Why is it a luxury to have a quiet mind to read?

See a problem in the knowledge, read after the benefit, think or excerpt here, in case you can inadvertently revisit. The question is, why does it feel like studying in college is a luxury ?

High school Quiet Heart reading is a kind of enjoyment and common things, however, on the university, around a lot of people and I, by the school, employment, community activities and other pressure, quiet heart reading less time. Junior, people around except IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT and so on, seldom see other books! What kind of phenomenon is this?

The answer to Hannibal Lecter is thoughtful:

Today, after-hours tutorial to do a few to do Seminario Xiao Shuo, whim want to eat onion oil thousand layer cake. Outside the rain, cold, look at home plush carpet, Philips Humidifier, central heating, leather sofa, instantly do not want to go out to the Chinese supermarket to buy finished products. There are eggs, noodles, onions and oil in the fridge, so do it yourself.

A person in the overseas nearly ten years, own bake a cake already is not what difficult, do not say pancake, knowledge and experience in place, bake pizza, make bread, point bean curd, hot pot is minute of matter. Cut onions, noodles, fried ghee, these are all organized.

I am also a love kitchen, love to cook, love banquet people, but do not know is old, or tired, today hunched over the stove on more than half an hour, make a few pancake, suddenly there is a moment, it feels a bit monotonous, bored, scarce. I want to take the apron off, lying on the sofa, called a few Filipino maids, rubbing feet rubbing feet, peel banana peel Banana, pat of pat, twist waist twist waist, shake the butt of the hip, wait for my blockbuster, what Kun Tintalentino ah, Lubitsch ah, Billy Wilder ah brush, wine drink, what Twinings Ah, will be rich ah bubble.

Just think about it ...

I have to go back to reality and bite the bullet to finish the whole onion pancake project.

NM weather cold can not open the window, lampblack on my face, hair, shirts, although there is a ventilation system, also useless.

NM Oil temperature high bar to paste the pot, oil temperature is low, half a day is not good ..... I have to be like an idiot. Stand in front of this stove and finish commercial production.

At this time, looking at the construction site, especially to clean up the sticky paste of the hand, cleaning up those greasy grease on the stove, I think, occasionally to edify under the sentiment is very good, if every day to come a full set, or a little can not afford.

Recalled just in the living room with a cup, moving lip lecture for a while, the money took the scene, I can not help but think, those streets or shine rain sell pancake fruit, to a certain extent, is how hard ah . Of course, the success of the boss is another, if you are only a start-up 250, or to sell the labor of the junior staff, then every day must be and this heap of YOUYANJIANGCU smoke procedures to deal with, not only to purchase, processing, but also to consider sales, aftercare, in addition to Labor, but also to care, NM cold, Hot, more, less, expensive, cheap, tired, pay the rent, Chengguan came ....

I have a day to cook for the joy of people have tired, and this as the industry, on which to earn a living, is how realistic . (It can be analogous to programming for the industry, writing code to write a lifetime is not easy unless programming is your true love.) All the perseverance is due to lack of love. ）

In contrast, there is capital calm down, the heart without side loans to read, or to Aizhi to seek truth for the industry, is a very happy thing, indeed, only a very few people, only this qualification, but unfortunately, too many people have this qualification, did not cherish, was the bright and flashy colorful side of the colorful attraction, will be wasted capital.

Today, I tutor the second generation of the Chinese younger brother asked me, why he around a lot of friends, 66-year-old at work, and he is still reading. I answered him, yes, they want to survive, every day to make a living must go out to work, earn money to support themselves, of course, they can also learn survival skills in the process, including moving bricks, keep shop, stock, order goods, accounts ...

"Then why am I reading here?" The little brother asked curiously.

"Because your parents are wayward," I answered him, "Do you know that reading is going to cost money?" However, your parents chose not to let you go to cash, but let you read, they do not rest every day, earn money, for you, so you can sit here, without any pressure and burden, absorb knowledge, have the opportunity to change a way to earn money, change a level to earn money, do not have to move bricks, not in hard ... "

After that, the little brother picked up the word book, dozens of things half an hour back.

Sometimes I think, children listen to understand the truth, many college students have always pretended to ignore, deaf. In the university, whether it is undergraduate, master, or doctor, regardless of undergraduate, PhD, or Master's book, as long as can be quiet down to read, read, read, after reading, indeed are very extravagant things.

Because when you read, you have to have this economic, intellectual capital, 90% of the world's people, basically there is no these two conditions . After you have read, knowledge is your easy access to the rich capital of profits, basically, a lot of people do not read, but also do not have this resource.

After all, most people spend a lot of material resources, pay a great price, after how much of the fittest, how many generations of effort, to send a few people to that can let our vision reach the limits of the wisdom of the high tower, many of the end of their lives, are just at the bottom of the tower, muddle through, complete the transfer of genes, Its life can no longer achieve any value .

Those who are in the fence are not the Giants ' livestock, but only a handful of talented people who are chosen voluntarily and chosen may become members of the Corps of inquiry, outside the walls to understand the unknown world full of dangers and surprises. And these scholars, is not the cattle in the eyes of the investigation Corps? So, others eat and drink for a lifetime satisfied, dead, and you actually have the mind to read, this is really how extravagant things!

But then again, do you think that reading is just capital for capital? It's so simple. The master Qian Zhongshu once said, "Perhaps the knowledge is the desolate River wild old house two or three Susan person to discuss the matter, Asaichi's school will idiomatic study." "To be a Susan in the old house of the desolate river, there is a little bit of boldness and capital."

So here's another thing to share with you, Hiroichi, the instructor takes us to the school auditorium every week to put a movie. At first, everyone is to mix credits, flattery to go, the boss's activities, more participation, always have the advantage. I this boss is a never fish for fame, bent on studying, knowledgeable's uncle, at the same time is a talk, we often accompany him a bubble is an afternoon, very uncomfortable.

In this way, unconsciously after two or three years, and there is no one in the middle of every day to do 10 years of college entrance examination five years of simulation of a class of spoon, but occasionally organized learning what Max Weber, Saussure, Adam Smith, Pierce, Lacauve is commonplace, the beginning always someone BB, What kind of eggs do you have for a dead wife who is rich in God? Even some people in the classroom in public to mentor Big uncle.

Grandpa Face red, can only squeeze out a sentence, a man can not so realistic Satan.

That is, after two or three years, walk, stay, someone married and have children, some employment entrepreneurship, some concentrated on the books, and finally left, not the majority.

But when we get together again, we find--

Some people open their mouths to care about where the clothes are discounted, where the luxury again out of the new style, but also sell the kidneys, where the market price down hurriedly to stock goods;

Some people are concerned about, I again accounted for the company how much cheaper, that who the fuck more than I asked for two days leave is unpleasant.

What we are concerned about is what the world is like, how I am, how it should be with this chaotic chaos of the universe, and thus the wisdom and refinement to live out the meaning.

Suddenly feel that these people around, if not special background, most people are in embarrassment, because these external, material, the reality of things, to be happy, May to die, are in the materialistic tempting, not free, and those who come from the family, but also not seen free, more shoulder the worry of how much material outside.

They think you are so, and you think they are so vulgar, no one can see who.

We have over the years, through reading, sensible forms of thinking and behavior habits, are quietly nourishing our not extravagant life , when we come close to the truth, enjoy the warmth they bring to us, enjoy only a few people can understand the stems, such as the Alan Turing's bicycle chain, Foucault's pipe, Schrodinger's cat ... At this moment, we hold a beck of the moment of the existence of the joy, this is to rely on wisdom to obtain the luxury of power, this is the intrinsic will never lose the property, like "Shawshank Redemption" no one can take away the hero of the brain of Mozart.

In some people's view, we are looking for, we ourselves may have been not grounded in the strange coffee, but the middle of the happiness, some people in this life can not understand.

Ferrari for two days, not hit dead, or be killed;

Hermès for two days, not to change, and still want to buy a new one;

Whitewash to be thicker, can not conceal 60, 70-year-old wrinkles;

Tai Ba Play for a few years, tens of thousands of posture used up and can not hit any of the tricks ...

So the last many people so-called juvenile TTg, in the end there are conditions, but by drugs, relying on death to high.

As everyone knows, oneself and others in the brain can set off the climax of the place, you go to the death of the development of endless. Many people are confused, self-righteous life, but ultimately did not open the door to spiritual bliss.

The same is lost on the trek ship on the poor ants, also is the chaos is pushed to death helpless creatures, when we enjoy the "breeze blowing through the woods" this kind of world the most beautiful things, learn to die on the road more leisurely and calm rather than more hysterical, learn to honorable and fate bargain, What are you admiring?

Hannibal Lecter answer is to let a person waking wake up, calm down to read is a small part can enjoy the luxury of things, improve their spiritual cultivation and realm, open view of the world's vision, to enter the true spiritual bliss. People will die, flowers, the pursuit of material is endless, some seemingly valuable things are actually meaningless. When you dive into the heart, collect the world view of everyone, the books to pick up shellfish, by a bit of the gradual misunderstanding into a single epiphany, a new world may appear in front of you.
