I saw a paragraph on Weibo, the source has not been found
According to my observation, many bloggers on Weibo are gradually entering a state of silence, that is, the frequency of blogging is getting lower and lower. I posted several posts a day before, but only one post is only posted a few days ago. Think, this large-scale downward spiral of silence is because more and more people find that they actually live in a “magic” world.
In this magical world, many things are attached to a layer of invisible power on top of the physical body. As long as the corresponding spell is chanted, this power can be summoned for one’s own use.
For example, there is a question on Zhihu, “Why are you becoming more and more silent?” A netizen Seasee Youl’s answer received 248,000 approvals. In the article, he wrote a few of his own experiences, One is that in a children’s playground in a shopping mall, an uncle angrily scolded the young waiter, calling him a traitor and unworthy of being a Chinese, and even called the park to seal the park, because the British flag wallpaper was pasted around the ocean ball pool in the park (the uncle also admitted that he was wrong. When the answerer saw that the people around him were booing and agreeing, and the waiter was crying because of grievance, he stepped forward to dissuade him. The master only learned from the waiter that the uncle originally wanted his children to play for free, but after being rejected by the waiter, the counter-offer failed.
This is what I call magic, as long as you utter some specific “spells”, you can summon the invisible power above a few wallpapers, suppress and hurt others, and force others to surrender.
Similar things, I have heard people around me say that when I was a child, my family lived in a large courtyard building, and there were two neighbors in a tense relationship. The two families had a quarrel over the pile of debris in the corridor, and they started to go online. One of the uncles pointed to the thigh of the young man opposite and said, “What do you think you are wearing?! Jeans are Things of the Western bourgeois state! You are so selfish because your thoughts have been corrupted by Western individualism!” Not to be outdone, the young man immediately replied, “Jeans were the trousers worn by the gold diggers in the West, and they were the clothing of the working class! You are right! Dissatisfaction with the clothing of the working class is dissatisfaction with the working class! It is dissatisfaction with the country led by the working class!” The two sides became more and more agitated, blushing and thickly denounced each other’s “crimes”. After the dissuasion, the two families never communicated with each other again. As for the problem itself, it was naturally not resolved.
When my aunt recounted this incident, she originally regarded it as a ridiculous joke, but when I think back now, there are clearly two wizards facing each other, and they are babbling at the same time, just to summon from a pair of jeans. The thunder and fire extinguished the opponent.
I think this is the reason why people are gradually silent. Now when you say a sentence, you need to consider not only the sentence itself, but also all the possible interpretation angles of the sentence, as well as the “implications” that the author himself never thought of. ”, once a certain sentence inadvertently is cursed, and the invisible force above the literal is summoned, it will be necessary to deal with it.
The higher the risk and cost of expression, the more silent people become.
In fact, if you allow this infinite interpretation of the spell to flow in your life, then everyone will live in fear, don’t imagine that you are the master of this power, after all, there are thousands of spells, and there are always a few sentences that apply. to you.As the old saying goes, “Whoever plays with the sword will die by the sword”, in fact, the same is true for those who play magic.
I happened to see a foreign example recently. Red Bull F1’s youth driver Vips was canceled because he scolded the N-word while playing the game live.
