There is a sentence in (Montaigne's Essay) that impressed me deeply: A shooter who misses the target and a shooter who misses the target are both hit. My understanding of this statement is: Missing the target means insufficient strength, while missing the target means excessive, which is more than enough. Westerners value rationality and like to dig deep into the truth. Sometimes when I read Schopenhauer and Freud, I get stuck in them and can't extricate myself. It seems that I have found a soulmate, and I want to jump into hell with him. When reading Montaigne's books, according to my understanding, his thoughts are based on gentleness and sincerity as education, and moderation as monk. Unlike other philosophers, skepticism in his thought is just a starting point for looking at problems. What he doubts is dogma, worldly prejudice, extreme fanaticism, and doubt about everything that makes sense. But he is not a complete skeptic. In his words: "A complete skeptic easily loses confidence and perseverance in worldly affairs." Probably many people will go through this stage. As their knowledge increases, skepticism gradually develops. There will always be some people who advise us not to think too much, but in fact, can we really turn a blind eye to confusion like this and have our wisdom root pure and all thoughts disappear? If you don't think about it, you won't be confused.
The essence of this book is the essence of various artistic conceptions in life. It is worth learning from, and it is worth reading as an inspirational book. The road you have traveled, the state of life that you have gone through all kinds of hardships, the words are concise and concise, so that people can fully understand them one by one, 👍
Montaigne spent most of the latter part of his life during the Huguenot War. He pointed out in the chaotic world that people are like this. People have seven emotions and six desires, and they are bound to suffer from birth, old age, illness and death. There are steep cliffs and green wonderlands in the world. I understand more clearly that yesterday is the past of today, and tomorrow is the continuation of this time. "Enjoying one's existence openly is the absolute perfection of the divine." "The most beautiful life is one that uses ordinary human nature as a model, is orderly, does not seek miracles, and does not think about absurdity."
People should not take themselves too seriously. Be more concerned, respect and protect others

It's because of Huang Xuan that I read Montaigne. I benefited a lot from it and it's worth reading it again.

Reading Montaigne's essays actually exercised my self-confidence. I used to wonder whether my easy-going attitude was not in line with my youthful temperament, or whether I felt insignificant because of many shortcomings. Now, I have found the answer in the book. No matter how difficult life is, I seem to always persist, neither fierce nor lost. I should give recognition to this kind of self, especially the love chapter, which made me jump out of the trap and stand outside to take a look. As Mr. Montaigne said, although love is precious, love is a fickle and fickle emotion. It is passionate and impulsive, high and low, hot and cold, and ties us to each other. Love is for pleasure, and once enjoyed, it ceases to exist. On the contrary, the more friendship is yearned for, the more it is enjoyed. Friendship will only sublimate, grow and develop after it is obtained, because it is spiritual and the soul will be purified accordingly. I think this passage will be useful to me throughout my life.
The problem is the most important, but the one least mentioned. What you should ask is whether he is learning better, not whether he is learning more. When we study, we only fill our memories and leave our understanding and awareness blank. Just like a bird goes out to forage and feeds its chicks without tasting it, our scholars also collect knowledge from books, just hang it on their lips, and then spit it out wherever the wind blows. I like to excerpt my favorite aphorisms from books at any time, not just to remember them. I have a bad memory. Aren't the people reading most of the articles in this book doing the same thing?
Good reading, good reading, good reading, good reading!
