The human heart is like a container, and there will always be garbage after a long time.
Only by cleaning up regularly, letting go of undesirable thoughts, and pouring out chaotic and bad emotions, can people live more freely and freely.
Pour out bad feelings
Someone once said: A low soul is more likely to kill people than a virus. ”
Once people are swayed by negative emotions, they are prone to self-consumption and fall into endless worries.
The writer Ping Kaishun's father is very enthusiastic and likes to fight unevenly.
One day, he saw a car parked on the sidewalk at the entrance of the community, and it was very inconvenient for pedestrians to pass by.
So he walked over and persuaded the driver to drive the car away.
A lot of reasoning was said, but the driver was unmoved, and the two argued.
Finally, the driver yelled: "I'm in your way, it's okay to get out of the way." ”
My father was very uncomfortable when he heard this, and his heart was full of anger and grievances, and he could not let go.
Two days later, my father suffered a stroke.
Ping Kaishun later sighed that if his father could relieve his emotions in time, he might not be sick.
When people reach middle age, we often encounter all kinds of troubles.
Or the child's naughtiness, or the work is not going well, the collapse is often in an instant.
But many times, it's not things that crush people, it's negative emotions.
Only by learning to resolve emotions can we reduce the consumption of emotions on ourselves.
When you are anxious, start with the small things at hand and let yourself take action to relieve anxiety;
When you're sad, go to the movies, do something you love, and fill your heart with happiness
When you're irritable, you might as well empty yourself and find deep inner peace.
Life is unsatisfactory, ten out of ten, everyone will have negative emotions, we must know how to let go in time.
has been entangled in negative emotions, and the whole person can only be controlled by emotions.
Don't dwell on remorse, let go of the past in order to embrace the future.
Pour out prejudice
One day, the prejudiced mother let him go out to find the truth and enrich his knowledge.
On the way, I saw a group of people who fought for the truth, and even defended it with their lives.
Prejudice doesn't understand, is the truth really so noble, as for being so desperate?
Then he turned around dismissively, contrary to the truth.
After that, prejudice wandered for half a lifetime, and never found the truth.
The wise old man admonished him:
Don't waste your time, because you don't want to see the truth in your heart, and even if it comes to you, you won't accept it, and how can you be favored by the truth.
Only when you are calm in your heart and obey the truth will you appear noble and learned. ”
Prejudice will not make you different, it will only make you farther and farther away from the truth.
In the documentary "Unpleasant Food", some Americans don't like Chinese food with MSG.
Because they feel that eating too much MSG will cause dry mouth, dizziness, and even blood pressure**, which is not good for the body.
In order to dispel concerns, many restaurants have pledged not to use MSG and put up slogan billboards.
This sounds unrealistic, as it is impossible for a restaurant to be completely free of MSG.
In fact, in the U.S. food industry, monosodium glutamate is the most used food additive, and Chinese food is by no means the main use scenario.
Obviously, it is not MSG that makes them mind, but Chinese food and even prejudice against China.
Being prejudiced will not make you look different, it will only make you more and more blind and appear more ignorant.
Managing one's own prejudices is the greatest self-discipline of adults.
Throw out greed
I once saw a little story.
The little monk traveled down the mountain with **, and saw a cow spinning in a circle, with some fresh grass next to it, which it wanted to eat but always couldn't eat.
The cow was not tied with a rope, and the little monk looked at it and was very confused.
* Seeing the apprentice's puzzled face, he said, "The rope in its heart is not broken." ”
Always tied to a tree, the cow thought that the shackles were still there, so he never took half a step out of the circle.
The rope on the cow's body, like the desire of the human heart, always wants to break free, but always can't break free, adding endless troubles.
Once, a student said to Socrates:
Teacher, there are a lot of strange items in the market, and if you go around, you will definitely return with a full load. ”
Socrates happily went for a walk, but came back from the bazaar empty-handed, buying nothing.
The students were amazed and came to inquire.
Socrates said happily
When I went to the market, I realized that there were very few things I needed in this world.
That's my biggest takeaway. ”
For him, buying only what he needs, even if he is in a bustling market, is not burdened by things outside his body, and he is not trapped by desires, this is his happiness.
Socrates once said: Contentment is a precious treasure, and desire is artificial poverty.
The more desire, the more pain there is, and the more pleasure will be away.
If desire is an abyss, then you keep filling it in, and you can't fill it anyway.
Historian Huang Zongxi also said: Less desire to feel light.
Only the less desire, the more happiness there will be.
Smart people who have been doing subtraction all their lives.
When we discard the unimportant 90% of our lives, the remaining 10% will allow us to gain more.
A good life requires continuous tidying up of oneself, and this life will become calm and relaxed.
