What he loves in his life, he loves poetry books. Since I was a child, I have formed an indissoluble relationship with books, buying books, reading books, and loving books, which have always been throughout my life, and I have never stopped for so many years, and I have not given up. Every year I buy some of my favorite books and carefully collect them while savoring them. Three years ago, I met Confucius's old book network, I was even more like a fish, such as entering Baoshan, the more books were bought, the more books were filled, but when I met the favorite books, I still couldn't stop. Every month when I buy books, I tell myself to buy according to the amount of money I plan, because after all, I live on a little dead wage, but when I encounter a good book, or a long-desired book, I still can't resist the temptation of the book, and the result is often beyond the budget. At the end of the year, the "fruitful" results were quite abundant, with a total of 246 books in terms of quantity, and a total of 4,999 yuan and 5 dimes were spent.
This kind of love of books, buying books can not help themselves, perhaps can be called book buying addiction! This reminds me of a slur that one of my year-old friends said to me many years ago. He said that there are four types of people with deep hobbies who can be juxtaposed with four faces, namely drinking, smoking, gambling, and fishing. Because these four types of people are too deeply addicted, hindering the body, destroying the family, and affecting work; they have some consciousness and want to change their past wrongs, but they do not have perseverance, so that they are light and untrustworthy, and they are repeatedly committed, so they are ridiculed as not to face. I realized it again in laughter, and now I want to say something that I don't intend to offend anyone - how similar the addiction to buying books is to these four types of addictions, and it is also a match for each other to be collectively called five faces. In real life, I am such an addicted, real "addict". Every time I bought too many books, my wife always counted me down, threw me off, made me discouraged and depressed, and at the same time decided to change my hands and become a virtuous man. But after only ten days and a half months, he completely forgot the previous bitter medicine, and the addiction arose again; the cycle began again, and he did not know the geometry. It wasn't until one day this summer that I registered my book stall on Kong's website and told her that books can be sold, and that I did sell several copies one after another, so that my wife looked at me with surprise, turned angry into joy, and said to me with disgust: "I will not care about you when I buy books in the future, as long as I can sell them to me." Like an amnesty, I don't have to squeeze so much when I buy books.
Nowadays, after work, after tea and dinner, without picking up a book to flip through, I always feel as if something is missing, helpless, fidgeting. In fact, Man can watch videos and brush vibrato like everyone else, but I don't want to do this, nor do I think about it, just naturally do what I like more, and sink into it. Everyone's life is different, the pursuit is different, reading or not, there is no right or wrong, right and wrong, an article by Mr. Feng Zikai, but said such a layer of meaning. One of the passages says: "I think that human life can be divided into three layers: one is material life, the second is spiritual life, and the third is soul life. Material life is food and clothing. Spiritual life is the art of scholarship. The life of the soul is religion. 'Life' is such a three-story building. Those who are too lazy (or powerless) to take the stairs live on the first floor, that is, they make a good material life, eat meat, honor and wealth, filial piety and grandchildren, and so they are satisfied. This is also a view of life. People who hold such a view of life are the majority in the world. Second, those who are happy (or powerful) to take the stairs will climb up to the second floor to play, or stay there for a long time. This is the person who concentrates on academic literature and art. They devote their full efforts to the study of learning and to the creation and appreciation of literature and art. There are also many such people in the world, that is, the so-called 'intellectuals', 'scholars', and 'artists'. There is also a kind of person, 'desire for life' is very strong, the foot strength is very large, the second floor is not satisfied, then take the stairs, climb the third floor. This is the religious. They are very serious about their lives, it is not enough to satisfy 'material desires', it is not enough to satisfy 'spiritual desires', they must explore the end of life. They think that the children and grandchildren of property are all external things, academic literature and art are temporary beauty, and even their own bodies are illusory existences. They refuse to be slaves to instincts, and must investigate the source of the soul, the root of the universe, in order to satisfy their 'desire for life'. These are religious people —there are only these three kinds of people in the world..."
The citations are a bit long, but the meaning is clear. I myself was like someone happy to climb the stairs, thinking of going up the second floor to play. I seemed to come to the second floor and looked up, "Spring water is blue in the sky, painting boats to listen to the rain and sleep." The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists", I seem to see the spring in the winter.
