Action, Reaction, and Equilibrium

Recently I also read a book called "The Elegy of the Countryman", which tells the story of an American countryman who grew up in a drug and violent environment and attacked the Ivy League. Combined with this film, people have a sense of "self" Feelings, the influence of family, school, environment, shape and change a person, how much of the self can break through the environment? More is people's feedback and resistance to the environment. For example, the more oppressive the environment, the more people pursue freedom; the poorer the family, the more people pursue money; the more blinded by ignorance, the more they pursue knowledge... Is that all? Is it only a reaction to the environment? Oddly enough, it's the same ordeal, some people become fearless, some people fall apart, and there is ego at work here (from an evolutionary perspective, bravery, like anxiety, will allow these genes to survive). In fact, people are also a part of the environment. Life is fragile and insignificant, but the laws of nature are mysterious and great. The dynamic adjustment of nature will reach a state of balance. People have too many desires and too much destruction, and the laws of natural balance will adjust. It does not matter whether it is good or bad. Is a similar balance necessarily good for people? There is no perfect person. If you are shallow, you should seek more depth. If you are indifferent, you should seek more love. If you are tired, you should rest more. You will suffer less friction and injury. Keep it in a reasonable range. The dynamic balance at this time is good. Because ta is healthy and stable. Strong self and willpower, trying to break free from the shackles brought by the environment, like a bug facing the light, it is both an instinct and an expectation, strong enough to not only have a self-balanced inner world, but also maintain a just right proportion with the people around you feel.
