Judgment, behavior. The larger the size of the group, the greater the pressure on the individual and the easier it is to be assimilated by the group. But not all individuals will be changed by the group, which makes them isolated from the group and become marginalized people in society.

In ancient times, Father Tao Yuanming lived a life of picking chrysanthemums and seeing Nanshan leisurely. The old man was probably tired of the political struggles in the court, coupled with the unsuccessful career, so he chose a leisurely and contented pastoral life to comfort his tired heart. Gauguin was also unhappy in his paintings, so he chose to go to Tahiti and live with primitive people. In "Wilderness Survival", the male protagonist leaves civilized society in search of himself. "Kim's Drifting" simply lives on an uninhabited island because of evading loan sharks. These lifestyles that are far away from the crowd are different, but the reason is that there is a big difference between the individual's consciousness and the group's consciousness. If the individual is completely separated from the group, he will feel lonely. Loneliness is a process of self-seeking value. This value enables individuals to have a sense of existence in the group, but when individuals leave the group for too long, they will get used to the life of leaving the group. This is not to escape from life, nor is it to reject life, but to choose another life. Way.
I used to think that I could live independently as described in the novel, drinking spirits, swaying youth, wandering around, looking at unfamiliar scenery and smoking lonely cigarettes. Later, I discovered that people always have something to live in the world. Bondage, this bondage is sometimes scarred. Individuals on the margins are always easily assimilated by the group. I gradually learn to walk in the world wearing a mask. The joy and anger are no longer in the form of color, and I will change it when I meet different people. Different masks deal with it. When I go to sleep at night, listening to the sound of the minute hand walking hits the tranquility of the night, I also know that I have gradually lost my true self under the mask. Later, I no longer wanted the life I expected when I was young, just hope that one day I can take off the mask of hypocrisy.
On rainy days, take the car home from the night shift. Sleeped over the platform in a daze. After getting off the car, I found that I came to an unfamiliar place. The refreshing air made my consciousness clear. The lush woods in front of me seemed to have birds flying among the branches of the forest. The place where Yuntun and fog gathered in the distance was faint. You can see the ridges of mountains, and the white stones that are not covered by plants are particularly conspicuous. When I slept at night, I dreamed that I had returned to that unfamiliar place. This time I didn't turn my head back and took the bus to go home. Instead, I left the bustling crowd and walked into the woods without looking back. There are elk with glowing antlers in the woods, the trunks are covered with vigorous moss, the feet are green plants, there are no flowers, but there are blue butterflies hovering among the plants. When you lift your head, you can also get out of the branches. See a little bit of starlight. Later I woke up and found that it was just a dream in the chaotic time and space, and there was an inexplicable sense of loss in the silent night. I really hope to return to the woods, whether the woods are reality or dreams, then For a moment, I really wanted to start a life out of the crowd and start a different life.
Even in the middle of the night, the city of Novosibirsk is still brightly lit. This should be a lively city, but I always feel that the liveliness seems to have nothing to do with me. When I look up at the starry sky, I still feel empty in my heart. In the out of sight, the corners where thousands of sails are exhausted, the place where there are insects at night is my hometown. I used to want to leave it, but now when I think of it, my eyes are always moist. There is no prosperous time and no fresh clothes. The handsome men and pretty women of angry horses, but with the smoky mountains and old friends in the paddock, may not be able to go to the dream world, but it is also great that the full stop of this life can stay after the word of hometown.
Such a life is enough.
Such a life, you can only think about it.
