When we stand at the starting point of life and look at the unknown distance, will we think that God has already arranged a person's birth, old age, sickness, and death?
This sentence seems to reveal the deepest mystery of life. Have you ever wondered why we meet certain people at certain times, in certain places?
Why do some people live a long and healthy life, while others suffer from illness and die young?
Life is a long river full of twists and turns and unknowns, and every time life comes, it is worth welcoming with awe.
In this river, we experience a variety of landscapes and encounters, and birth, old age, sickness, and death are the four important stages that everyone has to go through.
Today, let's describe these four stages in depth and understand the true meaning of life.
Birth: A starting point that cannot be chosen
Parents bring us into this world, and who our parents are, seemingly random, are actually pulled by fate. Our parents and we have the fate of past and present lives.
The child owes his parents, and the child will repay the favor in this life;Parents owe their children, and children will come to collect debts in this life.
Whether it is to repay the favor or collect debts, the essence is fate, but it is just a good fate and a bad fate.
This so-called fate, in addition to the relationship between mother and son, father and daughter, is also related to our mission. Some people were born into this family to build a family. Some people are born into this family because they are ruined.
Seeing the founding generation of Xingjia, many people sighed, why are other people's children so outstanding?Seeing the rich second generation of the loser, many people sighed, why do their children only sit and eat empty?
Whether it is a prosperous family or a ruined family has nothing to do with the education received, but only with the mission of the person in this life. This is the so-called "everything is fate, not the slightest person".
Where we are born is the arrangement of fate for the rest of our lives, you and me, just accept the reality.
Aging: The Fairness of the Years
As time goes by, we all grow old. This is the greatest fairness of the years.
No matter how much wealth and status we once had, we will eventually return to the ordinary.
Our faces are aging, our bodies are no longer strong, and our minds are dulled. However, getting old is not a terrible thing.
It means that we have experienced the ups and downs of life and accumulated valuable experience and wisdom.
Over the years, we have learned to be tolerant and understanding, and to cherish and be grateful.
We have come to understand that the meaning of life is not the pursuit of external glory and wealth, but the inner peace and tranquility.
Sickness: The Test of Life
There is a saying that only after suffering from life will you cherish the blessings of peace. Only by enduring a certain amount of illness can we cherish our healthy life even more.
Some people are sick, no matter how serious they are, they can turn evil into good fortune, and afterwards, they will live in the present, basically putting the accumulation of virtue and doing good deeds in the first place, and will not have any complaints.
Some people are sick, even if it is not serious, they may not be able to survive and die, they have no future, and their lives are fixed on the day they return, and everything becomes a regret.
God makes a person sick and heals him in order to test him, make him cherish the people in front of him, and cherish the life in front of him. God let a man be seriously ill and take him away, perhaps because his time has come.
After experiencing a little illness and pain, there is no need to complain all day long, and there is no need to lament the difficulties of life. You know, this is already God's greatest gift.
Illness is not terrible, but what is terrible is that people lack reverence and lack the contentment of cherishing the present. A person who is neither fearful nor satisfied will not be happy after all.
Death: The end of acceptance.
People, why are you so afraid of death?Because everyone has more or less unfulfilled wishes, or rather, everyone is afraid of unknown and painful experiences.
The matter of returning, whether fearful or not, will inevitably arise and will not be affected by people's subjective will. So, instead of being afraid, it's better to accept it.
Death is the end of life. Many people feel fear and uneasiness in the face of death.
However, we should understand that death is not the end of life, but the beginning of another form. It is part of the cycle of life and a manifestation of the laws of nature.
The Buddha said, face it with a smile, don't complain, go with your heart, follow your will, follow your fate.
How long can you live, we don't count, the doctor doesn't count, the prince and the general don't count, God says it.
At the end of life, we should look back on our life journey and learn from our own experiences and lessons.
At the same time, we should also leave some good memories and contributions for our families and society. This is the kind of life that is meaningful.
Birth, old age, sickness, and death are inevitable processes that everyone has to go through. We can't change the process, but we can choose how to face it.
I think that as long as you live once in this life and don't have too many regrets, that's enough.
