Reread Goethe's Faust

Why would The Devil Mephistopheles be willing to be Faust's servant? The reason is simple, he was giving before he packed faust. This is in line with China's view that "if you want to take it, you must give it first", and it is also in line with the plan of the soldiers to "want to catch the old and indulge". In this chaotic world, God's desire to destroy it, and his first madness, is a lesson in telling us how important it is to hold fast to our own yardsticks and principles. Even if it is a grass, even if it is blown by wind and rain, even if it is trampled, it can only survive when it adsorbs the land, because the grass is loyal to the land. In times like these, we lack grass-like loyalty, and we are always betraying, betraying the norms that are closely related to our lives.

We are no longer the protagonists of the stage of life, and the oppression of people by the background has just dissolved our existence. Camus said: We are all "tramps" who have no spiritual home in this era. From this perspective, the hideous face of modernity has firmly knocked us unconscious, leaving us in boundless confusion!
