Volume 2 Summary and Chat

I. Summary of Volume II

The second volume is a distinct phase of growth and accumulation.

This volume is actually not easy to go into details, because in my opinion, the focus is all kinds of foreshadowing and foreshadowing.

The seemingly strange and unreasonable things in this volume will be revealed one by one in the future.

When I was preparing the second volume, it was very simple. I just felt that since ancient Greece was written, Sparta and sports competitions had to be written. Of course, marathons were hard to avoid.

It's just that because it is a world with magic and divine power, many old things are invalid, so the war process is biased towards individual heroism.

This is the inevitability of high-end power wars.

At the end of this volume, Su ye officially embarked on the legendary road.

Like his choice at the end of volume two.

He decided to develop papermaking and movable type printing, not to show off, not to make money, not to show the superiority of the traversers, not limited to literacy, not limited to popular culture, not limited to the low-level interpretation of the four great inventions.

But to advance the progress of humanity as a whole, but as a legend to ask yourself to do things, "why" matters.

Just like everyone else, we eat, breathe and live, so it is more important to understand what we live for.

Su ye figured out why, so he didn't even care that papermaking and movable type printing would strengthen the gods and temples, because the progress of the times would not leave anyone behind.

Unless you stick to the old days.

Once the times start to speed up, then anyone who blocks the tide of the times will be swallowed up.

Even gods.

Even when Su ye decided to unite with the temple to accelerate the popularization of paper-making and movable type printing, he was ready to make progress with everyone who was willing to make progress.

No matter what status.

In the first volume, Su ye was still obsessed with the struggle between commoners and nobles, but in the second volume, he had already realized something deeper.

The dispute between nobles and civilians is only the level of the problem, and only by breaking through this level can we find the solution level of the problem.

With rich experience,

He also learned to think about the wisdom and knowledge of the sages and great men, Su ye has gradually changed.

It is not a change in strength, but a transformation in spirit and thinking.

At the end of the first volume, I seem to have said that there are indeed many preaching-like things in the text. As for why, I will talk about it in detail at the end of the third volume.

The third volume is the turning point of the whole book in the outline.

When I was thinking about the third volume yesterday, I deleted some original content and only planned to write the main one.

Progress should pick up slightly, and from volume four onwards, progress will pick up even further.

Cough cough, I will take a vaccination. On about two or three key issues, the third volume will still spend a few chapters to focus on explanations.

However, after the third volume, Su ye's spirit and thinking have completed the transformation, and he will no longer have too much preaching before, but will write a good story. The reason will be summarized after the end of the third volume.

What I can say now is that I am really not preaching, I am just writing about different people or things in different ways, or in other words, I am writing about "the eyes cannot see but the mind can" A world of touch".

The content of the text is here, let’s talk about other things.

Two, small talk

Why can't I change three times a day, four times and five times a day?

This question should be looked at from two perspectives, internal and external.

Let me first talk about the external environment, which I think is only 1% of the impact. Yes, even if I talk about the external impact first, I think the environmental factors are actually very, very small.

For example, the weather is too hot in summer, and my sleep is disturbed. For example, the industry is in turmoil and I am uneasy. For example, the impact of the epidemic and entangled subscriptions, etc...

Even if I find many factors that slow down my writing, I still think the influence is only 1%.

I never deny the influence of the external environment, but I firmly believe that as people grow older, the negative influence of the external environment will become smaller and smaller, and their own influence on themselves will become greater and greater.

From within myself, what is affecting me?

I analyze it from two aspects, but the analysis process is very complicated, so I try to keep it simple.

Now I study Su Ye in the book every day, or those big guys, try to find a large and complete time of half an hour to an hour every day, and focus on thinking about one problem or one point.

If you can think thoroughly about one question every day, you can think about 365 questions in a year, and 3650 questions in ten years. How many questions can you have in a lifetime? Right.

1. I lack focus.

People who can write for a long time need to have a particularly strong concentration.

I am actually a person who lacks focus since I was a child. Even now, despite the self-management I have studied for several years, there is still no qualitative improvement in concentration.

Of course, I am not in a hurry, take my time, I will give myself ten years.

As I said before, when people are older, they should understand that they are the most influential force on themselves, while when they are young, the outside world has the greatest influence, especially childhood.

Therefore, when I was thinking, I traced why my thinking was so divergent and unable to concentrate, and I traced it back to my childhood.

When I was a child, I was fostered by my parents in relatives' homes, such as grandma, grandma, aunt, uncle and aunt.

No matter how young I am, I still realize that I am not their real family, they are more pitiful to me, and it is difficult to treat me as a real family, such as the bullying of my brothers, the indifference of other relatives, all kinds of things will treat My thinking has a huge impact.

Thinking about it now, I was quite tragic when I was a child. Only when my relatives frightened me with a distant father whom I had no memory of at all, did I know that I had a father, so the father in my mind at that time was a terrible image.

I still don't communicate with my father. (Manually cover your face with a small emoji)

My first impression of my mother was that she picked me up when I was already in the first grade of elementary school.

My relatives at that time were all ordinary people. They were tired of living and had their own children. It was impossible for them to pay too much attention to me.

This led to my view of the environment at the time: it was an unsafe environment, because there was no parental protection and no family warmth.

To survive in a dangerous environment, should my mind focus or diverge?

Obviously, I have to diverge all the time to find all kinds of danger signals. If I am too focused, I may not be able to find the danger.

This kind of influence by the environment since I was a child has formed a deep-rooted divergent and even suspicious thinking in me.

Therefore, I have been particularly easily attracted by external changes since I was a child.

Even my study is the same, as long as I study hard, my grades will rise in a straight line, but I can't concentrate on studying for a long time, so what awaits me is ups and downs.

Being too spread out to stay focused is one of the main reasons why I can't keep writing many chapters every day.

However, the problem should be divided into two parts. If divergent thinking makes me unable to concentrate, will it bring benefits?

Of course there is.

Divergent thinking makes me feel like a duck to water in the "idea" before writing. With my rich "imagination, fantasy and delusion" ability, I can make some small achievements in writing.

However, my inability to focus also restricted my further growth.

The fundamental reason why I can say this frankly now is that I no longer interpret the world as a "dangerous environment" as I did before, and I am no longer overly defensive.

From my current perspective, the fundamental problem of my childhood was not the environment, but "my interpretation of the environment".

If I explained it like this at the time: it was because my parents loved me and they knew they couldn't protect me well outside, so they sent me to my hometown. Although my relatives are not good at expressing, they also love me in their hearts. Although my brother will bully me, it is because they want to express themselves, or they think that I have taken away the love that belongs to their family, but they don't really want to bully me...

If I interpreted it this way, I must be completely different now.

Of course, I'm actually very glad that I didn't encounter extreme situations back then. Things like being chained and being seriously injured by family members didn't happen to me. If something too serious happens, you should find a way to fight and fight for your own living space.

Hmm... what am I trying to say?

This thinking diverges...

To sum it up, although I used to look at my childhood and the past with a confrontational mentality, I am now slowly reconciling with everything in the past.

Although the past has a great influence on me, causing my thinking to be too divergent and unable to maintain focus, it is difficult to write for a long time, but I no longer blame the problem on the past, and I am now working hard to improve my ability to focus.

2. Self-identity.

Whether it is divergence or concentration, whether it is writing or updating, it is just a "representation". We humans have an innate abstract ability.

In the process of thinking, I abstracted a bit. The whole process is actually very complicated, and it will take a long time to write, so let me briefly talk about it.

What is long writing? is an action.

What is the prerequisite for deciding to act? is judgment.

So what drives judgment? Awareness, awareness of change or invariance, and then judgment.

So, what is before awareness?

Up to this point, I have thought about it for a long time, and finally determined that the precondition of awareness is "self-identification".

This logical line is quite complicated because it involves my interpretation of various knowledge and experiences. I won’t say much. Simply put, correct awareness requires correct self-knowledge, and correct self-knowledge requires self-identity first.

Because if we cannot identify with ourselves, we will have deviations in our understanding of the world that are not beneficial to ourselves, just like my childhood.

And I continue to ask what is the premise of self-identity?

I thought for a long time, it should be "survival" or "existence".

There is no need to question before survival, because that is purely physiological and genetic.

Because we need to survive, we want to live, so we have to "identify ourselves". If we don't identify ourselves, we will lose the need to survive, and will fall into self-destruction, then everything about us will be meaningless.

Because I have heard that people with severe depression have changes in their brain structure that are different from ordinary people, and they will enter a state of "nothingness". Simply put, they don't care about life or death.

They have lost their need for survival, so their thinking is actually not as good as plants, they will not care about eating and drinking, even the so-called zisha is just a behavior that seems normal to them, not really wanting to die, this topic can't be said much .

On the basis of this incident, I determined that if I want to survive, I must identify myself, identify with my own meaning, identify with my own value, identify with the world, and identify with everything.

Ok……

Ok……

Ok……

Convergence and divergence.

What is the purpose of saying this, that is, I am not lazy, I am not unwilling to update, I am now cultivating self-identity, awareness, and judgment. Only in this way can I write better and more , and then more and more updates faster.

Now everyone understands.

Now I have to reconcile with the past me and everything in the past, and also agree with the present me, so it is difficult to update more at the same time.

However, I believe that as time goes by, I will definitely improve more and more.

3. Self-feeding.

This is a word that I saw and was fascinated by when I was looking for self-identity.

This word has been chewed for a long time.

And, with a preliminary idea.

In the past, if, if, I mean if,

My parents and family did not feed me well in terms of knowledge, thought and love.

My relatives, too, did not feed me well.

My school, teachers and classmates, did not feed me well.

My environment, society, acquaintances and friends did not feed me well.

Even, I have done many, many wrong things, and when I think about it, I blush and regret, and I have not fed myself well in terms of knowledge, thoughts and love.

Well, from now on, I will feed myself well.

I want to feed myself love, feed health, feed positivity, feed goodness, feed great thinking, feed basic knowledge, feed everything I like, I love, I dream, I expect...

To sum up the full text in one sentence, it's not that I haven't added updates, but I've been preparing for them! Hahahahahaha...

In the end, I hope that everyone can reconcile with the past and find their own system. From now on, feed yourself well and let yourself become the one you love.

This is today's update, although it is not the main text.

Continue to update the text tomorrow.
