Anthropology is a science dealing with man and his origins. I redefine anthropology here as "being interested, without judgment, in the way other people choose to live and behave," in order to turn it into a strategy which is geared toward developing your compassion as well as a way of becoming more patient.
When someone acts in a way that seems strange to you, rather than reacting in your usual way, such as, "I can’t believe they would do that." Instead, say something to yourself like "I see, that must be the way she sees things in her world. Very interesting." In order for this strategy to help you, you have to be genuine. There’s a line between being "interested" and being arrogant, as if secretly you believe that your way is better.
Recently I was at a local shopping mall with my six-year old daughter. A group of punks walked by with orange spiked(成锥形的) hair and tattoos(文身) covering much of their bodies. My daughter immediately asked me, "Daddy, why are they dressed up like that? Are they in costumes?" Years ago I would have felt very judgmental and frustrated about these young people—as if their way was wrong and my more conservative way was right. I would have blurted out some judgmental explanations to my daughter and passed along to her my judgmental views. Pretending to be an anthropologist, however, has changed my perspective a great deal; it’s made me softer. I said to my daughter, "I’m not really sure, but it’s interesting how different we all are, isn’t it?" She said, "Yeah, but I like my own hair." Rather than focusing on the behavior and continuing to give it energy, we both dropped it and continued to enjoy our time together.
When you are interested in other perspectives, it doesn’t imply, even slightly, that you’re advocating it. I certainly wouldn’t choose a punk rock lifestyle or suggest it to anyone else. At the same time, however, it’s really not my place to judge it either. One of the basic rules of joyful living is that judging others takes a great deal of energy and, without exception, pulls you away from where you want to be.
In what way is being arrogant different from being interested?
选项
A、Being arrogant means you refuse to change your mind.
B、Being arrogant means you only care about your own affairs.
C、Being arrogant means you believe nothing is worth your attention.
D、Being arrogant means you think your way is superior to that of others.
答案
D
解析
第二段最后一句说“感兴趣”和“傲慢自大”的区别就在于后者认为自己的方式比别人的好。
