An acquaintance once had an official position in the company. For such a position, ordinary people could only fulfill their obligations to the company. But when it came to him, it became a "cornucopia." After the incident, the investigators lamented: This person is too courageous, and he doesn’t dare to get money without it. A classmate, despite being in a high-ranking position, was henpecked and had to provide a written explanation and guarantee to his wife even if he came home half an hour late from work. In his spare time, his wife keeps him at home practicing calligraphy and reading. After persisting for many years, he not only had a good official reputation, but also wrote several academic papers, and his calligraphy works also won national awards.
Looking at the two things together, it can’t help but make people feel emotional.
One writer said that knowing fear is a valuable and meaningful thing. It shows one's own limitations and knows that there are some insurmountable boundaries in the world. Knowing that there is sunshine in the world and just punishment under the sun, self-discipline is a manifestation of strong willpower. In daily life, some people are deeply ashamed of being afraid of their wives and leaders. In fact, as long as "fear" is reasonable, "fear" will take on a positive meaning to a certain extent. Because, when facing things, "fear" first draws the initial line of defense and warning line in people's consciousness. "No fear" should be based on rational "fear". If the boundaries of rationality are exceeded, people will become fearless, do anything, and even be lawless. And this kind of people will eventually carry a lifelong hatred and bring disaster to the people and the country.
There are fears, fear of henpecks, fear of leadership, fear of discipline, fear of law, fear of public opinion. Although the content of fear is different, through the word "fear", we can clearly understand the moral norms that everyone must abide by. , recognize that the maintenance of society depends on individuals restraining their own personalities. And this kind of restraint must be through the word "fear", and the rules and regulations must be internalized into the moral standards in people's hearts, so that orderly and wise behavior can be produced. For example, Zhang Han, the famous fish-loving official in ancient times, refused to accept fish sent by others because he was afraid that such fish would ruin his chance to enjoy the delicious taste of seabass safely throughout his life with a salary. This kind of "rejection" based on the psychological basis of "fear" can be described as sensible and wise.
Corresponding to "what you fear" is "where you are going". The soul needs a place to rest on and a spiritual home for imagination to run. The project of purifying the soul should be formed into a habit just like sweeping the yard in life. After work, you must learn to resist vulgar taste and bad transactions, and always take care of the back garden of your soul, trim branches and leaves, pull out weeds, let the sun shine in, and let the fresh air seep in. In this impetuous business era, what the soul needs most is meditation. Let your soul communicate more with books. Only in this way can you keep an appropriate distance from the vulgar life in the context of materialization, and make a choice between selfish desires and bad habits and high moral integrity.
The "to" in "to" represents a direction and height. Rivers rush to the sea, and birds fly into the blue sky. What people can notice is a kind of peaceful yearning to break through the confinement. Only when I feel a sense of beautiful things in my heart can I realize the vastness of the sea and the blueness of the sky. When walking in life, you should also know the direction. Even if you are stuck in a quagmire, you should distinguish between dirty and clean in your heart, and then practice it physically and extricate yourself. When you are in the valley, your head should be pointed towards the heights. Mr. Russell, a great Western sage, said: "I warm my hands in front of the fire of life. When the fire goes out, I will be ready to leave." In front of us, in this world of great love and hatred, how can we be so calm? (Li Yiyi)
