He is very talkative. Ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, human history, omniscient. I often say that he is both civil and military ... he can talk about war by talking about military skills, and he can output words into chapters.
His evaluation of me is only five words: go with the flow. He said that I have been in this environment for many years and have not caught any bad habits. In his view, this is very rare.
His comments began when I said "I can't play mahjong". Indeed, I said I couldn't play mahjong, and no one around me believed me.
We have mahjong machine for entertainment in our store ... and in the store next door, and in every household. At night or on weekends and holidays, those workers who have nowhere to entertain themselves will choose to rub a small card to pass the time.
Middle-aged and elderly people in their fifties and sixties, young people in their twenties, men and women, old and young, married and single, all like playing mahjong, which is one of the few leisure ways after boring work.
Even Kyle, who often pulls people away to be rubbed by others, is addicted to it. If he is only missing a corner kick, then he is popular and can naturally play the whole game.
And I really can't play.
The main reason is that I don't want to learn to play. I think it's a waste of time, including knitting and needlework. I don't know and I don't want to learn.
After a busy day, when I was reading a book or writing something, people within five meters of me were brushing Tik Tok, following dramas with their mobile phones, video chatting and playing games ... all of them used my WiFi to surf the Internet, and they were all loud and no one was watching.
There are many vulgar people around me. They always call people idiots, stupid idiots and little turtles. They call your mother, your sister and your uncle at will! Men say dirty jokes, and women laugh unscrupulously.
I can't learn these either.
We all make a living in the same place and deal with each other every day. This is the same stream. But I don't agree with their leisure style and speaking habits, and I'm not influenced by them. This is called different "pollution".
This is probably what Mr. Zheng Lao meant by colluding with others.
People, as long as they don't commit heinous crimes, murder and arson, all live by their own labor, and they don't betray their country for glory and commit crimes. What does it matter if they are vulgar? Because they have different education, different growth experiences and different living environments, it is impossible for all of them to be gentle and eloquent.
People who are close to the ink will turn black because they are not firm enough and stand on shaky ground. Otherwise, how can you get rid of the mud when you look at the lotus?
Confucius said: gentlemen are harmonious but different, while villains are the same but not harmonious.
A gentleman can maintain a harmonious atmosphere with his surroundings, but he holds his own independent views on everything, instead of blindly agreeing with others; Little people have no opinions of their own. Although they are always consistent with others, they don't really care about real harmony.
