Why do literati always think highly of themselves?

Scholars are characterized by strong self-esteem, bohemian, lack of discipline, love to complain by satirizing the past, and disdain to do great things if they can't do small things. The phrase "summer insects can't talk ice" often heard in Zhihu has also become a shield for many people who think highly of themselves, despise others and flaunt themselves by the way. But these are ordinary literati.

To some extent, ordinary literati feel that their three views are superior to ordinary people. If they have different views, they can't have in-depth conversations, and they can't understand other people's hearts through in-depth conversations. In their view, other people's words and sentences are full of vulgar and broken logic, so they choose to despise them.

However, if these scholars read the history of eugenics during the Nazi period, social Darwinism and the history of eugenics during the Great Religious Awakening, they will find that this self-righteous superiority is no different from racial discrimination.

With the increase of reading, you may have some prejudice against the world. I advise you to continue reading. When you read to a certain extent, you will find yourself very small. Seeds need to fall to the ground and humble into the soil before they can take root and sprout.

A truly knowledgeable person will return to the truth in the eyes of others. Because he has gone through all the above courses, he clearly knows his relationship with the world and can get along with it gently. In the face of dignitaries, down to ordinary people, he can be humble and peaceful.

You hit a three-pointer in front of Curry and missed it.

Curry won't laugh at you for not shooting, he will only tell you what's wrong with your posture.

Knowledge will not make people complacent, only fame and fortune will. Therefore, most of those literati who think highly of themselves are at the stage of scratching their heads and stepping on the ground.
