Recently, I keep hearing a word—confusion.
Friends around me and voices online are almost all saying: 'I feel so lost.'
But today, I want to talk to you about something different: confusion is actually the norm of life. It is the moment of clarity that is unexpected. Just look at those who once shone brightly; who didn’t envy them when they were full of ambition? But a few I know now can hardly live without alcohol.
They say it's about relieving stress, but behind the pressure is still confusion. Confusion about the company's future, confusion about one's own destiny. Life and death are minor matters; what’s most feared is the feeling of being worse than dead. Just look at the investment circle and the cryptocurrency circle—those familiar names—CZc-17, Sun Ge, Ben; who doesn’t have a head full of lawsuits? Who can confidently say they know where the end point is? Even wealthy people feel this way, and confusion really has nothing to do with money. Money can solve many problems, but it cannot cure confusion.
And those enviable project teams and market makers, who isn’t risking it all? Today you may beat others, but who can guarantee they won’t be beaten tomorrow?
As for KOLs and small bloggers, they seem glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, their anxiety and confusion are no less than that of retail investors, and perhaps even more. So, confusion has never been the problem. The real problem is that we always have an unrealistic fantasy: we think we should be able to see clearly and understand everything, then march forward unwaveringly.
But the reality is, this 'clarity' state is a rare species. We always feel that confusion is a bug, a 'problem' that needs to be solved.
But in fact, the very idea that feeling confused is a problem is the biggest problem. Confusion is not the enemy; it’s more like the default background music of your life, occasionally reminding you: hey, you’re a person, not a machine programmed to operate without deviation.
Accept confusion; it’s not as frightening as you think.
Just like cloudy days are the norm for weather, sunny days are just occasional visits.
Confusion is the background color of your life; it is only the moment of clarity that is an unexpected surprise.
