Idiom story

For the excessive competition that has harmed people's way of life, it is reasonable to take a pot of cold water and appeal to the designers and operators of social management: to have more awareness of harmonious coexistence, to restrain the "competition tools" of procuratorial departments, and to minimize the flooding measures of artificially stimulating excessive competition in the social life of social members, such as industry choice and level mobility.

Since the reform and opening up, "introducing competition mechanism" has become a consensus management wisdom in all walks of life. For a long time, through competition to enhance the efficiency of development, enhance social vitality, break the big pot, egalitarian lifelessness, contribution can not be denied. But today, when we look back, we will find that the whole Chinese society and all walks of life are in a state of blind, fierce and cruel excessive competition. From officialdom to academia, from medical care to education, it can be said that there are all kinds of people, which has caused the reduction of the general sense of happiness and the frequent anxiety of the people. On July 1, the article "preventing excessive competition from leading to social conflict" issued by Zhongqing newspaper reminds us that if all social fields are always in the state of excessive competition and do not be alert and adjust in time, the future social structure will be very dangerous.

This is not only an important judgment, but also an accurate insight into the current social focus contradiction. The society is moving forward, but the Chinese people on the train generally have a kind of "social weightlessness" -- the spirit is not relaxed, the state is not calm, anxious and weak, and the people are uneasy. It seems that there is always a force in front of them, dragging their heavy bodies from one mountain to another, which makes people feel powerless and unable to move forward. Even the strong and the "winners" who stand out in the fierce competition are physically and mentally exhausted, not to mention the weak and the "losers" who are defeated in the competition. At one time, we thought that this was a natural by-product of social progress, even called "social Darwinism". But when all kinds of good pursuits tend to turn to the opposite side of evil, the conflicts between people and between people and society accumulate, and too many people complain about the sense of servitude, deprivation and loss of autonomy, it's time to calm down and reflect seriously Wait - what's the matter? What can we get in the end if we fight like this?

From kindergarten scores, ordinary key points of primary and secondary school credits, to university scores of 211 and 985, the tight education competition has created a boring examination chain, academic garbage without innovation, and a tragic life in which hundreds of millions of people are unable to extricate themselves; from local GDP competition, face competition for political achievements, to fierce battle at the official level, it has created a waste of resources, environmental pollution, and huge internal consumption in the system Intelligence of officials. If you want to fight for points in school, you will fall on the starting line if you don't fight. When you are an adult, you need to fight for financial resources, power and relationship. Only by grasping one or more items can you find a sense of dignity and security in society Immersion for a long time, we take it for granted, so that we forget to think from another angle: why there are so many competitive games, all competition is necessary, why can't there be more rules of coexistence between calm and ordinary mind?

The healthy running of a society depends not only on the forward driving force of always striving for the first, but also on the balance of body and mind, the balance and coordination of not falling and wrestling. Even according to the engineering principle, the system of absolute competition will eventually collapse, unless the necessary "coordination" factor is injected. What's more, people are social animals. People are born to pursue happiness, not competition. From the perspective of real humanism, the needs of most people are the safety and reliability of clothing, food, housing and transportation, the stable expectation of raising children and providing for the aged, the relaxed sense of certainty and happiness, the moderate and fair competition is acceptable, and the bayonet competition at the expense of happiness is unacceptable. In view of the fact that competition has gone against the trend of extremes and has been overcorrected, for the excessive competition that has harmed people's way of life, it is reasonable to take a pot of cold water and appeal to the designers and operators of social management: more awareness of harmonious coexistence, restraint of inspection of "competition tools", and try our best to improve the quality of social life such as the industry choice and class mobility of social members We should reduce the excessive measures of artificially stimulating excessive competition. Through the coordination of social stakeholders and slow symbiosis, to promote a stable and safe social life; rather than by strengthening the conflict and intensifying competition, to toss the small days of the ordinary people.

What is puzzling is that the designers of social management who are expected to change the pattern of excessive competition are likely to be the "vested interests" of this kind of excessive competition, so that there is a serious lack of motivation for self-examination. Why is there so much competition in this society? On the surface, it is because of the large number of Chinese people and limited social resources, which can only be obtained by natural selection; on the bottom, the strengthening of the competition mechanism itself is good for the management of the organization - everyone has to fight, work hard only when they are not comfortable, and listen only when they keep fighting. The management can strengthen their authority and enhance the gold content of their power. For example, if the schools are graded, the schools will compete with each other, and the approval and evaluation power in the hands of the education authorities will not be great? Once tasted this kind of sweetness, the dissimilated "competition mechanism" is unavoidably promoted positively, which has a strong flooding power.

Human beings can't pull their hair away from the earth, but we must be aware of the problems. First of all, we should arouse more consciousness and more belief in harmonious coexistence through appeals and shouts. We should not add a handful of firewood and pour a spoonful of oil in the hot pot of excessive competition. We should analyze the tangled reality to help us out of the excessive competition The wrong track of competition streaking is to create more possibilities. After all, unrestrained "competition" can no longer simply spread to all walks of life as the only way to straighten out contradictions and coordinate relations, because we can't tolerate the danger of social vanity, intensified conflicts and even partial collapse under the surface vitality and efficiency. Dangerous words are harsh to the ear, but never alarmist, because to solve them is also the necessary meaning of social harmony, scientific development and deepening reform.
