What does it mean to "have a tiger in your heart and smell the roses"? What philosophy does it contain?

"With a tiger in my heart, I smell the roses" is a poem written by the British poet Sigreve Sassoon. It comes from "To Me, Past, Present and Future". Like the poem itself, this sentence The words are very philosophical, only eight words short, but they contain three aspects of content and principles that are easily ignored by people in daily life: the characteristics and laws of human nature, and the wisdom of life.

Let’s make a simple summary first, that is, "There is a tiger in the heart, and the rose is smelled carefully." First of all, in terms of human characteristics, it points out that people have both masculine and feminine sides, telling us that when we look at and evaluate a person, You must have a critical eye and not be rigid.

Secondly, from the perspective of the law, this sentence also shows a law similar to the Chinese Taoist thought of "the weak overcomes the strong". That is, according to the logic of this sentence, it tells us, Strong ambitions will also be impressed by delicate tenderness and beauty.

Finally, from the perspective of worldly wisdom, Yan Xiaoer believes that this sentence is probably telling us that on the one hand, we need to be ambitious, but we must never let "ambition" become the entirety of our lives. You must know how to appreciate the beauty in life, so that your life can be relaxed and relaxed. At the same time, even if there is a tiger inside, you must still maintain the gentleness of "sniffing the roses". Such people often go further. 1. "If you have a tiger in your heart, smell the roses carefully" and its creator

If you want to deeply understand the connotation of the sentence "With a tiger in your heart, smell the roses carefully", you may learn more about it based on the author's own experience. A little more handy.

It was the famous British anti-war poet Sassoon who created the line "I have a tiger in my heart and smell the roses". He was also a novelist, and he was able to write "To Me, Philosophical poems like "Past, Present and Future" have a lot to do with his experience of receiving a good education in the upper class and his having been a soldier in World War I.

Since his family enjoyed a certain reputation in London, he had no worries about food and drink and received a good education. Having graduated from Cambridge University, he had a strong sense of justice and just let nature take its course. He volunteered to join the army and became a soldier. He was brave and made many military exploits on the battlefield, for which he also received many awards.

However, what impressed him most about his experience in joining the army was not the honor he received, but the cruelty on the battlefield, and the comrades who fought alongside him were killed on the battlefield. The cruel scene was enough to become a lifelong nightmare for him.

Although he was brave enough to achieve great results, the ruthlessness and cruelty of the war made him decide to quit the army and start thinking about life and life-related things.

After retiring from the army, Sassoon returned to his hometown and used words to express his views on life and life, and actively conveyed his "anti-war" thoughts to the public. Some of his works are a bit heavy because he The poems are permeated with the fear and desolation from people's hearts that he experienced during the war.

Similarly, the poem "There is a tiger in my heart sniffing the roses" is popular all over the world because of his love for life, opposition to war, and love for his own life revealed between the lines. Authenticity, thinking and examination of one’s own heart. For example, he once wrote at the end of the poem, "Look into my heart, dear friend, you should tremble, because that is your true face." From this, we can also understand that in addition to discovering beautiful roses, he also saw another side of human nature that makes him tremble. This is a very profound self-examination. 2. "With a tiger in your heart, smell the rose carefully" is inspired by the characteristics, laws and wisdom of human nature

Of course, everyone's life experience cannot be copied, and most of us cannot fully understand Sassoon's However, from the words he left us, we can to some extent discover richer connotations through his life experiences and the emotions injected into the words.

As said at the beginning of this article, "Having a tiger in your heart and sniffing the roses" reveals a characteristic of human nature, that is, human nature is complex, and you must not put the *** of a person or each of us at risk. Sex is human nature, seen as a "black or white" existence.

In other words, a person who is labeled as a "evil person" will sometimes be kind, and conversely, a charitable person will also sometimes be selfish. Not only do "good and evil" coexist in people, but masculinity and femininity also exist. Here, a person with a tiger living in his heart will still have the tenderness of smelling roses. When we deal with others and get along with others, we must have this kind of cognitive flexibility and objectivity.

Secondly, "If you have a tiger in your heart, you can smell the roses" does indeed show a pattern. In an era where competition is the main theme, the world strives for heights and ambitions. Over time, people forget that the "power" we pursue is actually more of the truth hidden in weakness. As the Taoist Lao Tzu said, "Nothing in the world is softer than water, and no one who attacks the strong can win." Because of its flexibility, water can achieve the effect of "dropping water through stone". Here, even a strong tiger can , will also be impressed by the beautiful and gentle roses. This is actually a rule that is easily "forgotten".

Finally, let’s talk about wisdom in life. The strength and sharpness of tigers are too domineering. Even if they are unintentional, they can easily hurt others and hurt others. It is more difficult to grow up the "tiger" in your heart because it is easy. Being suppressed. Smart and wise people will show their gentle face of "sniffing the roses" and keep the strong "tiger" in their hearts. Such people can often go further. 3. Thinking: Humanistic philosophy can break the idea that "human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same"

Although writers and poets have nationalities, good ideas have no national boundaries. It is precisely because of this that "there is a tiger in the heart, sniff carefully" "Rose" is probably a well-known saying in China.

Some people say that human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same, but Yan Xiaoer feels that this statement is too "absolute" and even a bit "negative". It is true that "sorrows and joys" that highlight the strong personality of "I" may not be able to achieve complete passion because they are too personal. However, weakening individual personality and showing human sexuality, or in other words, from the perspective of human beings, Thoughts that start from large groups can often arouse the excitement of people with different experiences, different backgrounds, different cultures, and even different time and space. It is for this reason that "there is a tiger in your heart, and you will smell the roses carefully".

Yan Xiaoer has always believed that to absorb the nourishment of precious humanistic philosophy, we need to put aside our prejudices, put ourselves in the sage's situation, and then see his value judgment from the author's standpoint, and then further search for philosophy The redeeming feature of this book is, isn’t it the “tiger in the heart, smell the roses” in humanistic philosophical reading? That is to say, absorb the "fragrance" of the rose with a gentle attitude, like a tiger within, and use your philosophical thinking and creativity for your own use. Why not do it?
