Neo met Morpheus without too much difficulty, and the latter was the guide who would bring him into the real world. After meeting each other's stinky feet, the two said a few ambiguous words, and then Morpheus smiled, took out a small bright box, and took out two small pills, one blue and the other red. of. One allows Neo to return to his old life, and the other, miraculously, allows Neo to go to the real world.
To tell the truth, in the face of such temptation, who can resist?
Many times, I ask this question to the person next to me: If it were you, which pill would you choose? Almost all have chosen the red pill that leads to truth. After all, with such a ready opportunity, no one should go to the truth to take a look.
But, other than in the movie, where to find such a ready opportunity?
I saw a joke before. Someone was scolded on the subway: "You are sick!" The person didn't know the logic and replied, "Do you have medicine?" meaning. In other words, this sentence "has something to do with my heart".
Presumably, the question of "where is the red pill" is not the only one that bothers me. Moreover, it is not so easy to find, and it is even less likely that someone will go through hardships to find an ordinary person like me and give it to me. Good things like "beautiful women give me sweat medicine" will not happen to the general public.
Fortunately, the history of civilization has been going on for thousands of years, and the same confused ancestors have left us countless maps and road signs. Perhaps for a modern person, the difficulty lies not in finding the way itself, but in the countless maps and signs. Find a path that really works.
Countless times, when I face the huge volumes of various masterpieces in the library, and see the names of the masters on the spine of the book, the first thing that comes to my mind is often this simple question: Do you have medicine?
Of course, they each have their own medicines, but it's not the red pill I'm looking for, or even the right one for me. Some make me very high, and some make me depressed. So I had no choice but to take the medicine until all the poisons were no longer invading, or it was possible to "achieve righteous enlightenment".
After taking too many drugs, I gradually thought that there was a way out. "Wang Yangming was enlightened by the dragon field, am I enlightened by the library?" Actually? Now it seems that it is just some superficial knowledge, not only nothing new, but also makes people feel more arrogant and arrogant.
Later, I gradually realized that knowledge, whether philosophy, psychology, etc., is very powerless when looking for this red pill. What they provide is only knowledge of the world, knowledge of oneself, and certain problems. , they are inexplicable. Fortunately, at the end of knowledge, there is still religion. Among them, the Buddhist point of view is the most attractive. They say: The Buddhist leader has found the red "medicine", and even explained the properties of the medicine. You have also seen such explanations, but there is one point that you cannot experience just by reading the explanation. Yes, if you want to experience it, you can only practice according to the method he provided. This kind of practice is not only for one lifetime, two lifetimes, three lifetimes, or even a hundred lifetimes, but is measured by the time unit of "kalpa". Moreover, after him, many others have also succeeded according to the method he provided. Why don't you try it?
So I said, then try it?
From then on, I don't see the book again, I think about it, and I ask this question when I see people: Do you have medicine? Instead, say calmly, you must have no medicine. Also, I am sick.
