Chapter 33 if freedom is a pity

I have never realized so deeply that freedom is a necessity, because one must detach as much as possible from what one takes for granted in the world around him. All my thoughts about freedom began the day my mother sent me to kindergarten.That day, there was flying sand and rocks, and the wind was gusty, and then the wind stopped, and there was a light rain in the summer afternoon, and the people's faces were covered with yellow mud.I have only been in the world for more than a thousand days, how have I ever seen such a battle?I can't help but sigh: Oh, this world is really fucked up!

When I arrived at the kindergarten, a bunch of strange-looking children came running over to strike up a conversation, which made me very uncomfortable.I never talk to people.They just ask silly stupid questions like "Have you ever eaten a banana?" What shit bananas, I still have sugar triangles in my schoolbag, do you make any sense?I cried bitterly for a few times, and finally took the opportunity to swallow the sugar triangle and eggs safely, and then Shi Shiran allowed my aunt to help me pee, and finally ran away in the afternoon.That was the beginning of my constant truancy throughout my life.

In the long time since then, I have learned that the nature of the world is competitive.Talk about qualifications in everything.If you want to do something without being ridiculed, you have to have a rank.Crystal shoes and pumpkin carriages are Cinderella's level, Zidane is the level of Real Madrid a few years ago, sky-high priced cigarettes are the level of the bureau chief who was picked out by netizens.I read a novel in which there was a girl who went to a school for the rich, and she said, "Do you know what the greatest advantage of being rich is? You can say you have no money!"

So in general, freedom is like a cherry, and your rank in society is the cake, and the bigger the cake, the prettier the cherry.But I always think, why can't it be reversed?I just want to use freedom as a cake and level as a cherry. I found it really not easy.When Fan Paopao was being teased, I thought, this guy did nothing wrong.He is just afraid, and then he can say that his own fear is more hierarchical than others' not afraid.I read his reflections on education or something, and it's actually not bad.He advocated a true historical education, but also tried to avoid killing the children's nature.If I had such a teacher when I was young, I would still like to send him a wall calendar during the Chinese New Year.

But do you think about why everyone mocked him and didn't listen to what he said at all?Because his freedom is not great enough.His cake wasn't big enough so his cherries looked wilted.If Russell had said those words without changing a word, everyone would have been admiring: Hey, shrimp is called wisdom?Shrimp is maverick? It can be inferred from this that the reason why I can mention that I have been playing truant since kindergarten must be because I think I have reached a level in learning that I will not be laughed at.You may not have thought of it, although I don't know a few words, I still graduated from a university!Of course, I must admit that I never took a few serious classes until college.

I believe it was a good educational experience, although not the best.I think the best educational experience is that when you were a child, you played piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, played football in the city youth team when you were a teenager, and went to an Ivy League school when you grew up, where you learned history from Fairbank and mathematics from Nash.If such good things don't happen to you, then the next best thing is to make a 180-degree turn, which is almost like me.Even, a little less and a little more amateurish education may not be bad.For example, I've always admired the natural, buoyant sense of humor of guys who didn't go to college.The worst possible thing is to go to a mediocre college and behave yourself.Think about what you have learned in the campus that lacks freedom, think about the Amitabha Buddha you read with the teacher in class, think about the seductive singing of the birds outside the window at that time, and use a slogan: You are being tricked!

There is a saying in the West: It is never too late to be free.But I also feel that freedom is never too early. Now I am not as greedy for freedom as I was when I was a child.I have never realized so deeply that freedom is a necessity.This is because one has to try to get out of the "system" as much as possible.I mean those things in the world around us that we take for granted because we are used to it.I read a book and realized how righteous and idealistic terrorists are.But have you ever seen anything uglier than what they did?They are "institutionalized" people who believe in a "culture" that is so absurd yet so tenacious.
