Schopenhauer: Human nature has a common "weakness", so do you and me.

People are rational, emotional, restrained, licentious, restrained and indulgent. In the eyes of philosophers, human nature is profound and direct, simple and complex.

Schopenhauer, as the most famous philosopher in Germany 200 years ago, is famous for his voluntarism. He even thinks that the will to life can be a dominant force, which has some defects in exaggerating mental function. Let's not go into his philosophy itself, just look at his words about human nature to see if they are profound.

Schopenhauer's words have three meanings:

First, admit that this is a weakness of human nature.

I don't know if Schopenhauer himself is also deeply troubled by this weakness, obsessed with other people's eyes and evaluations of himself. He should also have this experience and confusion, coupled with his observation of others, to come to this conclusion.

There are too many examples in life, because of other people's comments and eyes, we give up or dare not do what we originally wanted to do. We are afraid to stand up and speak because we are afraid of being laughed at by our classmates for answering wrong questions; We gave up the opportunity to take part in the speech contest because we were afraid that our speech was not fluent enough. At work, we are ashamed to express ourselves, because we are afraid of others gossiping and lose the chance of promotion.

There are some weaknesses in human nature that no one can avoid. What is the difference? Some people realized this and bravely took their own steps under the gaze of others. Finally, they succeeded. Successful people are surprised to find that as long as they break through that thin layer of paper, the other side is a radiant new world. Cowardly, unable to taste new flavor.

Second, when we care about other people's opinions, what do we care about?

What is face? This is a simple but difficult question to answer. Reason tells us that even if we do it, it's no big deal, it's just a shame at most, that's all. However, sensibility is pulling our body and mind, making us unable to act. We spent day after day hesitating with Nuo Nuo and missed opportunities again and again.

What do we really care about when we care about what others think of us? Is it to win a good reputation? Let others say that I am excellent? Or praise me for my smart performance and beautiful work. What will happen if we screw up? The worst result is not so bad, but why are we so afraid and hesitant?

Numerous philosophical sayings and wise men tell us that it is different to try more, not afraid of failure, and go forward bravely, but it is still difficult to take the first step every time. The essence of the problem is probably that as long as we go beyond the most difficult time in front, the back will be much easier. Those who have crossed it are glad and surprised to find this trick, but those who have never tried it will never know the mystery inside.

Third, we are always looking at others from the corner of our eyes and gossiping about others.

Those of us who are afraid of others' comments and opinions are also participants. We will laugh, talk and even gossip. It is a fact that the weak are inevitably discussed, despised and despised. No matter how fair a person is, he can't escape this kind of thinking subconsciously, because it is also human nature. The strong naturally win the admiration and admiration of others. At this point, human nature seems to have no intermediate state, and it is either ridiculed or worshipped, or ridiculed or worshipped.

There is a saying, annoying people, laughing people. Cold and realistic, we can't simply deny humanity. We can only say that this is a phenomenon. Although sometimes it is gentle, hidden and changeable, it is nothing more than that in essence. This is the fact.

People who can jump out of this strange circle are either wise or brave. Ignoring other people's eyes requires wisdom, courage, perseverance, experience and even a thorough understanding of the heart. When we see the essence of things clearly, it may not be so difficult for us to do it.
