Why do we lack imagination?

It is caused by the following three reasons:

First of all, the social background makes China people lack imagination.

People are restricted by their mothers' stomachs before they are born, and they are closely watched by their parents after they are born. Living in this environment since childhood, I am too timid to say anything. Because my parents were experienced people, they spoke casually at that time and were put on various hats; Some people are imprisoned for this; Some people lost their lives. Therefore, parents accept this bloody lesson and hard facts, and also ask their children not to say whatever they think. Mouth is the bane. There is also the education of the whole society, the teaching of teachers and the advice of relatives. In childhood, obedience has always been regarded as the only criterion for being a good child. What I think is also under extreme control. I don't know how far the world has developed, what can be shown and discussed. Individual thinking is under great pressure, and too many dogmas frame the minimum thinking and basic imagination space of human beings. Serious preaching makes people roll with the punches and endure in every way, which seems to be the unique quality and character of China people and cannot be changed in their bones. You can't have an independent opinion on anything, you can only make it, but you can't make it known. What we are talking about now is how education obliterates children's nature. The main question is, has society left them room? Is there complete freedom of speech? Speech is not a crime. Is it enough to think, say and do? There is a joke. Comrade Zi Xu asked, "Why do you make two streamers for the China navy hat?" China children don't know and can't know, and dare not say it or say it casually; Foreign children are different, and they are very enthusiastic and answer without thinking: "Because there is too little to do one and too much to do three, I will do two." Not to mention the right or wrong answer, but what is certain is that these children dare to speak and are also very humorous, which fully reflects their innocence and liveliness. The fundamental difference between western education and ours is that they cultivate students' problem consciousness and critical thinking from primary school. An American elementary school principal once said: "In education, we should attach importance to scientific concepts rather than technology ... After receiving education, they should maintain a healthy skepticism about the world. They should ask questions, not just accept them. " Afraid of causing trouble, they gave way to their eyes, and everyone was afraid of danger. It is enough for people who are educated in this background to seek life and survival. How many things can people dare to think and do to protect themselves? What is your imagination?

Second, the mode of thinking is fixed, even if you dare to think, you dare not say or do it.

Since ancient times, China people have said nothing under the oppression of the three mountains, and have been bound by various rules and regulations. Men are bound by the three cardinal principles and the five permanents, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, while women are bound by the seven laws, three obedience and four virtues. The kindergarten is the responsibility of the aunt; School is taught by teachers; After work, leaders care; When you die, you become a handful of ashes, still bound by the urn. In addition, in order to show positive progress and demand progress, organizations and sports of different sexes in different periods and stages should have a sense of participation. Cherish what blood you have dyed and what blood you have changed. When you die, you must hold a decent memorial service. Usually this is the end of the play, the end of the field. People who are not so noble will also scatter their ashes in the rivers and seas of the motherland and take a curtain call. There is little room for yourself in life. Wear masks and costumes everywhere, and even children don't tell the truth. What you say is not true, and what you do is not what you want to do. This is because being able to say "no" and dare to say "no" is not only a manifestation of one's independence, dignity and self-confidence, but also an indispensable ability in various social activities. From beginning to end, it is a fixed educational model, that is, some people dare to think, dare not say, or even dare not do, because there will be great pressure to say it. There is always an invisible hand stuck in your throat, and even monkeys in Emei Mountain can put up notices for them.

Third, fish farming should have water and imagine a big environment.

It's just that parents have realized not to kill their children's nature, but what can they do? There are still huge forces around them fighting back at you, and society doesn't give you a relaxed environment, so you can stick to your point and even enforce the law violently. It is conceivable that one or two people realize a lot of things, but a bunch of people around them don't, and sooner or later they will turn you into a commodity on their production line. What happened to Qu Yuan? Everyone is drunk, even if he is not. Political power is the key and system is the condition. Open your mouth like a river, don't block it. It is often a prerequisite to question predecessors, present people and future generations to find out whether they can bear the bondage of traditional ideas. Einstein once said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress and is the source of knowledge progress." It can be said that daring to question authority, traditional theories, existing conclusions, conclusions and norms, and saying "no" to what people are used to, is the premise of all innovation and creation activities. Being able to say "no" and dare to say "no" is not only the embodiment of a person's independence, dignity and self-confidence, but also an indispensable ability in various social activities. We should constantly ask questions in the face of reality, and more question and test the principle from the questions. We should dare to ask "why" about what has been decided, or what is established, used and observed by most people. Only in this way can our thoughts keep moving towards the truth and society take a big step forward.
