"Bean Sprout Personality": If you can't deal with desire, how can you deal with the world?

People are humans, but first and foremost they are animals.

As animals, they have instinctive desires.

The world provides us with all material possibilities to satisfy our desires.

The extent to which desires can be satisfied determines the extent to which we can reconcile with the world.

Speaking of desire, as animals, humans have two instinctive desires - one is appetite and the other is sexual desire.

Let’s talk about appetite first.

There are thousands of delicacies in the world, and gourmets gorge themselves on all kinds of delicacies in the world. We ordinary people also like to eat even if we are not hungry after living a prosperous life, and do not want to owe ourselves a debt. As everyone knows, when you eat food, the food is also "eating" you - because every bite of delicious food we swallow will consume our own energy to digest it. During the process of digestion, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys must be mobilized and put into working condition. The body is a machine, and every component has its own lifespan. The more you use it, the faster it will decay. This is a very simple truth. Of course, you can't go hungry, because the energy stored in your body is always limited. When you are hungry, you have to release your energy bit by bit. Therefore, Confucius said, "Don't eat until you are hungry." A wise person will not pursue food excessively, nor will he treat his stomach and intestines harshly.

Let’s talk about sexual desire. This is the basic need for humans as animals to survive in the world and reproduce. As for the results of indulgence, just look at Ximen Qing.

The word "desire" is composed of "Valley" and "Qing", which means that the ravines of innate desires need to be filled. When desires are satisfied, people become calm.

In fact, the desires in the world are far more than appetite and sexual desire.

For the people on the scene, wine, sex, wealth and wealth are all desires.

Feng Menglong of the Ming Dynasty has three poems in "Warning Words":

One:

Sweet and delicious wine comes first, and beauty will be more beautiful in old age. Fresh;

Thousands of boxes of wealth are said to be rich, and those who are good at regulating the five qi are true immortals.

Second:

Wine is like gunpowder from burning your body, color is like a steel knife for scraping meat;

Rich wealth will harm people, and gas is like smokeless artillery.

The third one:

The highest is to drink without getting drunk, and to be lustful and not disorderly is to be a hero;

Don’t take wealth without righteousness, be patient and forgive others and eliminate disasters. .

The first song tells people how wonderful it is to have normal satisfaction of desires! The second song warns the world that there is another face hidden behind desire. The third song explains that the person who can control desire is the king.

Desire cannot be indulged or suppressed.

To indulge in lust is to demand too much from the world.

To suppress is to wrong oneself.

Taoism seeks longevity, so it proposes "abstinence" - satisfying daily necessary desires without indulging in unnecessary desires.

Depression is mostly caused by the inability to handle one's own desires.

It may be that you have overindulged in a certain desire, leading to confusion and infatuation. Therefore, it was difficult to overcome the difficulties in the sea, and I was not interested in all ordinary things and found them boring.

It is also possible that desires in this area are excessively suppressed, and some external dogma or force suppresses normal desires, leading to endocrine disorders and the collapse of the body's normal defense functions.

After seeing the news yesterday, I also went to browse his Weibo - he has 250,000 fans.

Watch again today, 350,000 fans!

He is no longer here and will not be updated. Instead, it increased by 100,000 in one day! This is illogical. What does it mean?

This shows that this matter has touched the nerves of a considerable part of the society.

After studying his Weibo again, I seem to have made some discoveries.

The blogger's self-titled tag: "Rural areas, left-behind children, children in mountainous areas, people who have experienced school bullying, photography creators, young people living alone, people who pursue dreams. "

We are Isn’t it possible to conclude that the work exposes the innermost desires?

I think he is trying to achieve an imaginary balance through the camera against the desires that have been dormant in his heart for many years.

In fact, this situation is not unique.

Born in a remote rural area, I yearn for the glamor of big cities.

For teenagers, this is absolutely a reasonable and normal desire.

The elders say, "It is better to live than die."

But the young people today are obviously no longer members of the older generation.

With roots like gossamers and a heart as high as the sky, can it be named "Bean Sprout Personality"?

When the delicate body cannot support the desire contained in the huge head, will it be "broken"?

Perhaps, in their view, our so-called "psychological strength" is nothing more than surviving.
