The five senses need to be cleansed to avoid pollution. Nowadays, social pollution spreads in all aspects, such as air, water, light, and noise. These pollutions basically cover the five senses of the people. There is also another aspect, information pollution. Open the news app on your mobile phone and read various headlines that make people uncomfortable. This is psychological pollution, pollution of the sixth sense.
I have rarely read news since a few years ago, and I have long understood that most of today’s news content is produced for the purpose of traffic economy, eye stimulation, full of exaggeration, untruth, deliberate creation of contrast, inciting emotions, in a word, all caused by money.
Humans are born with the ability to resist external pollution. However, in today's society, the power of humans to change and destroy nature is much greater than that of ancient people. The degree of pollution is far greater than before. Human resistance to pollution is not as fast as human technology and economic development. Therefore, if it is impossible to train ourselves to become invulnerable to all poisons, what we can do should be to avoid and stay away. This is the most powerful resistance.
The facial features of ancient people should be easier to use and more sensitive than those of modern people. The evolution of the brain of ancient people is no worse than that of modern people. The ancient people mentioned here are within a few thousand years. Compared with the millions of years of human evolution, the evolutionary gap between the brains of ancient people and modern people within a few thousand years is negligible. Therefore, there is reason to believe that apart from being inferior to modern people in economy and technology, the ancients were superior to modern people in other fields. This is determined by the sensitivity of the five senses, which means that they have high consciousness.
The development of society is multi-faceted. While the economy and science and technology are developing rapidly, the fields of culture, art, humanities, natural consciousness, life thinking, etc. are regressing, or declining, and no new forces are entering. Everything has two sides, and the same is true for the development of science and technology. One side advances and the other side retreats, which is also a kind of conservation.
