I deeply understand the philosophy of life conveyed by Tagore's poems, that is, life is a process of constantly cutting down on the complicated. I've seen countless people burn their memories at night to make their dreams transparent, and I've seen people throw away yesterday in the morning and their steps become lighter. This is the wisdom of life, knowing how to be pure and have few desires, and be silent, there must be a clear blue sky in your heart.
Some people may wonder about people like Ran Yong, thinking that he is not good at arguing. But Confucius gave a different view, emphasizing that we should not be too good at words, but should focus on self-cultivation and virtue. Lao Tzu also once said, "Great debate", the real wise person does not lie in how fluent his words are, but in his wisdom and profundity.
In the journey of life, we will encounter all kinds of stormy waves, but only by staying quiet and calm can we better swim against the current. Jia Xu worked as a counselor under Cao Cao, he was well aware of his situation, and chose to use "few words" to protect himself. In that complicated era, he chose silence to protect himself and his family. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, Jia Xu was named Tai Lieutenant, and after his death, he was even more worthy of enjoying the Tai Temple. This is the result of his deliberation and the embodiment of his wisdom in life.
Yi Zhongtian once commented on Jia Xu very pertinently: "Being able to judge the situation in troubled times, live the longest, and save your family is the real great wisdom." This is the sign of maturity, keep your mouth shut, listen more, observe more, think more, precipitate in silence, and transform in silence.
Overall, being thoughtful is a wise attitude to life that allows us to maintain inner peace and sobriety in a complex world. Only when you want to open can you feel happiness;If you can't think about it, you can only fall into the quagmire of pain. Therefore, we should learn to cherish the present, grasp our own rhythm of life, and live our own wonderful life. An important reason for inducing mental internal friction is to think too much. In "The Death of a Little Civil Servant", the protagonist Cervia falls into endless anxiety because of a small sneeze, and although the general forgives him tolerantly, he constantly magnifies this mistake, which eventually leads to his own nervous breakdown. This act of thinking too much does not do you any other than bring endless torment to yourself. As the ancients said: "If you walk too much, it hurts your feet."People think too much, and it's the heart that gets tired. ”
A psychologist once conducted an experiment in which the experimenter wrote down all the troubles of the next seven days and threw them into a box called the "worry storage box". Three weeks later, he opened the box and checked with the experimenter, only to find that ninety percent of the troubles had not occurred. This shows that the vast majority of life's troubles are caused by thinking too much and doing too little. In ancient times, the people of Qiguo were always worried that the sky would fall, and they were worried all day long. In fact, such concerns are pointless.
In "Mirror Flowers", the people of Bo Xi Country are worried about lack of sleep and are afraid that they will not wake up. In fact, this concern is unnecessary. You know, the future is coming out, not thinking out. Instead of thinking too much, it is better to be down-to-earth, and in concrete actions, gain inner stability and find your true self.
As described in Liu Zongyuan's "The Legend of the Scorpion", the small insect scorpion likes to carry things, and no matter what it encounters, it will grab it and carry it on its body, and finally be crushed by the burden. It also tells us to reduce our desires and not to be greedy too much, so that we can live more easily.
In conclusion, we should learn to control our thinking, not to overthink, but to focus on action and practice. It is only through practical actions that one can truly attain inner stability and true self. I would like to share a story about how one chooses a minimalist lifestyle and enjoys life.
In 1845, a top student at Harvard University gave up his social status and identity and moved to a log cabin on the shores of Walden Lake to live alone. He loves nature and experiences a simple and pure life. Two years later, he came to the conclusion that if one can meet the basic needs of life, one can enjoy life more calmly and to the fullest. This man is the American writer Thoreau, whose attitude to life has influenced many people.
In today's era of rich and colorful material and spiritual life, we tend to lose ourselves and pursue more material and spiritual enjoyment. However, choosing a minimalist life is a beauty of life. Mr. Yang Jiang's words remind us: "A simple life and a noble soul are the highest state of life." "A simple way of life brings tranquility, while a dull life brings life to depth.
A wise person never argues with others in words, and timely silence is a kind of wisdom and the greatest realization of a person. Excessive annoyance will only make people anxious, draining their energy and dragging down their bodies. And the people who have the hardest time to perceive happiness are often because of too much desire. The more people want, the easier it is to become a prisoner of desire.
In general, we should learn to cherish the existing life, choose a minimalist lifestyle, enjoy a simple and pure life, pursue true tranquility, and build a simple and rich spiritual world. In this way, we can better perceive the beauty of life and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
