The Reveries of a Lonely Wanderer

This is a man who loves nature and truth, and he is also an idealist. Of course, idealists are always incompatible with the world at that time. But the author's life shows that he was a man with a fighting spirit. He is also aloof, has particularly high requirements for morality, and has low emotional intelligence, so he always falls out with the people who take him in. Of course, this may be because of his love for the truth. Completed on December 10, 2022

"I believe that a person's freedom is not only about doing what he wants to do, but also about not doing what he doesn't want to do. This is what I have always insisted on." This sentence is similar to the sentence in a Chinese textbook: "Freedom is not about doing what you want, but not doing what you don't want to do." It has the same purpose. This concept was conveyed thousands of miles away by sages of two races and skin colors from different regions and different eras. This sentence itself was engraved on the monument of human thought by two people who had very little to do with each other.

"True happiness actually comes from ourselves. A person who truly understands and understands happiness will not be forced to be truly unhappy." - "The Reveries of a Lonely Walker" This is Rousseau's last work, an autobiographical and philosophical work. His life was full of misfortunes. He lost his mother when he was young and his father when he was young. He spent most of his time being hated, attacked, and expelled by the world. Before writing this book, he tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. He finally understood that all efforts are useless and are just self-torture that is destined to fail. He chose the only way left, compromising to fate, obeying and no longer resisting, no longer expecting, no longer worried. He began to devote himself to finding inner peace, started doing things according to his own wishes, enjoying solitude, intoxicated by nature, and studying plants. He insisted on truth and pursued freedom. His thoughts were like sharp swords, piercing the feudal system and touching the nerves of those with vested interests. He dares to face his own destiny and the shackles imposed on him by others, and he dares to look directly into his own heart and judge it. He stepped down from the altar and came to each of us. The whole book made me feel depressed, sad, and a little depressed. This book is really difficult to read. I read it twice and tried again and again to understand the author's meaning and understand his state of mind at that time. His analysis of the inner world and his understanding of loneliness resonated deeply during his walk. I saw his ups and downs in his life from the perspective of a reader, and followed his thoughts all the way. When I woke up, I found that his life ended quietly between the lines.

In this world, I no longer have expectations or fears. I feel very peaceful in the abyss. People who have a miserable life are as joyless and sorrowless as gods.

I originally thought this book would only have 4 stars at most. But I have recently encountered people or things similar to what Mr. Rousseau experienced, and I have a strong resonance with this, especially when you are not understood by others and are insulted and insulted for no reason. They are not trying to point out the errors in your opinions or thoughts, they just want to attack you. All we can do is to endure or escape like the author. This book can help us better understand Rousseau's feelings when we encounter unreasonable attacks and insults. However, as Rousseau was highly sensitive and easily affected by other people's comments, he did not solve the problems he faced at the time. And who would read this work just to understand Rousseau? I don't know, it's hard for me to describe what I learned in this article.

It is a great inspiration, especially the experiences I have gained, which are full of my emotions, marked with my unique mark, and the support I have relied on to survive throughout my life. I no longer doubted myself in an instant. The author and I are like, as long as this person or thing is not in front of me, I can feel happy, but if someone keeps mentioning it in front of you, I will always be very touched. I also love to be alone and think to myself. But I am still trapped by reality. Come on, the author is old after all, and I am still young. The environment and historical background are different. I can refer to it and hope that my life can achieve worldly and self-success.

You can always find traces of yourself in this book

I have little experience and cannot think deeply about many places, but I also feel that there are many places that resonate with me, and it is interesting to read it calmly. Many of the author's views are also admirable, but everyone's way of life is different. I am a layman and I am still young. I can't not care about some people and things. I like tranquility, but I don't like loneliness, so I can only slowly understand and learn, which is a pity.

I can always find traces of myself in his words, in thought, life, and behavior. Sometimes it feels like I am analyzing myself.

The earliest I learned about Rousseau was in high school history textbooks, about the French Enlightenment, Rousseau's ideas, and the social contract theory. Emile, Confessions, etc., The reveries of a lonely wanderer, I hope we can all learn to be alone and think.

He is a good man and has his own unique perspective on things. I've been really annoyed lately... Reading this book can help me find some peace. The text also gives me advice and persuasion, and it's also quite down-to-earth.

For me, this work is like a spiritual bath and a massage of my thoughts. Some points of view are new and break the limitations and boundaries of my thinking. They are really worth a look! The writing is gentle and powerful, but after reading the author's life, I feel that this is a person who dares to think, do, and take risks, and I feel a bit regretful!

This is about the examination and judgment of the inner world. Reading this book seems to be looking into my heart. This is a philosophical book.

I can only wake up to the breeze, and get drunk to see the bright moon

At one time, Rousseau was just a representative figure of the general ideological liberation movement in history books to me, but when I personally read his words and resonated with his reverie, I really began to understand why he was a pioneer of thought of that era.

This book tells people about the author's vast inner world with vivid language, wise philosophy and sincere emotions.

Human beings are inherently good, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation.
