I don't know from which movie I learned such a philosophy, that is, interpersonal relationships and even other relationships can be explained by the word "interests". Of course, interest here is not what we often call a derogatory term, but a neutral term. If you think about it carefully, the relationships that can be maintained for a long time are all implicated in "interests". Whether it's emotional comfort, kinship or partnership, these are our "interests". If there is nothing that helps us, only hurtful things, will we still stay around? The answer is clearly no.
Since we all love to raise turtles, there can also be a "benefit" relationship between turtles and us. Many people persist for ten or twenty years, and there are a lot of benefits and positive energy.
Benefits of Keeping Turtles:
Cultivating the heart and qi: Raising turtles is actually a kind of flexible exercise, which unconsciously helps the physical fitness and mind of turtle keepers. In the process of raising turtles, learn to cultivate self-cultivation and experience the beauty of "quietness". I like the static beauty of turtles, so that I can have a "quiet" home in the chaotic world.
Wide audience: Whether busy or leisure, turtle breeding is suitable. Raising turtles requires taking time out to take care of them, but it also needs to find a balance in life, reasonably arrange the types and quantities of breeding, and make the balance between busy and leisure more harmonious.
Increase self-identity: Correct and scientific feeding will make the turtle more and more robust and look good. Looking at the turtle cubs that I have brought up since childhood, I will have a sense of accomplishment. At the same time, helping sick turtles get out of the disease is also a thing to increase their sense of self-identity.
Increase the level of knowledge: In the process of raising turtles, we will continue to study the knowledge of ecology, genetics, disease prevention and so on. Over time, your knowledge level will also be enriched.
Regulate emotions: Turtles grow slowly and are not in a hurry, requiring the patience and care of the owner. After raising turtles for a long time, they will slowly integrate into life, making your temperament more gentle and more able to control your emotions. When you are restless, looking at the humble turtle is also a soothing way.
Of course, there are many more benefits and positive energy of turtle farming. Everyone's circumstances, feelings and purpose of raising turtles are different, and only you, as a owner, can slowly experience it. For example, some people will say that raising turtles can make money, make soup, improve feng shui, etc., these are all "profitable" relationships between you and it.
I believe that at this time, you are still in the days of being with the turtle, then the "benefits" in this must exist. Everyone's experience and feeding experience is different, and only you know the fun and emotions best. I hope that this positive energy can always accompany us.
