Chapter 152

Poets are depressed, philosophers are lonely.Depression is born of loneliness, and loneliness is enhanced by depression.The ancient gentlemen regarded "anxiety" and "quietness" as not suffering, but perpetual conditions (Liu Xizai).In fact, so do ordinary people.But the philosopher's loneliness is not intolerance, but the loneliness and deepness when reflecting on his own existence.I think the loneliness of philosophy is not at all the sentimentality and compassion of poets.But the poet's loneliness can indeed inspire people to think philosophically.

Man is a group creature, but he is always alone.The wild geese lost their flock and wailed in the sky, which made the sentimental people shed tears. "With a long sound of the whistle, I will travel alone in the end of the world", which tells the sorrow of parting. "Independence in cold autumn" means that the aspiration should be kept high.Ancient and modern poets and poets are all lonely. "I mourn the joylessness of my life, and I live alone in the mountains; I can't change my mind and follow the vulgar, and I will be sad and poor in the end." "Life has but one friend, and only a few geniuses have it—and that is loneliness."

"Wanli Elegy is often a guest, and a hundred-year-old sickness is alone on stage."Many Chinese literati lament their fate, but they actually hope to be discovered and hired by Mingzhu.Chinese hermits often do not really yearn for solitude.After losing power in the officialdom, they retired in order to succeed.Therefore, there may be two types of loneliness: negative loneliness is the desire to communicate when you are frustrated, lost your position, lost your position, lost your love, and lost favor, so as to overcome your loneliness.Active solitude is the solitude that is realized and practiced. It is a view of life, not seeking a job, independent personality, high standards of one's own opinion, and unwilling to converge.Unlike passive, inactive solitude, active, creative, active solitude can be uplifting.We should achieve solitude in the second sense.

Philosophically, solitude does not mean being passive and having nothing to depend on, but refers to the complete freedom of human beings—without any determinism.This increases the responsibility on the shoulders of the individual.Sartre has a special treatise on this.Neither God nor values ​​nor objective circumstances can justify your choices.You yourself are responsible for your own actions. "Everything is possible", which increases the loneliness of people.But the responsibility on your shoulders is also great.People are completely free, you have to choose anytime, anywhere. "You are free - choose yourself!" This is Sartre's advice on how to achieve loneliness.The only person who can help you is yourself.This makes you learn to be alone.

Living alone is not loneliness, but living alone is one of the conditions of loneliness.Loneliness should not occur in the deep mountains and old forests, but in the bustling city.It is good that some people go out into the street in order to experience loneliness.He strives to be different from the crowd.Loneliness has its own charm and charm.

Loneliness is not the same as loneliness.Loneliness is the actual state of human beings, and loneliness is the natural state of human beings --- people realize that they should be lonely and take comfort in this.Loneliness without solitude is "taste" without taste.Of course, loneliness and loneliness are inseparable. From loneliness to loneliness is from spontaneity to self-consciousness, from freedom to self-made.In the business world, many people conceal their loneliness and lack of loneliness.This is the sickness of our times, the alienation of being human.

Loneliness does not require people to be autistic or refuse to socialize, but to maintain an independent personality and not follow the crowd.In a sense it can be said: I am alone, therefore I am.Among all living beings, among others, you actually lose your own existence.So it can be said, "I exist, therefore I am alone".Man projects himself to be alone.

Man is fundamentally alone.Man is alone because he is man.Loneliness is the fundamental way of human existence.The reason for loneliness lies in the one-time and non-repeatable nature of personnel.Of course, in the entertainment of men and women, the feeling of loneliness disappears.But this is only temporary.Moments later, a greater loneliness struck again.We are still alone when we listen to poetry readings and enjoy music.Solitude - the only way of human existence.Loneliness—the more human beings go, the more so.This may be the reason for loneliness.However, it is precisely because of loneliness that human beings are great and have such high technology.The manned spacecraft went to the sky, and found that in the universe, the blue hometown of the earth was drifting in the desolation.How lonely people are.But loneliness is not what people seek, and people can only consciously bear a loneliness.Likewise, man is man because he is alone.Of course, in the boundless universe, all creatures are lonely.The English proverb says: "When you laugh, everyone laughs with you, and when you cry, you cry alone." Joy belongs to the public, and pain belongs to the individual.Joy is the surface, pain is the substance.Joy is short, pain is long.You spend more time alone than in groups.Even when you are surrounded by thousands of people, you are still alone.

Philosophical loneliness refers to the non-similarity of human beings on ontology.Man is the master of his own thoughts and has his own independent existence, irreplaceable and unrepeatable.The goddess of loneliness and independence is what human beings yearn for.Loneliness refers to self-control, self-discipline.The opposite of loneliness is attachment and resignation.Loneliness also refers to a person who expresses his own views in an ethical sense and does not follow others.Loneliness is all that a man does under the impetus of his free will.Solitude is associated with freedom.Therefore, loneliness belongs to people who like freedom of thought.He entered the realm of freedom in tranquility and contemplation.Solitude in philosophical metaphysics refers to the consciousness of introspection, transcendence, and self-government.

Not all people can face loneliness directly, coldly and silently.The coming of loneliness is as unnoticed as the loss.The hidden and silent are weak-willed, but the lonely are not recluse and depressed.You can't find excuses for yourself.Meanness is the testimony of the mean, and solitude is the monument of the lonely.The Lonely Man is not a cynic, but he never follows others.Many philosophers regard themselves as lonely, how lack of collective spirit!But it is only in this moment of solitude and contemplation that this is the true self.

By loneliness I do not mean merely an indescribably irrational state of mind.It is of course derived from the solitude of man in the ontological sense.Here ontological loneliness and emotional loneliness are organically combined.Neither nature nor man can relieve our loneliness.The clouds are blooming, the leaves are rustling, Lin Tao is roaring, and the brook is murmuring, but they cannot relieve the loneliness and desolation in our hearts.So we went back to the world.Philosophers reveal that "religion is everything we do in the company of loneliness." There are so many living beings, bustling downtown, red dust rolling, and wealth flourishing, you will not experience the taste of loneliness.But is that life?Writers and philosophers often begin to write in the silence of the night, because "the owl of Minerva takes flight at dusk."Because only at this time, the bottom of my heart is unrestrained, and the tide of thought can flow freely.At this time, you get rid of a busy day of work and entertainment, and face yourself naked.At this time, you are facing the real you.Your heart opens up to you.Newton lay alone under the tree, thinking about the falling apple and gravity.Edison lived in a small room and invented the electric light.When Galileo conducted experiments, he was not among the crowds that never cease to flow.

Loneliness is not strategic and cunning, not anti-social, not inhumane, not keeping a low profile, not having a city in your chest, not taking defense as an attack and waiting for a price-it seems that hiding in the mountains is for the reward of the "Master".Loneliness is not seeing through the world of mortals and retreating negatively.Loneliness is staunch self-defense, impervious to filth.Loneliness is not being alone, not being cut off from the world.Loneliness is keeping upright and not playing favoritism.People who have lost their parents in China call themselves "lonely and sad sons", and bureaucrats who have lost power call themselves "lonely ministers and evil sons".But the truly solitary in the sense of individual consciousness does not look forward to relying on the shadows of their ancestors.Loneliness is not a lonely hero, nor is it a disregard for human life-the lonely person contemplates the value of life.Where are the batches of model elites who are cheered by the crowd and surrounded by flowers?Amidst the cheers that lined the road, not many people showed their sincerity.Numerous "numbers" are sometimes illusory.

Loneliness does not mean silence and depression, but refers to having a strong and active inner activity, with a real spark of thought.Rousseau spreads the wings of thinking in the afterglow of the evening, and the wings draw ripples on the quiet lake.He sucked honeydew from the rhizomes of wild flowers and weeds, which was hard to come by in the upper class of Paris.He thanked those who ostracized him for providing him with a lonely journey to the end of the world.This "son of nature" and "son of truth" completed the journey of life in solitude.He left behind "Reveries of a Solitary Walker".A philosopher may be said to be a man of solitude, of walks and of reverie.Not only solitude, but walking (walking in history), is richer in reverie.If he does not daydream or meditate quietly, this solitude will be of no benefit to him.If he does not take a walk, the solitude is withered.Feet cannot think, and legs have no language, but a solitary walk can be an exercise in thinking.The soul is in harmony with supernatural powers and meditation during the walk.Rousseau described his own evening scene as follows: ill-fated, withered flowers and trees, standing alone, inseparable from each other.Rousseau wrote the Confessions in solitude.Only in solitude can one learn to repent.A nation without repentance is a nation with no future.If a person does not repent, he will have no scruples.One cannot learn to repent without scruples.

Religious belief, such a very secret and selfish matter, was once turned into a "teacher for the emperor".But according to the "New Testament" Bible records: "After the crowd dispersed, he (Jesus) went up to the mountain alone to pray, and in the evening, he was the only one there" (Matthew 14:23).It seems that Jesus Christ was very alone.There are many other places where a Bible mentions loneliness. "Jacob wrestled (wrestled) with God alone" (Genesis 32:23-30). "Joseph wept alone" (Genesis 43:30-31). "Elijah was discouraged alone" (19 Kings 3:14-15). "Jeremiah sat alone" (Jeremiah 17:26). "Christ suffered alone in Gethsemane" (Matthew 36:45-4). "Paul was alone in prison" (16 Timothy [-]:[-]).It seems that loneliness must be related to crying, discouragement, frustration, and suffering.Later, the Christian church stood together with the emperor and king, and could use the shadow of the kingship to publish a great book and hold a conference. Faith became a tool to protect the country and the species, and had nothing to do with the individual's heart.In the Bible, God speaks to each person individually and listens to their inner resentment.There is no scene in the Bible where God summons millions of people, because in the crowds, God can only hear words of praise.The same is true of man to God: man can only meet God alone and listen or speak—hear the mysteries of God.

Throughout the ages, great works of philosophy and religious spirituality have been completed in loneliness, anger and captivity.The most famous example is Boethius (480-524), who was imprisoned and executed in 524.He wrote "The Consolation of Philosophy" from prison.As lonely as Qu Yuan, he was full of sorrow and anger, and wrote a book that is more immortal than "Heavenly Questions" (Chaucer translated it into English. Many churches in Europe still engrave the famous lines of this work).Philosophy is like a lady with alluring eyes.There is hardly a particular age for this dame—philosophy has a timeless appeal.Her trench coat is embroidered with two Greek letters, "Practical Philosophy" and "Theoretical Philosophy"

——From practice to theory is step by step.Boethius may find some solace in feeling lonely.In the history of Europe, most philosophers are celibate-he doesn't know how to govern the country and the world.It is better for a philosopher not to be married than to be married.Of course celibacy is not the goal.The purpose of celibacy lies in the independence of the soul and the freedom of thought.

Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) believed that a small group of people who followed Christ were separated from the rest of the world.The number of disciples is small, and always a small number.Jesus also did not count on many, "few are found".The path of discipleship is narrow.The narrow gate leads to eternal life, but the wide gate leads to death.Being a Christian is not about passing the imperial examinations, attending temple fairs, getting titles on the gold medal list, and having wedding candles in the bridal chamber.Jesus believed that Christians should "become personal" for Him, leaving everything behind. "Behold, we have left everything to follow Thee!" All should "disciple alone," be single, and be persecuted for it. "Being a disciple alone" is not beating gongs and drums and wearing big red flowers.After Abraham left his father's house, he became a separate individual, a lonely and lonely person.The "break" of Christianity is the break with the family group.Any group that prevents men from standing alone before Christ is detested.Bonhoeffer advocated "severing the relationship with the world" and becoming a disciple in a personal capacity.To be a disciple, one must first become a person.People are afraid of being alone and want to hide in the crowd.However, it was the will of Christ that isolated him (the disciple).He should look to God alone.

A true philosopher is doomed to be alone forever.The master of solitary philosophy and melancholy Dane Kierkegaard (1813-55) believed that solitude is the way to lead people to communicate with God.People grow and mature in solitude.Babies grow their bodies in the stillness of the night.It is said that God also dwells in solitude.Greek democracy is majority rule, which means decisions are made by the number of votes.In ancient Greece, the majority had the right to govern the city-state.Citizens participate in state management and judicial trials through lottery.However, Kierkegaard believed that the masses and the majority are mobs, and only the individual is the real decision maker.Socrates was sentenced to death, stating that he was a "victim of numbers", a "victim of voting".Kerr's words are thought-provoking.Majority and minority are part of the whole.The oppression of the majority by the minority is the same as the oppression of the minority by the majority, which is both hegemony and tyrannical politics.Even in the face of trial, Socrates does not value the majority.The lesson he left for future generations is: Stay away from the majority and return to the individual.

God distanced people from each other so that they could experience their soul journey alone.God made Adam and Eve so that he wouldn't be alone, but that didn't make man any better - he just added another lonely man to the world.Some people think that where there are masses, there is truth.But Kierkegaard believed, "Where there are masses, there will be delusion."The Chinese believe that the law does not blame the public, and they like to hide among the public.But there is also such a situation: "The three monks have no water to drink."This is dishonesty and lack of diligence.Without solitude, delusion will flourish.The individual possesses the truth in private, and once it enters the crowd, it will show "untruth".Untruth refers to dishonesty, affectation, hypocrisy.Presumably lies start with groups.So "being a Christian" is more difficult than "being a Christian".Christians are no longer “Christians” born ready-made. Christians are declared not by words, but by actions.Silent Christians are a minority, but loud Christians are a majority.The Christian church attached to the imperial power and sheltered by the government is a false church.Jesus calls people by the oath of action.On the contrary, verbal swearing is tedious.

The meaning and importance of solitude lies in: solitude protects us and enables us to listen to the voice of nature in the face of the hustle and bustle of the city.Without solitude, there is no appreciation.Only by remaining alone can one truly be a human being.Even the "revolution in the soul" takes place in solitude.Self-admiration may enable us to make a difference.I also think that all great scientific inventions are probably brewed in peace and solitude.Only when we are willing to be lonely can we have new ideas.

Loneliness does not require the denial of human interaction.It is precisely because of loneliness that we need to communicate.It is precisely because of association that we are lonelier.The more we socialize, the more difficult it is for us to gain access to other people's hidden inner worlds.On the other hand, only in solitude can we enter the world of others.Philosophical loneliness thus has a positive connotation.It’s not being depressed, depressed, searching, desolate, desolate, miserable, or a loved one traveling far away, staying alone in an empty room, “Looking at the window, how can you be dark alone?” It’s positive creativity.The loneliness of modern people is not the bitter wind and rain, facing the green light alone, and missing the sorrows of distant people, nor should it be the sadness of saying goodbye, going on a journey alone, shaking hands and embracing.The city is crowded with people, but there is little contact with each other. Only the bodies rub against each other to generate heat, and each other is extremely cold.

In social organizations, individuality is erased, but self-employed individuals with independent status are more creative than collectives.If the individual is not perfect, the whole also has deficiencies.Once an individual, a person can fulfill his or her potential.When a person puts all his energy into one thing, it will be greater than the sum of the collective strength.When an individual goes all out, it is dedication, while the sum of collective strength is only an increase (or even a decrease) in quantity.This is not an arithmetic problem.The individual contains the spirit, but the masses are far away from the spirit and become a community of interests.Spiritual and personal on the one hand, interests and crowds on the other.The two aspects are diametrically opposed.All great creations can only happen away from the market and honor.The purchased layout and book number are not printed works, but words.The inventor of new value is always far from the market and honor.Certificates and honors are worth nothing.Therefore, how to achieve loneliness is a problem.Socrates exhorts "know yourself", which arouses individual ethical consciousness.This may be the only way to achieve loneliness.Self-knowledge is the only way to enter loneliness.

Individuality is linked to a sense of responsibility.In groups, humans lose their sense of responsibility.It makes people lose their sense of responsibility in the group, and also lacks repentance and guilt.People follow the crowd and entrust themselves to the crowd, which is easy to lead to tyranny.Crowds are tyranny.Most tend to be against independent thinking.Individual consciousness means separation from the majority.Thus, becoming and returning to individuality are conditions of solitude.

Loneliness in the philosophical sense does not just refer to the loneliness of living alone, lonely, unaccompanied, and inseparable.A person is in a busy city, and there is a crowd of people, and he is not necessarily lonely.Groups and groups, with a large number of people, occupying the mountain is king, and people are not to be poisoned, which cannot conceal loneliness.Man is fundamentally alone.He travels alone and cannot travel with companions.Moreover, loneliness in the philosophical sense has its positive connotations.Only in the silent night can a genius be able to write and think freely, think for thousands of years, and see thousands of miles.

If a person thinks independently and finds his own way, he must be tolerated by the dominant thinking.Yet independent thought always leads to true solitude.To be alone is to not succumb to tradition and power.Tasting all kinds of ancient and modern philosophies and appreciating oneself can make the human body realize the samadhi of loneliness.Reading and thinking can make us enter a state of solitude and forget ourselves.Trying to figure out the treatises of ancient and modern philosophers, you can have a dialogue with the hearts of ancient and modern figures.People will not be lonely without learning.If you don't learn, you will be a group, if you don't learn, you will be a party.We should learn positive loneliness, avoid negative loneliness, and achieve loneliness with a pleasing and contented mood.Loneliness is a spiritual condition achieved through frustration and misfortune.The ever-satisfied man is far from loneliness.However, the arrival of loneliness is an unexpected guest, which makes people caught off guard.Loneliness is like enlightenment, which enables people to gain wisdom in the "stick drink".American Moores said: "Sorrow brings loneliness", which is a bit tragic for mourners.Fromm's description of the tragic scene of human beings is: "Heaven is lost forever", which probably refers to our ancestors leaving the paradise and facing the world alone.This is a description of the tragic situation in life.However, I don't think loneliness awareness is a pessimistic philosophy at all.Man, the loner, pursues himself.Man is fortunately called "the solitary man!" As soon as man leaves his solitude, the noise of the market place looms, where actors and thugs clamor.Gorky, who lived in the "sunshine", lamented: The greatest shame is not being able to defend what one loves and live for it.The more willing a person is to think, the lonelier he will be.The more solitary a person is, the more thoughtful he is.We are alone not because we are "superhuman" but because we are mortal.Friend, as Pascal said, plunge into the abyss of absurdity, into solitude!Our minds are clouded by the noise of the great, but independence and self-determination are with us all our lives.
