Mediocrity is happiness
Brother Q: It's also a kind of music
Mediocrity is happiness: have you read me?
Brother Q: There is this book
Mediocrity is happiness: Why, it feels different
Brother Q: Unexpectedly, mediocrity is the most despised
Mediocrity is happiness: It is said that people with an average monthly income of 1,500-3,000 yuan are the happiest people, and I am one of them
Brother Q: There are still quantitative standards for happiness, I'm afraid it depends on what time and place
Mediocrity is happiness: yes, I'm talking about big cities, people in this income segment, work and life pressure is not great, the income is enough to spend, the requirements are not high, what kind of car, big room, Europe and the United States, don't think about it
Brother Q: Happy to be idle
Mediocrity is happiness: I am very gratifying, I am considered to be the iron class that cannot be shaken by the thunder of this society nowadays
Brother Q: It's also a warm harbor?
Mediocrity is happiness: appropriately
Brother Q: It's really rare, there is no shabby and embarrassing low-income people, and there is no stimulation, tension and risk of high-income people
Mediocrity is happiness: isn't it?
Brother Q: But, 3,000 yuan, converted into US dollars
Mediocrity is happiness: it's okay, you think, there are many more people who are lower than this, and it's okay
Brother Q: Not only satisfied, but also a little proud
Mediocrity is joy: in this society, it is not easy to get mixed in this position and keep this position
Brother Q: Then what are you doing?
Mediocrity is happiness: what else do you want to do, there can't be any great work tasks, whether there is a sacred and sublime, when a cow is not a horse wheel, drinking tea, reading the newspaper, surfing the Internet, chatting. Play chess and have fun
Brother Q: Otherwise, how can you be willing to be mediocre
The prodigal son turned back
Brother Q: The prodigal son will not change his money
The Prodigal Son: It's hard to turn back
Brother Q: Is there something else to worry about, otherwise, what's so difficult to turn around?
The prodigal son turned back: there was a complaint, even a grudge
Brother Q: Is there such a thing?
The Prodigal Son: For example, when you were young, your parents had alcoholism, gambling, drug addiction, and vices
Brother Q: That's not easy, you can't avoid your parents and reform your parents
The Prodigal Son: I'm lucky that my parents don't have those vices
Brother Q: How blessed are you
The Prodigal Son: Don't be too happy
Brother Q: What?
The Prodigal Son: My Father. Maybe I hate that iron is not steel, and I always look at me with that kind of vigilance and suspicion, for fear that I will fall, and I feel that I can't hold my head up at home, for fear that something will become a handle
Brother Q: That doesn't mean you have no self-esteem
The Prodigal Son: Once, by chance, I got into a fight with a classmate at school. Originally, I was justified, so I felt justified, but when I got home, my father found out. Beat me up indiscriminately, I was desperate at the time, desperately trying to get back that self-esteem outside, look at it now. What kind of self-esteem is that, fighting, robbing. It's a pervert who ends up where it should be
Brother Q: Does your father know?
The Prodigal Son: I just thought it was my father who sent me to prison
Brother Q: Ah
The Prodigal Son: You think, how could I have walked this path without his methodless discipline
Brother Q: What happened?
The prodigal son turned around: A reporter interviewed me, I said what was in my heart, but I didn't expect that it was broadcast on TV, and my father saw it, and he was full of tears, and regretted that he had killed his son
Brother Q: Then do you still resent your father?
The prodigal son looked back: At first, I couldn't figure it out, a lifetime of things, then I thought about it, my father is not everything, and I always have something that is not it, besides, my father is old, and I have not fulfilled my filial piety, but let my father be sad and sad, how will I be a person in the future, so I will find a way to free my father
Brother Q: Yes, you always have to face yourself, and it will be easy to turn back
The Prodigal Son Looks Back: Without the embarrassment of shame, he does not understand the value of dignity
Eternal joy
Brother Q; Who can have eternal joy
Eternal joy; Me
Brother Q: Who are you?
Eternal Joy: Eternal Joy
Brother Q: Are you the person of your dreams?
Eternal Joy: I am who I am
Brother Q: Or do you get the treasure gourd? Doesn't having the gourd mean eternal joy?
Eternal Joy: I don't get anything
Brother Q: Then how do you find the feeling of eternal joy?
Eternal joy; I don't rely on getting anything, a job, a house, a car, money, a beautiful woman, a friend, and besides, can those things bring you eternal joy, and you can guarantee eternal happiness by acquiring them constantly? Losing and regaining it will make people feel bored; What is newly acquired will also soon depreciate in value; Whether it's retrieving what has been lost, or gaining something new, as the basis for permanent joy, has become unreliable
Brother Q: The human heart is like a wandering kite, where to find eternal joy?
Eternal Joy: I know
Q: How do you know?
Eternal Joy: Because I am Eternal Joy
Brother Q: Everyone is looking for eternal happiness, please speak
Permanent Joy: It is to completely change the perception of me, to change the feeling of me, not to base me on something external, to return to the heart, to recreate the cornerstone of permanent joy
Brother Q: How to build it?
Eternal Joy: Who can have Eternal Joy? Ah Q is the eternal spiritual victory messenger, the eternal spiritual musician, Ah Q's joy is purely based on the heart, he relies on the spiritual victory method, so that he can make himself happy, whether he gains or loses, let us go back to Ah Q's story, from which to extract the inner cornerstone of eternal joy
cheese
Brother Q: Are you the cheese in the cheese story?
Cheese: yes
Brother Q: Why did you choose those four small roles in order to illustrate the four reactions to change?
Cheese: Because of their presence, it is too unobtrusive
Q: Do you mean to pay attention to things that are not noticeable? What can be done if you notice it, how one eats, how many bites to eat in one meal
Cheese: No, that's vulgar, I mean. It's easy to reduce complex things to simple details
Brother Q: Yes, no matter how complicated things are, they can be restored to simple details
Cheese: However, people are accustomed to seeing the realization of joy as very complicated, and the result is that things that are easy to achieve become extremely complex and difficult to solve, and many successful things are actually very simple, incredibly simple. Some people who set up chess games on the street are very simple moves, and design a maze according to people's thinking of "thinking to complexity", leading people's thinking to complexity, and once they walk in, the path of life is irreversible
Brother Q: Also, people seem to have that kind of preference, which is a very ordinary thing, but they like to give it a very lofty meaning. Make very simple things very complicated, and do it like that, it's a heavy burden, and then let's talk about it. If you really can't achieve it, it will be very painful, and if you look at it very ordinary, it is a personal hobby. It is done, rejoicing; It doesn't matter if you lose
Cheese: You don't know. People have a habit of complications, otherwise, how to laugh at the developed limbs and simple minds, people are afraid of simplicity, simple is easy to make people look down, so when they talk and do things, they hope to be complicated, and very simple things, but also think like complex, so that they can see the wisdom
Brother Q: Do you want to tell us about simple learning?
Cheese: Of course, you see, when you're about to lose your cheese, you're going to have mixed feelings: no, who's moving? What to do with what is lost? We must continue to continue, stay, wait and see, and wait for miracles to appear; If you don't come back, you have to make amends; Feeling frightened when you start a new search; Begin to laugh at yourself; Then get rid of it, face the smile of the maze and overcome the fear of entering the maze
Brother Q: You mean that since you have lost it, don't make it too complicated, just look for a new one right away
Cheese: Besides, what to learn from me, you used to despise those who were good at "speculation" and accused them of not insisting on many good things in the world, but who would have thought that it was these speculators who laughed at your stubbornness and stupidity, and did not change according to the times
Brother Q: Ah, otherwise, how could the speculation change its name?
reader
Brother Q: I am a loyal reader
Reader: Then we're good friends
Brother Q: But, I hate reading a little now
Reader: How
Brother Q: It turns out that I especially admire Bacon's set of sayings, reading is enough to be pleasant, enough to Fu Cai, and enough to grow talent; Although a person who has attained the level of practice can deal with small matters or judge the details, but looking at the overall strokes, it is the only one who is willing to learn and think deeply; Three taboos in reading: Reading is too time-consuming and easy to be lazy, and if the literary style is too prosperous, it is overbearing, and it is pedantic to judge things based on the provisions; The wisdom of using books is not in the book, but outside the book
Reader: But, Bacon also said that knowledge degrades mankind, and that the more knowledge the more reactionary, is it not the same?
Brother Q: Maybe, does the image of a nerd represent the depraved side of knowledge? An image of depravity, a symbol of the depravity of humanity? Fan Jinzhongju, isn't it a great irony of reading?
Reader: In the past, I always thought that being a reader was something that people would envy
Brother Q: Now?
Reader: Be your own fun, read if you can read for fun, if you don't have fun, then put this and that aside for the time being
Brother Q: Then how do you read the Fa, please advise
Reader: As soon as I hear the inquiry, I am very annoyed, let's talk about it, from the perspective of reading, the book can be classified: just look at the title; After reading the title of the book, read the author; Open the cover and look at the table of contents; Extensive reading; Hard Read; Painstaking reading, careful reading; Reading; Intensive reading; memorize; Never get tired of reading, etc., only books rich in aesthetic conception and interest can be read
Brother Q: Then what do you experience when you read and read?
Readers: First, to kill time; the second is the acquisition of knowledge; the second is to increase knowledge; fourth, enrich wisdom; fifth, health preservation, temperament, and qi nourishment; Sixth, add fun, the ultimate in reading is fun
Brother Q: It is said that the scope of reading should be wide, and you should read a wide range of books
Reader: Yes, Bacon didn't say that reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people beautiful, philosophy makes people profound, mathematics makes people thorough, ethics makes people dignified, and the study of logic and rhetoric makes people good at argumentation. The type of knowledge is personified as the personality type of the person. Reading a wide range of books, the so-called well-read, will make people's character full, make personality sound, you know, how important is the soundness of personality
Brother Q: Listen to you, you can really read the artistic conception
Reading: You should also be good at reading from the wordless place, from the words and behaviors of the people around you, the hot and cold social world, and the infinite changes of nature, to read the "truth" (to be continued......
