Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Although Wall doesn't really believe that Kevin's article can reverse the number of votes, he can only try at this time. (Baidu search gives you the fastest and most stable update on Geili Wenxue.com) After all, when the voting is not over, any opportunity may exist.

What Kevin thought of at this time was "On Envy" by the famous British essayist Francis Bacon.

Francis Bacon was a British philosopher and scientist. He tried his best to advocate that "reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people smart, calculation makes people precise, philosophy makes people profound, theory makes people cultivated, and logic rhetoric makes people eloquent.

This thinker who pursued the 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", "Discussion Essays" and so on. The latter includes 58 essays, discussing a wide range of life issues from various angles, exquisite and philosophical, and has many readers all over the world.

This article "On Jealousy" is a classic in the anthology. Since the publication of this article, it has received praise from all walks of life in various countries. And some countries have included it in Chinese textbooks.

Francis Bacon boldly expounded his views on jealousy in the article. He begins by saying:

Among the various desires of human beings, there are two that confuse people's minds most, which are love and jealousy. Both passions excite powerful passions, create unreal images, and are capable of bewitching the mind—if there is such a thing as witches.

Therefore, we know that "jealousy" is called a "evil eye" in the "Bible", and astrologers call it a "bad star". That is to say, jealousy can project danger and disaster where its eyes are fixed. Not only the above, but some people think that when the poisonous eyes of jealousy hurt people the most, it is the time when the person who is envied is the happiest. This is partly due to the fact that the situation sharpens the jealousy; partly because of the situation. The envied are the most vulnerable.

In addition to explaining the psychology and harm of "jealousy", Francis Bacon also mentioned in the article who is easy to be jealous and who is easy to attract jealousy. Or what kind of jealousy must be public jealousy. There is also the difference between public jealousy and private jealousy.

For example, Francis Bacon believed that the immoral would be jealous of the virtuous. Because if the human mind cannot get nourishment from its own advantages, it must find other people's shortcomings as nourishment.

And jealous people often have neither advantages. He can't see the good points of others, so he can only comfort himself by ruining the happiness of others. When a person lacks a certain virtue in himself, he must belittle this virtue in others in order to achieve a balance between the two.

As for who are likely to attract envy, Francis Bacon believes that: a rising star is enviable,

Especially to be envied by those nobles and elders, because the distance between them has changed. The elevation of others is enough to create an illusion that one feels as if one is being lowered.

It is also because of Francis Bacon's unique insights and comprehensive analysis of "jealousy". What led to this article becoming a century-old classic.

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

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

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

When he finished reading "On Jealousy", he still sighed with that familiar sentence: "Kevin really deserves to be a literary genius."

This is the first time that Wall has seen such a thorough analysis of people's "jealousy" in an article, especially when the author is a student in his twenties. He has been deeply impressed by this article and the person who wrote it.

"Perhaps this article can really increase Kevin's votes."

See such wonderful comprehensive prose. Wall also had the same idea as Kevin.

Seeing that he had far surpassed Kevin in the number of votes, Barra was relieved a lot. And at this time, he already deeply believed that the gold medal writer this time was none other than him.

So, he couldn't help fantasizing in his mind. When "Times" announced the news of him as a gold medal writer, the British media newspapers will definitely report a lot, and their headlines may be "The King of Comedy Turns into a Gold Medal Writer" and the like.

Thinking of the people's amazement at his comprehensive talent at that time, Barra was secretly happy.

"It seems right to spend some money. Huh! Kevin, you are still a little tender."

Therefore, Barra does not intend to put too much thought on the matter of the gold medal writer for a while, but continues his comedy performance.

Two days later, this issue of "Times Weekly" was published normally, and those who subscribed to this newspaper were still the same as usual. After getting the newspaper, I read it carefully.

Ever since Kevin started writing a column for Time Magazine, it has become a habit for many people. That is to read Kevin's story column first, and then slowly read news or articles in other forums.

"After "Ode to a Nightingale" is serialized, what kind of articles will Kevin write?"

When they opened Kevin's column with curiosity, and then saw this article "On Jealousy", they read it seriously. Since there are not many words, almost everyone who is reading this prose has almost finished reading it in less than 20 minutes.

"It's really good. Kevin has such a deep understanding of the psychology of human nature at such a young age, and his writing is so comprehensive."

"Dear Kevin, tell me, are you a psychologist? Feels like only a psychologist writes about 'jealousy.'"

"Kevin is really great. His essay is enough to win the title of gold medal writer. Anyway, my vote will definitely be for him."

"I have read many articles about 'jealousy', but their ideas are too traditional, and the analysis is not comprehensive enough. This article by Kevin is the best one I think. Kevin, Come on. We'll all have your back."

"On Jealousy is really well written, and I have always liked Kevin's articles. My vote has not been cast yet, maybe I should give it to him. Otherwise, God will not forgive me."

After reading the entire prose, these people, like Wall, have to be surprised by Kevin's thorough understanding of human psychology. At the same time, those who are still hesitating which writer to vote for also decided to vote for Kevin at this time. (to be continued)
