Chapter 15 Section 14 Drunkard and Mom's Breasts

In the middle of the night, a drunkard came home after being very drunk. He took out the key tremblingly, but he couldn't put the key into the keyhole no matter what.At this time, a passing policeman asked him if he needed help, and the alcoholic said, "This house is shaking a lot, please help me straighten the house so I can open the door." Human beings are usually narcissistic and self-centered. When there is a problem, the first reaction is definitely not one's own fault, but the fault of the outside world or others.It can be seen from this that the drunken person just naturally inflates human narcissism through the volatility of alcohol.Since alcohol is an intensifier of human narcissism, a person with low self-esteem can obtain false psychological comfort through alcohol.But in the dizziness of alcohol, that person's true self became more and more blurred.For some severe alcoholics, alcohol is a slow murder of the self.

"You can't imagine what it's like when I'm drunk." One of my patients said to me, "I knocked myself out with alcohol, I knocked myself out; I let myself bleed, I let myself die, that's death, you know ?” "You want to bleed yourself, to die." I repeated his words softly. "Yes, if you want to die, what's the point of living?" A long sigh. Alcohol at this moment has become a killer for individuals to explore the meaning of life. Alcohol makes life shrink, numb, and sink. Alcohol has achieved the slow murder of self.To awaken people from the maze of alcohol, the awakening of the dying is the last possible rescue.

A friend of mine is an alcoholic.Every time I go to visit, he must drink to death.When I saw him one day, I noticed that two of his front teeth were missing.He proudly bared his tongue and said, "Riding a motorcycle and kissing a telephone pole after drinking." The drunkard's demeanor of death was obvious, so I naturally advised him to be careful and never drive after drinking. Two months later, he was hospitalized with a hepatic coma.I went to see him, and he told me that he had alcoholic liver disease.The doctor warned him that if he continued to drink too much, he would have a few days to live.

"Are you dying, or do you want wine?" I asked him. "You cannot have both wine and life, even those who sacrifice their lives for wine." He also wanted to play a joke on me. "After you die, your alcoholic liver will be my appetizer." Later, in order not to let my delusion succeed, my friend stopped drinking completely and chose sobriety at the last moment of his life. Surprise: Alcoholic is originally a psychopath Alcohol is actually just an intensifier of the inner state of human beings. Alcohol makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker.Extreme use of alcohol drives the weak to death and the strong to madness.And a person who uses alcohol well makes alcohol a servant of spiritual power.

Former Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai is a master of alcohol.The reckless general Xu Shiyou thinks he has a lot of money, and he always likes to find someone to drink. Every time he drinks, he will try his best to get the other party drunk.After Zhou Enlai heard about it, he invited Xu Shiyou to drink, and the two met tonight to get drunk.Zhou Enlai drank cup after cup, while Xu Shiyou drank heavily from the bottle.After a bottle of Moutai, Xu Shiyou collapsed under the table.Zhou Enlai, a frail scholar, was able to stand proudly in a bloody life and stand tall. His use of the power of wine can be called Zhou's secret.During a confrontation with Nixon, Zhou Enlai lit a match to Maotai, and Nixon responded with a silly joke: "Will this wine explode in my stomach?"

Most Chinese are very proud of such Dionysian stories, but if a nation's civilization is completely based on the Dionysian spirit, the rationality of this nation will naturally decline.As the ancient pinnacle of Chinese civilization, the Tang Dynasty created the Dionysian legend of Li Baidou's hundred wine poems, but there was no rational giant like Aristotle. During the "Cultural Revolution", all Chinese people could get up in the middle of the night to march, just because the great leader just wrote a good poem.During the "Cultural Revolution", it seemed that all Chinese people became poets.In retrospect, the "Cultural Revolution" has a strong Dionysian smell: romantic and poor, magical and ignorant, order and chaos.
