Be happy in the face of work.
Because, if you really don't have a job, you will definitely be unhappy. I mean, even if you don't worry about eating and drinking and realize your freedom of life, you are not happy when you are idle.
Did you feel bored staying at home for a few months or even half a year at a special time the year before last? Do you feel that your life is out of order?
If you work a lot on weekdays and suddenly give you a few days off, you probably don't know what to do.
I don't want to take the initiative to do it without anything specific.
Without the work in front of me, I won't get up early in the morning to run, take a shower and go to work.
When I'm not at work, I can sleep until nine o'clock. The sun is high and it's too bright outside. I got up in a daze, had brunch, accidentally arrived at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and then continued to be in a daze, watching my mobile phone and rubbing my eyes. One day has passed.
Without realistic work to supervise, a day spent in the fog will not feel happy and meaningful.
I used to think that those who have free wealth, those who don't have to work, will they feel happy if they really don't work?
Why are those successful people? Wealth can never be spent, they have to force themselves to work hard.
Once people are idle for a long time, they will feel useless.
Just like a car, if it is left idle for a long time, it will slowly corrode and rust, but the performance of the car that is often used is still good.
Nothing, just let nature take its course. Isn't that the life of those beggars? Who would envy a beggar's life?
"People are more popular than others, don't compare with others, compare with yourself". Although it is comforting to some extent, if there is really no reference in this life, will it be happy and stable?
Than, is inevitable. No better than not knowing, no better than not making progress. Of course it is.
But compare it moderately.
Secular standards, what is the mainstream life like, at least one level, in line with the current civilization. Being able to make everything go smoothly in daily life and lead a quiet and stable life is already a good practice, which requires great efforts.
First of all, to keep up with the progress of education, to have a job with a relatively stable income, not to be bullied by the surrounding areas, and to have strong inner self-confidence and courage, as well as a certain social status.
Which one needs considerable effort and effort to get and get secular rewards.
In Russell's article, why should we work? Maybe he wrote the answer I wanted.
Hugging bear said:
If you have something to do, you are happy, even if you don't feel this happiness.
"Be content, there are people not as good as you. You don't know when you will be blessed. "
Do you often hear that when you are dissatisfied with life, friends around you often comfort you like this?
Russell analyzed the root causes of the problems of those moaners who have no disease. Because there are too many choices, they have no choice and don't know how to act.
Russell believes that,
Therefore, if a person can arrange his own free time, he must be a lovely person with strong action, happiness and a strong sense of accomplishment.
If you are such a person, congratulations, you have reached the advanced stage of civilization, have you realized the ideal society ahead of schedule?
In life, if a person takes the initiative to exercise, run, study and read, everyone will think that this person is very self-disciplined. It was already a high stage of civilization to be able to arrange his free time independently.
Russell also said that many smart rich people work day and night like the poor, while the rich women are mostly busy with countless trivial things, as if what they pursue is extremely important.
In the vernacular, it is actually looking for trouble and enriching yourself.
Work is a platform, a platform to show our ambitions and abilities.
Even if you don't want to show your ambition and ability at work, you will actively look for a platform to show and prove yourself.
Everyone will make efforts in some aspect, prove to life that they can, and send a signal of challenge to fate. Even if the final result is not satisfactory, they can't stop going all out.
This is a rare move.
Therefore, even if work is not your favorite job, it is better to support yourself first in order to make a living.
Once you have an active choice, you can take the initiative to choose what you want to do, so you must sprint on such a platform to show yourself better.
An elder once said to me, "Work is the best health."
I didn't understand this sentence at first. Later, after my uncle retired, he continued to work at home, because he felt even more lost in the first month of retirement. Later, he found a job as a security guard and a cleaner. Every day, he feels full. He didn't slack off in his work, and he didn't feel derailed from society.
Everyone needs to work, just like sunshine, air and water.
