Life is like a chair
Thoreau said these words: There are three stools in my house, one for sitting alone, two for making friends and three for socializing.
"People only have one and a half friends", one is sincere, and the other half can sacrifice their own interests for their friends. So you only need two stools to make friends, one for friends and one for yourself. Socialization requires three chairs, one for sitting by yourself, one for increasing knowledge and one for having a heart-to-heart talk. If there are other chairs, it will be redundant. There are four, and I want to gather together a mahjong table or a card table; If there are five, one of them must be the seat where "Ming" sits, and "Li" swaggered in, stepped in, sat down and crossed his legs like no one's watching. For Thoreau, who lived a pure inner life, this was unbearable. He is an atom separated from the social structure, and five chairs will bring him back to his original state of life. Three chairs-Thoreau's needs, as simple as that.
interestingly, I looked through history and saw a simple dining table and two simple chairs in Madame Curie's living room. Curie's father once offered them a set of luxurious furniture, but they refused. The reason is simple: with sofas and soft chairs, people need to clean them. It's a pity to spend time on this. They didn't add a third chair in order not to let the chatting guests sit down.
Madame Curie said, "In my life, I always pursue quiet work and simple family life." Two chairs, so that they have a career partner; There are no extra chairs, which keeps them away from the intrusion of personnel and the rendering of fame, and finally climbs the peak of science and reads another magnificent life landscape.
Thoreau is pure and Madame Curie is noble, and the quality of life is beyond the reach of ordinary people. None of them have any extra chairs.
Indifferent to the bright will, peaceful to the far. In life, we should learn to simplify, for example, to lose extra chairs and not let "things outside" have a chance to sit down. Chairs are based on comfort. If they are too luxurious, they will become a kind of decoration. As a result, instead of people sitting in chairs, chairs will become a burden in your life.
Life is like a chair. If you cut out the complexity, it will be simple, concise, concise and rich. Sitting on vulgarity and meanness, you can't sit on greatness and sublimity; Sitting on hypocrisy and violence, innocence and kindness are nowhere to be found; Sitting on selfishness and coldness, love and enthusiasm can't be accommodated ...............................................................................................................................................................
Tagore said that you can't fly high with heavy money under your wings. Similarly, with extra chairs, not only can you not fly, but even the fun of meditation disappears.
Sometimes our life is so simple that we just need a chair to sit on.

2. A: "Extra chair" refers to an easy life and worldly fame and fortune.
3. A: Thoreau's pure expression is that he likes simple life and hates fame and fortune. Madame Curie's noble performance is "away from the intrusion of personnel and the rendering of fame, and finally climbed to the peak of science."
4. Open questions. Example 1. Agreed. We middle school students have lofty ideals. To realize our ideals, we must concentrate on our studies. If we prematurely consider things other than fame and fortune, with these "extra chairs", the potential ratio is just like Tagore's saying, "it can't fly high." Therefore, as a middle school student, we should also get rid of the "extra chairs".
example 2: disagree. There is nothing wrong with people's pursuit of legitimate fame and interests. If they are satisfied with the status quo and have nothing to pursue, they will lose their motivation to move forward. Therefore, various "chairs" in life can inspire people to constantly pursue a higher quality of life.
