Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
Kazuo Inamori once said, "People always interpret happiness as having a house, a car, money, and power. But happiness should be none, worry-free, worry-free, disease-free, and disaster-free. ”
Happiness seems to be far away from us, as if we need to pay off our mortgage and car loan, we need to have a large amount of savings, and we need to have the power to control everything in order to feel happy.
However, in the process of chasing these material things and power, it takes too much energy, sometimes exhausting, sometimes forgetting to sleep and eating, sometimes losing oneself, and sometimes involuntarily.
You seem to be a hard-working, self-motivated person, but in fact you are a walking corpse who forgets the beautiful process in pursuit of the goal.
In Chinese society, it may be difficult to do without a house, but there is no need to grieve yourself in order to live in a bigger, more luxurious house.
Living in a better house itself does not wronged you, however, in the process of paying the mortgageThere is a lot of work that you don't want to do, and you need to give up a lot of happiness that you don't want to give up.
In the end, a better house was bought, but there was no time to rest and relax in the house.
Of course, it is more convenient to have a car, but buying a car beyond your ability is essentially just to achieve your own comparison and show off.
In fact, the car is just a means of transportation, a machine that should serve people, and you can't put the cart before the horse, so that you can become a machine that keeps working for the car.
On the contrary, I am not afraid of losing my ability to be leisurely, I am not afraid of losing the high-end houses and cars that show my identity, and I am not afraid of losing the bags and jewelry that people envy.
I am not afraid of losing relatives and friends who like to show off, are greedy for vanity, forget their righteousness for profit, and climb the dragon and the phoenix.
I am not afraid of losing a job that requires braving the wind and rain, working tirelessly, wearing the stars and the moon and being dusty.
I am not afraid of losing the monstrous power that can only be obtained by losing all conscience, doing all kinds of evil, being inhumane and hurting nature.
What is happiness?Happiness is not directly proportional to money, contentment can lead to happiness, and inner wealth is far more likely to make people happy than family wealth.
Everyone has desires, and suppressing them is an inhuman experience, but the secret to being happier lies precisely in this.
Happiness is not to let yourself chase endlessly in order to realize your desires, and you can't stop making progress.
Happiness requires more cultivation, cultivating oneself to suppress the pace of pursuit, but to improve one's ability to stop, enjoy the process, and cherish the beautiful people, things, and things that you already have.
Cultivating oneself to suppress the narrowness of one purpose can only be seen in the eyes, but to improve the ability to accept all things that go wrong and the ability to accept all imperfections.
The Tao Te Ching has a cloud: "At the beginning of all things, the road is simple, and the evolution is complex." ”Complexity is a multitude of things, and simplicity is a standout.
There is a cloud in the Tao Te Ching, "If you have no desire, you will be strong, and if you do nothing, you will do everything." ”The more complex something is, the simpler it is. It's just that people's hearts are not ancient, and desires are troubled.
Whatever you want to control, you actually control. When you don't want anything, everything in heaven and earth is yours. If you don't ask for anything, you will return with a full load.
Happiness is the ultimate goal that people pursue in their lives, but in the world of flowers, it is easy to go astray.
In the end, all the glitz, success and failure, gains and losses, are one enchantment after another, if you can see this dream clearly, you can get out of the predicament and embrace the beautiful world.
