The so-called "ancestral wisdom" passed down through generations in China is not a universal truth of life, but a highly sophisticated social control software. Its core function is not to enlighten wisdom, but to maintain stability, tame individuality, and divert conflicts. Enduring hardship to become a superior person. What is its control code? It is the worship of suffering and the solidification of hierarchy. Where are its logical flaws? Fault attribution and survivor bias. From a logical perspective, it confuses suffering—an unintended byproduct of success—with a necessary condition for success, only highlighting the narratives of a few successful individuals while hiding the silent majority swallowed by hardship. So, what is its psychological manipulation path? It is future fantasy and compensation psychology—creating a grand future meaning to anesthetize oneself from the inescapable present pain. Its ultimate goal is the desire to become a superior person, to identify with and aspire to enter the upper echelons of the exploitative system, completing a twisted transformation from the whipped to the whipper. In one sentence, suffering is just suffering and not worth praising. What is worth praising are the systems that eliminate suffering and individuals who overcome it, not suffering itself.
