What is darkness? What is light? The more a tree stands tall, the more it wants to rise to the heights of the light, the more firmly its roots are like rust in the dirt, going down deeper, descending into the depths of the darkness. In fact, people are the same as trees, and the more they yearn for the sunlight in the heights, the more their roots will reach out to the dark underground.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >: Like people and trees, light and darkness can give power</h1>
1: Two methodologies of light and darkness
The strong must be familiar with both the light and dark methodologies, especially the darkness is the most real foundation of this world, if not mastered, it will be pushed down.
Perhaps we all don't understand what Nietzsche means when he says God is dead. In Nietzsche's consciousness. He found that the universe is actually cold and ruthless to human beings, without a trace of goodwill, and there is no omnipresent Father and Son, the Holy Spirit, these three people, take care of human beings like mothers. So what he said was that it was actually the wet nurse who died.
So since there is no Holy Spirit behind you, you have to protect yourself. Or there really is someone you can trust to help you guard, otherwise you will be hit by a dark arrow if you can't take two steps. This is why the strong should be familiar with the methodologies of light and darkness.
2: For thousands of years we have been seeking balanced answers
Every brick and stone that humans used to build the City of Light and Order was actually dug out of the dark and chaotic natural world. And darkness comes from light, and light comes from darkness. If you don't understand the darkness, the tree is not tall, because the foundation is not firm enough, and when it is short, it has been occupied by other tall trees.
All the driving forces for growth are the most primitive desires of man, and the power drawn from instincts, and so are trees. Selfishness, greed, fear... It has prompted all ambitious people or things to achieve great success. Where is the endless darkness, as long as you are willing to continue to extend the roots of life to desire, you can continue to draw more nutrients and resources.
For example, wealth, power, or sunshine, but we have never seen a tree that can be extended endlessly, covering the sky. Because the canopy of a tree is too large, it is easy to be blown down by the wind, which is also the truth of the tree's great wind, and people will not be far from destruction when they swell to a certain extent.
Maybe that's the result of a natural setting. In the process of human development, have we not struggled to find the balance of existence in this process for thousands of years?
Only when a person faces his own heart, honestly faces himself, and the darkest and most evil nature in his desires can he truly touch the core of life, and such a person has courage and texture. Maybe it's the kind of calm that has been unleashed after releasing desire, experiencing struggle and condensation, and looking through the abyss. Nietzsche's words speak the most bluntly.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > two: they are also staring at you when they face the abyss of evil</h1>
1: Not to become a monster, but to be Superman
Nietzsche said that in order to achieve the light and light admired by the world, you must first deeply feel the depth and darkness behind the world, life and darkness are the essence of the world, but also the meaning of human existence, rooted in deep and dark to absorb the nutrients of life is to become a superman, complete the revaluation of worldly values.
In the pursuit of success upwards, we will inevitably be surrounded by evil, they will desperately attack you, attack you, and all you have to do is to stabilize your own roots, but also go deep among them to understand your enemies and continue to move upwards, but always remember to face the abyss of evil, and at the same time they are also staring at you, do not accidentally turn yourself into a monster in this battle.
From ancient times to the present in real life, everyone who flaunts his own high style and bright festival in front of people often does a lot of unknown things behind his back, the more he achieves, the better, the greater the price he pays, the greater the burden, and if he is not careful about the light and light he pursues, he has turned himself into a monster surrounded by darkness.
If you want to be the superman that Nietzsche called, hope to get the light, and hope to achieve results, you must live in the spotlight, then you will become more and more lonely, lonely, and miserable and silently cultivate and endure the tempering.
Wang Xiaobo said that the main reason why I choose silence is that you can rarely learn human nature from words, but you can learn from silence. If you want to learn more, you have to continue to be silent. If you want to learn more, you must learn to remove and reduce many obstacles and obstacles on your own path, and you must learn to be silent, which is also to become a superman who completes the reappraisal of worldly values while Nietzsche can draw nourishment in the darkness.
2: On the way to becoming Superman, don't abandon love and hope
The "On the Tree by the Mountain" of "So Says Zarathustra" says: The situation of man is the same as the number at this time... The meaning is actually very clear. Nietzsche believed that the more the strong crossed over to the self, the more they would deny morality and abandon conscience. As mentioned above, when the darkness surrounds you, if you are not careful, you will become a monster in the darkness, abandoning the love and hope you pursue.
Just like the confused young man who was enlightened by Zarathustra in the book. Young people climb straight up, hoping to ascend to heights. In other words, the pursuit of self-actualization. He then confided in Zarathustra that he had felt all sorts of painful doubts in the process.
Zarathustra was enlightened by him. Zarathustra told him to pay special attention to a danger, not a "bad instinct" one. He also eagerly told "Yes, I know your dangers, but I plead with you with love and hope not to abandon your love and hope." ”
I don't know if this young man has given up on love and hope. But what I noticed more was what Zarathustra meant by "bad instincts"?
Bad instinct should be the loss of enthusiasm for struggle, content with short-term happiness, decadence and laziness, explained by the will to power, bad instinct is the lack of will to power, weakening. The weak are afraid of the strong, these maverick individuals, and thus avoid themselves from their abuse. "Humility and mercy, kindness and love others as oneself" are elevated to virtue, and "coldness, cruelty, deceit, doing whatever one wants" is reduced to sin.
Modern people worship such morality not because they sincerely love the former, but because they have a deep fear of the latter. The latter can bring risks and pain to their lives, interfering with their enjoyment of short-lived pleasures. They, of course, want to promote this morality, calling it nobility, sanctification, and jointly suppressing other pursuits.
In Nietzsche's eyes, the masses have always been so decadent and hedonistic. Volkswagen has no other fundamental purpose than to warrant as much as possible.
The young man in the article is different, and the high place he pursues, even if it is ultimately for the sake of depravity. This depravity is a magnificent self-destruction, the final completion of a way of life.
Just like a writer whose lifelong desire is to write novels, so reading is his climber is his high place, and creating a lifetime is his depravity, if this depravity cannot be realized, it is better to die, in this regard it is different from the masses, it is positive. Therefore, the strong who pursue light and light should not obey the morality of the weak and root it into the "evil" in the darkness.
Yearning for high numbers can be said to be the pursuit of ideals, but the real world will not be perfect after all. And there are many things that we can't change. We also call these injustices and unchangeable darkness. As long as we live in this world, it is impossible to avoid being exposed to these darknesses, and if we want to struggle, it is inevitable, we must face it head-on, we must accommodate it.
We live on this blue planet every day, most of us can bathe in the sun every day, enjoy a good life, swans are two-sided, there will be darkness when there is sunshine, and now most people only live in their own beautiful small circles, and they don't know what the other side of the world is.
People whose minds are full of beautiful fantasies will not realize that while they are shouting slogans to embrace the beautiful world, every minute in this world there will be people disappearing in the shadows, becoming slaves, racism, buying and selling sex slaves, cutting off organs... All cruel things happen in this seemingly beautiful world.
While we pursue light and light, our motherland is also pursuing, which is also a big reason why most of us can immerse ourselves in beautiful fantasies. A shadow under the clear sky is darkness, a little firework in the night sky is light, society is composed of people, the so-called darkness is a projection of human nature itself, is our cognition of life, want more fireworks in the dark, you can only crawl in the dark to find the way out.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > three: a black-and-white society, if we want to be strong, we must learn to grasp with both hands</h1>
1: Take root in the direction of black and dark, and grasp both hands steadily
Nietzsche's words are placed in life, and from a social point of view, this sentence is exactly in line with our current society. The world is not black and white, I believe that people who are rolling around in society will have a deep understanding, those who seem to be messengers of morality, but the heart has been rotten, there are still fewer people?
A few years ago, some local parent officials were exposed to corruption and corrupt officials, and then shuanggui, but before that, they were considered to be representatives of youth for several years in a row, and they were studied. The level of corruption is also staggering, and even when the soap is used up, the family has to call the following to ask for bribes, not to mention other aspects. In ancient China, someone had already said the answer, and when the water was clear, there was no fish.
In short, if you want to aspire to the direction of "light and light" development, you must take root in the direction of "black and dark", draw strength from there to absorb nutrients, and grasp both hands steadily.
2: The people who stand out are not how fast they go, but they know how to take root
Those who can stand out in the long river of history are not because of how fast they have gone, but because they know how to take root and be solid enough to walk long enough.
Just like when bamboo first sprouts, it grows extremely slowly, growing in a few years only in the woods, and once it breaks through the soil, it will grow wildly at a rate of 10 centimeters per day, reaching more than ten meters in a few weeks. It turned out that in the past few years, bamboo had spent all its efforts underground, on stretching the root system, and storing energy for growth.
Today is better than yesterday, tomorrow is better than today, every day to pay sincere efforts, unremitting work, sincere monasticism. This is the way to persevere, if you want to face higher and brighter, you have to spend more time in a dark place, which is the only way to open a tree-like life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks:</h1>
Good and evil, black and white, light and darkness. The opposites of etc. are actually unified, two parts of a complete whole, not simply opposed to each other. It's simple, it's complicated.
The towering ancient tree under the sun must have a huge root system in the darkness to support people and there are no absolute good people and bad people in the world on both sides. Every choice changes, one is the alternation of good and evil, and the other is the black and white walkway. Light and darkness are not diametrically opposed, they are interrelated, in fact, people are the same as trees, and the more they yearn for the sunlight in the heights, the more their roots will reach out to the dark underground.
We need to carry a seed of hope, plant it in the soil, carefully water and weed, fertilize, and observe from time to time whether there are bugs, but we must implement, like a tree to take root, so the seeds we planted are not in a hurry, we are like trees, willing to sink, sink into the darkness and do not be afraid.
