Chapter 39 The Higher Self
"The poor are becoming increasingly innocent, and the wealth is becoming increasingly greedy."
——Yao He's "Xinchangli"
This poem is written so well. If you go to the grassroots level and experience the sufferings of the people, you won’t think about fame and fortune. Because they are so miserable, everyone has compassion and can’t help but want to help.
They do something practical for them. If they deal with the rich too much, they are not as good as their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everyone has the desire to compete. In this way, it will be difficult to maintain a pure heart.
Ted's speech "never, evergiveup", the speaker's two words are very good:
“youcanchaseyoudreamsatanyage; iamalwaysat theprime of mylife.” (No age can stop you from chasing your dreams; every day is the pinnacle of life.)
The two quotes are good:
One is Socrates: "tobeistodo" (you have to do something when you are alive). There is also a saying on the Internet: "todoistobe" (tossing is also a way of living), which is said to be Sartre's famous saying.
The other is Thoreau's: "whenyouachieveyoudreams, it'einachieving them". (What we realize is not dreams, but higher self.)
