In recent years, along with the scarcity of growth brought about by the downturn, the intensity of competition in various fields such as college entrance, employment, work and promotion has been rising.
With the fierce competition at the objective level, the public opinion also has feedback, which ignites the word “internal volume”.
The best explanation of the inner volume is excessive struggle and competition.
For example, each person in Hebei University Entrance Examination will try to get 100 points more, and there will be no more places to go to a good university. For another example, if you and your colleagues work hard for 2 hours every day, there will be no more promotions.
There are only a few lines of words, but it is the pain and blood tears of countless people.
In fact, the behaviors of striving and actively participating in the competition contained in the inner volume have always existed. Even in the past when the number of increments has exploded, people still have to struggle and compete to get better resources and opportunities.
In the past, people had a positive attitude towards such competition. People will take the initiative to participate in all kinds of competition, and firmly believe that “struggle changes destiny”, “hard work will yield”.
However, people’s attitudes seem to have changed, and Buddhism and lying flat, which are incompatible with the past, are gradually becoming mainstream.
Moreover, the scope of lying flat not only includes career level study and work fishing, but also includes life level low desire for love, marriage and even sex.
In a word, compared with the past, the proportion of young people who prefer Buddhism and lie flat has reached an unprecedented height, which is an unprecedented scene in the upward phase.
Why is that?
Some people say that because of urbanization,
Some people say that because of the high housing prices,
Some people say that because of the development of science and technology, entertainment means have increased,
Some people say that because the increment decreases, the degree of competition increases.
To be honest, these are one of the reasons, but they are not the core reasons. The core answer is simple: fairness.
As I have always said, with the decline of growth rate, the problems covered by high-speed development in the past are gradually exposed.
These problems include not only group and intergenerational inequality at the economic level, but also various unhealthy tendencies at the governance level.
For example, on the economic level, the dividends formed by the past high-speed development are mainly condensed in the real estate. And the people who have mastered these bonuses are certainly not the ones who are now involved.
On the contrary, these bonuses need to be maintained, but they need to rely on the subsequent double order takers.
The forefathers enjoy happiness and the descendants pay for it.
Therefore, the young people who enter the society today are just a place to live, and what they encounter is a mountain of development costs, but the development dividend has nothing to do with them.
Needless to say, some unhealthy tendencies at the governance level will not allow those who work hard to get positive feedback.
In the face of these, people will naturally be angry.
But I remind you that anger is graded. The direct confrontation and tit for tat in people’s impression are all positive resentment, which costs too much and rarely happens.
The most common form of resentment is negative, and the specific form is non cooperation and lying flat.
We often hear that the citizens of some African and South American countries like to play goof. This is not because they are backward in culture or have inferior genes, but because of the isolation of colonial forces, local landlords and warlords, which makes the local rising space extremely narrow. No amount of effort can change the original destiny of ordinary people.
Since the struggle is also futile, it is better to lie down.
For this kind of behavior, there are two general countermeasures: improving incentives and negative punishment.
However, the latter method can not cure the root cause, but will lead to a downward spiral.
Although the negative punishment of lying flat will enable people to cooperate in the form of action in the short term, in the long run, this behavior will increase people’s internal resistance, thus making the phenomenon of lying flat more serious.
The final result is that there is a high probability of falling into the spiral of lying flat punishment more lying flat punishment with greater intensity.
There is no lion under the whip.
As for the permanent solution, the readers must have expected that it is to reform the distribution model, achieve fairness and justice, and make people’s struggle have a real sense of gain and happiness.
After all, it is an objective law that no profit, no early rise. Struggle can bring real gold and silver that is practical and fair, and people will strive hard from the heart.
Negative suppression and verbal rhetoric cannot solve the fundamental problems.
Deepening reform will never end.
