective existence of coldness. The world is alive. It may even have a soul... How do you treat it, how it treats you. And, it can actually be such a miracle: it can always prove to you that you are right, even if you are in fact erroneous.

If you don't know this concept, then the world is like "You shouldn't know it." If you know the concept, then the world will continue as if you should have known it already. Still development... Amazing?

It's magical - before that, your world seems to be completely indifferent to you; after that, your world is alive and responsive to you.

I have had a friend because Luo Yonghao only met friends. He grew up with him. The person's name was Jin Guang. I have not seen him for many years now. Although he is not the person I really like, and therefore we have never been really good friends, but only a common friend. But it is strange that I actually learned two important principles in him. Let's talk about one today, and we'll mention another one later.

When I was in high school, he had already been in the society, in those years, a large number of people went abroad to work and make money. At that time, doing hard labor abroad could earn more than one hundred thousand RMB a year, which is equivalent to a domestic income of 20 to 30 times... For many people, this It is simply unimaginable attraction. So, like many young people, Jin Guang went abroad to work. He went to be a seafarer. Do not imagine you know, it must be hard work. But when he returned, those two years, from his mouth, it became "a legendary experience of traveling the world." This is also easy to understand.

However, Luo Yonghao and I have noticed one detail. Jin Guang met many good people along the way. In Amsterdam, he wanted to call home, but found himself haven't a coin, the language so poor, do not know where to change coins... Is in a hurry, passing a couple, asked him how it was, couldn't understand a word, but hand gestures for a long time. The other person even understood it. He gestured for him to wait. He came back for a while and gave lots of coins to Jin Guang. One week, Jin Guang called home every day and those coins were not used up.

There are so many things like this. After several parties, Jin Guang can tell another shocking experience of meeting good people...

The details I noticed with Luo Yonghao are not the experience of a good man, but at the same time, we have another friend who also went abroad to work, and also went on a boat trip around the world. Come back and tell us about the road. Have countless unimaginable bad guys... This person and Jin Guang are actually before and after, and it is actually the same route!

Luo Yonghao and I were stunned. The final conclusion is consistent:

Maybe it should be like this? What kind of people are living in what kind of world.

If you are a good person, the world will be kind to you. If you are a bad person, the world will be a little worse for you. But how can it be?! Many years later, when I learned a concept, I finally understood this phenomenon thoroughly. This concept is called Self-fulfilling Prophecy - this is an important concept, but there is not enough space here, so please check it yourself, explore, understand, and apply it. (as a matter of fact, "time as a friend" has been discussed in great length.)

Sometimes you will encounter this kind of situation:

Someone made a decision, and as a result, hurt your interests.

Then, you can't help thinking:

They obviously intentional! They are against me! They are...

Not only you, but almost everyone will "think so naturally" ... but it may not be the case. It's very simple, you think about yourself, be honest with yourself, think about it, don't you yourself have made a decision to carelessly hurt the interests of others? There must have been ah! You really are not intentional! When you find that your decision hurts the interests of others, you will also feel guilty! Isn't it? So, is it possible for them to be the same as you once? it's should like the same.

If you can think of this layer, you will naturally make a reasonable response:

1. Tell the other party, what kind of loss (not exaggeration, not concealment) has taken place in your own interests;
2. Tell the other party that you has accidentally harmed the interests of others in the past...

If the next time still the case, then you can be sure that the other person is like that... But I can assure you that the other time will not be like this, he will think of ways to adjust; if the next time the other party Still ill-conceived, once again not intentionally but affecting your interests, when the other party discovers, will certainly apologize to you - unless you yourself are a worthless person.

Before you understand this truth, you are A. After today, you are B; so, you can understand: A cannot see the world of B at all, but B can perceive the subtle differences between A and B. And what living in a world of difference between A and B?

Now you can understand the great differences between those who believe in "the human nature is good" and "the human nature is evil". This world is not only made up of substances without souls. One of the main components of this world is the innumerable people who have life and souls. So the world is also alive and has a soul. It can sense you. You should also be able to perceive it.

I do not believe that there is a distinction between good and evil at the beginning. I believe that at the beginning, every life that has just come to this world is the same, and there is soul without any evil, or a soul with no knowledge of good or evil. Both good and evil are learned in the end. Every good and evil choice, on the one hand, shapes oneself and at the same time shapes the world in which oneself exists. Then, the living world begins to have its own The soul is good or evil. It is actually a mirror image of that person's self-selection.

I am not the original creator of this sentiment, or to be precise, even if I feel that it is indeed my own original, but as more and more books are read, it will eventually be the same as everyone else. Fact: Most of the important insights have long been spread all over the world in history... Nietzsche said:

The abyss is staring at you as you gaze into the abyss...

Many years later, when I recalled what Mr. Lu Xun had said — “I have always been convinced of the Chinese people with the worst evil”, how unfortunate is it that he must live in an evil society? But is that true? And is that really the only world in that era? I don't think so. (Note that this paragraph should not be over-interpreted. One of the core competencies of reading is to limit understanding to a reasonable and appropriate range.)

I think that when I explain this principle clearly, everyone can understand why I am the person who can finally give up the argument. It has always been the reason why I absolutely must not tear it apart from anyone. The core reason why I can safely accept that I am a "disabled person" (broken in body but firm in spirit) is here too:

I just calmly believe that a broken world can always accommodate at least the next disabled person.

I have a lot of students who often complain with me, saying that their graduate tutors exploit them and let them write books for themselves, but they don't give Credit... I am happy to listen, I said, you can think: Do this work can you grow up? If you can, no money, no Credit, what's great? Compared with growth, those are a fart. You live in your own world. Such mentors live in such a world. They are not the same world at all. They do not treat people like their own world, you are not the same, you have to learn to treat your own world, right?

So, if you can treat your world well, your world will give you enough kindness; if you can tolerate your world, your world will be able to give you enough tolerance; if you are a very serious person Your world will treat you very seriously? For so many years, I just thought so. The world that looks like me treats me as well.

Thinking and action

There is only one question this week, but I also know how difficult it is to answer this question - why is it difficult to answer? Because this may be a problem that will last a lifetime:
What are some bad places in your world? How many of them may actually be your own choice?
