Reflections on Daily Life and Learning

Here is the English translation of the given Chinese text, preserving its tone, structure, and detailed content:

2024

These days at night, I watch two lawyers stream live . I hear many shocking cases and the attitudes of the parties involved, which are often extremely controversial when viewed from outside their own circles. Once a person becomes too familiar with their own world, it’s easy to express things that seem excessively severe or inappropriate to others. Maybe people fall into such traps at some point in their lives, leading to tragic endings they weren’t prepared for. Sometimes these situations are personal, and sometimes they’re societal.

Cutting down on online activity feels like letting snow accumulate in a heart ache, making it easier to experience loneliness. Isn’t that right?

I recently read an opinion about net novels ( ). It says:

He/She can evolve from a (novice) to an (experienced reader), moving from disliking certain types of net novels to appreciating quality, eventually experiencing the frustration of (reading deadlock due to poor quality or relevance). But still, they might occasionally discover rare gems in vast seas of mediocrity. However, most net novels are not worth reading, and one could waste countless hours on them before discovering a few decent ones. The habit or obsession with reading for pleasure is the worst vice here because it may have eroded enjoyment but keeps you from stopping.

For the mind of a common person, the best way to provoke others into speaking is through mental leakage. First, find topics that interest them; second, use your own mental leakage as an introduction. Both are necessary. Last night, after moving things, I felt extremely tired during the day, but in the evening, my fatigue seemed to lift. Notice and fatigue are intertwinedthey often lead to each other.

Today, while learning Obsidian ( Obsidian is a free knowledge management tool), I realized that I had forgotten most of what I once knew about it. It’s just a learning curve, so let me use it when needed and discard it later.

Anyway, don’t get too deep into this; just keep it handy if you need it.

Controlling a group of fear and desire over people controls the group itself, not them.

When idle time comes, I should study (critical theory). Use theory to arm myself! I often see posts that pump anxiety before choosing a course of action. If I reject this game now, are there other paths available? I can choose them later.

Gender and nationality aren’t fundamentally differentthey’re both inherited from birth and influenced by cultural environments. Their precedence depends on context.

Cognitive poisoning is like… after approaching an art from a critical perspective, you lose the ability to grasp details. Even the original passion for learning fades away. What’s fun is only accessible when you delve deeply.

When planning something, even if it’s not very specific, I always feel happy. Out of curiosity, why don’t I make this more interesting? Just make a plan and keep it in mindI can do anything. But what about the details?

The appreciation for beauty in ordinary people is instinctive but must be overcome because it’s easier to spot something beautiful than garbage.

Life is a balance between normal and abnormal things. It’s not just balancing; it’s about maintaining equilibrium, which isn’t easy at all.

I keep a separate diary when I catastrophize or struggle with anxiety, writing whatever comes to mind. Then I revisit those entries later and take notes. Over time, I’ve discovered many triggers. Realizing that nothing actually happened after my catastrophizing helped me cope.

When I feel tired, I try to do something else instead of sitting around thinking. Maybe that’s how I can stay alert.

When moving things, I often think of the future. It feels like everything is about to happen in a flash. But when you realize it’s already happened, time doesn’t move forward anymore.

Time passes without stopping because were all here and will be gone eventually. The work we do and the writing we do are limited by human capacity.

Theres something about feeling secure that most people cant understand. Some think it’s their destination, others believe it’s a path they must take to achieve happiness.

I’ve noticed that some things people say are shocking when you consider how much they resemble advice from years ago.

The more I learn, the less I know. Thats life for you.

It’s easy to lose focus in daily life because of past experiences and emotions. We can’t control everything we’ll encounter or how it will affect us. No matter what happens, we might as well just enjoy the ride.

Sometimes, I think about how my life has changed since I started writing. It’s amazing how much I’ve grown emotionally and intellectually.

My biggest challenge is balancing work and study, especially when time management isn’t effective.

It feels like a trap if you dont realize its being played on you. Even those who aren’t in control can feel the weight of others’ expectations. You might be too tired to do anything about it now, but maybe there’s hope later.

If you’re not interested in this game, are there other paths? Maybe I should change direction before things get out of hand.
