In the fast-paced modern society, we seem to be Xi to living in the hustle and bustle, and rarely have the opportunity to calm down and interact with ourselves and the spirit of heaven and earth.
However, Zhuangzi tells us that only when we are alone and empty ourselves can we clear the fog, wander outside things, communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth, and see the truth of life.
The higher the level, the more people like to be aloneThey don't need to prove their worth in social situations, and they don't need to seek comfort in material comforts.
On the contrary, they are more focused on spiritual pursuits, and are more willing to think, reflect and improve themselves in solitude.
Emptying oneself can lighten one's spirit. In our busy lives, we are often burdened with various pressures and burdens that prevent us from thinking and acting freely.
Emptying ourselves allows us to let go of these burdens for a while, to bring our minds and selves back, and to have a clearer understanding of ourselves and the world.
At the same time, emptying oneself can sublimate the soul. In solitude, we can hear our inner voice, we can feel the pulse of life and breathing.
This experience makes us cherish life more, love life, and make us more firm in our beliefs and pursuits.
In short, what Zhuangzi said about "being alone with the spirit of heaven and earth" is a state and an attitude. It tells us that only in solitude can we truly know ourselves and the world, and only when we empty ourselves can we lighten our spirits and sublimate our souls. Therefore, we should learn to look for opportunities to be alone in our busy lives to allow our minds to rest and nourish.
