In the world, will you really be free?

The so-called freedom depends on what you think in your heart.

Some people say, "I'm not in anyone's hands, and that's freedom."

So, you're living in a society where you're bound by so many rules, and you're really free?

Not necessarily, right? Not to mention complicated, in fact, people have always been free and not free, why?

Freedom is because you can do whatever you want, provided you don't care about other people's opinions, and it's hard to say if you're successful.

The reason for not being free is that there are various rules and regulations, such as parents want their children to become dragons and phoenixes, children want to have independent space, and so on.

To sum up, my personal suggestion is that we are all driving our own pitiful share of freedom in a large space that is not free!

But relatively speaking, as the age increases, the degree of freedom increases relatively slowly from small-large-old. That's pretty much it.

There is no absolute freedom, only relative freedom.

I feel that freedom is not about being able to do whatever you want, but about not doing what you don't want to do.

There will be, as long as you want, you have that capital.

I woke up at half past four this morning, and suddenly remembered this sentence, and suddenly burst into tears.

This sentence comes from the modern writer Qi Jinnian's "Dust Song": "Where the heart desires, the past is followed, life is like a reverse journey, and a reed is sailing." ”

Interpretation: Where you want to go, even if you wear simple straw sandals, you have to go there. Life is like a journey against friends, even if it is a flat boat, it is boring to set sail forward.

I often wonder, what are we looking for after all our busy lives? For the sake of fame? Or is it pro? When I was young, I always cared about fame and profit, but now I find that what I have been looking for is actually freedom.

A few years ago, some people on the Internet complained that they could not realize the freedom of cherries, in fact, this kind of complaining is not complaining about the high price of cherries, nor is it complaining about their low income, because the complaints that follow the freedom of cherries are a series of freedoms, the freedom of marriage for older women, the freedom of coffee for married mothers, the freedom of travel for working women, and the freedom of eating and drinking for people with three highs......For a while I even felt like I didn't have the freedom to sleep, didn't I? I wake up every day with an alarm clock instead of a dream, and I long to sleep until I wake up naturally!

I remember when my husband quit his job to study for a doctorate, I used to complain that he was too tormented, originally we both worked in a public school in Shunde, we had no worries about food and clothing, lived in such a big house, everything was so stable, why should we live a separate life away from our families again? My husband told me at the time that he really didn't like to be tied down to work, the kind of work that had to be monitored by the leader during the day was a torment every day, and he hoped to have a job with a higher degree of freedom, and then he studied for a doctorate and went to work in the university, although there were many unsatisfactory, but his heart was free, which was enough.

After my son went to college, because he didn't buy a house in Shenzhen, he didn't have financial pressure, he could achieve shopping freedom, weekend freedom, and short trips could basically do whatever he wanted, and more importantly, I could be a class teacher without worry, accompany a group of children to grow up, and lead a group of young people forward, although it seems that I am busy all day long, but doing what I like makes me feel the freedom of life.

Rousseau said: "Human beings are born free, but they are always in shackles, we all want to be free, but freedom has a bottom line, which shows that although our life emphasizes the demand for freedom, it is full of shackles, and we can't do without shackles." ”

The premise of freedom is restraint, and true cultivation is to restrain oneself and adhere to social rules and inner moral principles when no one pays attention to or restricts oneself; In the case of all kinds of bad things that can be done, it is still necessary to do good things.

There is no absolute freedom, that is, freedom must be bound by the rules of justice that are fair and impartial. To put it simply, freedom is not to the detriment of the interests of others. The ancients said that do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself.

It has been said that a university is a country's morality, and it can be known by looking at the quality of a country, and sometimes it can be known by looking at the attitude of a university towards a book.

Late one night in 1764, a fire destroyed the library of Harvard University, destroying many precious books.

The next day, the whole school learned of the major accident, and one student was particularly solemn, and the sudden fire pushed the ordinary student into a special position, forcing him to make a choice.

It turned out that before that, he had violated the rules of the library by quietly taking a book donated by a priest out of the library, preparing to return it after reading it in a leisurely manner.

Suddenly, the book became the only rare book out of 250 books donated by Harvard. What to do? Is it to take it for himself without knowing it, or to admit its mistakes openly?

After a fierce ideological struggle, the student knocked on the door of the principal's office, explained the reason, and solemnly returned the book to the school.

The president of Harvard first accepted the book to express his gratitude and reward the student for returning the book, and then pointed out that he had violated the school rules by smuggling the book and expelled him from the school.

Why do you have to do this? Because Harvard's philosophy is that it is safer and more effective to keep school rules and discipline in Harvard than to guard Harvard with other things.

To put it bluntly, Harvard's philosophy is that Harvard does not believe that people can still abide by morality in places where the rules cannot be supervised and cannot be seen by the human eye.

Put yourself to the test. Live with integrity where no one can see it; Even when you're alone, you act with etiquette. Only after truly doing these things can one truly become a noble existence.

To become a blind and noble being, in addition to being worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of others, and more importantly, worthy of one's own heart. This is not an easy task, read the notes).
