In human psychology, the word "desire" is interpreted as: the requirement to achieve a certain purpose generated by human nature.
In real life, people's desires are divided into many kinds, and there is no distinction between good and evil. The key lies in how the parties guide and control them.
For men, lust estimation is the most difficult to control and quit. Since ancient times, many people have died under peony flowers, and many people have lost their lives prematurely.
In the heyday of poetry in the Tang Dynasty, many poets showed their literary talent and satirized the harm of lust.
The most classic is Lv Dongbin's Warning.
A beautiful woman on the 28th looks crisp, with a sword at her waist. Although I don't see my head fall, I teach you that your bone marrow is dry.
It can be seen that lust has a great influence on people.
However, anyone who has achieved something can control his desires well and get rid of his own faults in time.
For example, Zeng Guofan and Chiang Kai-shek controlled their own desires by writing diaries, and finally achieved some success.
On the road of abstinence from lust, since Chiang Kai-shek imitated Zeng Guofan's ways, let's talk about Zeng Guofan's process of controlling desire first.
I have to say that Zeng Guofan is a ruthless figure.
In order to spare more time to study knowledge, Zeng Guofan controlled his own desires, and the object of abstinence was his wife.
By keeping a diary, Zeng Guofan woke up and urged himself with his own words, and even scolded himself in the diary.
As a minister, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines under the historical background at that time. However, it was rare for Zeng Guofan to take the initiative to control his own desires and constantly purify and control himself. Of course, this is also the reason why Zeng Guofan achieved great success and remained immortal.
The other one will talk about Chiang Kai-shek.
As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek likes to keep a diary. Perhaps he gradually formed a habit after seeing Zeng Guofan's deeds.
When I was young, because I had to follow Chen Qimei and wander around romantic places, I developed the bad habit of whoring in a subtle way.
One day, the young man woke up and felt that he should make some changes and should not sink down any more.
So, I started writing a diary to avoid color.
By keeping a diary, Chiang Kai-shek constantly honed his mind, exercised his perseverance, raised his demands through verbal encouragement and spur, and gradually raised his realm. Finally, he stood out from the separatist regimes of many warlords under the historical background at that time.
