Linglong brought Yun Xi and Chi Yueling to Shen Xinlan and told her that Chi Yueling was Ye Feng's new student.
After Shen Xinlan looked Chi Yueling up and down, she smiled and said, "Sure enough, she is also a beauty."
Yun Xiqi asked curiously: "Godmother, what did you mean by 'Sure enough' just now?"
Shen Xinlan shook her head and said with a smile, "Nothing?"
When Shen Xinlan knew that Linglong and Yunxi were going to explore the secret realm with Ye Feng, she kept telling Linglong this and that. In short, she should not cause trouble to teacher Ye Feng, listen to teacher Ye Feng's words, and protect herself. Don't take risks alone, etc.
Linglong pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "Mom, you are so verbose."
Shen Xinlan scraped Linglong's nose and scolded with a smile: "If you were as good as Yun Xi, I wouldn't worry."
"No way, I've been very good lately." Linglong said dissatisfied
"Does that mean you have been good recently?" Shen Xinlan sighed and asked
"Mom!" Linglong took Shen Xinlan's hand and said aggrievedly

Lan Lan didn't have much to say. Anyway, she had a permanent meal ticket from Ye Mansion, and now Ye Feng couldn't drive her away. So today she has been sitting on the sofa in the living room, lying on her side like a sleeping arhat, eating potato chips, drinking Coke, watching TV, enjoying herself and being as happy as a god. At this moment, Lan Lan finally understood a little bit about the human happiness of lying down. Anyway, as a funeral star, she would never follow Ye Feng around. Otherwise, if we go, will the earth still be there?
Lan Lan didn't understand that lying down was obviously her own business. Although it seemed a bit lazy and decadent, it was only one person's business after all. There was no doubt about it. And lying down is obviously a very happy thing. In addition to harming your own body, it will not harm others, nor will it endanger social stability. Why do so many people criticize it?
But when she thought of the antonym of lying flat - involution, Lan Lan understood everything. After all, her years had not been in vain. If she couldn't even understand this, then all her years were really lost on a dog.
What is playing on TV at the moment is Lan Lan's favorite TV show - "Animal World"
Lan Lan couldn't help but sigh: "Human beings are really arrogant. Real human beings are just unlucky people randomly selected by nature with their eyes closed, but they always arrogantly think that they are the favored ones of heaven. It is really ridiculous."
As he spoke, he picked up a few more potato chips and threw them into his mouth. He took a big gulp of Coke and burped. It felt really good.
So what exactly does Lan Lan want to understand?
Lying down means lying on the ground, no longer excited and eager for success. No matter what the other person's reaction is, there will be no waves in your heart and you will not react or resist in any way, which means you are submissive. Lying down may seem like compromising and giving up, but in fact it means "breaking through the ceiling downwards" and choosing the most inactive way to rebel against coercion. When young people choose to lie down, they choose to go to the edge, transcend the mainstream paths of working overtime, getting promoted, making money, and buying a house, and use their own way to dissolve the discipline of the external environment on individuals.
The reasons for lying flat are nothing more than two points: the first reason is that I am not willing to work hard anymore, the second reason is also the main reason, the upper and lower classes are extremely solidified, and people cannot see the promotion path after hard work, because the path They were all blocked. Therefore, efforts are meaningless except ruining one's own health. In this case, any individual will choose to lower his or her own desires to reduce the pressure of social survival. After all, failure to get what you want will put pressure on yourself. If I don’t have desires, I will be strong. No one can morally kidnap me or induce me.
And the most ridiculous thing is that those who jump out to criticize young people for being shameful are those with vested interests that block the upward path.
If it's one person lying flat, it may be because that person is lazy and doesn't work hard, but if it's a group of people lying flat, then it can never be the first reason.
Human society is a pyramid structure, and there is an inherent contradiction between the upper and lower levels. The continuous benefits of the upper class are destined to be exploited from the lower class, while the lower class only has the fate of being exploited. The antonym of lying flat is to turn the contradiction between the upper and lower classes into the contradiction between the lower classes. At that time, not only will there be no conflict between the lower classes and the upper classes, but the lower class will try their best to please the upper class.
However, once lying flat alleviates the contradictions within the lower class, it will instead stimulate conflicts between the lower class and the upper class. This is why so many people are criticized by lying flat. And where those criticisms mainly come from, the source is naturally self-evident.
Under this situation, many famous sentences emerged, such as "If I endure hardship, I will have endless suffering in my life", "As long as I lie down fast enough, the sickle cannot cut me", "As long as you choose "Lie down and the world will make way for you", "Lie down is justice", "Because there are no more people carrying the burden forward, those who have been quiet for years are in a hurry" and so on.
As mentioned before, if there is only one person who chooses to lie flat, then it must be the reason for that person, but if a group of people choose to lie flat, then it must be the reason for this society, or more accurately, it is the reason for the upper-level managers of this society.
So in Lan Lan's view, this is entirely caused by human beings. Because human beings are naturally greedy, inherently evil, and pursue interests, the wealth and resources in this world are destined to be concentrated in a few people. The structure of this society is always pyramid-shaped. And people who gain benefits will only think of two things, how can I get more benefits, and how can I protect my own interests. No one in history can break out of this vicious circle. Emperors such as Qin Shihuang, Tang Zong, Song Zu, and Han Wu all all sought immortality elixirs in their later years without exception. Seeking immortality was the ultimate means to consolidate interests. Therefore, the solidification of classes and the concentration of wealth are inevitable in history. When wealth concentration and class solidification reach a certain level and are not resolved, the final result will be violent disruption and reshuffling. Then the cycle starts again.
Human history is constantly advancing in this cycle, and it has not changed at all from ancient times to the present.
If you ask me how I feel about lying down, I don’t know, but I believe that “lying down is guiltless, and struggling is justified.” Lying down and standing up are just staged choices in the journey of life. People change, ideals change, and so will choices. Now let me make a choice for my life. It's too difficult to be a human being. It's not like looking for a wife. What's more, wives can be divorced and replaced, right?
What I want to say is, don't give up your desire for success, you might as well try again. If you are really tired, lie down for a while and rest. When you are rested, pack your bags and mood and start again.
After all, the road only lies under the feet of those who walk.
