Chapter 1839: True Self Three
Whatever it is, on the path of finding your true self......
Freedom is an indispensable factor!
Only under the premise of absolute freedom can people pursue their own path, can they be self-realized in the true sense, and can they be regarded as pursuing their true self in the true sense......
Of course, the concept of freedom is very broad in itself......
Someone once said that the so-called freedom is not to be able to do what you want, but to do what you don't want to do......
This concept, from a certain point of view, does reflect a certain degree of freedom......
However, in a sense, such freedom can only be regarded as the most basic kind of freedom......
Freedom itself can also be divided into different levels......
The people who live in the social pyramid, the more people who live at the bottom of the social pyramid, the less they lack enough freedom......
They can only live according to a fixed trajectory of life......
Most of the time, their life trajectories and their family backgrounds will show a state of matching each other......
Only a very small number of people may deviate from the life trajectory given to them by fate and embark on a completely different life path......
Just like the girls in the countryside, most of the time, their parents often have a fixed income, although they have the opportunity to study when they are young, but once the family can no longer afford the tuition, they can only drop out of school early, and then leave the opportunity to study to their brother or brother, and they can only start farming or working, and then before the elder brother or younger brother gets married, they will be promised by their parents to a man they don't know, in exchange for a relatively generous dowry, so as to ensure the married life of the brothers......
In many cases, such a life trajectory is chosen by no one......
The vast majority of people who are in this limited trajectory of life have no choice, and when they start to drift with the crowd, they no longer have the possibility of controlling their own destiny......
Their lives are spent in a time and time without choice......
On the contrary, compared with those families living in poverty, those families living in the city often have more choices, and they often have more autonomy when deciding on the trajectory of work and life......
Although you can't choose, you can at least veto some of the choices, which is a kind of freedom compared to those children from poor families!
In fact, from a social point of view, the so-called freedom is actually just that......
It's not about being able to choose what to do, but at least being able to choose what not to do......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
However, such freedom is still 108,000 miles away from freedom in the true sense!
It's simple......
Although being able to choose not to do something can be regarded as basic freedom, this freedom itself is still selective......
It's like for a wealthy lady, political marriage is almost inevitable......
Of course, they can choose to exclude a few absolutely unacceptable objects from the joint venture, but in any case they cannot and cannot deny the political marriage itself......
They can decide what they don't marry, but they can never decide who they want to marry, and they can never choose to give up their marriage!
From this point of view, such freedom is actually incomplete freedom!
Of course, being able to have such freedom is actually something that many people envy!
It's like a college graduate in a city, they don't have to do some jobs, but they can't stop working, the former is their choice, and the latter is what they have to do......
Compared with those migrant workers who have to work to support their families, it is already a very enviable thing to have such a choice and to have such freedom......
In fact, the vast majority of ordinary people are in this stage......
Yes, the vast majority of young people in the city belong to this stage, they can decide not to do something on their own, they can set some insurmountable bottom lines and principles for themselves, but they must not eat at home and wait for death, whether it is material conditions or social pressure, it will prompt them to be self-reliant and look for work, otherwise it is easy to be looked down upon by others, thinking that it is a manifestation of incompetence......

However, such freedom is not enough!
The so-called pursuit of the true self, the so-called self-realization, requires more than this degree of freedom!
If you want to find your own path in the true sense, then both wealth and physical health are an essential part......
Because only those who have wealth and health can be qualified to be willful!
The so-called rich capricious, no money appointed, to a certain extent, is such a truth......
Only rich people, who are not troubled by wealth, can do what they want without doing it, and only rich people will not cause trouble to others because of their willfulness......
In fact, only the willfulness that does not cause trouble to others can be regarded as the pursuit of self in the true sense......
Otherwise, in the end, it is nothing more than incompetence and mediocrity......
The state presented by the ability to be unwilling to do it, and the state that cannot be done without the ability is actually similar, but there is a fundamental difference between the two!
The former can be regarded as a hermit in the true sense of the word, while the latter is an incompetent mediocre......
The former is an object of admiration for moral nobility, while the latter is only despised and looked down upon......
In fact, there is nothing wrong with many people's dreams and desires......
No matter how absurd the dream is, no matter how absurd the desire, in essence, it is not a mistake......
It's just that whether it is a dream or a desire, if you want to realize it, you must have the most basic material conditions as the foundation!
There is no doubt about that!
Any dreams and desires that are based on material things are, in the final analysis, just pipe dreams!
Any dreams and desires that try to get others to help you achieve them will end up being nothing more than a castle in the air!
Yes, it's just in the sky!
The more difficult it is for a person to pursue, the more it will cost and time to realize this dream, and the higher the material standard of living will be required, which is a matter of course......
It is naturally a commendable thing for a person to rely on his own efforts to realize his dreams, and it is also an admirable thing......
However, if the way a person realizes his dream is to ask for it without gratitude, then such a way will inevitably make people spurn!
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 achieved in a vacuum!

Yes!
Dreams are never something that can be achieved in a vacuum!
In this world, any success will never be a fluke......
Any loser may fail for a variety of reasons, but the winner will never succeed because of luck, which is absolutely inevitable......
The same is true for achieving dreams......
The kind of person who can abandon everything for the sake of his dreams, in the final analysis, is not really chasing his dreams, but is more like an ostrich immersed in his own world, completely burying his head in the sand and not looking at the world around him at all, such a person is despicable and not worthy of admiration......
People who use their dreams to destroy other people's lives are just nightmares in the final analysis!
is like many young people, when they cheat and betray their partners, when they act as other people's juniors, they will always say 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 left behind the responsibility and mission of love, in a sense, are not qualified to talk about the so-called love at all!
Many young people, even some well-known literati in history, have the problem of liking the new and hating the old, and they always beautify their behavior, saying that such behavior is a manifestation of love, but in the final analysis, they are just hooligans in the skin of love......
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......
Actually, it's easy to understand......
That is, when you are pursuing your dreams, the people around you will not be despised and insulted by others because of your behavior, and your behavior of pursuing your dreams will not bring trouble and burden to your family and friends, which can be regarded as freedom in the true meaning!
To give you a simple example......
The same two people want to learn music and embark on the path of music......
The former worked hard to work alone in the big city, silently living in the basement, silently going to the bar to sing, and silently accumulating his strength......
The latter, on the other hand, is desperately demanding money from their parents who are struggling to make ends meet, trying to use the money to realize their "dreams......
At the end of the day, these are two completely different attitudes to life!
The former is really working hard for his dreams, and the final result may not be good, but he is on the right path......
And the latter, from the first step of the start, is destined to be wrong, so it is impossible to go far in any case!
If you want to be able to pursue your true self in the true sense, you must first get rid of the oppression and influence of reality on yourself......
And if you want to get rid of the influence of reality on yourself, the most fundamental element is to have enough wealth and a healthy enough body!
