Chapter 734 - 585: Let the Past Go, Let the Beginning Begin
"Moreover, what if this child belongs to the society? Do you need to raise and educate your child from a social perspective? And if this child belongs to the world, would you raise and educate your child from a worldly perspective?"
In Ning Youguang’s view, this kind of cognitive thinking from Xia Hui is truly too common.
Common, but it doesn’t necessarily mean completely normal or reasonable.
For example, in society, we find that regardless of the cognitive level of the parents, many of them believe when educating their children that "the child is mine and must listen to me!"
What does it mean for a child to listen to everything their parents say?
It means— "I successfully control you."
But the fact is, many parents with this mentality hope their children can surpass them in the future.
Based on this vision.
Parents with high cognitive levels have this mindset, resulting in a very low margin of error when educating their children.
Because based on their own knowledge and vision, they give their children a lot of correct directional guidance, enabling them to reach a decent level in the future.
But many parents with lower cognitive levels, like factory workshop workers or migrant workers with low educational levels, also believe "the child is mine and must listen to me"—and that’s very problematic!
Actually, from the perspective of social development laws, regardless of the parents’ cognitive levels.
By and large, every next generation is smarter than the previous one, with each generation of children being better than their parents.
Under such social development laws, if parents still expect their children to listen to them, they eventually foster replicas of themselves.
What can they replicate?
It depends on the parents’ own quality.
It’s not problematic to want your children to live like you in the future through such education and guidance.
The problem is when parents clearly educate their children in a replicative manner, yet once the children grow up.
They complain, "No, child, you don’t listen! I didn’t want you to grow like this! How could you end up like this?!"
They forget that the child turned out this way precisely because they listened too much.
Returning to Xia Hui’s question—
"With ’I’, there’s pain," Ning Youguang said to Xia Hui, "The larger your ’I’ is, the greater your pain; the narrower the boundaries of your existence; the smaller the scope the world you can accept. So think about how you should decide."
Xia Hui remained silent.
Ning Youguang continued, "I know how painful it is to sever the ’I’, but the more ’I’ you can cut off, the more happiness and freedom you will gain. A shift in thought can solve many of your problems and pain."
"It’s too difficult." On the other side of the video, Xia Hui rubbed his face heavily, "I will think about it carefully."
"Of course." Ning Youguang chuckled lightly, "Severing ’egoism’ is not something you can immediately cut off just by saying it. It’s a long process of cultivating the mind, but once you’re willing to shift your thoughts, a doorway to a new world will open for you."
—"So, give time some time, let the past pass, let the beginning start."
"Alright." Despite feeling heavy-hearted, Xia Hui fully believed in Ning Youguang, convinced her methods would surely work, "I’ve recorded what you just said. I’ll listen to it carefully later, ponder it deeply, and then act." 1314
