In the face of the vagaries of fate, we are like a drop in the ocean, small and short. However, it is this insignificance that makes us realize the importance of accepting all that fate has given us. As Dzongsar Rinpoche said, "What you accept, disappears."What you oppose, there is. If you fail to realize that your enemy is the ego, you will spend all your time and energy on changing others, only to end up empty-handed. ”
Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan, two outstanding poets of the Tang Dynasty, entered the official career together and joined the wave of reform led by Wang Shuwen. However, the failure of the reform was like a bolt from the blue, Wang Shuwen was beheaded, and the two of them were also relegated to a deserted place - Liu Yuxi to Lianzhou, Liu Zongyuan to Yongzhou.
In the face of such a blow, Liu Yuxi chose not to fight against fate, he gladly accepted and started a new journey. In the place of debasement, he wrote the "Burrow Inscription" that has been passed down through the ages: "The mountain is not high, and if there is an immortal, it is famous;The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin ......"Although his life is simple, he is open-minded. On the contrary, Liu Zongyuan could not bear the blow of fate, and spent his days in tears, depressed, and his poetry was full of resentment and sorrow.
In the end, Liu Yuxi survived the hardships and was able to return to the capital and enjoy a long lifeHowever, Liu Zongyuan died young and died of depression. This is the bitter fruit of fighting against fate, which will only make people tired, miserable and helpless. Learn to let go, reconcile with fate, and firmly believe that everything is the best arrangement, and life will become easy.
Accept the impermanence of fate, and no longer fear impermanence;Resisting the test of fate will only make life more difficult. It is: "What you accept, disappears."What you oppose, there is. ”
In the journey of life, we should focus on our own cultivation and perfection, rather than trying to change others. All the troubles and frustrations actually stem from their own shortcomings. Therefore, we must find the root cause of the problem from ourselves, and win the respect of the world and the favor of destiny by changing ourselves, improving ourselves, and strengthening ourselves.
Zeng Guofan, a famous minister of the late Qing Dynasty, once served as the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang, and was a very popular minister. However, there was also a difficult time in his early years. He once exhorted himself: "Feed a ball of spring and support two poor bones." "Even if you are at a low point, you must maintain the sunshine and vitality in your heart, persevere, forge ahead, and support your future with strength.
Life is like a lonely river, and only oneself is the ferryman of one's own life. Don't expect help from others, but rely on your own efforts to change and achieve yourself. In this way, you will be treated with the tenderness of fate.
Parasitic mayflies in the heavens and the earth, a millet in the sea. "In the vastness of the universe, we are all humble beings, and we don't have to fight against fate, because it is a battle that cannot be won. However, we must not waste our time, we must continue to strive for self-improvement, because God rewards hard work, and fate always favors those who persevere and move forward bravely.
