Cultivate the most interesting and practical psychology every day
In 2016, the term Lieping was officially born, and it is a hot word on the Internet, referring to the state of young people who are struggling in society and lack self-motivation, preferring to give up on themselves rather than strive for the upper hand.
We need to be clear that although China has made great strides in these years, we are still developing countries, and if the younger generation is committed to lying flat and nibbling on the old, then the development of the times will be greatly affected.
Why is the word lying flat so popular? In fact, it reflects the psychological status quo of young people, everyone wants to be a person who lies flat, but because their parents have not accumulated a lot of wealth, they do not have the capital to lie flat.
Coupled with the development of the Internet, more and more people are keen to share their lives, see the life of their peers live a glamorous life, and then look back at the mess behind them, the heart will inevitably have an unbalanced feeling, and even self-repressed emotions.
In this case, it is normal for young people to complain by using the word lying flat, and it is normal to pour bitter water, after all, in real life, which person is really lying flat? Everyone is desperately trying to earn money and work, hoping to create a better life with their own hands.
Liang Yong'an, a professor at Peking University, once said that the essential reason why young people lie flat is actually because no one wants to be a donkey who pulls the mill. Once uploaded to the Internet, it triggered heated discussions, and countless netizens said bluntly that the Peking University professor's answer was "to the point".
Contemporary young people are not lazy, nor are they unmotivated or undisciplined, but most of them are caught in a state of contradiction, they are eager to keep moving forward, but they see the scene of no way out in front of them, and they are full of despair, colliding back and forth between dreams and cruel status quo, as if there is no other way but to shout and lie flat.
If we want to talk about lying flat, we have to mention the younger generation in Japan, and in them, we can fully see how vividly the three words of low materialism are embodied.
Japan is a developed country, and the overall income of residents has maintained a balanced level, but from the perspective of Young Japanese people, their lives are still fraught with risks.
The class has been fixed, even if they make more efforts, they cannot change their fate, rather than desperately fighting, it is better to live at low cost, at least to maintain a stable status quo.
Day after day, year after year, if life is not supported by faith, confused and anxious emotions will come to the door sooner or later, and this is the background of lying flat.
The development of the Internet age, I believe that everyone has a deep understanding, after the gradual spread of group psychology, lying flat has also been ridiculed by netizens as lying flat learning.
Lying flat is not necessarily bad, if young people can resist the influence of useless public opinion on themselves in the era of information load, and truly find a pure heart, then lying flat is a good atmosphere.
However, some people believe that only the inner volume is the state that is really conducive to social development, and everyone is working hard, and the society will run faster, the flow will accelerate, and the distance between classes will become closer and closer.
Most young people do not resist struggle, but they do not want to be crushed by reality after struggle. Everyone's dream state is to work hard and reap the rewards, but the reality is not a fairy tale, even if you live a high-pressure life like 996,007, migrant workers are still migrant workers, so it seems that lying flat is also a way of self-help.
Entanglement and contradiction are inevitable, on the one hand, they want to lie flat, on the other hand, they want to roll with others, their thoughts are pulling, and their spirits are attrition.
Do not simply think that lying flat is a negative compromise attitude, if the rational use of lying flat, reduce personal desires, then young people can live a more relaxed life, from this point of view, it is definitely a positive word.
With the development of the times and the progress of science and technology, the life of contemporary people has become more and more convenient, not to mention that young people are getting lazier, in such a developed modern society, can be willing to pay for the quality of life, willing to spend money to change life, itself is a norm.
Most young people are well aware of their current situation and can be open-minded to accept the ordinary of individuals, so no matter which way of life they choose, this is everyone's freedom.
Seeing that those who work hard gradually become the best choice for capitalists to cut leeks, how can the younger generation not have the intention of retreating? No one in this world wants to be a donkey, especially when they see the scene of capitalists lying down and making money, everyone is even more envious.
Of course, the capitalists who take the money are in the minority after all, and most people do not have such ability at all, so the real lying flat does not exist.
At the same time, we can't assume that the young people who are struggling now will never lie flat, maybe their efforts now are for the comfort of decades.
