Chapter 1353 Do what you want(1/2)
Dragon-slaying illusion.
Many times, many of people’s dreams are often very simple...
However, often the simpler the dream, the more difficult it is to realize it actually...
Just like when many people were young, when someone asked their wishes, many people would answer: "I hope this world can be peaceful..."
In a sense, such an answer does not sound like a difficult wish to realize, because most of the time, the world is relatively peaceful. Even if there is war, it is just a war on the local level. The real world war has only happened twice so far...
And most people in this world actually love peace...
Compared to war, peace is actually a normal situation...
From this perspective, realizing the so-called desire for world peace is actually not a difficult task...
However, if you think about it from another perspective, the so-called world peace is the most difficult thing...
There is no other reason. Although peace is a mainstream state, complete peace in the true sense has never really existed. Conflicts and small-scale wars are constantly erupting and annihilated almost every moment...
It is almost impossible to truly achieve the so-called world peace. Not to mention peace between countries, even disputes and quarrels between individuals have never really stopped...
By the same token, for Wang Yu, he had no ambitions or pursued too much. What he asked for was only four words...
Do whatever you want!
Yes, do whatever you want!
Literally speaking, it is actually easy to understand. The so-called "willingness" means doing whatever you want...
For most ordinary people, this does not seem to be a difficult thing, because everyone has their own freedom and the right to do whatever they want...
However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is actually a very difficult thing to truly do whatever you want...
From the word "will do whatever you want, if you look at it from another perspective, it is better to use another word to describe it...
That is willfulness!
Yes, willful!
From a literal perspective, the so-called willfulness means letting one's own nature dominate one's behavior. Do whatever one wants and ignore any rules and rules...
Do whatever you want. Don’t consider the context of the occasion at all, do whatever you want, and say whatever you want...
In many novels, or in reality, most people should have seen such people, especially young girls or children. Many of them are very willful and often do things that others cannot understand or accept, or make others unable to get out of Taiwan...
Such people are actually very disgusting in society...
It is because of this that, generally speaking, a person who has been struggling in society for a period of time will gradually become less willful, will gradually become smooth, and will gradually become worldly...
It can be said that society is a whetstone. For anyone entering society, they need to go through such polishing to truly integrate into society...
If an ordinary person is always willful, then it is actually no different from committing suicide...
Let me give you a simple example...
If a child always asks his parents to buy toys that cannot be afforded at home, then no matter how much the child's parents love this child, over time, the child will eventually not be disliked by his parents. If a person enters society, he always tries to obtain things that he cannot afford, and he will eventually be naturally hit and bleeding...
After all, not everyone can do things like willfulness...
Everyone has different living spaces and different living environments. Under different living environments, everyone has rules that need to be followed, either light or dark...
Just like for a poor child, they must be sensible enough from an early age and must not cause any trouble to their family members. Even if the price exceeds the scope of family burden, they should even put away their desires to avoid parents from seeing what their children want and feeling guilty because they can't afford it...
Only such children are actually considered to be the example of children from poor families...
To a certain extent, this is a kind of constraint on children by life. On the contrary, if you live in a relatively wealthy family, then the children's willful space can be slightly larger. They may be willful to ask their parents to buy a huge cake or expensive toy for their birthday, so that their parents who are busy spending time spending their time with them to play in the amusement park all day...
If you want to be willful from this perspective, there is no need for conditions...
At least, the poor have no way to be willful in the dreams that only rich people can bear...
The so-called wealth and willfulness in society, from this perspective, is not unreasonable...
Rich people are willful because even if they are willful, they will not have too much consequences for them. They can not work, have fun all day, and can live in drunkenness and dream of death...
But ordinary people are different. Many people have to pay their mortgages and car loans. In this case, they cannot lose their jobs. It is because of this that even if they are angry in the company and accept unfair treatment, they can only grit their teeth and endure it, and cannot be like being willful...
Because they know very well that being willful once is refreshing, but the price of being willful is something they cannot bear!
If you want to do something, it doesn’t mean you can really do it. In fact, there will be many constraints. For example, factors such as wealth, status, honor, etc. will actually restrict what a person can do...
The more things a person has, sometimes the more he is bound to be. The less he is unable to live as he pleases...
And a person has too little things, and sometimes he cannot live as he pleases...
To a certain extent, freedom and freedom in the true sense can be said to be the most rare thing in the world...
The so-called freedom in the true sense is essentially a kind of freedom!
Not bound by any shackles, not restrained by any responsibilities, only do what you want to do...
What kind of freedom produces freedom in the true sense?

Dragon-slaying illusion.
The so-called freedom is actually not a simple concept...
Living in society. In fact, as an individual, there are many things that can be done. But...
However, these things that can be done do not mean that they are truly free...
It is one thing to do many things, but after doing them, there are also many that have to bear a certain degree of risks...
For example, all kinds of illegal and irregular things can certainly be done. This is the freedom of every person in power, but after doing it, there will naturally be a risk of being caught. Because there are risks, the vast majority of people in power, even if they use their power for personal gain, will never be crazy, and most of them will still be restrained...
For example, killing and setting fires, theoretically, everyone can do it, but if you owe debts and pay money, killing and paying for your life, you must be mentally prepared to take responsibility. That is because of this, although everyone can do many things, what you really do is just a few people...
Many times, even if you want to do something, you will often choose to give up for various reasons. In essence, it is actually a compromise with reality...
And with this kind of compromise, it can actually not be considered a true freedom!
Freedom itself is a concept of relative...
Generally speaking, what the vast majority of people in this world pursue is actually a relatively greater freedom...
The more wealth a person has, the higher his or her status he or she has, the more people he or she has, the higher his or her freedom he or she can do willfulness...
If you have enough money, you can buy an island willfully. If you have a high enough status, you can punish corrupt officials and bullies and social cancers. The stronger your background, the more you can manage when you see injustice and become a modern Bao Qingtian...
The higher the freedom you have when doing things...
Many rules that others need to follow are no longer valid for them...
Just like a five-star hotel, it will definitely refuse people who are not dressed in a mess, but what if a world-renowned rich man enters in a short-sleeved slipper? I'm afraid no guard will choose to stop him, and will only send him in a respectful way. Any high-end banquet where everyone is in a suit and tie will definitely refuse people who are not dressed in a mess. But for a rich man in a true sense, even wearing street stalls will still attract the attention of everyone...
The greater the power a person has, the higher the status, the more places he can be willful, the more others can tolerate their willfulness, and even regard their willfulness as a role model...
Just like there was a writer who sold his books very popular. A reader once said that even if the book the author sold was a wordless book without a word, they would buy it back and keep it at home to treasure it. At most, when buying his book next time, they would open it and take a look. Let's see if it was a sequel to the wordless book...
This is naturally just a joke. But it is enough to show that when an author's fame reaches a certain level, as long as it is written by him, even if it is a wordless white paper, as long as it is in his pages, it will become a precious souvenir worthy of collection by book fans...
By the same token, in many TV series, in many novels, and in many stories, there is always such a bloody plot...
Professor XXX stole the articles of his students and then won the grand prize. A costume designer XX stole the designs of his students and then won the grand prize. A writer XX stole the articles of his students and then won the grand prize...
In such a bloody story, many students always think that the teacher stole their achievements, but in fact, they always ignore one thing, that is, whether it is the paper, design, or novel, the reason why they win awards after publication is, on the one hand, their talents have been recognized by the public, but on the other hand, what must not be ignored is the influence of their teacher's reputation...
Just like the same costume design, if it is completed by a fledgling designer, it may be buried soon, but if it is a master's work, it will often easily attract the attention of others...
In fact, no matter how ugly a well-known fashion designer designs, he will invisibly correct the public's aesthetic concepts and even lead the fashion trend...
This is the power of authority...
People live in the world and have many rules to follow, and the more superior they are, the less restricted they are often, and the more privileges they enjoy...
Although most wealthy people don’t wear short-sleeved slippers to visit and go to banquets, that’s not because they can’t do that, it’s just because they don’t want to…
For the vast majority of people who are barely qualified to attend, they must decorate themselves with dignity and elegance to attend such banquets. Even words and sentences, or etiquette must be done impeccably. Only in this way can they be truly recognized by the upper class people at the banquet...
On the contrary, the more casual and free a person is at a banquet, the higher the status of this person...
The richer a person is, the more he has the qualification to be willful...
However, if you want to be truly willful, simply having money is not enough...
From Wang Yu's perspective, there is actually a certain difference between willfulness and self in essence...
Willfulness usually refers to some self-awareness that exceeds the limit...
In other words, when a person shows willful emotions, most people think that this person has done too much, so he is called a willful behavior...
It completely ignores the feelings of others and only cares about one's own thoughts. Such behavior is a typical willfulness...
In essence, willfulness and willfulness are similar in meaning, but willfulness is a derogatory term, while being free willful is relatively neutral...
When a person's actions are considered willful, most of the time, this person's actions have caused some trouble to others...
From Wang Yu's perspective, the way he pursues is actually a kind of way to do whatever he wants...
It sounds very contradictory. Since there are restrictions, how can it be called as if you want?
In Wang Yu's opinion, being free to do means not letting one's thoughts and behaviors be subject to any constraints, but actually referring to one's own feelings. It is like a person knows the warmth and coldness of water...
To be continued...
