Bai Yansong once said in a show:

Although Baidu and Google are very popular, it is extremely easy to get information and knowledge, but there is no wisdom, only knowledge is less intelligent. It is not easy for the ancients to acquire knowledge, but they are wise and knowledgeless.

In short, the big information explosion has made us more accessible to knowledge, and the complicated information has always occupied our attention, but we have lost the ability to pursue wisdom and deep thinking, most of the knowledge. You don’t need it, it doesn’t matter.

In fact, there is more information. Modern society has extremely rich material, information, and opportunities. However, it does not necessarily mean that it is good. It may also make some people indulge in materiality, feel anxious about the future, and be confused about opportunities and choices.

This kind of news is endless:

A monthly salary of 3000, in order to satisfy the appetite, eat more than 2,000 pieces of crayfish every month;

India, 16-year-old boy, playing chicken games for 6 hours in a row, eventually dying;

White-collar workers are worried, and millions of loans are invested in P2P, and ultimately the blood is gone;

90 After the nurses hunted hundreds of thousands of debts for the pursuit of exquisite life, they were driven out of their homes;

White-collar workers have changed 24 jobs in 5 years, and dozens of resumes have been sent. No response…

In this impetuous society, we often think that “fast” and “more” are the last word, while “slow” and “less” seem to be the original sin, but actually live to the extreme People are often plain and restrained. The real high is precisely “slow” and “less”.

materialistic trap:You choose poor and low level of exquisiteness, or the first rich and then high level of exquisite?

With the enormous material and environmental environment, more and more young people are pursuing exquisite life and indulging themselves in material. They prefer to borrow and maintain “exquisiteness” that is inconsistent with their income.

Real exquisiteness is not to indulge your desire for consumption, but the elegance of taste, to make life more calm and enjoyable.

This is after Su Dongpo’s smashing of Huangzhou, he has tasted the leeks, new bamboo shoots, etc. prepared by his friends.
