Chapter 6 Loneliness(1/2)

Where did you talk about...

Yes...I didn't want to write this originally.

I also felt that the previous article (referring to Chapter 4) was not complete enough.

After talking about absolute loneliness, how can we not talk about relative loneliness.

Just one sentence: If you can bear it, no matter how heavy it is, it doesn't matter; if you can't, no matter how light it is, it will be fatal.

Lin Yutang said: "The word loneliness can be separated into two words: children, fruits, puppies, mosquitoes and flies. It is enough to hold up an alleyway in the midsummer evening. It is full of human touch. Children hold melons and willows under the canopy, and dogs chase butterflies.

In the deep alley, the world is bustling and full of laughter, but I am the only one with free hair on my temples. Children, fruits, cats, dogs, and flies are certainly lively, but they have nothing to do with you. This is called loneliness."

Zhu Ziqing: "The excitement is theirs, I have nothing."

There is a difference between loneliness and loneliness.

I think... many times, loneliness is a subjective and active choice. It can even be a pursuit.

It's a bit like "put yourself to death and live again".

Loneliness does not mean negativity.

Loneliness is the self-enclosure of a person's living space and state of existence. Lonely people will be separated from the social group and live in a negative state.

What is this written about (junk stuff)?

Why is it so negative to be separated from a social group?

It is not necessary to integrate into human society in order to produce value, meaning, and beauty...

Speaking of this, I think of the documentary "The Last Hunter" again.

I also remembered that my family members said that those who forget about food and sleep for the sake of science or art, and who are out of touch with society, are failures.

I want to retort: ​​Without these people, there would be no human beings today.

But I didn't. I know very well that many times, debate is useless.

Just have your own opinions.

It's not that loneliness is a good thing, but...

It is no exaggeration to say that part of human culture and even civilization is supported by lonely people and their loneliness.

Loneliness is not just self-isolation.

I think of the frustrated literati in ancient times.

Being relegated, is it lonely?

"It's hard to say goodbye when we meet." Isn't it lonely?

"Where can I wake up tonight?" Is it loneliness?

Unresolvable (temporary or permanent) depression is loneliness.

"Even if there are thousands of customs, who should I tell them to?"

"It's not enough for outsiders."

closed book.

Isolate yourself. In fact, it is a... common trend.

“As we travel further and further away, we gradually lose our books” and “the older we grow, the lonelier we become”.

People are gradually "unwilling to open their hearts".

In other words, sometimes the purpose of self-isolation is: self-protection.

I don't want to be hurt, so I build a mental barrier and lock myself in it.

As for whether you can break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly after being trapped in a cocoon, it's hard to say...

A song comes to mind, "After this cigarette is out".

Well, it seems that the style of painting has changed a bit.

I used to really like this song.

I also thought of the song "I'm Sorry I Love You".

This song... seems to have three versions: Japanese, Korean and Chinese.

The original version is again, no doubt in Japanese (wry smile).

Ah, talk about cigarettes.

I used to see people putting cigarettes on their ears, and I thought it was a bit cool.

Why do you say smoke?

Because loneliness is like: there is smoke but no fire.

This doesn't seem like a very good metaphor.

I guess...those who read these words today, including myself, do not smoke.

(To tell you an interesting story, one time when I returned to my hometown, I was taken to visit some distant relatives that I was not very familiar with. Everyone present had smoked two rounds of cigarettes, and I... had two rounds of "smoking" as everyone else did.)

But I still want to write down this not so good metaphor.

Art is that fire.

(Not necessarily limited to art, just an analogy)

What to use to light the fire.

Matches? Lighter?

Matches. I am reminded of a song, "The Way i Am" by Ingrid.

Lighter, zippo comes to mind.

I also think of the flint in the lighter.

This flint is quite interesting. It may not be seen now.

It's only found in older lighters.

A lonely person is like a shooting star.

The loneliness of the lonely is the light of the shooting star.

Wang Guowei's "Human Words": "Nietzsche said that all literary residual love is written in blood. The words of the late master are really said to be written in blood."

I seem to be off topic again. I am relatively lonely, right (actually I made up the name blindly).

I searched a lot on the Internet. Just search, "Benefits of Loneliness".

Autistic. In fact, I would like to say that many creators of masterpieces are not good at dealing with people.

People often think of this as a problem or even a personality flaw.

People tend to think that extroversion is normal and healthy.

Copy a paragraph online.

In addition to Nobel, Newton, Einstein, Marie Curie, Leonardo da Vinci, Bill Gates and many other geniuses are also introverts.

(This "also" was added by myself. According to the above, the meaning of the word "except" is equal to besides. But I did not copy the above, so not adding "also" may cause misunderstanding. Or maybe it's just me.

Considered.)

After studying a large number of introverts, scholar Susan Cain said: "Introverts are naturally good at focusing on the inner spiritual world, which gives them superb insight and understanding. They are good at sorting and absorbing external information.

, become your own content, rather than simply accepting or denying it entirely."

Before, before "human civilization" (probably in the sixth paragraph; I think of a word, "natural paragraph"), there should be this sentence: A person can also be a universe.

Absolute loneliness will lead to the rapid destruction of the universe, but relative loneliness will not.

Just like, in the universe, the earth is also lonely.

The earth is also self-enclosed, using its magnetic field and atmosphere.

If not, there would be no living things.

Having said this, I find that there seems to be some... sneaky change of concepts?

Anyway, as long as you can understand it. Loneliness ≠ Self-isolation ≠ Introversion ≠ Negativity. The reason why they are mentioned together is because there is a certain degree of similarity.

Introverted. Focused.

I know about Newton's apple.

What about Leonardo da Vinci...painting eggs?
