The history of philosophy has been thousands of years, and since the birth of mankind, philosophical problems have been puzzling mankind. Perhaps we have learned very little, and the philosophers we can name seem to be people many years ago.
Russell is a very interesting person. Besides his philosophical thoughts, people may mention him because of his private life. Russell has been married and divorced many times in his life, which is the representative of "liberalism".
But whether a person is great or not should be placed in the whole human society. We sincerely admire Russell's achievements in philosophy. Today, I chose five sentences for you from Russell's works. I hope you will like them.
First, people have morality because the temptation is not big enough.
This is really a sentence that subverts the three views and even goes against the road. In the education we receive, selflessness is a character that everyone should have, and everyone should have basic moral qualities and can pay with their own lives.
Later, when we entered the society, we found that there was no so-called morality in this world. All morality is based on interests, and our self-righteous morality actually exists above interests.
Second, the most fundamental shortcoming of a father is that he wants his children to win glory for themselves.
Some time ago, I read a point that parents are always reluctant to admit that 90% of children are ordinary people. There are few geniuses in the world, and we don't have the conditions to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, so the so-called training of talents is just a big wave.
Try to find some big fish in this simple way. Most people are mediocre, which is related to their living environment, education level and so on. What parents should do is to let their children, when they become ordinary people, still find ways to get happiness from life.
Third, every specialty of yours can pave the way for happiness.
The ancients often said that "many skills do not bear the burden." Every skill is an important bargaining chip for us to change our destiny. When I was at school, my family was poor, and I never gave you any cram schools or extra-long classes. Family conditions are not good, and living is the first.
Interest does not need to be cultivated, and every child has his own special dream. The birth of this dream has a lot to do with his living environment. Like me, I want to be a writer. Because this is one of the most labor-saving and cost-free interests, it is good to have a life without training.
Realizing that time is not important is the gateway to wisdom.
Many people are puzzled when they see this sentence. But then we think about it carefully, how many years have passed in life, and in this grand universe, these short decades are just a moment. What can people gain in these decades?
Life is meaningless and meaningful. What matters is how we look at it. Nothing in this world is completely worthless, and no one will know that burning sand with a handful of fire is the beginning of glass production.
5. All social inequalities are income inequality in the long run.
Russell's remark is a bit harsh and will certainly offend many people. Of course, the ass decides the head, and I certainly want to refute this sentence. Inequality is an important driving force for human progress.
After being too equal, people lose their enterprising spirit, because human nature is lazy. Therefore, proper inequality can promote people's competitive psychology and make people work harder for their lives.
Some of Russell's words subverted our traditional ideas, but life is like this, and each has its own way of living. How to treat Russell's five sentences? Please share your thoughts with us quickly.
