Everyone is an independent individual. It is never said that we must always rely on others, so relatively speaking, the universe is lonely and we are also lonely. But in comparison, the universe is so lonely, and there will always be people around us to heal ourselves, so we are still happy (ﾟ∀ﾟ)
There are two kinds of self-confidence: one is personal independence, contempt for worldly public opinion and utilitarianism; the other is intellectual arrogance, always self-righteous and feeling great about oneself. I appreciate the former kind of self-confidence, but always have a bit of distrust of the latter kind of self-confidence. People in this world must always have something to rely on, otherwise they will be empty and boring. There are two things that seem to be recognized as the pillars of life. For practical people, they are called career and family, and for spiritual people, they are called career and love. Food, sex, career and family are the two socially recognized means of satisfying people's desires. Of course, they cannot be said to be vulgar. However, the career may not be satisfactory, the family may not be happy, and the desires may be satisfied, but at the cost of endless troubles. As for career success and love happiness, although they are highly desirable, they are even more uncertain. Moreover, some people who are too mentally sensitive can still not get rid of the feeling of emptiness even if they get these two things. Therefore, people must have personality independence. It is true that you cannot live without society and other people, but you cannot blindly cling to social buildings and other people. You have to take root in the soil of life, and you have to cast your own anchor on the sea of life. If a person only attaches himself to things outside himself, even if they are extremely beautiful things, he may not be able to see his inner emptiness and lack of foundation when things are going well. Once there is a storm, such as social turmoil, career setbacks, death of relatives, broken love, etc., He will be depressed or even have a mental breakdown. As Emerson said: "However, the fact is: he was already a drifting broken ship, and the subsequent gust of wind only exposed his wandering state to himself."
In fact, becoming independent is not as difficult as imagined. It probably means you have to endure a little hardship when you are not used to it at first, but you can't always be like this. You have to adapt to living alone, and then a lonely universe is formed.
Sacrifice everything for love, Obey your heart; Friends, relatives, time, reputation, property, Plans, credit and inspiration, You can give up anything. Forsake everything for love; However, listen to me: You need to keep today, Tomorrow, your whole future, Let them be absolutely free, Don't be possessed by your lover. If the girl you love has another crush, give her her freedom. You should know When the demigods left, the gods came.
Very good book, worth reading

Although the universe is lonely, she is also lucky. Not to mention other things, there are so many planets around her. Although they will not be together forever, or they will only see each other for a long time, their motivation is still so good, so why not envy them.
Living is to feel the world, to feel all the accidents and heartbeats.
Very good, very peaceful
textbook
Then you hug me and talk a lot and worry about gains and losses.
Zhou Guoping's book is too profound and I don't understand some parts, but if you stick with it, you can still learn a lot.
