今天读完了chapter14 An inferiority complex is an excuse. 这一章节可以分为两个地方去理解。
①哲学家解决青年的问题
社会公认成功的人/积累大量财富的人/拥有别人羡慕美貌的人/奥林金牌拥有者的人……他们也会为自卑感所困惑 How should I think about this?
哲学家是这样说的:People enter this world as helpless beings. And people have the universal desire(普遍的欲望) to escape from that helpless state. 我们称它为Pursuit of superiority. (追求优越)
And all the advancements of science throughout human history are due to this Pursuit of superiority. (贯穿人类历史所有的科学进步都是因为追求优越)
每个人都有这样一个状态 Hoping to improve or pursuing an ideal state. 那这种自卑感其实是一种踏脚石。以我为例,我总感觉自己不够好,我要把我的能力再提高一个水平,这其实也是一种自卑感,The feeling of inferiority can be a trigger(触发器) for striving(努力.奋斗) and growth.
②区分Feeling of inferiority and inferiority complex. …………
实用部分That's not an excuse at all,It's just a cold hard fact. (冷酷的事实)
