我是哲学家 I Am a Philosopher

There is an idiom in Chinese called "Prolonged illness makes a doctor of a patient", which means that people who have been sick for a long time are familiar with their condition and what medicine to use, and can become doctors. This is the result of being good at thinking and summarizing experience. Although this idiom has exaggerated elements, it is philosophically deep.

Having experienced the ups and downs of life, tasted the sweets and bitters of life, one gradually understands life and sees through human nature. At this point, a person will realize even more that the wisdoms about human nature in life are true. Becoming insightful, calmly and carefree, such a person has become a philosopher.

One day, I saw a very realistic statement that, like an epiphany, gradually made me a philosopher.

Smart people from the lower class are mostly very sad because they have a very clear mind, correct understanding, and lofty ideals and aspirations, but in reality they are powerless.

They lack resources, connections, and the ability to make mistakes. Once they make a mistake, they will face a hard life and even fail to get out of trouble for a long time. In the end, they choose to lie flat amidst the repeated setbacks in reality.

How well said, it's just tailor-made for me.

I think I am still smart, and facing reality, I am powerless, but this is not the reason why I choose to lie flat. I can only compare with myself, striving to do my best, and moving forward. As long as my current self is betterand upward compared to my past self, it is enough. Why bother myself and compare with others?

Single handedly you broke into a government agency or a public institution controlled by someone else for three generations. Who is being wronged if you don't feel wronged? Being able to enter into such institutions is already fortunate, do you still expect to obtain an official position?

Life is like a poker game, where everyone draws a random hand. If God lets you draw a bad hand, the wisest choice is not to take the initiative. Hold the cards and wait for opportunities, wait for changes, so that there is a possibility of turning over. Even if you can't turn over, there is still a chance to shuffle the cards again.

Reshuffling the cards has a similar probability, and it's possible to get a good hand as well.

Do you think I have become a philosopher?

汉语中有个成语叫久病成医，意思是说，长时间生病的人，对病情及用什么药都很熟悉，可以成为医生了。这是善于思考，总结经验的结果。这句成语虽有夸大的成分，但却蕴含着哲理。

经历过人生的起起伏伏，酸甜苦辣，一个人便渐渐读懂了人生，看透了人性。此时，一个人才会更加体会到关于人生关于人性的那些东西才是至理名言。活得通透，淡然而洒脱，这样的人竟也成了一名哲学家。

有一天，我看到一段很现实的话，如醍醐灌顶，也让我渐渐成为了一名哲学家。
出身底层的聪明人，大都是非常可悲的，因为这类人都有着非常清醒的头脑、正确的认识，以及远大的理想和抱负，可现实中却无能为力。

他们缺乏资源，缺少关系背景，更没有可以试错的本钱，一旦一步走错，后面会举步维艰，甚至会持续很长一段时间无法翻身，最终在现实的一次次打击中，选择了躺平。

说得多么好啊，简直就是为我量身定制。

我想我还是聪明的，面对现实，我也无能为力，可这并不是我选择躺平的理由。我只能自己跟自己比，努力做好自己，努力向前，只要现在的自己相比于过去的自己是进步的、向上的就足够了，何必自讨烦恼，去跟别人比呢？

你单枪匹马闯入了人家三代经营的机关事业单位，你不受委屈谁受委屈？能够进入已经是万幸了，还要奢求一官半职吗？

人生如同一场扑克游戏，每个人摸到的牌是随机的，如果上天让你摸到了一手烂牌，最明智的选择就是不要主动出击，抱着牌等待机会，等待变化，那样才有翻身的可能，即使翻不了身，也有会重新洗牌的机会。

重新洗牌，概率相当，说不定也会摸到一手好牌。

你说，我是不是已经成了一名哲学家？
