Yang Jiang said: "When you are humble, you have the opportunity to see the truth of the world." ”
In the midst of the disturbances of the world, this sentence is like a beacon, guiding those confused and wandering souls to discover the true meaning of life obscured by the worldly haze.
Being humble does not mean a low status, but a state of mind, an attitude of letting go of oneself and observing the world with an open mind.
In the current materialistic situation, people often lose themselves in the comparison, the high position can not be raised, the low place is disdainful, only those who remain sober in the silence, can be with an ordinary mentality, insight into the world.
Confucius once said: "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher." He is telling us that we can learn knowledge and wisdom from others, no matter what the circumstances. Even those who have the most ordinary experiences and the most humble situations also contain rich life philosophies waiting for us to discover and comprehend.
People at the bottom of society, their aspirations are simple and pure, and their material life may be relatively poor, but their hearts are often rich and heavy.
They have tempered a pair of discerning eyes in the tempering of reality, can see through the vanity of fame and fortune, and understand the good, evil, beauty and ugliness in human nature. Their perspective is a depth and breadth that is hard to reach from above.
The French philosopher Montesquieu said, "A true philosopher is one who loves a quiet life." ”
And a peaceful life is often hidden in the ubiquitous ordinary. It is not a complaint of adversity, nor is it a carnival of good times, but to find a pure land in humility and keep the peace and brightness of the heart.
In such a pure land, we can watch the ebb and flow of the tide, see the ups and downs of the world, and experience more subtle and precious things besides fame and fortune - such as the smile of the family, the nod of the passerby, the sound of the flowers blooming, and the trajectory of the falling leaves.
Emerson once said, "The only true wealth in the world is the value of a man." ”
Humble circumstances are the best moments that inspire us to cherish life as it is, and it reflects our attitudes and values towards life like a mirror.
Perhaps, it is in humility that we can learn to observe the world in more nuance, and learn to feel the warmth, sorrows and joys of the world with a more tolerant heart.
We will find that even a drop of water can reflect the vastness of the universe, and the cycle of the four seasons is hidden between the leaves.
As Zhuangzi said, "Heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me." ”
This means that each of us is a part of the universe and has equal value and dignity, regardless of our external conditions.
The journey of life is full of unknowns and uncertainties, we are constantly looking for a place in the rush, hoping to get a glimpse from a high place, but true wisdom and insight are often the best insight from a low place.
The hardships of life teach us to be strong, while humble situations give us a broader perspective and a deeper understanding.
Let us find strength in humility, wisdom in simplicity, and the true meaning of life in the ordinary.
Following the guidance of Mr. Yang Jiang, we may be able to re-examine ourselves, let go of our posture, lower our posture, and feel and learn with a humble heart, so as to achieve a higher state of life.
In this process, you will find that humility is no longer a bondage, but a rare state of mind, allowing you to see clearly those neglected, tiny, but real, beautiful, and radiant things in the world.
