intoxicating collective

Sweet collective, hehe,

I feel way, and I am very excited to see it. When I was a child, I thought about why we would feel shocked in front of vast and vast things, and would have the urge to merge into it to eliminate ourselves, such as the sea, desert... uh, nature, such as the army, crowds, time The same is true of the vastness of, such as history. I thought this was purely an aesthetic issue, and the most direct feeling was indeed beauty. But beautiful, actually. . Isn't it just a frenzy? It's hard to say whether fanaticism and sobriety are good or bad, it's just a matter of degree. Sensibility is the quality of life, and reason defends this quality. Mania is the most immediate enjoyment, and sobriety supports the maximization and sustainability of this enjoyment.

When people begin to have self-awareness, their horizons are very limited. At that time, they are very arrogant and self-centered. This is our childhood. This "important" illusion makes us feel that our childhood is full, happy and carefree. consider. Slowly we will begin to discover many reference objects, and slowly wake up to our own insignificance. This is a painful process of transformation and growth. How to locate "I" in this vast (every person's mind is different) time and space, the society has a roughly general guideline, and the final positioning result is within this range The people inside are considered "normal". In the "normal" population, the difference between the upper and lower limits is still quite large, on the scale of "people".

When a person begins to appreciate the infinite quantity and time (specifically what things are no longer important), when the reference object is so large that the difference between all people can be ignored, and when oneself is so insignificant that one does not have to take any responsibility at all - this It is a dose of chicken blood to strengthen the heart. The pursuit and meaning of "people" have been deconstructed, and the uncomfortable feeling of powerlessness and insignificance has disappeared. What a supreme joy this is, from ancient times to the present, it can be applied everywhere, and it has achieved the realm of becoming an immortal, and the unity of heaven and man.

I'm not a rebellious person since I was a child, and I'm not very rebellious even now. After the process of unknowingly or unintentionally washing, pruning, reluctantly giving up love, discovering my stupid B, and then feeling heartbroken, etc., it is relatively stable now. The locals advocate moderate colors such as cooperation, compromise, rationality, and civilization. In this film, the three-day period seems to be too fast and dramatic. Many people may think that it is not so, but as an art form, film should be so. Groups with more pursuit and willingness to think are obviously faster to ferment. Just like we said in the past, when a smart, ambitious, and capable person does evil, the destructive power is to do evil with those stupid and stupid people. It is not the same, so excellent people are more responsible for guarding against the devil in their hearts. And we, at least in our country, the collective I have been in, are unlikely to have this kind of rapid, powerful centripetal force. Of course, this does not mean that we should not think about and be wary of this tendency and possibility.

The weaker the person is, the easier it is to be addicted to the ways of amplifying their own power and even the illusion, and everyone is weak to varying degrees, the basis for everyone's infatuation, and no one is immune. People who don't have Achilles' heels are either gods or lunatics (including... uh no, and people with hallucinations of being one with God, hehe). In fact, this is the same as many of the problems we used to have binary oppositions in the past - it is not a question of good or bad, but it is still a question of degree. Is the group bad? The collective power is obvious, obvious and undeniable. Human beings really need to master this power to do things that benefit themselves. Denying it is far-fetched and selective blindness. The reason why many rebellious young people are regarded by society as naive and unrealistic , extreme, do have their own understanding and attitude problems.

Collective, or individual, this should not be a proposition of moral judgment, should not be a pre-set position, this should be a sober scientific question. How to define their respective bottom lines and learn from each other's strengths to complement each other to achieve greater and longer-term benefits, since it should be discussed rationally, it is also a practical topic worthy of everyone's own life to perceive and explore.
