The longer you hold on to something, the more nervous you feel, the stronger the desire to get it, and the deeper the pain of loss. But in the end, whether it is gained or lost, the heart is unattainable, everything is a game, and it is empty after all.
Everything in the world is constant and impermanent, everything changes with the change of the heart, and everything outside is just a reflection of the inside; The same sky, the same thing, the good or bad mood can distinguish different results, so instead of changing the world and gaining endlessly, it is better to change your heart, let go of the troubles you want, and live naturally.
The hunger for money mostly comes from worrying about the future life, when there is enough money to meet the daily life, no matter how much money is pursued, it is nothing more than to satisfy one's vanity. Rich people naturally look up to people, but their hearts are also money**, in order to make people look high, continue to work hard to make money, with 100,000 I think there are 1 million, with 1 million there will be more desires, and the thirst for money is endless.
Why did that person come to this world, if we are always addicted to this money game, can we still see ourselves clearly, just constantly spinning in the mire, and we are still playing with joy, and we can't extricate ourselves from it.
Since you can realize this, you should let go of it, there is nothing that you can't let go, once life was to live, in order to fulfill your responsibilities and grit your teeth to survive; Why is there a lot now, and you have to keep pursuing, and let yourself fall back into this endless hunger and thirst. There is a lot of money, but my soul is less and less free.
Put it down when it's time to put it down! It's too tiring to hold it in your hands, and only by letting go of your mind can you integrate with heaven and earth, and there is no need to give up the whole world for some money. People are so stupid, the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, heaven and earth are naturally mine, I have to get along with myself, to grab that little bit of money, it's really sad and lamentable.
I don't know if I can get out of my psychological trap in the future, maybe it's just a feeling of temporary frustration, but I will insist on recording my own psychological change process, find my true self little by little, let go of things that don't belong to me, and embrace the universe of life.
It is really meaningless for people to pursue money obsessively after forty, what should be experienced has been experienced, what should have been owned, and greed too much will only lead to more and more self-loss. The important thing is to stick to your hobbies, running, meditating, and writing, so that you can be enriched, so that your mind is more and more broad, and you can be happy and fulfilled, so that you can spread this joyful energy and spread the happiness in your heart.
When I write this, my heart is calm, and the sense of joy comes naturally, and the happiness obtained by material things is only a sensory stimulation, which makes people confused, and from time to time I will be confused. Only the awakening of the soul can go straight to the source of the heart, go deep into the heart, and the external things will naturally let go, and a kind of compassion and joy will naturally arise and spread all over the body.
I am also thinking about why we will unnaturally go back to our hearts after falling into the pursuit of money, because the happiness of Faxi is incomparable to the happiness generated by material gains, and we are all seeking physical and inner happiness, whether it is earning money or practicing, we all want to be free and happy, since we can get happiness by letting go of unnecessary pursuits, why not do such a simple thing.
The road is simple, do nothing and do everything; Now I don't lack anything, what I lack is a solid Dao heart, and in the future, I don't care about external gains and losses, just go with the flow, and my body and mind will wander in the heaven and earth!
