This title is somewhat related to my enjoyment of watching traffic accident highlights.
When collisions happen, anger flares, and big moves are made at the right time, not during the scorching noon of summer (though some are unafraid of the sun and trouble), or at 2 or 3 AM, there might be quite a few onlookers.
Traffic accident highlights, although they have a tragic core, can also be genuinely amusing.
The humorous core is also a tragedy; completely pleasant words can make people feel ulterior motives.
Kongming scolded Wang Lang, Mi Heng insulted Cao Cao while naked, Zhuge Liang debated with various scholars, forming alliances and countering them. Gongsun Yan, Zhang Yi, Su Qin, and others lobbied various states. Socrates debated with people in the streets and alleys. Jiang Zemin angrily rebuked reporters for their naive assumptions.
Luo Yonghao, Ning Caishen, and many others are experts in stirring up debates on platforms like Niubog and Tianya; what they say is not important. What matters is that someone is watching.
The later "Qi Pa Shuo" (a debate show) was also greatly inspired, blending debate and entertainment together.
This is also related to social interactions deepening over time.
When meeting for the first time, everyone is polite and unaware of each other's backgrounds.
If life were like the first meeting, most would treat each other with respect.
As understanding deepens and more details are known, politeness diminishes. This might relate to the hedgehog theory, where mutual warmth leads to closeness, but getting too close can result in being pricked.
Many generals and soldiers share joys and sorrows, like Zhu De, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Guang.
Now, in some countries, higher-ranking officials cannot even bathe with soldiers. This enhances the sense of respect.
As long as one speaks or writes, there is generally a viewpoint or stance, except for meaningless literature.
No matter how meticulous the thinking or how smooth the emotional intelligence, there will always be oversights; this is also the tricky part of literary persecution and taking things out of context.
The same sentence can have different meanings based on how it is broken down, like this one: "On a rainy day, if guests stay, I won't." And so on.
The same event can be viewed differently from different stances, angles, and times; differences often outweigh similarities. "Harmony in diversity" is the best interpretation. All are uninformed masses. Why is there a consensus? It's about seeking truth from facts, then politics, education, interests, and violent institutions come into play.
Seeking truth from facts is easy to say; it involves checking data and conducting experiments to provide evidence, even though some data may be inaccurate.
The following points are related to rulers or vested interests, which are difficult to discuss, such as the incident of the Sino-Japanese War in Japanese history textbooks, the weakening of the Kuomintang's role in domestic narratives, and other matters I am unaware of.
Of course, there are also many trivial matters, like saying the sun is square or pointing at a deer and calling it a horse; there are no political interests involved, and no one cares, so you can say whatever you want. In discussions with you, either someone wants to correct you or test your mental or intellectual normalcy.
Mutual rebukes are a good source of creativity; recently, some have said that working is like stealing knowledge. Why not do it?
Some people work for a few years and then establish their own businesses, often becoming competitors with their former companies (though some become more specialized collaborative organizations), directly confronting each other.
Mutual improvement in quality and service levels is a positive development; however, if the degree of bribery and other malicious means increases while quality and service levels decrease, it leads to deterioration, which is also possible. The marketplace is like a battlefield; the art of war is deceit.
The above is my recent observation: mutual rebukes, which seem contradictory, indeed spur further creation.
Reflection: A blog that cannot be commented on is either an official document, a timeless masterpiece, a pretense of having no time, social anxiety, or a broadcast sent out by Earthlings. Not responding to comments follows the same logic.
The next piece may be the creation that I am inspired to produce.
