沉思,是指对某一事物或意向进行认真、深入的思考。 大部分人潜意识里认为动脑子去思考是对他享受休闲时光的一种打扰,于是思考变成一件让人“劳累”的事儿。在这个快节奏的时代,沉思更是成了一件奢侈的事儿,部分人索性选择随思想大流,享受思考舒适圈带来的“安全感”;部分人则以“思考者”自称,将重复他人的想法伪装成“独立思考”。当然,还有少部分人在坚持真正思考,静心观察这个世界。改造世界的正是这些“少数人”。 我们渴望对不同领域的问题进行深入思考与探讨,抽出时间进行“自我沉浸”,以便更好地了解自身与社会。 The theme “Contemplate” refers to serious and in-depth thinking about a certain thing or intention. Most people subconsciously assume that in-depth thinking is exhausting and unenjoyable. Hence, contemplation becomes a luxury. Some simply choose to follow the mainstream, immersing themselves into the "sense of security" brought by conventional thinking. Some copy others’ opinion, yet disguise themselves as “independent thinkers”. Fortunately, there’ s still a minority of people who are actually thinking and observing the society. The power to change the world is holding in their hands. We want to create a community where we can immerse ourselves in profound thoughts and discussions about different subjects, so that we can better understand ourselves and the society.
