Chapter 8 Economics - 3

Human beings are living a life of quiet desperation.The so-called resignation to fate is precisely the desperation of certainty.You go from hopeless city to hopeless village, comforting yourself with the bravery of mink and muskrat.Under the so-called games and pastimes of human beings, there is even a kind of frozen, unconscious and unconscious despair.There is no entertainment in either, because entertainment comes after work.But not doing desperate things is a sign of wisdom. When we consider, in the manner of the catechism, what is the end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it seems as though men had deliberately chosen this common mode of living rather than any other. like.In fact, they also know that apart from this, there is no other way to choose.But sane and healthy people know that the sun is always new.It is never too late to let go of our prejudices.Thoughts and actions, however ancient, are not to be trusted unless they are corroborated.The truth that everyone agrees with today or thinks it is okay to acquiesce may turn into an illusory mist tomorrow, but some people still think it is a dark cloud that can sprinkle a shower of rain on the earth.Try what the old man thinks is impossible, and you will often succeed.Old people have old ways, and young people have new ways.The ancients did not know how to keep the flame alive by adding fuel, but the newcomers put dry firewood under the kettle: the proverb says well: "The old man is mad at death", and today's people can still circle the earth as fast as birds.The old, though they are old, may not be able to guide the younger generation better, or even qualified to guide; for although they have gained a lot, they have also lost a lot.We can doubt in this way, even if the most intelligent person has lived for a lifetime, how much can he understand the absolute value of life?In fact, old people have no very important advice to give young people.Their experience is so fragmented, their lives have failed so miserably, they must know that the big mistakes are their own making; perhaps, they retain some confidence, which is not consistent with their experience. Yes, but unfortunately they are not young enough.I have lived on this planet for more than 30 years, and I have never heard a word from the elders, which can be called valuable and enthusiastic advice.They haven't told me anything, maybe they can't tell me anything pertinent.Here is life, an experiment, much of which I have not experienced; old people have experienced, but it is useless to me.If I had gained any experience that I thought would be useful, I would have thought so, an experience that my teachers and elders never mentioned.

A farmer said to me, "You can't live on vegetables, they can't give your bones what they need;" so he devoutly set aside a part of his day to get the kind of food that would supply his bones. and as he spoke he walked behind the oxen, whose bones had been nourished with vegetables, to drag him and his wooden plow forward in spite of all obstacles.Certain things, in some cases, as among the most helpless sick, are necessities of life, in others they become mere luxuries, and in others they may be unheard of. s things. Some people think that the whole of life, whether it is high peaks or low valleys, has been covered by the pioneers, and everything has been noticed.According to Xie Evelyn's words: "The wise Solomon once ordered the distance between the trees; the Roman magistrate also stipulated how many times you can go to the neighbor's field to pick up the fallen acorns without counting you. and he stipulated how many acorns belonged to his neighbors." Hippocrates even passed down the method of cutting nails, which should not be too short or too long, but should be even to the fingertips.Undoubtedly, the tedium and the tedium, which supposedly consumed the variety and the joys of life, are as old as Adam.But man's strength has never been measured; we cannot judge his strength by what he has accomplished, which is very little.No matter how much you have failed before, "Don't be sentimental, my child, who appointed you to do what you have not done?"

We can measure our lives in a thousand simple ways; to illustrate, this is the same sun that ripens my beans and at the same time shines on a whole solar system like our earth.If I keep this in mind, several mistakes can be prevented.But I didn't think about it that way when I was weeding.The stars are the apexes of what wonderful triangles!How many different species, widely separated, in all parts of the universe, contemplating the same fact at the same time!Nature and human life are as varied as our institutions.Who can predict the future of another's life?Is there a greater miracle than looking through each other's eyes for a split second?We should have gone through all the ages of this world in one hour; yes, even through all the worlds in all the ages.History, poetry, mythology! —I know of no other reading of other people's experiences so startling and detailed as these.
