Chapter 51 idols like the sun

2000/05/11 Sanlian Life Weekly Author: Shi Wu I admire Wittgenstein, I don't know if it's because of his philosophy or his stories.Many years ago, I borrowed a small biography written by his students from the library, which recorded Wittgenstein's peculiar personality. So I can't do it.For example, the simplicity of his room may be worse than that of the laid-off workers now. There is only a camp bed, a table, and a chair. Compared with the laid-off workers, there is a safe for storing manuscripts.All visiting scholars or students can only sit on the ground.It's not that he has no money, he gave all the money to others.And he is not out of generosity, but he is useless with money.I can't do any of these things. There are too many "necessities for life" in the store. The "necessities for life" I bought home after working hard fill up all the corners of the room. Proud to say that he lived a happy life, I wonder if I can.

I adored him so much I paid the library double and left the book on my shelf. I also admire the Beatles, after a general understanding of the band's ins and outs, I collected relevant details everywhere.Now I know their respective personalities, especially Lennon's story, from his mother to his wife and son. I can list 100 serious and humanistic reasons for worshiping them, because with this heavy color, my worship is not bad.At the same time, I have 100 reasons not to buy celebrity biographies to read, and because of this, I look down on people who buy celebrity biographies at street stalls.In this way, I slowly read the biographies of the masters, and slowly found that many people were reading the biographies of different masters, and even the diaries of scholars.

When I read a scholar's diary, I feel the smell is wrong.Diary, of course, can record anything, the world changes, three meals a day, cronies and friends are all remembered.But what have these things to do with me?By the way, how many chairs does Wittgenstein have?Why was he kicked out of the elementary school where he taught?How did Lennon practice in India?What does all this have to do with me?Except for matters related to their professional achievements, all biographies and diaries are mostly private affairs in the circle or simply personal affairs (except for "Gu Zhun Diary", where there are many historical materials).The things in the circle are only related to the insiders, and then they are related to the admirers.If I'm not an insider and I don't admire him, it's not interesting to read.

Whether the roses of heaven have thorns has nothing to do with me, but with medieval Christian theologians. If I want to participate in the discussion, I have to say whether love has or not.Cultural people look at girls and boys tearfully chasing after a certain star with great disdain, but some people point out that after a few years in cadre school, they are more qualified to write about suffering, and that suffering is nothing compared to the suffering of the majority of the bottom .That can't stop admirers from talking about their bitterness. As for why one person worships another, beyond 100 reasons, it must have something to do with people's hidden inner weaknesses.A few days ago, "China Actors News" published a large photo of Gong Li lying on the bed. A theology scholar took this newspaper and read it again and again, and finally swore that if he could be Gong Li's lover, he would Give her a cow and a horse, and he has always been a loyal admirer of Emerson.Isn't there a problem here?Actually no, at least I don't see him as hypocritical or schizophrenic.

Whether it is a scholar's diary, or a celebrity anecdote, or the Vickers biography I admire, the reason for its popularity is that admirers get what they want.Idols are like the sun setting, and a new sun will rise tomorrow.
