What does it mean not to be on the same page as others?

Idioms are treasures left to us by our ancestors - these treasures are not displayed in history museums, but are active in our lives - whether talking or writing, we often Use an idiom inadvertently. However, every idiom has its own meaning and usage rules. If you use idioms casually, you will make a joke.

Today, our opponent is a very common idiom: general knowledge.

There are many apps that publish short videos, such as Douyin, Huoshan Video, Kuaishou, etc. I also downloaded one. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I won’t tell you which one I use. . A few days ago, I saw a short video with the following content:

Two men were drinking tea and chatting.

Left: Hey, you are so smart. I want to ask, what is the secret of your happiness?

Right (smiles): It’s simple, I never argue with fools.

Left: Hey, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe you can stay happy just by doing this. You must have other ways!

Right (nodding): Well, Everything you said is right.

Whether you understand it or not, I understand it anyway, haha. In this video, a smart man said that the secret of his happiness is not to argue with xx - this can actually be replaced by "not to have the same knowledge as xx".

The picture comes from the Internet

General knowledge means: looking at problems in the same way. "Not having the same knowledge as xx" refers to arguing with people who have different knowledge and poor cultivation.

If the two people in the video look at the problem in the same way, that is, "general knowledge", they may argue over "Is there any other way", just like two people of about the same grade? It's the same as a child arguing over "have you got it or not".

However, usually when we use this idiom, the purpose is mostly to show that "I am different from you", so the negative sentence structure is often used: Not as knowledgeable as xx.

The picture comes from the Internet

Of course, once you use "not as knowledgeable as xx", it means that you think the other person's knowledge or cultivation is poor, and you somewhat look down on the other person. If the other person is your elder or someone you care about, it is better not to use this idiom.

Can you use the idiom "general knowledge"?
