The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 16 Spiritual Food
With the air conditioner blowing and the air conditioner quilt covering me, I felt so comfortable traveling around that I didn’t even want to get up.

Lying in your own home, on your own bed, no one is urging you, no one is looking for you, just sleep until you wake up naturally.

Sometimes I think about it, do I deserve to have such a life?
Bang, Zhou You gave himself a slap in the face, and he will not enjoy the blessings. Is this the sequelae of being brainwashed by society?I have brainwashed myself. If I don’t enjoy happiness, why should I endure hardship?
After waking up, I brushed my teeth and washed my face, went downstairs to find breakfast, and sat down to have a leisurely breakfast.A fried fried dough stick, a tea egg, a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, a small plate and some free side dishes.

I watched people around me either packing their bags or sitting there eating quickly and slowly.

The title of a song came to Zhou You's mind: We are different.

It's mid-August now.It’s summer vacation for students and teachers.This is a normal month for workers to work.

I used to be in it, but now I am a bystander, watching the people around me.As my feelings deepened, I gave Hao Yun's "Living" to the community animal:

Standing on a tall building every day

Looking at the little ants on the ground
their heads are big
their legs are thin
they are holding iphone
they wear nike adi
I'm going to be late for work

they are anxious

my poor jeep

I haven't climbed a mountain or crossed a river for a long time

he is in this city

been very depressing

Although he didn't say anything
But I know he's sad
I quietly make a wish
Take him to Mongolia
flustered
In a hurry
why life is always like this
Could it be that

My ideal
this is how you spend your life
Not humble
leisurely
Maybe life should be like this
Could it be that

Search again after 60 years old

the freedom i want
year by year fly by
or that little savings

There are many things I like but I still can’t afford them

life is always troublesome
I haven't gotten used to it yet
They say money is a bastard

but looks so good
In fact, I often tell myself

People must learn to be content and happy

But everything is a smile
what's the point
Humble workers sell their labor power in exchange for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In the past, people were only busy for three meals a day. In the farming era, they did not get much food, just enough to fill their stomachs.

Modern people almost never starve to death, but why are they busier than ancient people?
Zhou You still couldn't figure this out, or maybe he figured it out but didn't dare to say it.

When we were not rich in material things, we were happy if we had enough to eat and drink. Now we can eat and drink well every day.

Why don’t you have the time or energy to do the things you like?
Who is holding us back?

Zhou You returned to his room with these questions and thoughts. Looking at the empty study room, he felt filled with guilt. As a person who loves reading, leaving the study room empty and the bookcases empty is a great insult to himself.

I have thought about it more than once, when I have enough space and money to buy books, what books will I buy?Now it's time for him to fulfill his wish.

First, buy all the books you have read before and the books you want to read again and again.

Many books need to be read and read over and over again, and you will gain something every time you read them.

I once read a book called "The Book Is Finished", written by Jin Kemu.When he saw this book, he couldn't help but sneered. How arrogant, arrogant, and ignorant this person must be to dare to say such a thing. He looked at the score and found it was 8 points upward. That's OK, look. one time.

The content is extensive and profound, covering a wide range of topics, mostly classical literature. It contains the author's reading experience, other classic reading insights and reading methods.

There are only a few dozen classics that have been circulated in China for thousands of years. After reading these dozens of books and thoroughly reading them, you can basically understand society and how it operates.Open JD.com and first buy a set of the most complete version of One Hundred Thousand Whys. This is Zhou You’s dream. Zhou You loved reading when he was a child, but there were not many books to read in the countryside. At that time, he was very curious about the world and always asked why?I annoyed my parents by asking them why I would buy [-] for you in the future. Unfortunately, I never saw it.

When I got older and bought a house, I looked at the small area of ​​my house, but I couldn't bear to spare a study room. . .

Many young people’s dreams of studying have been erased bit by bit by reality.

Staying curious, simply loving reading, and constantly discovering the world are his dreams of traveling and the source of happiness in his life.

You must buy the Four Books and Five Classics. In the past, these books were demonized and thought to be feudal waste, and I rarely read them when I traveled around. It was not until I was frustrated and started to calm down and read these classics that I realized how ridiculous they were.

These books can be circulated for thousands of years. They are not only tools for social rule, but also the source of Chinese spiritual civilization. Our words and deeds, our life principles, and the operation of our society are all in these books.

The four books are "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius".

The Five Classics are the Book of Songs, the Book of Documents, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Annals.

Zhuangzi must also be bought. Zhuangzi is the gatekeeper of his own study refuge and has a supreme status.
I would rather drag my tail on the paint than leave my bones in the hall.

A free life is the life chosen by Zhuangzi.

Fame and wealth are just embellishments of life, not the essence of life.

I also want to buy Laozi’s Tao Te Ching.

Legalism is also a focus, and governing the country is known as external Confucianism and internal law, and it is also one of the fundamental books.

Buying books is like a landslide, reading is like spinning threads.

Buying books is addictive. When you buy books, you also have the illusion of buying knowledge.

I bought dozens of classical books, dozens of history books, and more than a dozen psychology books.

I also bought more than a dozen books on economics such as Marx and Capital.

There is also the most important anthology of Mao Zedong.

As a library major, I always believe that when working in the library, Grandpa Mao must be happy. Books can give people strength and comfort.

Throughout the dynasties, there were very few people with a background like Mao Zedong, and only Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang could compare with them.

The Selected Works of Mao Zedong are the essence of thinking and the condensation of thought.Nowadays, many books talk about the thinking of rich people and the thinking of poor people. They are just exaggerations to attract attention.

Only Mao Zedong Thought is the true essence. Whether it is used in work or in life, it is a good guiding light.

There are actual cases and specific operations, and different methods are used in different eras.

The books written by many people later were either ghostwritten by others, fabricated out of thin air, or sold out by Wang Po.As time goes by, these books will eventually become the butt of jokes and be thrown into the trash.

It's so cool, Zhou You couldn't help but feel a burst of joy when he saw so many books coming soon.

So many books are indeed not cheap, almost 5000.

According to my previous consumption level, I really couldn't bear to buy so much at once. I mostly went to the library to read books.

You can’t read books without borrowing them. That’s to force yourself and give yourself a time limit.

When reading is a hobby, this statement does not exist.

　I have read them all by new authors and found them good, so I recommend them.
