When discussing the topic of "why does Chinese education not seem to directly teach people and the world, so that we are full of wealth but occasionally feel powerless in social interaction", we might as well use a netizen's sharp comment as an introduction: "Full of knowledge, but it seems to be incomprehensible to the fireworks in the world, is it really the light of knowledge that covers the way of life?" These words not only express the hearts of many people, but also subtly lead to the focus of our discussion today.
Positive and negative: the duplex of knowledge and human affection
Positive perspective: Some people think that the modern education system does focus too much on knowledge indoctrination, as if cultivating children into containers of knowledge, but ignoring the wordless book of life. They point out that while there is no shortage of wisdom about etiquette, filial piety, and harmonious coexistence in traditional culture, these essences are often marginalized in the classroom and replaced by the tense rhythm of test-oriented education. In such an environment, children learn to understand problems, but they may not know how to solve people's puzzles; I have accumulated knowledge, but I have repeatedly hit a wall in interpersonal relationships.
Contradictory voices: There are also people who have different views. They believe that the essence of education is not only to impart skills or knowledge, but also to shape personality, develop independent thinking and problem-solving skills. In this process, the knowledge of human feelings and sophistication is not untouched, but it exists in a more subtle and indirect way. For example, through teamwork projects, children learn to communicate and coordinate; In the debate competition, they learned to respect their opponents and express themselves rationally. Isn't these experiences a profound experience of human sophistication?
In-depth analysis: a pluralistic understanding of human feelings
When it comes to "human feelings", many people think of slightly derogatory words such as "observing words and feelings" and "slapping horses". But as another netizen said: "The real sophistication of human feelings is to use altruistic behavior to produce self-interested effects." This reminds us that human sophistication is not just synonymous with sleek sophistication, it is also a kind of wisdom, an ability to seek harmony and coexistence in a complex social environment.
Some people are worried that overemphasizing the sophistication of human feelings will breed an unhealthy atmosphere of deceiving the good and fearing the evil, and pandering to the horse. But in reality, true social wisdom is learning to understand others, respect differences, and respond flexibly while maintaining self-principles. It requires us to pursue personal interests while not forgetting to take into account the feelings of others, so as to achieve a win-win or even multi-win situation.
Self-improvement: It's never too late to start
For those of you who feel that the lesson of human sophistication is missing from your educational experience, I would say this: Growing up is a marathon, not a sprint. You have every time and opportunity to make up for it. Whether it is by reading classic literary works and absorbing the wisdom of the ancients from them; Or through travel, experience the collision and integration of different cultures; Or actively participate in social activities, make like-minded friends, and every attempt is an improvement for yourself.
Remember, sophistication is not an overnight skill, it requires time and experience. But as long as you're willing to start, it's never too late. As the old saying goes, "The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, followed by now." ”
