Why do people who frequently read history tend to have a more stable aura?

First, the rise and fall of dynasties in history tell you that life will not always be in a trough, nor will it stay at a peak forever.
The difficulties that seem insurmountable today are often just a phase on a longer time scale.
Second, countless heroic figures in history show you that even the most outstanding people face setbacks, and even the strongest powers experience decline.
Life's setbacks are not exceptions but the norm.
Third, social changes in history reveal that many problems you think are unprecedented have actually recurred repeatedly.
Economic fluctuations, industry reshuffles, technological revolutions, and class shifts all have traces to follow.
Fourth, success and failure cases in history tell you that the outcome is often determined not by temporary gains or losses, but by long-term choices and accumulation.
Short-term wins and losses are not that important; sticking to your direction is more crucial than emotional fluctuations.
Fifth, the laws of human nature in history show you that people are driven by interests, influenced by emotions, and swept up by the times.
Once you understand these laws, you won't easily be overly elated or depressed by someone’s words or actions.
Therefore, the greatest value of reading history is not memorizing stories, but gaining a longer time perspective.
When a person’s time coordinate shifts from months to decades or centuries, many immediate big issues become smaller, and many current anxieties gradually fade away.
A stable aura is not fundamentally because one has seen the world, but because one has witnessed too many rises and falls, knowing that nothing lasts forever and nothing is worth excessive panic.
