Why do most people like stability ?, People like stability?
What is "stability 」? Stability is not a balance, and stability is not persistent. The scientific definition of stability is the ability to resist external interference. In other words, stability is not about the quality of the state, but about whether the original state can be maintained, even if the State is not so ideal.
If you feel that you are "stable", you can stay in the current position without any effort, because you are in the "minimum energy" state. If you do not work hard, you will not fall, and there will be no consequences, but it is not because you will not fall, but because you have reached a very low point, there is no lower place to fall nearby.
Maybe you will say, how can this happen? I am better than many people and cannot be at the lowest point. Yes, so I am talking about "extremely low", not "lowest 」.
「 All animals are born equal, but some animals are more equal than other animals 」. Maybe your very low point is even higher than the very high point of many people. Maybe you don't realize that you are born with it, but it may be what others are pursuing. You may understand that what you are trying to catch up with is just the starting point of others.
I do not think that "crawling up" is always good. I do not think it makes sense to say that "people go high, water goes low. I just think that such "stability" is invisible as a cage and a constraint. Even if you want to go out and see it, sometimes it will be overwhelmed by your own gravity, and you will pull yourself back to the original position.
"Stability" means that the possibility of change is lost, whether it is good or bad. "Stability" is good because it eliminates the possibility of deterioration, but "stability" also has a disadvantage because it also shields the possibility of better. Whether the advantage is greater than the disadvantage, or the disadvantage is greater than the advantage, you need to pay your own attention.
I personally think that the path of life is so wide and there are so many possibilities that I intentionally or unintentionally bound myself to the "stable" Basin, it is more or less difficult to sit down and look at the sky. Take a walk, take a look, and pull up the sails to see the real sea, even if it requires a lot of effort, even if there is a possibility of a storm, it is better than lying in a safe haven of "stability.
One day, you overcame the shackles of "stability" and your laziness and inertia. after a bitter battle, you finally stood on an extremely high point of instability. Maybe you will feel that the rest of your life is a smooth journey. But one day, you will find that the real life is like this. Ups and downs, twists and turns, sometimes fall into the bottom, sometimes the dark.
Knowing the reality of life, I am still willing to go out of the "stable" small oasis and embark on the treasure and picturesque path. I think this is truly brave and optimistic.
======================================
When I traveled to Guilin, I chatted with the boatman on the Lijiang River.
"You are so happy to see the beautiful scenery every day ."
"Are you waiting for 30 years ?!"
The so-called "stability", even the enviable "stability", is essentially --
You want to change but cannot.
Every fat man understands this.
