The world in the eyes of the noble

August 2022-01-14 08:01:47

Coriolanus seemed to use a noble perspective to examine fate. Of course, the protagonist Matthews was used as a stand-in for experiencing all this.
In the eyes of the aristocratic people, more than 90% of the people in the world are fools, and their opinions are worthless to them, which is very similar to the second disease and true art. And this thinking is not the fact that causes the greatest harm to itself. More importantly, he would say "bid them wash their faces and keep their teeth clean" without shame. Such a truth undisputedly caused him to put himself on the opposite side of most people.
There is another characteristic of high-minded people. They disdain to express their own thoughts. Even if they are scarred by others, they will describe it as their own personal preference in the bottom of their hearts. Therefore, people with noble and high ranks are often the most difficult to understand by others.
People with noble highs generally possess strong abilities, at least one kind of potential. However, correspondingly, they are usually animals with very low EQ. Rather than saying that EQ is very low, it is better to say that you are evading, avoiding political games between people, and making yourself popular in it, and even magnifying your own weaknesses.
All these characteristics gave politicians an opportunity and were destined to cause his own tragedy. The politicians mentioned here actually live in every corner of society, in every classroom, and in every company. They believe in survival and lack noble perseverance, but they are good at fighting and witty. Because of this, since ancient times, it is difficult for people who are innocent and high to be in high positions, and even if they get such opportunities, they will fall heavily.
However, standing on the opposite side of the original position is not easy to happen. Because before that, they were often crushed to death, or frustrated. This kind of plot may just be a kind of obscenity in their hearts. And what happened afterwards, they could naturally come to a calm conclusion: it was either painful revenge, or was crushed to death by the original enemy after giving up halfway. In short, it is a path of no return, and a high-ranking person is indispensable for this kind of mental abuse.
If you are such a person, you have to leave your own unique mark over time. Perhaps, choosing the latter can only show that you are not such a person. In fact, the world is not pure land, the greater the ability, the greater the pain.
Such people, if they want to change their minds to understand fate and live happily, they usually come to the conclusion that they are just river fishing. The cruel struggle between people is too subtle for the noble ones to have both their own beliefs.

Coriolanus quotes

  • Tullus Aufidius: Do they still fly to the Roman?

    Volsce Lieutenant: I do not know what witchcraft's in him, but your soldiers use him as the grace before meat, their talk at table, and their thanks at end. And you are darkened in this action, sir.

    Tullus Aufidius: He bears himself more proud, even to my person, than I thought he would when first I did embrace him.

    Volsce Lieutenant: Sir, I beseech you, think you he'll carry Rome?

    Tullus Aufidius: I think he'll be to Rome as is the osprey to the fish, who takes it by sovereignty of nature.

  • Volsce Lieutenant: How is it with our general?

    Tullus Aufidius: As with a man by his own charity slain.

    Volsce Lieutenant: Our soldiers will remain uncertain whilst 'twixt you there's difference, but the fall of either makes the survivor heir of all.

    Tullus Aufidius: I know it, and my pretext to strike at him admits a good construction. I raised him, and I pawned mine honor for his truth, who, being so heightened, he watered his new plants with dews of flattery, seducing so my friends. At the last, I seemed his follower, not his partner, and he waged me with his countenance as if I had been mercenary.

    Volsce Lieutenant: So he did, my lord. The army marveled at it. And in the last, when he had carried Rome and that we looked for no less spoil than glory...

    Tullus Aufidius: There was it! For which my sinews shall be stretched upon him. At a few drops of women's rheum, which are as cheap as lies, he sold the blood and labor of our great action. Therefore shall he die, and I'll renew me in his fall.
