Chapter 177

Although wall doesn't believe that Kevin's article can reverse the number of votes, he can only try at this time. After all, any chance can exist before the voting is over.

Kevin thought of the famous British essayist Francis Bacon's on jealousy.

Francis Bacon is an English philosopher and scientist. He strongly advocated that "reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people intelligent, calculus makes people precise, philosophy makes people profound, philosophy makes people cultivated, logic and rhetoric make people eloquent.".

This thinker, who pursued truth all his life, was called "the real ancestor of British materialism and the whole modern experimental science" by Marx. He also put forward many ideas in logic, aesthetics and pedagogy. He is the author of new tools and essays of Lun Shuo, etc. The latter contains 58 essays and discusses a wide range of life problems from various angles. It is exquisite and philosophical, and has many readers all over the world.

This article "on Jealousy" is a classic work in the anthology. Since its publication, it has received praise from all walks of life in various countries. And some countries have also included it in the Chinese teaching books.

Francis Bacon boldly expounds his views on jealousy in his article. He said at the beginning:

Among all kinds of human desires, there are two kinds of the most perplexing minds, which are love and jealousy. These two emotions can stimulate strong emotions, create illusory images, and bewitch people's hearts - if there is such a thing as witchcraft.

Therefore, we know that in the Bible, "jealousy" is called a "fierce eye", and astrologers call it a "disaster star". That is to say, jealousy can project danger and disaster to the place that its eyes focus on. Not only the above, but also some people think that when the poisonous eye of jealousy hurts people the most, it is the time when the envied people are most proud. On the one hand, this kind of situation makes jealousy more sharp; On the other hand, in this case, the envied are the most vulnerable.

In addition to explaining the psychology and harm of "jealousy", Francis Bacon also tells us which people are easy to be jealous, which people are easy to be jealous, or which kind of jealousy must be public jealousy. And what's the difference between public jealousy and private jealousy.

Francis Bacon, for example, believes that a man without virtue will envy a man with morality. Because if one's mind can't get nourishment from one's own advantages, it must find other people's disadvantages as nourishment.

And the envious person often has neither his own advantages nor the advantages of others, so he can only comfort himself by spoiling the happiness of others. When a person lacks a certain virtue, he must belittle the virtue of others, in order to achieve the balance between the two.

As for who is easy to be envied, Francis Bacon thinks that a rising star is enviable, especially those noble elders, because the distance between them has changed. The rise of others is enough to create the illusion that one feels as if he has been lowered.

It is also because of Francis Bacon's unique view and comprehensive analysis of "jealousy" that this article has become a century classic.

Therefore, Kevin has reason to believe that such a wonderful prose published in this parallel world is naturally well received.

So, Kevin began to use the literary memory in his mind, and then quickly knocked it into the computer file, and then carefully checked it again before sending it to wall.

Wall knew that this issue of time would be published the day after tomorrow, so after receiving Kevin's contribution, he immediately reviewed it.

When he read the whole article on jealousy, he was still familiar with the exclamation: "Kevin really deserves to be a literary genius."

This is wall. "Maybe this article will make Kevin get more votes."

Seeing such wonderful and comprehensive prose, wall has the same idea as Kevin.

Barra was relieved to see that her number of votes had far exceeded Kevin's. And at this time, he also deeply thought that he was the gold medal writer.

As a result, he can't help imagining in his mind that when time magazine publishes the news about him as a gold medal writer, the British media and newspapers will certainly report a lot, and then their headlines may be "king of comedy turned into a gold medal writer" and so on.

Barra was pleased to think of the wonder of his overall talent at that time.

"It seems right to spend some money. Hum! Kevin, you're still a little tender. "

Therefore, Bala is not going to focus too much on the gold medal writer, but continue his comedy performance.

Two days later, this issue of time magazine will be published normally. Those who subscribe to the newspaper will read it carefully as usual.

Since Kevin began to write a column in time magazine, many people have formed the habit of reading Kevin's story column first, and then slowly reading the news or articles in other sections.

"What kind of articles will Kevin write after" Ode to the Nightingale "is serialized?"

When they opened Kevin's column with curiosity and saw the article on jealousy, they really read it. Because there are not many words, almost all the people who are reading this essay have finished in less than 20 minutes.

"It's good that Kevin has such a deep understanding of the psychology of human nature at such a young age, and he writes so comprehensively."

"Dear Kevin, tell me, are you a psychologist? It feels like only psychologists can write about jealousy. "

"Kevin is wonderful. His essay is enough to win the title of gold medal writer. Anyway, I will vote for him. "

"I have read many articles about jealousy, but their ideas are too traditional and their analysis is not comprehensive enough. Kevin's article is the best I think. Kevin, come on. We will all support you. "

"On jealousy is really good. I always like Kevin's articles. I haven't voted yet. Maybe I should give it to him. Or God won't forgive me. "

After reading the whole essay, these people, like wall, have to be surprised at Kevin's thorough understanding of human psychology. At the same time, those who are still hesitating about which writer to vote for also decide to vote for Kevin.
