I am "the world of the soul", I hope that my words can give you warmth, inspire you, let you love life, but also love to laugh.
The book "Human Disqualification" was written by Osamu Dazai, a representative of the "rogue school" of pure Japanese literature, and in the eyes of many Japanese critics, he is a writer who has fallen into nothingness.
"Human Disqualification" was written in the same year, Dazai Osamu threw himself into the water, so this work is regarded by many as Dazai's autobiographical body.
For the book "Human Disqualification", I read it once when I was a child, probably because of my young age, and many of the contents in the book could not be understood at all.
When I grew up, I never had the courage to pick up this book and read it again, because I had an inexplicable sense of fear of this book in my heart, afraid that I would be affected by the negative emotions that shrouded in the book.
But when I really picked up the book and read it carefully, I found that although there were many negative thoughts in the book, what I gained was positive thoughts.
One of the things I want to say after reading this book is: you have done a good job, you are not worse than others, there is no need to put yourself in a desperate situation because of other people's opinions, the person who should love you in the world is yourself, don't desire to be loved, because the first thing you need is self-love.
1. No one is like us, and no one is different from us
Walking in the crowd, there are always a few people who feel that they are out of place, feel that they are different from the people around them, and when others are looking at you with scrutinizing eyes, you are also looking at yourself with strange eyes, thus isolating yourself from the outside world.
Walking in the crowd, there are always a few people who feel that they are no different from the people around them, often look at others with different eyes, try to find out the people in the crowd that do not fit in, and kick them out, in the process, lose themselves.
The former, which we call inferiority, and the latter, we call loss.
Born as a human being, each of us is an independent individual, with our own soul, our own thoughts, and should have our own will, no one is the same as us, because we ourselves are ourselves, not an appendage of the will of others, let alone belong to others.
In this world, we may have many differences in appearance, personality, personal experience, etc., but we are all human beings, all running for life, and no one is different from us, because we belong to the same creature as "human".
Born to be human, you are independent, born to be human, you and I are human.
There is no need to separate ourselves from the world, and there is no need to give up ourselves to integrate into the world, because no one is like us, and no one is different from us.
2. Self-immersion and self-speculation are often the beginning of tragedy
Ye Zang, the protagonist of the book "Human Disqualification", the beginning of the tragedy of his life is inseparable from his experience as a child, and the most he did when he was a child was to make others laugh, always guessing the other party's thoughts, and living carefully.
He would guess the minds of his parents, the minds of his servants at home, the minds of his teachers and classmates, and he would always take what he guessed as a fact, never daring to take action to verify whether his own guesses were accurate.
Just like many people in our lives, we will guess that the other party does not like ourselves because of the other party's neglect, and we will guess our position in the other party's heart because of the other party's words.
We always like to take what we guess as a fact and enjoy it, and this is often the beginning of tragedy.
In the process of guessing what others think, we lose ourselves and lose an effective tool for correctly knowing what a person is thinking in their hearts– communication.
When people interact with others, the first thing they have to get rid of is self-speculation.
3. Freedom, for us, is something that we keep chasing and giving up
Freedom, this thing is often mentioned, but what exactly is freedom, there has never been a precise definition, because freedom is different from person to person, freedom exists with a relative concept.
Summarizing the life of the protagonist Ye Zang in the book is actually a life of constantly chasing freedom and constantly giving up freedom.
He had thought about getting rid of his dependence on alcohol and being himself again, but he fell into dependence on drugs, and when he wanted to get rid of drugs again, he found that it was more difficult to get rid of than alcohol.
For Ye Zang, this is nothing more than getting rid of control, getting rid of the control of others, drugs, alcohol, etc.
We chase freedom because we are not satisfied with our present selves, with our present life, and we give up freedom because of our will, our choices, our lives.
4. We can have the life we yearn for, and we can also have the helplessness to compromise with reality, which is not contradictory
Pursuing ourselves and pursuing the life we aspire to does not mean that we have to rebel against the world, nor does it mean that we cannot compromise with reality.
To have the life we yearn for is to have expectations for the future and to compromise with reality because we live in reality.
A life that has both a longing life and a helpless compromise with reality is the most authentic.
If you only have the life you yearn for, if you have a long time, it is a fantasy, it is unrealistic, if you continue to compromise with reality, after a long time, it is a walking dead.
Just like the protagonist of the book, Ye Zang, he constantly compromises with reality and loses his soul, like a marionette manipulated by life.
5. We want to live the life we want, but don't be confined to our own world
Does Ye Zang have the life he wants, maybe there is, but he has locked himself in his own world for too long, slowly forgetting what the life he really wants is like, and forgetting the original appearance of this world.
One of the biggest mistakes Ye Zang made was to always look at the world from his own point of view, once people immersed themselves in their own world, it was like a frog at the bottom of the well, and the world seen from this perspective was incomplete.
People, don't always tell the world in the first person, sometimes, we need to ask the people around us and try to describe the world in the third person.
The world may have darkness that we cannot imagine, but there must also be light that we have not discovered.
Darkness and light are like shadows, and where there is darkness, there must be light.
Try to ask the people around you, to understand the world in their eyes, not to limit ourselves, so that we can only see the dark side or the light side, such a world is monotonous.
