There are three realms of doing things:
The first realm: I did a lot of things I didn’t like for life.；
The second realm: With capital, just do what you like；
The third realm: to make progress, take the initiative to do things you don’t like.
The person who makes you suffer is often your noble person； Things that make you suffer are often the places where you need to improve the most.
Recently, I often think about this question:What exactly is it that makes a person successful?
I thought of countless answers, including: striving for progress, doing good deeds, working hard, etc., but I felt it was illusory. Until one day, I realized this sentence: Take the initiative to do things that make me suffer.
When this sentence came out of my heart, I finally felt a sudden realization, and I finally found the answer!
A professor from the University of Chicago, a famous American university, mentioned when he visited Peking University: "The basic requirements for students at the University of Chicago are——Do difficult things, because if a person wants to achieve something, he must do those difficult things。”
Those who truly see through this world are practicing through suffering.
There is a way to practice quickly.”Ascetic monk“。These monks were unkempt and ragged in clothes, and always took the initiative to endure the most painful things that ordinary people think are the most painful, such as long-term fasting, even breaking water, lying on a bed covered with nails, walking on the hot charcoal, enduring the heat and cold.
They let themselves exhaust their muscles and bones, hungry their bodies, and empty themselves, so that they can gain spiritual freedom and soul liberation faster.
Ascetic monks are considered a shortcut to practice.It is because compared with other practitioners, they suffer more and more deeply in the same time.
Over the years, I have always had a subconscious mind:Every happiness I can enjoy is achieved through my daily practice and is the blessing I accumulate in my daily life.
A person cannot enjoy happiness for no reason, that is, he cannot receive money without merit, otherwise he will damage his blessings. This is my strong consciousness, so that whenever I make a small achievement, I will use the same degree of pain to offset the pleasure.
I also summarized a law of conservation of suffering:
Suffering is the basic characteristic of life. The total amount of hardships that everyone endures in their lifetime is constant. It will neither disappear out of thin air nor produce without reason. It will only transfer from one stage to another, or transform from one form to another. The more you choose to escape it now, the more you have to sacrifice a greater price to deal with it in the future.
In today's era, more and more people want to live a life facing the sea and blooming in spring. They always want to travel around the world and always want to find freedom.
In fact, the biggest problem for young people now is not that we are becoming more and more impetuous, but that we are becoming less and less willing to face the pain.
As the designer of the entire universe, God’s most exquisite and fair design is to design such a shackle for mankind:
Anything that can make you "good" will definitely make you "pain". Similarly, anything that gives you pain will surely help you in the end!
For example, good medicine is good for the disease, honest advice is good for the action, poor families are good for the sons, etc. In life, it is bitter first and then sweet, it is sweet first and then bitter. This is also the law of balance in the world.
However, with the development of technology and the prevalence of hedonism, people are increasingly reluctant to face pain. Everything can be delivered to your doorstep, and all services can be directly delivered to your doorstep. The development of technology is based on infinite satisfaction of people's enjoyment and desires as the core logic.
It’s so easy for people to enjoy themselves now:
There is takeout when you eat, and there is Taobao when you shop. Isn’t this just about opening your mouth for food and reaching out for clothes?
Didi drivers come to pick them up when they go out； Long-distance high-speed rail ； There will be various software for dates ； Bored to watch the performances on TikTok.
People’s living standards are getting higher and higher, and all kinds of desires are filled with them. Want to try the hardships of life? It's really not that easy.
Hard work is becoming a luxury.
In the previous era of material scarcity, poverty and suffering were connected, and the poor had to endure hardships. And in this era of over-species, society has the ability to raise all people in captivity.
Even poor people don’t need to endure hardships, but they will live more comfortable and comfortable. They will watch short videos every day, watch live broadcasts and entertainment programs, play games, and buy things on Pinduoduo. Anyway, they can also afford to spend money.
On the contrary, it is the turn of the rich to start suffering in this era, because if a rich man wants to preserve or grow his wealth, he must take the initiative to try many things, actively change many of his habits, and even actively revolutionize his own life. He must maintain evolution and make progress every day. This is a kind of suffering, and the rich have to pay. N Only by working hard can you create and protect the country you have built.
In the past, it was said that poor families were suffering from lack of clothing and food. Now even the lowest-level people would not worry about food and clothing. Moreover, the various spiritual products in the Internet era are so rich, such as games, live broadcasts, and entertainment programs, and you can be addicted and indulged at will.
In the future society, hardships are no longer related to material things, but to spiritual things.
The essence of suffering is to restrain all kinds of desires deep in one's human nature, focus and focus on and focus on one thing for a long time, and give up entertainment, vanity of giving up, enjoyment of giving up, and the incomprehensible and loneliness that you endure in this process. Its essence is the ability to control and self-discipline, the ability to extend patience and deep thinking. These are all Spiritual pain。
In the future, the rich need to endure hardships more than the poor!
In the future, if the poor want to change their destiny, the only way is to "take the initiative to endure hardships"!
So why do poor people know that they are poor but don’t want to change their destiny by enduring hardships?
The most critical reason is: in order to maintain their status, the rich do not allow the poor to suffer!
Once the poor are awakened and realize that they need to change their destiny through hardship, they will obviously threaten their status.
Look around us, all kinds of short videos /Entertainment Programs /Games, etc., immerse everyone in various shallow stimuli. These fragmented satisfactions make us addicted and indulged in it. This is the logic of the rich. We must raise all the poor in captivity, give them food and drink, give them fun, and make them all enjoy it.
For the poor, due to human nature, one is the joy and pleasure that can be obtained in front of them, and the other is the process of diligence that needs to be tempered with pain. There are not many poor people who would rather lie in the comfort zone at the bottom than to numb themselves.
This is why entertainment now /game /The reason why short videos are so developed is that the poor must consume their extra energy.
Being immersed in various short and exciting happiness is the best way to consume a person's energy.
There was a question on Zhihu:
Why do most people rather suffer from the hardships of life than the hardships of study?
Two answers gained great popularity:
The first answer is this:
The hardships of learning need to be taken into account, but the hardships of life are different. If you lie down and don’t move, it will come by yourself.
The second answer is as follows: the sufferings of life can be paralyzed by fatigue and transferred by entertainment. As long as you still survive, the walking zombie can just pass by, and eventually become accustomed to it, which can be called passivation.
The pain of learning is that you must always maintain a keen touch and maintain a clear and cognitive rich emotions. This may be called sharpening.
The pain of learning is boring and unpaid in the short term. This kind of suffering can be seen and touched, and no one wants to eat it.
The suffering of life is the suffering of despair, the suffering of having no way out for a long time. This kind of suffering cannot be seen or touched, and no one wants to eat it.
Due to human nature, we all choose to suffer the hardships of life and avoid the hardships of learning, and eventually become numb and like a walking corpse.
The pain of life makes people paralyzed, but the pain of learning makes people awake and improve. If you don’t choose to take the initiative to suffer from the pain of learning, you will suffer from the pain of life for the rest of your life.
Therefore, we only have two options: either you study hard, improve your independent thinking ability, and be ready to counterattack at any time；
Or you are willing to fall, go with the flow, immerse yourself in various low-level happiness, become the 99% "pet", endure round after round of pain, and be harvested one after another.
Click“look in”，I hope that everyone who works hard to deal with life can learn to take the initiative to suffer the hardships of learning. We must believe that life will not treat a person who is constantly enterprising.
