What is the Tao? First of all, let me explain that I am not talking about Daojiao.
Everything that happens in this world is the Tao, and the Tao is a name given by Lao Tzu. Besides, Lao Tzu also said that the name is very famous. Of course you can call it nature, or you can call it a phenomenon, or you can call it a fundamental, whatever you like.
Why is it said that everything that happens is the Tao? Because everything evolved from the Word. We cannot say that robbery is not the way, justice is the way. It's all ways to survive. Different cognitions, different positions, different angles, different social and cultural attributes, and different feelings of the Tao are different.
Why is today's proposition the road to simplicity?
It stems from one thing, and I would like to share it with you.
I drove my grandfather home today, my grandfather is 88 years old this year, and he lives alone in a community built for the elderly, all of which are bungalows. The area of a room is about 30 square meters. Grandpa was illiterate and had never read.
On the way, I asked my grandfather a word:
What is the meaning of human life? ”
Grandpa replied without hesitation
How can there be a meaning, there is no meaning, the sun (sun) rises, sets, eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, it is a waiting for death. ”
After listening to it, I was quite emotional, this may be the most simple expression of ordinary elderly people.
Is it a true portrayal of the old age of the people at the bottom? Or is it the sorrow of an ordinary old man's life? Or is it that there is no meaning in human life? Hit the nail on the head!
I think silently, we have been searching for the meaning of life, the meaning of life, this question has been ** thousands of times human beings.
Well, maybe meaninglessness is the biggest significance! Grandpa's thought meaning is the meaning of his life. Perhaps each age stage has a different meaning.
We always like to impose a definition on something, to distinguish between good and bad. If we don't use the so-called language to impose it, then we will return to the Tao, return to nothingness, and everything will be orderly and natural.
At the same time, eat, sleep, day, night. Eating and sleeping is the most basic need of people, and it is also a state of simplicity, not enough to eat three meals, not to sleep three feet. Day and night are also the natural operation of the avenue, and the yin and yang changes of heaven and earth are a state of nature and simplicity.
I asked my grandfather again, how much does it cost a month?
7-8 bucks a day!!
I silently calculated, 300 a month, less than 5000 a year!! Potato and cabbage stew, the staple steamed bun is steamed by itself! Extremely simple life!!
After all, think about it, people always want too much, have too many desires, and never get satisfied!
When I arrived at my grandfather's house, a house of about 30 square meters, a wardrobe, a kang, a stove, a clock, a small Xiaoice cabinet, a stove, and an old TV!
That's what life is all about!!
I think it's extremely comfortable!!
Let me talk about my grandfather's character again, he never fights, he doesn't rob, he doesn't talk much, and he doesn't take the initiative to chat and talk. You ask, he answers, always right, always good!
That's what I'm going to share with you! Look at the essence through the appearance and leave it to everyone!
Personal boring sharing, don't spray if you don't like it, let the flowers become flowers, the trees become trees, and fully respect everyone's way of living.
By the way, my grandfather has 5 children, all of whom are married, and he doesn't like to live in the children's house, so he gave birth to a wise saying:
Good food, good drink, good hospitality, just don't want to be there. ”
Grandpa also often said: The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own nest.
