2000/05/10 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Shi Wu Out of a lesson, I have an instinctive wariness against anything tempting, especially if someone has already fallen for it.My lesson is that many years ago, I was tempted by the position of a smoker to start smoking. By the time I was very disgusted with smoking, stopping smoking already meant quitting.Quitting smoking is possible both logically and in terms of people's general abilities, but the word "quit" already shows that it is not an easy task. There are not many excuses for the failure of countless smoking cessation campaigns. The reason is only one: You can't make life difficult for yourself, and you can't do things that are too embarrassing for yourself.In fact, this reason is just an excuse.I am in a dilemma.From this, I realized that you should not try to do something lightly. If you are determined to try, you must take the punishment into account.After all, I am a smoker.After my identity was confirmed, I almost never drank alcohol, because the wine is so delicious, so there is a saying of "abstinence from alcohol".I guess, people who drink alcohol to a certain extent must be very disgusted, otherwise why should they quit?It must be difficult to stop drinking, otherwise why do you say "quit"?Although drinking does not necessarily make an alcoholic, an alcoholic must drink.In order not to fall into the dilemma of quitting smoking again, I started by not drinking at all.

Right now, the biggest temptation I feel is surfing the Internet.Everyone who walks on the Internet seems to be well-informed and well-informed.It is said that chatting on the Internet is real chatting, which can stretch a person's personality to the greatest extent. In short, any discomfort felt outside the Internet will not be found online.This is undoubtedly an attractive realm.However, there is a name that makes me wary-networms.Although, so far, there is no such thing as "abstinence from the Internet", before I go online, I continue to ask people who have some understanding of the Internet to see if there is any tendency to stop.Later, I was told by an expert on computer culture: Going online is getting caught.

A year has passed, and I went online a few times because I was worried about gains and losses. Although the endless space has not made me degenerate into an Internet worm, the problem of choosing a way of life still arises. To surf the Internet is to be arrested, and to be arrested is obviously to be captured, and to be captured is to lose freedom, and without freedom is almost to stop living.Don't go online?Experts also told that this is the Internet age.When people put an attributive in front of the word "era", it means that life in this era takes it as the basic form.Not surfing the Internet in the Internet age is tantamount to giving up life in this age, but is it possible for people to live in other ages?

Although historians divide culture into "post-figurative culture" and "pre-figurative culture", people who are conservative or look forward to the future can only live in the era when they "are".Even if I could choose the Walden life, the whole meaning of that life can only be shown in the reference of life in such and such an era.Skynet is sparse but not leaky.
