Learn to doubt, you can doubt everything, and the spirit of doubt is beneficial to the development of society, the progress of science and technology, and doubt can make people learn to think. For example, now people are concerned about educating children, is it rich or poor? They believe that children are their future, and they should be greatly satisfied in material aspects. Some people think that children can't get what they want; some parents entrust all their hopes to their children, and some parents let it go. It is true that every parent has their own ideas in education and has the right to implement them. But you have to admit that today's bear child will easily be a "guest" in prison in the future, and society will not take care that he is your child. Most parents teach their children that they want their children to be useful people. You must realize that people have to go through long-term education to hope to become useful people, and it is even harder to become outstanding people. It is not that the more open the better, but the better. We must never simply believe that some things are better to consider their pros and cons.

This society is not lacking in hope, but "teaching well". It's not that they have a bright mind. If they are rebellious, they may become thieves or even thieves. Is this beneficial or harmful to society?

But it doesn't make you doubt everything, and people who don't believe in anyone or anything will never have a good ending. We should measure both sides of everything and everyone, so that there will be no more regrets. Talk about the matter, clarify your doubts, don't comment on the world in general, don't be a keyboard warrior, and don't be too one-sided about the world.

Therefore, we must learn to believe in everything. The world is beautiful because of the beauty that most people hold in their hearts.

Many things I believed before the age of 30 turned into disbelief one by one; but many things I believed before the age of 30 are actually still believed today.

That's what you have to learn to believe, but not everything, because the latter is more dangerous than the former. Doubting everything is the same mistake as trusting everything, and it is the right way to get it. The English poet Chaucer told us that it is neither left nor right, and a person's knowledge and integrity are needed to adjust the scale.

I once believed that the sea withered and the rock was rotten as a sign of eternity. Later, I learned that the sea is actually very easy to wither, and the stone is very easy to rot. Rain may not come again, and the sea will not become mulberry fields again. It turned out that the earth that he stepped on could easily be destroyed. The eternity of the sea withered and rotten, originally did not exist.

For example, love is always more disillusioned, but fireflies glow in the night never to keep the light. For example, the eternity where the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten may not exist, but if there is an infinite universe in a grain of sand, there must be an unchanging time in a moment.

I once believed in patriotism, but later I learned that there is a problem with the definition of "country". Usually, the "country" defined by those who persuade you to be patriotic is not necessarily cute or worthy of love...  

For example, the country may not be lovely, but the land and people can be loved. For example, history may not be believed, but the pursuit of truth can be endless. For example, civilization may be fragile, but we have nothing to rely on but civilization. Justice, for example, may be extremely questionable, but it is safer to care about justice than not to care.

There is something in everyone's heart about believing and unbelieving, and the two are not eternal, and even change each other frequently. For example, you can believe in the law, but you don’t have to believe the words of lawyers and judges. Learn to believe in beauty and learn to be silent.

When you open your eyes, open your heart, or you will always be narrow. Before I was 30, I thought life was all about those people and those things. Gradually I learned to look behind people and things and look at the real core. The thing is that that thing has already happened and cannot be changed. What changes is my inner self. I can see what changes have taken place in myself. No longer irritable, although not doubting, but no longer believing easily. If you can feel the small things that bring you a different feeling than before, it means that you have changed.

People and things that made you angry in the past may not be able to easily arouse emotional waves now.

The people and things that used to worry you all night can't sleep, now you can sleep too.

Seeing news is no longer about seeing what to believe and learning to analyze the motivation and purpose behind it.

If you want to judge whether a person has grown, just look at who is leading you when things come. Is it yourself or someone else? It seems that our distrust of people and things comes from inner unease and doubts about ourselves. You are very calm and trusting in yourself, and you will not be disturbed by other people's words.

Every step of life is to discover a deeper issue. It may be simple and easy to answer, or it may be difficult to answer. But never stop moving forward.
