Marx once said: There is no unknowable thing in this world, only the unknown.
Since the emergence of human beings for tens of thousands of years, the earth we live on has undergone earth-shaking changes, the boundaries of human cognition and thinking have been constantly expanded, and many problems that once plagued the ancients have been solved.
But from ancient times to the present, people's fear of ghosts and gods has not been dispelled, but intensified, even in today's scientific and rational society, there are still many people who believe in the existence of those strange forces and gods, and make up a lot of horrific stories.
Probably everyone has wondered if there are really ghosts and gods in this world, and whether those terrifying images that appear in literature and film and television will really be staged in reality one day?
Zeng Shiqiang, known as the "father of Chinese management", is also very interested in this topic, and said that he has personally experienced some unspeakable things.
Childhood memories
Zeng Shiqiang is a well-known scholar of traditional Chinese culture, and has a wealth of learning achievements, but unlike many scholars, he is not a staunch materialist, but is very concerned about those unspeakable mysteries.
It all started with his childhood experiences, and although decades have passed, he has never been able to forget it.
Zeng Shiqiang spent his childhood in the countryside, where he was fostered in his grandfather's home, like some left-behind children today, rather than living with his parents.
His grandfather's house had a large yard with some flowers and plants, and among the lush and messy flowers, there was a well for the family to use.
The young Zeng Shiqiang always stayed away from this well, and never approached it easily, because he always felt that this well was bottomless, and every time he looked inside, he would feel uneasy and afraid.
But then by chance, his grandfather asked him to go to the well to fetch some water, when it was already dark outside the window, he was very resistant, but he really did not dare to disobey his grandfather's order, so he could only withstand huge psychological pressure, take a bucket to this well he was afraid of to draw water.
Just as he was slowly approaching the well, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and when he looked at it, there was a white shadow standing by the well, which made his mind alarm ring, and he was stunned and did not dare to move.
The first reaction in his mind was to run away, but he thought that the elders in the family had said that if he ran away after encountering a ghost, he would be possessed, so he was at a loss, and when he looked again, the white figure had disappeared.
Leave a shadow
That picture was deeply rooted in Zeng Shiqiang's heart, leaving a great impression on him, and even when he grew up, he often remembered it in his dreams, so he was very afraid of staying alone in a dark and closed environment.
Zeng Shiqiang couldn't tell what the white figure he saw that day was, and he didn't know how to verify it, and even wondered if he had a special pair of eyes.
It was precisely because he could not verify and could not distinguish that this became an unsolvable knot in his heart, and later became the cause of his research on those mysterious events.
But in fact, the white figure may not be the so-called ghost as Zeng Shiqiang thought, it is likely that the sky is too dark to see the mistake, or he himself is very scared, so he has some hallucinations, after all, psychological hints will have a great impact on a person.
There are many appalling mysterious and terrifying incidents, all of which have been proven to be just people's illusions or perceived illusions, but the impact of those who have really faced such a picture must still be very large, not to mention Zeng Shiqiang, who was still a young child at the time?
Scientific Secrets
I believe that everyone has heard all kinds of mysterious legends and experienced some wonderful events that are difficult to explain, but in fact, most of them are just people who scare themselves.
Nowadays, science and technology are so advanced that there is still no evidence of the existence of ghosts and gods, but many phenomena that were once considered mysterious have been explained.
For example, I once saw a picture of palace ladies lining up in a row in the Forbidden City in the middle of the night, and I was deeply frightened, thinking that the resentment of this royal palace was too heavy, and such a scene appeared when the souls gathered here, which caused a lot of discussions.
But in the end, science explained this phenomenon only because the walls of the Forbidden City contain a lot of metal components, and when there is a thunderstorm, it will produce a magical chemical reaction, showing those pictures that once appeared.
When the rhetoric of ghosts and gods first appeared, it was to serve the notice of the feudal class, to educate the people through some fantasy stories, and to elevate the status of the rulers in their hearts.
Later, there were often people who missed their deceased relatives and friends too much, so they hoped that their souls could return to this world and be by their side, so they made up some stories, but in the final analysis, they were all fictional.
Even if today's technology has developed to such a point, it still can't eliminate the ghosts and gods that some people believe in, which is enough to see its far-reaching impact.
Brief summary:
If there are really ghosts and gods in this world, there is a so-called karma, perhaps it will become more harmonious, and people's awe will be heavier.
孔子曾说：子不语怪力乱神。
The thinker of thousands of years ago showed a disdain for these fictions, but there are still people in today's society who believe in what cannot be falsified.
In fact, this is not incomprehensible, because we will always encounter some phenomena that are difficult to explain, and every time in this case, we can't help but expand our imagination and make up reasonable reasons for these inexplicable things.
If there are really ghosts and gods in this world, then death will no longer be the end of life, but will become the door to another world, the beginning of a new experience, which may be the reason why ghosts and gods are still prevalent today.
But in fact, no matter whether there are really some mysterious forces in this world, the most important thing for human beings is to live their own lives, do not rely on some metaphysical methods to change their fortunes and fate, only down-to-earth can continue to move forward.
