Thinking angle 2: change as the target, understanding as the target
Chapter 6 1-3 (Continued)
From ancient times to the present, there has always been a group of people who claim to be reformers, who have turned the world upside down in a rage, and finally turned a blind eye to the ruins, holding hands, and shouting "Long live reform" and left.
Most of their rudeness and recklessness come from the instigation and inner ignorance of careerists. You need to know: The towering wood must have its roots, and the water of the mountains must have its source. When we are dissatisfied with something, we should not rush to wave the flag and shout, but should first sink down and try to understand and recognize.
This leads to different results. Sometimes, as Wilde said, "Children love their parents at first, they judge their parents when they are older, and then sometimes they choose to forgive their parents". When you understand a life and know what you live for, there is nothing that cannot be endured. We will understand the hidden meaning behind the matter, such as knowing that the red envelope for the Chinese New Year is a personal exchange between adults, and knowing that taking the test is a forced choice for the world's largest developing country.
Sometimes, understanding is the foundation of change. Only when we truly understand what is behind it can we change it in a targeted manner. China's thousands of years of culture is not static, vertically with different periods of continuous change, horizontal between various trends of thought are constantly blended, this is the formation of the current rich cultural form.
In any era, it is inherited and changed under the existing cultural system, constantly injecting vitality and shaping new cultural traditions. If you understand these, you will understand that if you want to inherit the excellent traditional culture, you must not cling to the defects and be retro and conservative. It is necessary to combine the requirements of the current new era, give traditional culture a modern meaning, promote cultural innovation and development, and make contemporary expressions of traditional culture, so as to open up a greater space for cultural development.
Change and understanding go hand in hand. From understanding, acceptance to change, there are about three levels: first, you need to have the confidence to distinguish between right and wrong, if you don't have the insight to distinguish between "burnt wood" and "pearl", then "grass ying" and "lotus dew" are bound to confuse the public, maybe the original intention is good, but even the cognition has been deviated, and wanting to change is the opposite direction;
After distinguishing between right and wrong, understanding teaches us to use wisdom, jump out of the original knowledge framework, and think about the essence of the problem from a higher dimension, so that every change hits the point, and the change at this time will in turn promote new understanding;
Like people, the more they yearn for the light in the heights, the deeper their roots will go into the ground. Change as the target, understand as the target, and sail towards a better future.
